In May, I was lucky enough to experience the Taylor Swift Eras Tour twice: once by partying in the street outside of the stadium and one as a ticketholder experiencing the exhilarating show from fantastic wheelchair accessible seats.
At this point, it’s probably easier to get on a private rocket into space than it is to get Taylor Swift tickets, but don’t lose hope! There has been a solid track record of Ticketmaster releasing more tickets to each show as the concert gets closer – they even release them as the show is starting! That means you still have a chance to get inside the gates and rock out with thousands of other Swifties while enjoying a visually stunning show.
However, even if you do not get tickets, you can still enjoy the show from outside the stadium! In fact, that’s exactly what I did in Philadelphia. My husband and I drove to Philly – fully decked out in our best Eras Tour Outfits (my outfit was inspired by the You Need to Calm Down music video and I convinced my husband to dress up as a Mirrorball) – and had a blast dancing and singing with thousands of other fans in the streets outside the stadium all night long! We traded stickers and friendship bracelets, ate tons of delicious food, and (because Taylor Swift fans are truly the best) I never had to wait for the accessible bathroom stall, despite ridiculously long lines. If you have a chance to join a Taylor Swift street party, I highly recommend you do it.
If you can only get inaccessible tickets, buy them, and then contact the stadium to switch seats!I was able to attend the concert inside the stadium in Massachusetts just one weekend after I enjoyed the street party in Philly thanks to my incredible friend, Hannah. Hannah was able to get her hands on tickets, but she could only buy inaccessible seats. Because Hannah and I are both wheelchair users, we knew that the seats she purchased would not work for us, so I simply contacted the stadium and asked to switch seats. The stadium had no issue with this and easily sent us new tickets for accessible seats in a comparable area where the original seats were located.
