Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area.
On Friday, the pop singer performed the first of two sold-out performances at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. On Saturday, she will also perform.
Those who had tickets filled the stands, while those who didn’t gathered about the stadium swapping bracelets and listening to their favourite songs.
The parking lot opens at 2 p.m., followed by the gates at 4:30 p.m. The show is set to start at 6:30 p.m. Swift has previously taken the stage at 8 p.m. and performed a 45-song programme for more than three hours at other stops on the over 100-date tour. Gracie Abrams and HAIM will open both Santa Clara gigs before Swift hits the stage.
With predicted traffic, delays, and road closures, spectators are recommended to use public transport. To accommodate Northern California concertgoers, Capitol Corridor is providing specials and a revised programme. Meanwhile, on both evenings, Caltrain will provide an extra post-event train.
In anticipation of a record number of people, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is adding 30% extra light-rail train cars to its service schedule, the most service it has provided for any event held at Levi’s Stadium.
At the Milpitas Transit Centre, fans may connect to BART through VTA. BART and VTA personnel will communicate to ensure that passengers can make their connections.
Despite tickets selling out nearly quickly on Ticketmaster, resale prices on secondary markets such as StubHub continue to exceed $1,000.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a consumer notice urging fans to be wary of ticket frauds, which have been prevalent throughout the tour.
According to NFL bag rules, Levi’s Stadium only accepts transparent bags no bigger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or tiny clutch bags no larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″. Otherwise, anticipate glitter, bright colours, and Swift-themed clothes. At events, fans have also started manufacturing and sharing friendship bracelets. Staff at San Jose Mineta International Airport will even trade handcrafted SJC-branded bracelets with passengers.
Outside of the stadium, no tailgating will be permitted.
Fans without a ticket will not be permitted to gather at the stadium’s parking lots or on neighbouring streets.
