Fans Without Tickets Advised Against 'Tay-Gating' at Taylor Swift's London Eras Tour

Taylor Swift fans without tickets for her London Eras Tour are urged not to gather outside Wembley Stadium, known as 'Tay-Gating.' Increased security measures have been implemented following Vienna's concert cancellations. Fans are assured safety for the shows running until August 20, featuring acts like Paramore, Griff, and Suki Waterhouse.

Taylor Swift fans without tickets to her upcoming London Eras Tour shows are being advised not to gather outside Wembley Stadium, as reported by People. The practice, known as 'Tay-Gating,' where fans congregate outside the venue to listen to Swift perform, is now being discouraged for Swift's next five concerts at Wembley, starting Thursday, August 15.

A notice on the Wembley Stadium website states, "Wembley Stadium is situated in a residential area. We kindly ask that only those with tickets or those visiting our merchandise megastore turn up to the stadium to avoid disruption to the local residents and businesses." The statement further adds that no one will be permitted to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium.

The restriction aims to support the safe entry and exit of concertgoers within the stadium. This comes after an incident in Munich last month where roughly 50,000 fans gathered outside the Olympiastadion to listen to Swift's performance. Swift acknowledged these fans on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for their enthusiasm.

The London shows mark Swift's return to the city since her three-night performance at Wembley in June. The venue has heightened security measures following the cancellation of Swift's Vienna concerts due to an alleged terror attack. Authorities in Vienna arrested three men in connection with the planned attack. However, the Metropolitan Police have assured fans that there's no indication of any threat to the London shows.

Wembley Stadium has noted that "everyone will be checked before entry," and no weapons of any kind are permitted. Swift's London concerts will feature supporting acts such as Paramore, Griff, and Suki Waterhouse, running until August 20.
