MILWAUKEE — Ticketmaster is canceling the public sale of tickets to Taylor Swift's "The Eras" Tour, the company announced Thursday.

The tour is expected to include hits from her previous albums, attracting long-time fans.

"Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow’s public on-sale for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been cancelled," according to Ticketmaster's Twitter account.

Swift fans experienced long waiting times and the Ticketmaster website even crashed.

Swift added 17 dates to her 2023 tour, starting in Arizona in March and ending in LA in August. She planned to play a total of 52 concerts during the tour.

The tour includes three dates in Chicago - not in Milwaukee though.

"We strive to make ticket buying as easy as possible for fans, but that hasn’t been the case for many people trying to buy tickets for the Eras Tour," according to Ticketmaster in a longer statement, NBC News reported.

Correction: The tour is in 2023, not 2013 as mentioned in a previous version of this report.
