Concert tickets can be a wonderful gift, especially if the giftee happens to be a big fan of that band or artist. But the wonderful gift proved a conundrum for Marius Larsen, a Norwegian native who recently moved to Australia and has two tickets to Taylor Swift.

“I’m desperate and confused in a country far away from home. Giving away a free ticket to a Taylor Swift concert,” Larsen writes in the description for his YouTube video, a last ditch effort at securing a date for the Tay Tay show.

“This is my story: I moved to Australia two months ago because of work. Before leaving my home country (Norway), my friends for some reason gave me two tickets for a upcoming Taylor Swift concert in Sydney. Probably because I used to sing and dance to that song.”

“The people back home expect me to bring a date. I’ve been trying to find someone, but still haven’t had any luck. It would be such a crushing defeat if I have to tell them I had to give up and go alone to the concert.”

“I tried to illustrate my problem in this video. Please help me spread it and maybe I can find someone. Time is running out. The concert is at ANZ stadium sat 28 nov. And if you are the right one, I have a free ticket for you!”
