Katelyn Sailor, a New York City influencer, and her husband Kyle embarked on a spontaneous road trip to Toronto without tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour final stop in the Canadian city. Despite their best intentions, they faced an escalating ticket price frenzy that turned their Swiftie adventure into a costly saga.
With just six hours before the show, Sailor updated her Instagram followers with the reality of their predicament: “PS: we don’t have tickets.” Despite having monitored ticket prices over the weekend, she revealed that prices skyrocketed on the day of the event.
“The bad news? We stalked tickets last weekend, and they went way down. Today? They went up,” she shared.
A screenshot of available seats showed the cheapest options costing $3,750 each.
As panic set in, Sailor’s text exchanges with her mother reflected her desperation. “If your son-in-law took me to Toronto to NOT see Taylor Swift, I’m gonna murder him,” she joked. Adding to the chaos, with less than two hours to go, she posted a photo in her concert-ready outfit, captioned, “The face of a gal whose husband made her get ready but still doesn’t have f***ing tickets.”
Eventually, the couple secured last-minute tickets for $1,896 each—relatively cheaper but still steep.
However, this relief came with added drama as they awaited ticket transfers outside the stadium. “Holy freaking sh*t, we bought them and I’m just waiting for them to be transferred. I can’t breathe,” Sailor exclaimed. The uncertainty persisted even as the clock struck 8 PM, with Katelyn humorously lamenting that she had spent their dog’s “college tuition” on the tickets.
In a fortunate twist, a call to StubHub confirmed their ticket transfer and unexpectedly upgraded them to floor seats in the eighth row. Sharing a video from the concert, Sailor expressed her elation: “I actually don’t know how it gets better than this. Can’t breathe still. Signing off. WHAT IS LIFE.”
Their impromptu journey to Taylor Swift’s show became a story of persistence, fandom, and the highs and lows of chasing once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Despite the stress, Sailor concluded her Toronto adventure with an Instagram post, “I had the time of my life fighting StubHub with you,” a nod to the chaos shared with her husband.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Toronto marked the conclusion of her Canadian stops, with the grand finale set for Vancouver from December 6 to 8.
