Taylor Swift fans, disappointed by three cancelled shows in Vienna, had the chance to trade in their unused tickets for free Swarovski necklaces.
Video online shows fans lined up to get their necklaces at a Swarovski store in Vienna on Aug. 8. When fans showed their tickets, they were given free crystal necklaces—a blue crystal attached to a grey leather cord—according to reports by Storyful and local media outlets.
Fans posted videos of long lines of Swifties and pictures of their necklaces on social media.
According to local media outlets, there were various designs, including colourful circle pendants and clear sparkling blue stones.
The Vienna Tourist Board announced that the necklaces were out of stock the next day due to high demand.
