One Taylor Swift fan has shared a clever trick to check exactly what position you're in when trying to buy tickets in the Ticketmaster queue.

The tip comes in handy and just in time as millions of Swifties are expected to try and bag tickets for The Eras UK and European tour next week.

Demand will be extremely high and Ticketmaster is inviting fans to buy tickets for the general sale via registration only.

Fans of the 33-year-old will also be able to buy tickets from Monday, July 10 as part of the pre-sale if they bought the album Midnights last year.

The Lover singer caused an online meltdown when she announced an extension of her tour last month and now the 'Great War' is on to get tickets for one of the most highly-anticipated tours of 2024.

The artist will be playing shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, Dublin and London in June and August next year. This comes after her sell-out The Eras Tour which has been travelling across North America.

In anticipation of the ticket sales next week, many US fans have been sharing their successes to help out their fellow global fans.

One fan, Sonia, shared on her TikTok page how she managed to perceiver and be patient during the Ticketmaster queue for the US tour.

In the video she tells fellow Swifties that they can check where they are in the online queue, even if the Ticketmaster queue says '2,000+' people.

She said: "You're going to right click on your computer and click inspect and then it's going to pop up this side tab.

"Then you're gonna go to 'network' and then search the word 'status' and you have to click on 'preview', 'ticket', and it says my number and my expected wait time."

Sonia also explains to fans that the right-click tool will not work for those buying tickets on their phones, only via a desktop computer.

Many fans praised Sonia's 'incredible' trick in the comments via her TikTok video which has received thousands of likes so far.

One fan said: "So cool, thank you."

Another said: "That's incredible."

One user asked what would happen if they changed the queue number to 1 in the side tab and Sonia advised "not to mess with it."
