Taylor Swift fans attending singer’s Edinburgh shows complain they forked out £662 for tickets – only to be given seats with a restricted view

Taylor Swift fans who forked our £662 for a VIP ticket to see the singer live in Edinburgh have been left sour-faced after claiming to have a restricted view. The 14-time Grammy winner kicked off the UK-leg of her record breaking Eras Tour in Edinburgh this weekend, performing three sold-out shows at the 73,000-capacity Murrayfield Stadium.

While the show has been given five-star reviews across the board, some fans say they could hardly see the star, despite forking out for the most expensive tickets. Swifties who brought the ‘It’s Been A Long Time Coming Package’ paid £662, plus fees, to get a a merchandise bundle as well as what is described as a ‘unforgettable reserved seated ticket’.

But taking to TikTok, many have said the seats were ‘behind a tent’ or ‘to the side’ meaning they struggled to see the Anti-Hero singer. One attendee said they complained about their seats – only to be moved to another restricted seat. Another complained they’re seat was ‘behind a pillar’ and he could ‘barely see Taylor’. A third added they paid £680 for a ‘lovely view of a tent’.

Holly Evans, 29, took to TikTok to say is was a ‘great show’ but she couldn’t ‘see Taylor’. She shared a video showing her seat behind the crowd and block by by barriers and tents. Sinead Fitz said she was ‘scammed’ by Ticketmaster and given an obstructed view twice. Taking to TikTok she said there was a ‘lot of back and forth’ with Murrayfield stadium, who said they would be moved in their seat was an obstructed view.

She added that she contacted TicketMaster in March over concerns her view may be obstructed, she said after she arrived she spoke to a member of staff who then moved her to another obstructed seat. Another guest, called Michael, who splashed out on the It’s A Long Time Coming package, said he was ‘looking straight at a pillar’ which was blocking the stage. ‘I had an amazing time, but I could barely see Taylor,’ he explained, adding he could ‘just about see he torso’.

‘VIP seats, restricted view, how does that make sense? Can you please explain?’ ‘I’ve spent a lot of money for a restricted view’. FEMAIL have contacted Ticketmaster for comment. Last year, when the tickets first went on sale, Ticketmaster came under fire after early bird fans paid up to £662 for pricey VIP tickets, which come with exclusive merchandise alongside one of the best seats in the house.

But some of these same seats have now appeared without the VIP extras, and have been listed for the face value price of around £184. Fans hoping to secure tickets revealed they were shocked by the price drop, which appears to be random, with some VIP packages still remaining on the site. Some fans have revealed they have now bagged tickets for just 27 per cent of the original price, while others have been left fuming and saying they effectively paid nearly £500 for ‘a few posters’.
