Where can I buy tickets?
There are a few ways to get Taylor Swift Mexico City tickets when they go on sale:
– Via Ticketmaster Mexico online or by phone when tickets are released to the general public. This is the official source.
– Through fan club presales. Swift’s official fan club presale offers early ticket access before the general on-sale. Join her fan club online to get the presale code.
– Citi cardholder presale – Citi cardholders can use their card to get presale tickets for select shows.
– Reseller sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek etc. These let you buy/resell tickets, often at inflated prices. Use caution to avoid scams.
– Local ticket sellers – Check Facebook Marketplace and MercadoLibre for residents reselling tickets. Can find good deals but use due diligence.
– Box office – You can buy at the Foro Sol box office but selection is limited.
Getting Into the Fan Club Presale
One of the best ways to access Taylor Swift concert tickets early is through her official fan club presale. Here are some tips to take advantage of the fan club presale:
Join the fan club
Joining Taylor Swift’s official fan club, TaylorSwift.com, gives you early ticket presale access. There is a fee of around $50 USD per year to join. Membership also includes perks like exclusive content and merchandise. Sign up well in advance of the Mexico tickets sale.
Verify your account
Make sure to have your fan club account verified with your personal information, payment details etc. This will ensure you can access and purchase presale tickets smoothly.
Get the presale code
Fan club members will be emailed a special presale access code needed to unlock tickets during the presale. Keep an eye out for this in your email inbox closer to the on-sale date.
Log in ahead of time
On the day of the presale, log into your Ticketmaster account ahead of the start time and make sure your payment information is ready to go. This will streamline the checkout process.
Look for the presale option
Once the presale starts, there will be a separate link or ticket sales option for ‘fan club presale’. Use your unique code here to access tickets. Act fast, the allotment sells out quickly!
Using Presales to Get Tickets
In addition to the fan club presale, there are often other presales leading up to the general public on-sale date. Here are some tips for making the most of presale ticket opportunities:
Find presale codes
Search for Taylor Swift presale codes online through fan forums, her official social media, or songkick/ticketmaster presale links. Sign up for alerts from the arena and ticket sellers too.
Use multiple presales
There are separate presales like Amex, Spotify, Venue presales etc. Try for tickets in each presale to increase your chances before the big on-sale.
Have accounts set up and logged in
Having accounts created on Ticketmaster, AXS etc will save time during checkout. Make sure your payment info is ready to go.
Be ready right at the start time
Presales start right at the listed time, so be on the ticket site a few minutes early and keep refreshing. The limited quantities go incredibly fast.
Try on both desktop and mobile
Sometimes one platform or device works better than others, so trying on both a computer and phone may help get tickets. Clear your browsing history/cookies too.
Buying General Public On-Sale Tickets
If you don’t score tickets in a presale, don’t give up! Here are some useful tips to get tickets during the general public on-sale:
Get online early
Log into Ticketmaster Mexico at least 30 mins before the on-sale time and make sure your account is ready to go. The virtual queue fills up fast.
Use different devices
Have family or friends try on their own phones/laptops all at the same time. The more devices trying, the better chance you have to beat the competition.
Keep trying!
Don’t give up right away even if you don’t see tickets. Keep refreshing and trying as seats are held then get released over time. Persistence pays off.
Aim for single seats
Buying single seat tickets instead of groups gives you more purchase options and a better chance at checkout before others. You can try grouping them after purchase.
Have backup payment methods
Sometimes a credit card will get declined in panic-buying mode. Use PayPal or have a backup card ready to go to avoid payment issues.
Waiting in the Ticket Queue
Popular shows like Taylor Swift often have a virtual waiting room queue before you can access tickets. Here are some tips for navigating the ticket queue:
Don’t panic if you see a wait time
Long wait times are typical – don’t stress. As long as you join before tickets sell out, you will move through the queue.
Keep your place in line
Don’t refresh or leave the waiting room page or else you lose your place in line and have to start over. Be patient.
Use your computer and phone
Some report moving faster through queues on mobile. Have both devices queued up to pick whichever gets access to tickets first.
Stay calm once ticket selection opens
Once inside ticket selection, don’t panic buy the first thing you see! Take a breath and find the seats you want.
Work as a team for multiple devices
If you have family/friends trying too, communicate so you’re not buying duplicate tickets. Coordinate and buy together.
Avoiding Scams and Fake Tickets
When shopping for in-demand Swift tickets, there are always scammers out there. Use caution and only purchase from trusted sources.
Red flags include:
- Prices that seem too good to be true
- Requests to pay by Zelle, Venmo, Paypal Friends & Family instead of Goods & Services
- Sellers using stock images instead of actual ticket photos
- Spelling and grammar errors in listings
Safest options:
- Buy directly from arena box office or Ticketmaster
- If reselling, use StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek – platforms with buyer guarantees
- Meet locally in-person if buying from an individual
Trust your gut – if something seems sketchy, walk away and find tickets from a verified source. It’s better to pay more for guaranteed valid tickets than waste money on scams.
Alternate Options to Get Tickets
If you strike out getting Mexico City tickets through regular sales, don’t lose hope! Here are some other creative ideas to find tickets:
Team up with other fans
Band together with other Swifties in Mexico City fan groups and coordinate to help each other buy extra tickets during sales.

Check last minute inventory releases
Venues will often release seat inventory in the week leading up to concerts. Check back for last minute seats.
Try general admission standing room
