If you were one of thousands of people who missed out on tickets to Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour, then you have one option left: you’ll simply have to win them. Luckily, there are plenty of competitions running right now offering Taylor Swift tickets as prizes. Praise be.
Now, you may be thinking, “But isn’t pinning all my hopes of seeing Taylor Swift live in concert on a literal competition a huge risk because the chances of winning are so low?” And you would be correct! However, may I also remind you that dealing with Ticketmaster’s loading screen of pain was also a huge risk with low chances. Swings and roundabouts. Winning a ticket also feels marginally more likely than someone deciding that no, they don’t want to go anymore, and selling their tickets on the resale site.
Because I feel for my fellow Swifties, I have rounded up every single way to win Taylor Swift tickets right now, and will be continuing to update this as more come out. Never say I don’t do anything for you, anonymous reader. (Actually, feel free to say it, because we do not know each other, you and I.)
Book dinner at a Crown Sydney Restaurant
Crown Sydney are giving away 44 Taylor Swift tickets to people who book a meal at one of eight different restaurants across December 3 to February 15.
There’s a few catches, of course: it must be a booking on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it must be for four or more people, and there’s a minimum spend per person for lunch or dinner. But if you wanted a decent chance of winning tickets, then booking dinner at Nobu or Woodcut seems like a fun way to try.
These are the restaurants involved in the promotion:
- A’Mare restaurant — min. spend: $80 per person for lunch, $120 per person for dinner.
- Cirq bar and lounge — min. spend: $70 per person for lunch or dinner.
- Teahouse bar and lounge — min. spend: $70 per person for lunch or dinner.
- TWR bar — min. spend: $70 per person for lunch or dinner.
- Woodcut restaurant — min. spend: $80 per person for lunch, $120 per person for dinner.
- Nobu restaurant — min. spend: $80 per person for lunch, $120 per person for dinner.
- 88 Noodle restaurant — min. spend: $80 per person for lunch, $120 per person for dinner.
- Silks restaurant — min. spend: $80 per person for lunch, $120 per person for dinner.
Total tickets: 44.
Tell NOVA FM which is your favourite Taylor Swift Era and why
This is by far the simplest Taylor Swift ticket competition to enter. NOVA FM is giving away two C-Reserve tickets to one of Taylor’s Sydney concerts, plus flights and accommodation, and all you have to do is hand over your personal details and tell Nova which Taylor Swift Era is your favourite and why. (Yes, that does mean you have to choose between Debut, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights, but at least there’s no wrong answers.)
The competition ends on February 2, 2024 at 5pm AEST, so you have some time. Unfortunately, the only eligible states are NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, for reasons unbeknownst to me. If you are a Tasmanian or Northern Territorian who is particularly aggrieved, I suggest you take it up with Big Boss NOVA.

Total tickets: 2.
Listen to Hit and call up when you hear Taylor Swift songs
Another super easy way to (maybe) nab Eras Tour tickets: listen to Hit100.9 Hobart between 9am to 3pm on Monday through Thursday, and call 13 10 60 when you hear a Taylor Swift song! It’ll get your name on a stand by list, and you could win 2x tickets so you can go with a friend.
To enter, you have to live in either Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, NSW or Tasmania (sorry Northern Territory and ACT), and be aged over 18.
There will be two winners chosen by Hit: the first winner will get two tickets for the Sydney concert, and the second winner will get two tickets for the Melbourne show. If you live more than 300km away from these cities, your flights and one night of accommodation will be covered up to the value of $4,500!

That’s all for now, folks. We’ll keep updating this story as new competitions open. If you are in the absurdly fortunate position to be giving away Taylor Swift tickets and would like to be added to this article, email me: alex.bruce-smith@pedestriangroup.com.au. (If you are a lovely kind human who would like to invite me personally, the email remains the same.)
May the odds be ever in your favour.
