SINGAPORE, July 6 — At 1am this morning, 28-year-old Tasha Sahidin boarded a bus from Johor Baru for Singapore, and immediately headed straight for the Sengkang Central post office, where she has been queueing since about 4am for tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert.
Many came with foldable chairs, mats, snacks and items that they believed would bring them good luck, such as vinyl records of Swift’s music and manifestation crystals. “With over a million people queuing up yesterday, there are sure to be people who didn’t manage to get tickets queuing up today,” she said. “But this is definitely madness!”
Competition has been intense. When a pre-sale was opened on Wednesday afternoon, all available tickets were sold out in three hours.Tasha told TODAY that Swift’s music has had a special place in her heart since she was a teen, when a teacher told the girls in her class to listen to the songOther Swifties expressed similar sentiments of growing up listening to Swift’s songs and taking comfort in her lyrics.
“After we failed the UOB pre-sale, we took whatever we had on us and got to Sengkang post office,” she said. “We also queued up here for Coldplay tickets but we like Taylor more, so we started queuing at 5pm instead of at midnight for Coldplay.”The first in line was Elmo Paciencia, a 23-year-old Nanyang Technological University student, who had started queuing at 6pm on Wednesday with his girlfriend.
A student who only wanted to be known as Chloe, 20, was third in the same line, having rushed to the post office at 7.50am this morning.
