When NFL players gain monumental success, they achieve celebrity status. They’re revered not for their skills on the football field, but merely for the presence they command. Furthermore, a commoner goes on to believe that these celebrity athletes are capable of getting whatever they might want. Whether it’s the latest merchandise, passes to games, or even tickets to concerts, one always expects stars to have the best version of it simply because they can. However, that might not be the case with Eli Manning and his most recent struggle to get what he wants.

Manning voiced out his concern over not being able to get Taylor Swift tickets. While speaking to People, the ex-quarterback mentioned how he wasn’t able to use his celebrity status to obtain tickets for the latest Taylor Swift show. Given that Manning has a certain special connection to the upcoming performance, this was very odd.

While Manning might have to struggle to get tickets, he might be able to use his connections to procure them. The concert itself is happening at MetLife stadium. Thankfully for Manning, he played quite a lot of his games at the stadium. The ex-quarterback has even shared the field with prominent NBA stars. He even mentioned this while speaking to People and said, “Luckily, I have a few connections at MetLife and since we play our games there, I was able to secure some, I think.” However, Manning might still have a tough time trying to get a Taylor Swift ticket as Swifties are desperate for a ticket.
