If you missed out on a chance to spend thousands of dollars on Taylor Swift tickets, you might get to watch the pop superstar in concert for a fraction of the cost.

The United Way Perth-Huron (UWPH) announced Friday it’s holding a charity raffle for two tickets donated by Dr. Erin and Mike Heisz to see Swift’s performance in Toronto on Nov. 23. The raffle supports UWPH’s United Housing initiative, the region’s first non -profit housing organization dedicated to developing and operating mixed rental units.

“We are so appreciative of Erin and Mike for providing these two tickets,” United Housing director Kathy Vassilakos said. “We are delighted to offer local Taylor Swift fans the chance to experience the Eras Tour while supporting a cause that directly impacts our community. Every ticket purchased helps us continue to build on our mission to provide affordable housing solutions for those in need.”

“United Housing is a cause that our family passionately supports, recognizing the immense value it brings to our community,” Erin said. “We have experienced in our own families and workplaces the difficulties obtaining safe and affordable housing in Perth-Huron and also Grey-Bruce, where we both are from originally. We are so happy that 100 per cent of the proceeds will help advance this local initiative. By making the raffle tickets affordable, we hope to give every Taylor Swift fan the chance to experience an unforgettable concert while also contributing to a meaningful cause.”
