Ticketmaster halts Taylor Swift ticket sales in France in another headache for fans

The trouble between Ticketmaster and Taylor Swift's “Eras” tour isn't over — with the latest snafu affecting fans hoping to score tickets in France.

On Tuesday, after some fans reported issues with accessing Ticketmaster's site, sales for six of Swift's upcoming shows in Paris and Lyon were abruptly postponed. An explanation wasn't immediately clear, but in posts on Ticketmaster's French Twitter several hours after the pause began, the ticket seller cited a problem with a third-party provider.

Ticketmaster directed The Associated Press to the Twitter statement. In the posts, Ticketmaster maintained that tickets to the France shows are still available and that the provider was “working to resolve this matter as soon as possible.”

The company added that any codes that were not used for ticket purchases Tuesday will remain valid — and that impacted fans “will be notified directly of the new onsale date and time.” The new times have yet to be specified.

Tuesday's chaos arrived after the spectacular breakdown seen last November during Ticketmaster's sale of “Eras” tour tickets in the United States — when Ticketmaster’s site crashed during a presale event for Swift’s stadium tour and thousands of people lost tickets after waiting for hours in an online queue.
