Now, seeing swift in concert is just in Stinson’s 'wildest dreams', but she's relying on 'karma' to make it happen.

“I was trying to go to her U.S. Tour date and I’m a university student so I don't have that money but I decided it doesn't matter for Toronto I will go,” she said.

The demand across the country is expected to be high.

Canada doesn’t have large enough facilities other than Toronto. I don’t doubt that all six nights will be sold out. They’re not fools when it comes to figuring out how many nights and what the dollar price of their tickets are,” said economist Moshe Lander.

It's a 'delicate' situation though. Only a limited number of fans who registered ahead of time will receive a code by email to access tickets. Ticketmaster using a registration process to weed out bots and scalpers.

It's speculated that specific time slots will be assigned, to help deal with the crush of ticket buyers.
