'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' Concert Film Coming to Theaters

Didn’t get a chance to attend the sold-out North American leg of Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour? Well, the pop star is allowing everyone who couldn’t secure tickets or simply wants to relive the experience the chance to catch it in theaters. Swift announced via her social media channels on Friday that her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, will debut across AMC Theaters and Cinemark venues on Oct. 13 in the U.S. market. Passes for the theatrical event will be priced at $19.89 for adults and $13.13 for children. In an effort to avoid another Ticketmaster fiasco, AMC says it has bolstered its server capacity to handle traffic at more than five times the current record for most tickets sold in an hour. By the end of business on Thursday, Deadline was reporting a whopping $10M in ticket presales already.
