Tickets for Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour will no longer be put on sale Friday, after Ticketmaster said there is an insufficient ticket inventory to meet high demand.

Fans flocked to the ticketing website, which is part of Live Nation, Tuesday for the first round of presale tickets, causing site disruptions and slow queues.

Greg Maffei, CEO of Liberty Media, Live Nation’s largest shareholder, told CNBC the site was only supposed to be open to around 1.5 million verified Taylor Swift fans, but 14 million people, including bots, hit the site.

Maffei said Ticketmaster sold more than 2 million tickets on Tuesday and demand for Swift “could have filled 900 stadiums.”
