DETROIT —
If you're a Swiftie you've probably been waiting for months for Taylor Swift's The Eras tour to swing through our area.
Friday, June 30, and Saturday, July 1, fans who were lucky enough to get tickets can finally see the show in Cincinnati!
The long-anticipated tour kicked off in Arizona in March. The frenzy to buy tickets when they went on sale last November caused an infamous Ticketmaster meltdown.
Tickets were very tough to come by and have since been resold for prices far above face value.
For many diehard Swift fans, a chance to see their favorite artist live is well worth it.
Cincinnati shows
Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday.
