4 Taylor Swift Indianapolis tickets are up for auction. Here's how to bid.

Swifties still looking for tickets to Taylor Swift's November shows in Indianapolis have a chance to buy a "VIP" experience for one night through a local silent auction.

Four tickets to Taylor Swift's first Indianapolis show on Friday, Nov. 1, are up for sale in a silent auction organized by Firefly Children and Family Alliance, a nonprofit focused on building strong communities in Indiana. People do not need to attend The Family Table, Firefly's new annual fundraising event, to bid on auction items.

The auction closes Thursday, Sept. 12 at midnight. As of Wednesday afternoon, the current bid was $10,000.

The seats, located in a lower-level corporate suite in Lucas Oil Stadium, offer a straight-on view of the stage and are described as a "VIP experience" on Firefly's auction site. The tickets include unlimited food and beverage during the show.

Another central Indiana online fundraiser is auctioning off two Taylor Swift floor tickets, with proceeds benefitting Susie's Place Child Advocacy Center. That package is going for more than $30,000 and closes Saturday, Sept. 14.

How hard is it to get Taylor Swift tickets?

Swifties have struggled to buy tickets after Ticketmaster logistics complicated the initial sales and crashed the website, leaving many without tickets.

As the last U.S. stop on Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour, resale tickets are still astronomically high, less than two months before her shows. On Wednesday, the cheapest get-in-the-door ticket on a resale site was priced at $1,647 in section 604 for a partially obstructed view.

Increasingly, raffles and auctions are popping up as the Indianapolis shows inch closer, but they require either a bit of luck or a lot of money. For instance, a Bloomington couple organized a raffle for a chance to win two tickets. Raffle tickets cost $10 and can be purchased through Oct. 1 in Bloomington.

In past shows, Ticketmaster drops last-minute tickets hours before concerts where fans can buy tickets at face value. But those tickets are few and far between and highly competitive.
