Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has been sold out in stadiums in the USA since the beginning of March. Finding tickets to concerts is almost a status symbol. Some fans of the 33-year-old singer are willing to pay more than $5,000 to get a seat.

Experts believe the tour could break records and bring Swift's net worth to over $1 billion.

It even crashed the Ticketmaster site when 14 million people tried to buy tickets to a Taylor Swift concert on the same day in November last year.

Swift fans, who had the chance to attend concerts whose tickets were sold out just as they went on sale, both enjoy the fun and do not neglect to take home with them whatever they can keep as a souvenir.

On the other hand, there are those who are happy for Swift's arrival in their city but cannot find tickets or cannot afford the exorbitant prices of black market tickets. They are waiting at the gates of the stadiums, accompanying the songs and trying to experience that atmosphere by dancing. Even if her fans can't get in, she's dying to hide mementos from the concert.

For this very reason, an online market has emerged where concert-goers sell the items they bought from the concerts they attended. Here, sales are made to fans of the singer.

Some vendors sell pieces of confetti that were thrown into the air at the concert on eBay and Facebook Marketplace.

A Facebook user is selling a star-shaped confetti pack for $10 (£200) containing pieces of confetti in different colors representing each of Swift's albums.

An eBay user sells rectangular confetti packs in different colors for a higher price. The sale price of the confetti package, which includes a total of 50 pieces from Swift's Nashville concert, is 55 dollars (1100 TL)

Some concert attendees sell the Swift brand raincoats they wore on the Eras tour. Brand new raincoats are available for $10 on Taylor Swift's official website, but that price seems to be incomparable to a raincoat that has had a concert experience before.

An eBay user sells his used raincoat for $150. The seller wrote in the product description:

The raincoat is from the Eras Tour's Taylor Swift concert in Nashville. It has the same rain that fell on Taylor. Rare and one of a kind!!!

There are also fans who put the rainwater that fell during Taylor Swift's concert into jars and sell them. Online retail sites stopped rainwater sales, but the jars remained on sale for a while, with prices up to $250.

On Facebook Marketplace, a seller named Gigi has put up light bracelets from two shows she attended, one in Philadelphia and the other in Foxborough. He sells one of the bracelets for 50 dollars (1000 TL) because the light does not work, and for 75 dollars (1500 TL) the light is working.

Another concert goer sells tickets to the previously held concert for $70 on eBay. It says on the ticket that the concert, which took place in Philadelphia on May 13, cost $84 ($1670): $14 ($270) more than the resale price.

The most unusual of the postings is from a Swift fan who claims to be selling "concert vibes". The ad sells a plastic bag filled with "100 percent authentic air" from Taylor Swift's concert in Massachusetts on May 19.

The starting bid on eBay is $100 ($2,000), but so far no bids have been received.

In the product description it says:

It can't be confirmed, but it's highly possible that Taylor actually inhaled this particular air sample at some point during the show. This is your chance to own a piece of him and his period tour forever!
