For millions of Taylor Swift fans, trying to get a ticket for one of her upcoming UK Eras Tour shows has been like gold dust, with thousands left struggling. The 'Fortnight' singer will be coming to the UK this summer, with gigs taking place in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Liverpool and London.

Her first show will kick off June 7 in Edinburgh, before wrapping up in London in August. If you are yet to secure yourself a ticket, you can keep tabs on Ticketmaster and AXS for official tickets, as fans who no longer can attend may decide to resell their tickets.

On the other hand, you could try you luck on resale ticket platforms like Viagogo and VividSeats. These sites enable you to browse without rushing, as tickets listed by fellow enthusiasts stay accessible until they are purchased. Below is a list of links you'll need:

Ticketmaster is currently listing tickets as 'low availability' for shows in Cardiff, Edinburgh and London. There is also 'limited availability' for concerts in Liverpool.

However, it is important to keep in mind any official resale tickets are highly likely to be bought very quickly. If you are struggling to get any tickets from the likes of Ticketmaster, there are secondary ticket resale platforms you could try.

Sites such as Viagogo and VividSeats currently have tour tickets listed. However, there is a pretty big catch - there are some tickets for as much as £6,000.

At the time of writing, one of the cheapest tickets costs £199 on Viagogo for her third performance in Edinburgh.

At the time of writing, the most affordable resale tickets are listed for £220 each on Viagogo, for her third and final night in Edinburgh. There are also tickets from £339 on VividSeats, also for an Edinburgh show.

For anyone who is able to travel further, there is an option to purchase seated tickets from £50 on Viagogo for this coming Sunday (May 19) for Swift's gig in Stockholm, Sweden.

AXS, one of Taylor Swift's authorised ticket sellers, urged fans to avoid buying resale tickets from unverified sources. A representative for Viagogo told the Mirror : "The European leg of Taylor Swift's Eras tour has been long anticipated.

"We've not seen anything like this since The Beatles, and with tickets having only just gone on sale, demand is at its peak right now. Viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the freedom to buy and sell tickets to their favourite live events, safely and securely, backed by a guarantee.

"Sellers on our marketplace may list tickets at high values when demand is high, but prices can change and tend to reduce over time. We recommend Swifties wait for demand to settle, and check regularly for a listing that meets their budget. Tickets for Taylor Swift's UK dates have already sold for as low as 172 GBP on our platform. Also, tickets listed at eye-catchingly high levels rarely, if ever, sell."

Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
