The general sale for Taylor Swift's Eras US tour has been cancelled. Ticketmaster, the company behind selling sets to the star's string of American dates in early 2023, said in a statement that the cancellation was due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory. Earlier in the week, the website sold over two million tickets in the pre-sales which subsequently crashed the website, leaving many who had early access empty-handed. Taylor is yet to speak out on Ticketmaster's move.
