B.C. Man Demands Accountability from Ticketmaster After Taylor Swift Tickets Disappear
A troubling situation has emerged for Jeremy Brady, a resident of northern British Columbia, after his Taylor Swift concert tickets disappeared from his Ticketmaster account. Brady had purchased two tickets for the highly anticipated November 2024 Toronto performance of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, paying more than $2,000. However, in September, he discovered that the tickets had mysteriously vanished and were transferred to another person.
The confusion began when Brady noticed an email from Ticketmaster, alerting him that his account had been accessed from Corpus Christi, Texas. This was followed by another email stating, "Your Ticket Transfer Is On The Way To Joss." Naturally, Brady was shocked and reached out to Ticketmaster right away, but his efforts to get assistance were met with frustrating silence. For over two weeks, despite leaving messages and following up, Brady received no meaningful response from the company. His attempts to resolve the issue seemed to hit a brick wall.

Thankfully, once Brady reached out to the media, things began to change. After a Global News segment highlighted his story, Ticketmaster restored the missing tickets to Brady's account the very next day. While relieved to have his tickets back, Brady remains frustrated, especially with the lack of communication and the company’s poor customer service throughout the ordeal.
Ticketmaster has addressed the situation by reminding users to safeguard their accounts with strong, unique passwords, stressing that such incidents often stem from inadequate password security. Despite these measures, there is growing concern about Ticketmaster's ability to protect its customers. This case comes in the wake of a data security breach reported by Ticketmaster in July 2024, where an unauthorized third party accessed customer information. Although the company assured users that their accounts were secure, many customers still feel uneasy.
Technology experts have criticized Ticketmaster, arguing that the company has been slow to improve its cybersecurity despite multiple incidents. In fact, some believe that the lack of competition in the ticketing industry has reduced the company’s incentive to enhance security or improve customer service. For concertgoers like Brady, these lapses in security and communication are more than just an inconvenience—they represent a significant breach of trust, especially when high-value tickets like those for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour are at stake.
As Taylor Swift prepares to perform six sold-out shows in Toronto this November, the demand for tickets has created an environment ripe for scams and fraud. Ontario police have even issued warnings about scammers who hack into legitimate accounts and offer fraudulent ticket sales on social media platforms like Facebook.
Brady’s experience, unfortunately, is not an isolated case, but it does highlight a growing issue in the digital age of ticket sales. For fans, securing tickets has become a high-stakes game, and it’s clear that companies like Ticketmaster need to take stronger action to protect their customers from scams and improve communication when problems arise.
