Country music fans wanting to get tickets to see Taylor Swift in Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium snatched up all the tickets as of 2 pm on December 5, 2009. Swift, who is the CMA’s 2009 Entertainer of the Year, will be performing at Gillette Stadium, the home of the NFL’s New England Patriots, June 4, 2010. Country superstar and former American Idol winner Kellie Pickler will perform with Taylor Swift.
In a call into Ticketmaster.com, official seller for Taylor Swift’s Gillette Stadium concert to check on ticket availability for the Taylor Swift show, the availability changed from single tickets only being available to no more tickets available. The concerts of Taylor Swift have had a tendency of selling out within 15 minutes, so only those who were able to act fast were able to buy tickets to see Swift at Gillette Stadium in concert on her Fearless Tour.
Swift will be following the same path as other CMA Entertainers of the Year who have performed at Gillette Stadium such as Kenny Chesney. According to Ticketmaster, tickets for Swift’s Gillette Stadium concert sold for $74.75, $59.75 and $34.75, along with a convenience charge and a limit of six tickets per household.
Selling out a concert for country music in New England is surprising in some ways. After all New Englanders are as faithful to their classic rock as they are to their sports teams. However, a talented and young artist such as Taylor Swift has been able to prove that crossover is not only possible but also sustainable. Unlike K.D. Lang, one of Swift’s country predecessors who was only able to crossover with a single pop hit, the appeal of Taylor Swift isn’t limited strictly to fans of country music.
The nineteen year old Swift so far has managed to keep up an image that is squeaky clean, unlike some other young pop queens like Adrienne Bailon and Miley Cyrus.
Currently there has been no second date announced for a concert at Gillette Stadium. The only date that is currently not sold out left on Swift’s concert tour is her April 29, 2009 concert in Lexington, Kentucky. Tickets will go on sale for the concert on December 11, 2009. Her concert in Baton Rouge, LA on May 20, 2009 still has tickets available.
