- My daughters and I were fortunate enough to secure four tickets for a Taylor Swift concert.
- We spent months deliberating over which friend to invite as our fourth companion.
- In the end, my husband joined us and had an amazing time.
We had just finished dinner on a Saturday night in November. While my husband tuned in to a baseball game, I excitedly scrolled through Instagram. As a fan of Taylor Swift, I couldn’t contain my joy when I discovered that the Taylor Swift Eras tour ticket presale lottery was open.
Having previously spent a significant amount on Harry Styles tickets and dealing with overpriced resale tickets, I was determined to avoid scalpers this time. To ensure that my daughters and I could attend the concert, one of us had to win the lottery.
I turned to my husband, who was engrossed in the World Series on TV, and asked for our Ticketmaster login. Hoping for an excuse, I sent my daughters the presale directions and instructed them to register immediately. Within minutes, all three of us had enrolled, dividing our chances between New York and Boston.
We were fortunate to get 4 tickets
Out of the three of us, my daughter who lives and works in Boston was the only one to receive a pre-sale code. Since she worked from home on Tuesdays, it seemed like a good sign. After facing challenges during the ticket selection process, my daughter managed to secure three tickets for us and an additional ticket for $250 each. Although it was a considerable amount to spend, I justified it as Christmas presents.
We were amazed that despite Taylor Swift’s immense popularity, we had managed to obtain tickets at face value while many of our Swiftie friends were left disappointed. We agreed to keep our ticket fortune a secret, especially the fact that we had an extra seat.
For months, we debated over which friend to invite as our fourth companion. If only we had bought six tickets, each of us could have brought a guest. However, my daughter from New York removed herself from the equation to avoid disappointing many for the sake of one. Her older sister followed suit, leaving the decision to me. Choosing one lucky friend was a difficult task, akin to declaring a favorite child in public.
“If it’s such a big deal,” my husband teased, “just sell the ticket.” Of course, that wasn’t a feasible option.
My husband decided to join us
Unexpectedly, one day in April, my husband suggested that he should be the fourth companion. I had mixed feelings, concerned that my husband, who is indifferent to Taylor Swift, might feel uncomfortable among a stadium full of passionate female fans. However, our daughters loved the idea and welcomed him with open arms.
As the concert began, with amazing opening acts by Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers, it was evident that my husband was thoroughly enjoying himself. He eagerly awaited Taylor Swift’s performance, swaying to the music and singing along. I observed him glancing at our daughters, taking in their joy.
Everything was going well until Swift sat at the piano to play her second surprise song, and the instrument produced random notes. Soaked from the previous night’s rain, the malfunctioning piano threatened to break the spell we were all under.
My husband gave me a concerned look, expressing his worry. In that moment, I realized how wrong I had been to consider offering our extra ticket to anyone else but him.
