Taylor Swift Eras Tour Tickets Were Stolen By Hackers & Resold For $600K, NYC Prosecutors Say
A "cybercrime crew" stole hundreds of tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour and resold them for more $635,000 in illegal profit, prosecutors say.
Members of a “cybercrime crew” stole more than 900 tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour and other events and then resold them for more $635,000 in illegal profit, New York prosecutors say. The unprecedented demand for the tickets led to a disastrous presale in November 2022 and then created an infamously pricey resale market — much of which was driven by individual fans rather than sophisticated scalpers. According to prosecutors, Rose and an unnamed accomplice used their positions at Sutherland in Jamaica to access a restricted area of StubHub’s network that’s used to house URLs for event tickets that have already been sold.
