Swifties without tickets are being banned from gathering outside Wembley Stadium for her upcoming Eras Tour dates. The stadium’s management has issued a strict notice, stating, “No one is allowed to stand outside any entrance to the front of the stadium or on the Olympic Steps. Those without tickets will be turned away.”
The move comes in response to heightened security following the cancellation of Swift’s three Vienna concerts earlier this month due to an alleged bomb threat. Although London’s Metropolitan Police have not received any specific threats relating to the Wembley show, the increased security reflects ongoing concerns for public safety.
In addition to the ban on ticketless fans, Wembley Stadium has also banned camping around the venue. The decision is aimed at preventing large gatherings and ensuring smooth operations during Swift’s five-night run at the stadium. Swift previously performed three concerts at Wembley in June, drawing around 90,000 people to each.
Wembley Stadium stressed its commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all concert-goers, stating, “We want Taylor Swift fans to have the ‘best day ever’ during the London leg of The Eras Tour.” The venue assured that all attendees will undergo thorough screening before entry and a respectful atmosphere will be encouraged to avoid any problems.
