Forget crashing ticket sale apps and pricey resale websites — one New Jersey dad was able to fax his request and score ultra-coveted Taylor Swift concert tickets at MetLife Stadium.

As first reported by NorthJersey.com, Bergen County Clerk John Hogan was on the hunt for tickets for his teenage daughter this past winter.

A commissioner on the board of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority suggested he fill out an ‘internal’ ticket request form, which Hogan actually faxed over.

Single tickets for one of the superstar's MetLife Stadium shows have been going for more than $1,400, at minimum, on resale websites — with similar situations at tour cities beyond NJ.
