Taylor Swift’s fans in Vienna were gifted a nice consolation prize after the superstar was forced to cancel three shows in the Austrian capital due to an alleged terrorist plot.
Following the devastating cancellations of the Vienna leg of the Eras Tour, the Vienna Tourist Board has taken to social media to share ways that fans, who flew in from all around the globe to see Swift, can enjoy their time in the city.
One suggestion was to receive a ‘crystal surprise’ from the Kristallwelten Swarovski store.
After making the announcement, X users confirmed, that in exchange for showing their ticket to one of the canceled shows, they were given a necklace.
‘Swarovski are giving away necklaces to Vienna Swifties,’ one fan posted via X on August 8. ‘You just have to show your ticket.’
The necklaces featured a large crystal set on a gray leather string.
Some of the pieces were colorful circle pendants while others featured clear blue stones.
Video on TikTok showed hundreds of fans lining up at a store to claim their gift.
A day later, the Vienna Tourist Board revealed that ‘due to overwhelming demand’ that the store did run out of the necklaces.
The arrest of a third suspect was announced on Friday.
The teen, like the two others arrested earlier, was reportedly radicalized by the Afghanistan-based ISIS-K.
Police say the main suspect, a 19-year-old man, planned to attack the tens of thousands of Swifties who gathered outside the Ernst Happel Stadium, with knives and machetes.
The suspect, allegedly put together explosives as well in order to ‘kill as many people as possible,’ officials said.
‘The group is considered the greatest external terrorist threat to the continent,’ claimed UN undersecretary for counterterrorism Vladimir Vorokov, who said the group had increased its recruitment efforts on the continent, according to ABC News.
The disappointment of not being able to see Swift perform did not prevent thousands of fans from taking to the streets to trade friendship bracelets and sing Swift’s songs.
‘When Swifties take all over your street,’ wrote a fan on TikTok showing some of the celebrations.
Swift is scheduled to resume the last leg of the European portion of her Eras tour in London, with increased security, beginning August 15, where she will perform five shows at Wembley Stadium.
Figures by Coinpoker.com indicated the same standing tickets can now be found on resale websites for as much as £6,515, the cheapest ticket available is £416.
On initial release, costs ranged from £58 for restricted view seats, to £110 for general admission standing.
