How to register for the Venture X Eras Tour ticket sale

To buy tickets during the Capital One Venture X Eras Tour sale, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps (and keep the deadlines in mind). Here’s a step-by-step look at how you can secure tickets to see Taylor Swift:

1. Check your email for the Verified Fan sale code

Check your inbox (and spam) for a targeted email from Capital One about the Venture X Eras Tour ticket sale. The email will contain a special registration code.

2. Add your Venture X Card to your Ticketmaster account

The Venture X Eras Tour registration page advises qualifying cardholders to, “have your Capital One Venture X card saved to your Ticketmaster Wallet at the time of registration.” Don’t skip this step before you register. You don’t want to be rendered ineligible because you didn’t follow this quick step before registering.

Ticketmaster will likely get overwhelmed (and maybe even crash). Adding your Venture X card to your profile ahead of time will speed up the buying process. This way, you’re not wasting time typing your card number on the checkout page.

3. Register for the Venture X Verified Fan sale

Using the code provided in the initial email, register on the Venture X Eras Tour Verified Fan sale. The deadline is 12 p.m. (ET) on Sept. 11, 2024.

Note, this code doesn’t guarantee you’ll get to buy tickets. It merely gets you a spot in line.

4. Buy your tickets

The Venture X Eras Tour tickets go on sale at 1 p.m. (local stadium time) on Sept. 13 and each cardholder can buy up to two tickets.

Make sure you’re logged in and ready to queue at least 15-20 minutes ahead of time. That way, if you have any issues logging in or accessing your account, you can take care of them swiftly (no pun intended).

Is it worth it?

I traveled to Singapore for the Eras tour and it was well worth it. Not just because I had front-row seats but because the concert was spectacular. Whether you’re sitting in the front row or the nosebleeds, you’re bound to have an amazing view of the stage – there really are no “bad” seats at the Eras Tour.

Scalpers are having a field day reselling tickets at absurd prices. So if you can manage to buy tickets to a U.S. show at face value, it’s well worth it.

Other ways to buy Eras Tour tickets at face value

If you’re not selected for the Capital One Venture X Verified Fan sale, you can still find Eras tour tickets at face value. The Eras Tour Resell account on Twitter connects fans with ticketholders who are willing to sell their tickets at face value.

They get a lot of demand and often have a waitlist, but you might get lucky and find tickets this way.

Another option is to buy Eras Tour tickets closer to the concert date. Prices tend to drop about a week out and you can often find face-value tickets the day of the show – especially if you’re willing to buy tickets in the nosebleed section. In all fairness, that section may be far off but offers impressive views of the stage and the numerous special effects throughout the night.

Bottom line

The Venture X Verified Fan sale is an incredible opportunity to score Eras Tour tickets for U.S. shows at a reasonable price. With just nine U.S. tour dates left, resale prices will likely be high so if you got targeted by Capital One and have wanted to see the show, this is your chance.
