There’s also an exception for Charlottesville, VA at the John Paul Jones Arena on September 14. This concert date will have a different general public sales date of Friday, February 22 at 10:00am, local time of the venue. I don’t know if that will change or not, but be sure to take note. There is no presale date reveal for it yet.
Tour Talk is my feature about concert dates coming up, with emphasis on sale and presale dates. However, there are some limitations here. I am not, by any extent, an official source of tour information. You can get official information at TaylorSwift.com. I compile the information for convenience, but it is subject to changes at any time by the official sources without warning. I don’t reveal presale codes. Like, ever. Whoever starts asking for them or announcing them on the comments gets a visit from the Ninja Department. I also don’t know the date and time in which presale emails will go out. Whenever possible, I’ll let you know but from previous experience they come out so close to the presale date that you should not rely on my announcement and check your emails instead. I will not add any presale/sale information for the VIP Packages.

Thanks so much for this info. I have been signed up with TC for awhile now and have been on the edge of my seat hoping to get news on the Phila presale. I am hoping to get tickets for my girls (7 and 10). My little 7 year old “swiftie” will turn 8 on the day of the Phiila show! Let me know when you hear anything about the Phila pre-sale. But I will continue to be on the look out on TC too. Thanks!
I keep reading that Taylor will perform in Austin, TX on May 21st but I don’t see Austin on any category for pre-sale tickets. I really want to go see her perform, so is there anyway to know the dates of pre-sale or for the general public for Austin’s tickets?
Not in advance. They’ll appear in Ticketmaster at any moment.
