Exclusive Taylor Swift Ticket Opportunity For Capital One Venture X Cardholders – Forbes Advisor – Technologist

Swifties, here’s your chance.

Capital One is teaming up with Taylor Swift for a second time, giving Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Cardholders a chance at exclusive access to buy select tickets for The Eras Tour in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis.

If you’re a fan that missed out on Capital One’s first exclusive T-Swift sale in 2022, or were stuck in the middle of the Ticketmaster chaos, now’s your time to try again.

How It Works

Here’s the deal: Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Cardholders can register as a Verified Fan through Ticketmaster until September 11, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. ET. You’ll need a special one-time code to register, which Capital One has already sent via email. Make sure your Venture X card is saved in your Ticketmaster Wallet at the time of registering to qualify.

You can select up to three show dates from the Miami, New Orleans or Indianapolis stops of the tour. This doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed tickets. On September 12, Ticketmaster will send out emails to let you know if you’ve been picked to buy tickets or if you’re on the waitlist. If selected, you can snag up to two tickets when the sale starts on September 13.

Why This Matters

This second partnership between Capital One and Taylor Swift gives fans another chance to see The Eras Tour, one of the most sought-after tickets around. When presales went live in 2022, Ticketmaster’s systems couldn’t handle the demand, leaving tons of Swifties empty-handed and frustrated. This time around, everyone’s hoping for a smoother experience.

What Happens If You’re Put on the Waitlist

For those put on the waitlist, there’s still hope—if any tickets remain after the initial sale, you might receive another access code. But if past sales are any indication, the chances are slim—these tickets are likely to fly off the virtual shelves fast.

How To Qualify for Access to Taylor Swift Tickets Through Venture X

Want to get in on this? Here’s how to make sure you’re eligible:

1. Have a Venture X account. You must have opened your account on or before August 31, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
2. Be in good standing. Your account must be in good standing, so no late payments or account restrictions.
3. Email subscription. You must be eligible to receive Capital One’s marketing emails.
4. Ticketmaster registration. Register through Ticketmaster by September 11, 2024, using your unique code and ensuring your Venture X card is saved in your Ticketmaster Wallet.

While It’s Too Late To Get a Venture X Card for This Round …

There may be another chance at another time, though it’s not guaranteed that Capital One will partner with Taylor Swift again in the future. But, this exclusive ticket drop may have you interested in adding a Venture X card to your wallet. Just remember: The early ticket access should be the icing on the cake, not the only reason to get the card. In Taylor’s words, “You need to calm down” and focus on the full benefits.
