Vancouver Taylor Swift fan offers apartment in exchange for Eras Tour ticket

Free accommodation for Taylor Swift ticket Taylor Swift will be performing in Vancouver in about two weeks, and some fans are still desperate to get a ticket.

A Vancouver Swiftie is hoping for a miracle, as the pop star’s Vancouver stop on the Eras Tour inches closer.

Jacci Rai wasn’t able to nab tickets when presale codes were announced last November. With shows just a few weeks away, and still no luck finding tickets, Rai said her friend recommended a unique idea.

“We were trying to think of what we have as an advantage being in Vancouver and how we could get access to tickets without spending an arm and a leg. My friend suggested, ‘Well, why don’t you offer your apartment in exchange for tickets,'" she said, adding that she lives a short walk from the stadium.

Rai posted a video to TikTok outlining her request. As of Wednesday, the video has received more than 66,000 views.

While Rai said she’s had a few interested people reach out, she hasn't found the right fit yet.

“It’s not that weird, even though it sounds crazy,” she said. “I think it could be such a fun story.”

Walt Judas, CEO of the Tourism Industry Association of B.C., said Rai’s idea of swapping a place to stay for a ticket is reminiscent the innovative housing options that were common during the 2010 Olympics.

“I think people are creative," he said. "And hopefully we’ll see a whole group of people coming from out of town that enjoy Vancouver during that time.”

With some hotels priced over $1,000 per night during Swift’s December run of concerts – Rai thinks she has a good chance of her offer working out.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” she said. “We will do anything which is a little crazy. But what's crazier? Giving up my apartment? Or spending four-to-six thousand dollars for tickets?”
