There are thousands of Taylor Swift fans who were not able to get a ticket for the pop star's ongoing "The Eras" tour across North America, but three Swifties got the chance to watch the show completely free of charge; find out below how they did it.
The singer's ticket-selling period for her tour became controversial as Ticketmaster's website crashed while fans virtually lined up for their passes.
The shows were immediately sold-out, leaving fans disappointed. Some of them opted to buy or re-sell tickets, but they were more expensive than the initial price.

These are the exact reasons why 21-year-old Danielle Laurito initially thought she won't be watching the show as she couldn't afford the tickets. The superfan recently spoke with Elite Daily to share her experience.
Luckily for her, her best friend has a contact at the Gilette Stadium who sells food inside and they ended up volunteering in order to gain access to the show.
"I didn't expect to see Taylor perform, but I was happy that we'd be able to hear her while working and I'd get to create a core memory with my bestie and sister," she told the outlet.

Taylor Swift Fans Got Big Perks for Volunteering
The fan explained that she woke up early the day of the concert as she, her best friend, and her sister were required to go to the venue by noon.
Once they got their uniforms, they were given the tasks of what to do the whole day and after taking inventory of the times, they were free to roam around the venue for a short time.
The three Swifties were able to watch Phoebe Bridgers and GAYLE perform for the soundcheck that no other fans were able to see, even those who are in the VIP section.
Taylor Swift Fans Finally Saw Taylor Swift Perform
The lines became busy after the gates opened as thousands of fans purchased food from their stand for hours. Then it's finally time for Swift to perform and the lines at the food carts were immediately gone.
"We were able to watch Taylor come out, and alternated going back to the stand if we saw people coming to buy food. But, for the most part, we were able to watch most of the concert," she explained.
Laurito said it was a long day for the three of them as they were required to stay until after the show to close the stand, but the experience was worth it as they didn't spend thousands of dollars just to see the musician perform live.
