Wembley Warns Ticketless Taylor Swift Fans Against Gathering Outside Stadium
Wembley Stadium has issued a warning to Taylor Swift fans without tickets, advising them not to gather outside the venue during her upcoming London shows. The popular trend, known as “Tay-gating,” where fans without tickets assemble near the concert venue to enjoy the atmosphere, has been prohibited at Wembley.
This practice gained attention last month in Munich, where approximately 40,000 fans gathered on a nearby hillside to catch a glimpse of Swift during her performance. However, Wembley Stadium has made it clear that similar gatherings will not be allowed, citing safety concerns.
A statement on the stadium’s website emphasized, “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. Non-ticket holders will be moved on.”
Wembley Stadium, which has already implemented heightened security measures following the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, will continue to enforce strict rules during Swift’s Eras tour. Fans attending the concerts are allowed only one A4-sized bag, and several items, including banners, umbrellas, laptops, and signs larger than A4, are banned.
Taylor Swift’s next Wembley concert is scheduled for Thursday, 15 August, as part of her five remaining dates at the iconic venue this month.
