About an hour later the company tweeted that sales of tickets for Paris and Lyon had been stopped. Swift is currently playing shows on the 52-date U.S. leg of a world tour that will include more than 100 shows across five continents. Such is the hype around the tour that fans had been waiting online to snap up tickets for hours. Last year, Swift canceled the general sale for her U.S. shows after the presale saw overwhelming demand and crashed Ticketmaster’s systems. Ticketmaster said the cancellation was due to high demand and “insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand."
