Taylor Swift fans have rushed to sell their tickets for five concerts at Wembley Stadium, after a teenager allegedly planned a terror attack on one of the star’s Austria shows.
ABOUT THE TICKETS RESALE
Resale ticket site Viagogo had 839 two-seated tickets on sale for between £400 to £600, while other Taylor Swift fans asked Wembley to reschedule the events for later this month.
THE TERROR ATTACK PLANS
It comes after a 19-year-old Islamic State fanatic, identified as Beran A, is said to have obtained a blue flashing light and siren that could have enabled him to drive up to the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna where the shows were taking place.
The vehicle would be used to run over concert-goers before he emerged to attack them with knives and machetes and then trigger the bomb, potentially killing scores more, according to Austrian media.
The atrocity was allegedly planned for 4pm, when around 65,000 Swifties were due in the area, along with 30,000 who hadn’t secured tickets.

ABOUT THE CANCELLED CONCERTS
Ms Swift is due to perform again in London from August 15 to 20 while her three concerts – last night, today and tomorrow – in Vienna have now been cancelled.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the capital will ‘carry on’ with hosting Ms Swift’s shows.
He told Sky News: ‘We are an international city, we regularly host major events – we’re looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift back.’
SOME CONCERNS
One Taylor Swift fan said: ‘If shows won’t be re-scheduled, security better be 200x stricter than before please, we can’t let anyone get hurt.’
