Would love to get last minute seated tickets for the Eras Tour tonight or tomorrow in Wembley - if anyone has an unused fan code (i.e. you only bought 2 tickets of the allowed 4 on your code) that they’d be willing to share I’d be so grateful🙏🏻 #TSTheErasTour #TSTheErasTourLondon 10.4K views · 45 likes · 5 reposts · 23 replies Open on X →
