FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) A nonprofit organization based in Waltham is giving Swifties the chance to overcome the pre-sale ticket fiasco of last month with a raffle contest for two VIP packages to Taylor Swift's sold out Gillette Stadium "Eras Tour" performance this spring.
The Arc of Massachusetts, an organization that secures services for people with developmental disabilities, is selling raffle tickets at $50 apiece for the chance at winning four "I Remember It All Too Well" VIP tickets. Meantime, participants also have the option of buying a $25 entry for the chance to win two VIP tickets. Both packages each have a retail value of over a thousand dollars.
"This just means each purchased listing counts as one raffle entry - that is to say, interpret this instead as 'one entry per package,'" the Arc of Massachusetts said in a statement.
According to contest runners, every purchase will benefit and fund the nonprofit's advocacy and support for people with autism and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

The two VIP tickets are for Swift's performance at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Sunday, May 21, 2023.
Ticketmaster's presale of Swift's "Eras Tour" tickets became a bit of an infamous debacle, as the demand was so great it created incredibly long queues and even shut down parts of the vendor's website. According to Ticketmaster, over two million tickets were sold for its Verified Fan onsale on November 15, the most ever sold for an artist on a single day.
Raffle winners will be drawn on Friday, December 23.
