Ahead of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, Ticketmaster broke their promise.
People began to report problems with Ticketmaster at 9 a.m. The time is around 9:30 a.m. Ziff Davis is the owner of DownDetector. The fan pre-sale for the Eras Tour began at 10 a.m. and immediately went to the top of the charts on the social networking site. Swift has released four albums and re- recorded two albums in the last year, making the desire to see her at an all-time high.
It's a mystery how a better system has not been put in place after so many website crashes and ticket scalers jacking up prices that a better system has not been put in place.

It was even worse for the Swifties who weren't chosen for the pre-sale. The timeline was flooded with fans celebrating getting presale codes or cursing the website's name for passing them by when the emails arrived.

This is only a pre-sale for fans. There will be a Capital One credit carder holder pre-sale on November 18. The internet will be talking about everything until the end of the week. Karma may be on your side.
