Wembley points warning to followers with out Eras Tour tickets

Taylor Swift followers who do not have tickets to her upcoming London reveals have been warned they can’t stand exterior Wembley Stadium to absorb the environment.

It has grow to be a development for keen Swifties to collect the place she is enjoying, even when they cannot get into the present – a apply generally known as “Tay-gating”.

In Munich final month, an estimated 40,000 folks flocked to a close-by hillside to catch a glimpse of the star in motion.

But the apply has been banned at Wembley Stadium, the place Swift will play an extra 5 dates this month.

“To support the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium,” read a reminder on the venue’s website.

“Non-ticket holders can be moved on.”

Security measures at Wembley had already been tightened following the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, and strict security measures remain in place for the Eras tour.

Fans are only allowed one A4 size bag, with banned items including banners, umbrellas, glass or metal containers, iPads, laptops, aerosol sprays (including sunscreen) and signs larger than a sheet of A4 paper.

Earlier this month, a security threat led to the cancellation of three concerts in Vienna.

The first of Swift’s five remaining Wembley concerts takes place on Thursday 15 August.

Combined with the three dates she already played in July, Swift will equal a record set by Take That, who played the venue for eight dates on their 2011 Progress tour.

Swift will also surpass Michael Jackson to become the solo artist with the most shows at Wembley in a single tour. The King of Pop staged seven concerts at the stadium during his 1988 Bad Tour.

Tay-gating was also banned at Swift’s previous dates at Wembley – although some fans managed to congregate nearby.

The star’s Eras Tour is a global phenomenon that is on pace to make more than $2bn (£1.5bn) in ticket sales by the time it wraps up in Canada this December.

It sees the singer play hits from across her 18-year career, in a setlist that stretches for more than three hours.

She had played more than 100 dates before last week’s dates in Vienna were called off.

Authorities in Austria said they had foiled a plan by a supporter of the Islamic State group to carry out a suicide attack.

Three suspects, aged between 17 and 19, have been arrested. Austrian security officials said they had planned “to hold out an assault utilizing explosives and knives”.

Fans had worried that the London dates might be affected by the events in Austria, but the Met Police said there was “nothing to point” a further threat.

A spokesman said the police had worked “carefully with venue safety groups and different companions to make sure there are applicable safety and policing plans in place”.

They added: “As at all times, we’ll proceed to maintain any new data below cautious evaluation.”
