Tampa April 13-15 (2023)

[west horizon]

Use this thread if you are attending the Tampa Eras Tour Shows!

[finite cedar]

Hiiiii friends!!!!

[waxen niche]

going on the 14th and I still don't have any outfit plan 😭

[finite cedar]

Relatable

[west horizon]

it's only you two rn but i'm going through all the city threads and pinning the bag policy

[west horizon]

unfortunately tampa is the most strict of the tour with a straight up no bags at all policy

[finite cedar]

I’m considering sewing pockets into my outfit because of it 😭

[waxen niche]

ill probably end up wearing cargo shorts or smth, the last thing I wanted but no way I'm gonna survive with no bags 😭
and they can forget me renting a locker and running back and forth while mother is performing

[pearl thicket]

Good morning. Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please let me know and I will delete.

I am desperately trying to find tickets for one of these shows for my wifes birthday and hoping for some suggestions on where to look for tickets... I had no idea scammers would be so crazy!

[west horizon]

your best bet is gonna be either waiting as long as possible for ticket prices to drop or trying twitter

there's a twitter account that puts up peoples tickets and they're only allowed to sell at face value / what they paid etc

but it's a mad dash trying to contact the people selling cause everyone and their mother and their grandmothers are trying for tickets atm

[pearl thicket]

So update here, I was able to secure some tickets for the show! Has anyone ever been to this stadium before? I saw on the website that you can pre-purchase parking. Is that a good idea?

[waxen niche]

I've never been but I live literally right around the corner from it, and the traffic there even when there isn't any event going on is atrocious. So I would imagine it would make it much faster if you had pre-purchased it

[scarlet aspen]

All parking for each day, except for VIP which is about $53 and RV parking which is $120, is sold out

If you’re fine with VIP then go ahead and get it before it sells out

[sonic glade]

Hi guys do you know if I can bring 2 bags in total that follow the rules for the stadium? It’s because I’m going with another person

[finite cedar]

Yes if you each only have one

[sonic glade]

Ok thanks

[dusk elbow]

Am I allowed to bring my camera?

[sweet crescent]

Does anyone know if the stadium will allow outfits with lights on them? Or LED headbands?

[finite cedar]

Someone called and they said yes as long as the lights are only on the outfit

[finite cedar]

Check the stadium website to make sure it fits the guidelines!

[dusk elbow]

Okay tysmm

[warm imp]

Does anyone know if there is anyone organizing a friendship bracelet trade? I’ve been looking to see if anyone else was going to a show in Tampa and making them to trade!

[finite cedar]

I’m going and making bracelets!

[wild comet]

haiii

[primal knoll]

IM GOING APRIL 14TH AHHH!!!

[bronze tide]

does anyone know anyone who’s selling tampa tickets for a reasonable amount?

[sullen lantern]

does anyone need a buddy to go w the 15 😭😭

I want to go soo bad but have no friends to go with

[next musk]

This is my wife and I's first Taylor show guys! Were so excited! Anyone going to the 15th show?

[sullen lantern]

I am!

It’s my first as well

[wild comet]

samee

[lusty crater]

@bronze tide I’ll DM you!

[next musk]

We are looking to carpool from st pete, right across the bridge, and are willing to pay if anyone wants to help

[indigo jackal]

im going to the 15th! What section are you in

what section and date are all of yall in

[next musk]

Lower 147!

[sullen lantern]

Omg!! I just bought my tix this morn 😭😭

[lusty crater]

Out of interest, what section and how much? If you don’t mind me asking? Trying to find out a fair price to sell at

[sullen lantern]

330 row b

1800 for 2 tix

so like 900 each

[lusty crater]

Ooo okay, thanks!

[sullen lantern]

Man I wish you sent something sooner haah

Those tix much better than mine

[lusty crater]

I only just learned about this server 😭

[sullen lantern]

That’s so unlucky for me 😭😭

Wait I was wrong

It’s 310 row b

a bit better view

[lusty crater]

Ah, okay. I’m shooting for like $1300 per but am willing to negotiate.

[sullen lantern]

I’m sure you’ll find someone in no time

[lusty crater]

I hope so

[sweet crescent]

Has anyone posted what section N row 7 looks like? Thats what I have and im on the shorter side so im afraid i wont be able to see much with a tall person in front of me and the stage not being too tall lol

[vague forum]

Hey I’m going the 15th does anyone know if we are able to bring cameras or is that a no?

[finite cedar]

Check out the guidelines on the website!

[vague forum]

Alr I will

[sonic glade]

I think you can but you can’t bring a case for it or have too large of a camera

[vague forum]

So like a canon rebel r7

[waxen niche]

weird angle but this is what I got

there wasn't 7, best I could do was 6

[stable terrace]

hiii!!!

[finite cedar]

If a canon rebel r7 fits in these guidelines

[vague forum]

Oohhh yea it does

[stable terrace]

what date are you guys going?

[finite cedar]

13th and 15th!

[stable terrace]

how did ppl manage to get tickets to multiple days whaatt

i got lucky as heck with my date

especially to somehow end up with floor seats

im 14th

[indigo jackal]

not balls being prohibited in a football stadium

[wild comet]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[vague forum]

15th

Damnnnn

[sweet crescent]

What time do you guys think its wise to start heading out to the stadium? Im sure traffic is gonna be wild

[next musk]

From what I hear, merch trucks are opening at noon at most stadiums... I'm not sure. But I have this question too.

[errant prawn]

I'm not sure if this will help anyone, but I saw someone mention that if you search for "toddler purses" on amazon, and other places they're roughly around the right size for the bag policy! Also, I went back and looked at insta photos from the football games, and most of the people with bags have straps. I was kinda worried they were going to take "clutch" too seriously.

[finite cedar]

This does confuse me because parking doesn’t open until 3

[next musk]

I'm truly not 100 percent. I've only heard from a few swifties, that their stadiums had merch trucks open at 12.
I THINK the vips enter stadium at 3

[outer hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/quby-high-five-wave-pentol-qubysani-gif-19935273

[bronze tide]

guys if anyone knows someone/has 2 tickets for tampa 4/15 (below 600) please dm

[unborn citrus]

Depending on how far of a drive it is for you. It’s a good 2 hours for me so I’m leaving at 12pm but be prepared for serious amounts of traffic

[errant prawn]

I just asked the stadium about fanny packs and backpacks, since I'm still figuring out my bag, and I thought I would share this 🙂 Also, their live chat is great!

[finite cedar]

I don’t think a 4.5x6.5 backpack exists in the world sadly 😭

[sturdy shoal]

yeah, me too…

[finite cedar]

My WALLET is 4x6, for perspective lmao

[sturdy shoal]

even transparent bag maximum is 4.5×6.5? 😢

[finite cedar]

Raymond James has a NO bag policy — it doesn’t have to be clear, it just has to be wallet-sized

[errant prawn]

I was thinking a toddler backpack potentially🤷‍♀️

and somehow change the straps.

I've been seeing a few people on tiktok mention that toddler purses typically fit the size requirement.

[brazen forge]

Wait what? Parking is pre-pay??

[brazen forge]

Seeing that ticket price makes me not feel so bad about what I just paid for a hotel for the weekend

[errant prawn]

also for anyone with smaller meds that would fit in the bag size, you don't need to fill out the ADA form

[sturdy shoal]

Ok...I have to buy a very small bag…!

[unborn citrus]

as long as it fits the size reqs it should be fine

Where is everyone parking? I’m scared I’ll be stuck for 2 hours if I pick the wrong spot

[sullen lantern]

^^!!

[pale rapids]

I bought prepaid parking on the stadiums website

[sweet crescent]

I just saw the parking prices and its $54 to park at the stadium😐 does anyone know if theres anything else cheaper? I dont mind walking

[finite cedar]

You could probably park at the airport or hospital and walk

[brazen forge]

If you find anything drop the link, every one my fiance has found is like .5" too big

[finite cedar]

I can only find things that small on the Claire’s website 😭

[brazen forge]

Everything we have found within the allowed size is also too small to even fit an iphone 😅

[waxen niche]

as someone who lives right next to the stadium, please do not park in any plaza type parking lots, so like where the chickfila is accross from the baseball stadium, because i promise you, you will not be able to leave, especially during this

[grand mauve]

🙏

You’re a life saver because I was thinking of parking at chick fil a and unerring over 💀

ubering*

[grand mauve]

TAMPA INTERNATIONAL? HELLO

THAT IS NOWHERE NEAR RAYMOND JAMES

[finite cedar]

Yes it is?? AHAHAHA

It’d be maybe a 20min walk

[errant prawn]

does anyone know if the traffic leaving the stadium/getting there is better if you're coming from st.petersberg/clearwater?

[finite cedar]

I don’t see how it would be, the traffic is gonna be bad anywhere around the stadium

[unborn citrus]

The traffic is always bad so just come as early as possible

[errant prawn]

I just didn't know if it would be better since you wouldn't be heading into the heart of tampa vs away from tampa

[finite cedar]

The worst of the traffic after the show will just be trying to get out of the parking lot

[waxen niche]

I'm kinda lucky, I'm like a 5 minute walk away lol

[copper steeple]

hey!!

[finite cedar]

Hi!

[sullen lantern]

must be niceeee

how early is everyone getting there?

[finite cedar]

Probably like noon tbh 😭

[vague forum]

Noon

They allowed a canon rebel t7 to be brought into the stadium!!!!

[brazen forge]

Noon for merch?

[finite cedar]

On show day, if they do early merch I’ll probably get there at like 8:30am 😞😭

I refuse to wait 7+ hours for merch

[brazen forge]

Yikes

I'm wondering if it would be possible to get merch on one of the other show days so we wouldn't have to stand around for literally 12 hours

[finite cedar]

The issue with Glendale is that the more popular merch sold out the first day

[brazen forge]

Ah so they don't hold stock for subsequent days

[stable terrace]

yay

[indigo jackal]

do yall think gayle's set will continue being 15 min?

oh wait she literally has like 6 songs

so yes

[stable terrace]

im kinda hoping beabadoobee's set is longer than gracie's 0.0

[indigo jackal]

me too

gracie can have like

1 minute ig

bea is better

[finite cedar]

This feels like an absolute disaster waiting to happen

Like… horrific

[west saddle]

idek…

this is not even my show but i thought i would share

[finite cedar]

😭😭😭

People are gonna end up trampled with the crowds inside the stadium plz

[west saddle]

righttt

[finite cedar]

Maybe I actually don’t need merch tbh lmaooo

[copper steeple]

hoping for the opposite 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 gracie slays

[copper steeple]

she’s ok. gracie is miles better

[stable terrace]

shes good i guess but her music too eh for me

i guess we will see

[grand mauve]

Y’all lucky getting there so early

I’m driving from Orlando to meet up with my BF and then going from him to the stadium 😭

At like 5

I would take school off and do the thing early but our coordination and everything wouldn’t work

[indigo jackal]

miles worsr

[stable terrace]

my bf is coming the day after the concert 😀

mans is not smart

so my bestie is coming to the concert with me

[grand mauve]

damn

[meager inlet]

Hey guys, i’m trying to find a group on twit/disc to try to get tickets for tampa, if anyone knows anything that would be so appreciated!

[errant prawn]

Oh no 😅 I wonder if they’ll be able to do it since the truck me there the day before since there won’t be any entrance to the stadium

[sullen lantern]

is the merch she’s selling at the concerts the same in her shop via ig?

or is there more at the concert

[finite cedar]

There’s tour exclusive merch

[grand mauve]

Who else gonna buy the tapestry, black tour date hoodie and black tour date shirt

I’m also probably gonna get the white eras tour hoodie online

I really like the design

With all the pictures from over the years

What section y’all in tho!

[stable terrace]

whats the tour exclusive merch?

[sullen lantern]

I’m going on the third day, there’s no way everything will be in stock by then 😭😭

and I live way too far to go Thursday for just merch

[waxen niche]

if I don't end up getting the merch I want, I'll just order it online after

[errant prawn]

They said Monday they'll know about the potential of merch being sold the day before outside of the stadium.

that's super big, I'm sorry! I don't know how to make it smaller

[grand mauve]

i saw a tiktok and it said raymond james wont allow the merch truck to come

[finite cedar]

Oh interesting!

[waxen niche]

raymond james is a big L

[errant prawn]

I think they're selling merch inside because they're selling bags, water bottles, and a light baton and those items are against their policy, but I think Vegas had merch trucks there the day before the concert. I'm hoping they'll allow the merch truck there the day before since there won't be any entry to the stadium. With a 4:30 entry, merch is going to be insane.

[waxen niche]

if that ends up happening I'll go during all too well and people are gonna be so mad at me for saying this 💀

I saw a tiktok where someone went during all too well and there was no line

[errant prawn]

I'm dying right now. I don't wanna miss it, but it's also not a bad idea

[sweet crescent]

I think all too well being 10 mins gives u enough time to get merch. I personally dont wanna do that cuz i wanna spend every second admiring taylor but i dont blame people for doing so either lol. All too well 10 mins is way toooooo long. She coulda fit in like 3 more songs had she not had that on her setlist. Like maroon and out of the woods for example😢

[errant prawn]

I'm happy she's doing the 10 minute version but I totally get what you mean! I wish YOYOK was on the set list, but I'm hoping that it'll be a bonus song, and selfishly I hope it's in Tampa.

[stable terrace]

a

[brazen forge]

Is there even an "official" means of getting concert day information other than us having to basically DM the venues? I have seen basically no info about merch and other FAQ aside from here and people on TikTok.

Ex: I didn't even know about pre-pay parking for Tampa until somebody on here mentioned it

[brazen forge]

Unpopular opinion: That's gonna be my bathroom break.

Sorry y'all, but the whole 3 hours thing

[finite cedar]

The stadium website

[brazen forge]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-ok-coolstorybro-gif-20977126

oops

[sweet crescent]

Does anyone know what time theyre gonna start selling merch? I keep seeing mixed comments of people saying they wont let people buy merch until after theyre inside the venue and others saying the trucks will be outside. Has anyone dmd the venue about this and have gotten an official answer? Just trying to get an idea as to what time I should get there since i do wanna buy merch

[finite cedar]

People have asked the venue and it seems like they’re giving different answers every time

[errant prawn]

I'm not sure, I know there's the era's tour website but it mostly redirects you to the stadium. I think messaging the stadium like we've been doing is the best course of action, which kinda sucks since we shouldn't have to keep asking the stadium.

I don't really use tiktok, but since the tour started I've been going on to see videos/live streams and when I typed in Tampa era's tour there, that's where I learned a bunch. Without that and discord I wouldn't know half of the stuff I know.

[errant prawn]

I messaged the stadium the other day and they said that the merch will be sold in the stadium during the concert, and they don't know whether the truck will be allowed the day before the concert, since there won't be any stadium entry. They told me to check back Monday, so I'm curious to see what they say

[sweet crescent]

Honestly, after reading about resellers who are literally buying boxes of merch and who dont even have tickets to the concert, i think I prefer them selling the merch inside the actual venue. Its not fair for the fans and for the people who went through hell and back to get tickets to then have to deal with the merch chaos.

[sullen lantern]

agreed ^^

[errant prawn]

The only thing I hate about the merch being sold inside, is that doors open at 4:30, so I think the lines will be crazier. I wish they required proof of having a ticket to buy merch from the trucks, I feel like that would have been a solid move.

[finite cedar]

The issue is that whenever anyone suggests this people throw a tantrum and say it’s unfair to people who didn’t get tickets 😭

[errant prawn]

I can see where people are coming from but also it's not fair that the people who are attending the concert can't buy tour exclusive merch. It's weird because at what point does someone just say that they should just put it online, since the people going to the tour can't get it. It just sucks overall.

[fast rock]

going the 15th🫶🏼🫶🏼

[finite cedar]

Me tooo!!

[fast rock]

too excited, i hope u have sm fun! what section r u?

[finite cedar]

Floor section J!! Hbu??

And I hope you have the best time ever!!

[fast rock]

[sweet crescent]

Im going the 14th and soooo excited🥺 first taylor concert 😍

[fast rock]

awh i hope u have sm fun!!

[sweet crescent]

Thanks! You too!!

[finite cedar]

Ahhhh I’m sure you’ll still have a great view!! It lowk will prob be better than mine lmfaoo

[fast rock]

considering how the stage visuals contribute sm to the show i think my view will be pretty good but it cant compare to the experience of being on the floor!!

[finite cedar]

I’m just short LOL so I’m nervous about being able to see her, but I am super grateful for my tickets!!! Presale was a bitch 😭

[sweet crescent]

Im on section N Row 7 on the floor and in so afraid to not see im short haha

[brazen forge]

Sec B here. I'm nervous about being on the "backside" of the diamond

[finite cedar]

I’m at the end of the catwalk and I’m scared I won’t be able to see half the stage

[errant prawn]

Maybe they’re going to be able to do something similar for Tampa. It seems like there’s a lot of merch spots edit: This is from the official Taylor Nation broadcast channel on insta

[grand mauve]

lucky ahhh

I got lower bowl club seats

so excited

[fast rock]

rjs released a statement that said theyd have some merch trailers outside

so glad theyll have a lot of opportunities to get merch bc i want the blue crewneck so bad!!

[errant prawn]

oh shit. that's awesome, thank you!

I feel like i'm in the minority here, but I'm dying for the black hoodie.

[fast rock]

this one?

[errant prawn]

The crewneck is so cute! I love that it seems like the tour exclusive merch are on the darker side

[fast rock]

i luv the simplicity of the crewneck i need to have it

[errant prawn]

let me find the pic real fast

[fast rock]

alr

[errant prawn]

@fast rock it's the hoodie on the bottom left

I forgot, I also want to get the poster, but i think that's on her website after. I'll probably get it there just to be safe

[grand mauve]

black t shirt, crewneck if I can get it, black tour hoodie and tapestry

[finite cedar]

From the official RJ stadium tik tok!

[grand mauve]

I just bought the cutest custom merch

[next musk]

Helpful!

[sweet crescent]

Thats exactly the one i want too! Glad im not the only one lol. Any word on the fade on the hoodies though? I heard the tshirts get faded after one wash. Not sure if its the same for hoodies😬 i really hope not cuz $75 is pretty steep for a hoodie lol

[sweet crescent]

Thanks for that info! What time do you all think is a good time to get there if you wanna buy merch? It looks like they start selling at 3:00. Im personally thinking of getting there at around 1:00 but not sure if thats too early lol.

[finite cedar]

The parking lot doesn’t open until 3 😭😭😭

[sweet crescent]

Oh shoot that sucks

Well im sure if we get there at exactly 3:00 we should all have a pretty good chance of getting what we want. Crossing fingers

[fast rock]

oohhhh that one! that ones defo one of my top 5 merch items from tour imo

[fast rock]

people are saying if you iron the ink (with either parchment or wax paper, im not sure) before u wash then do all the other wash precautions you should be good!

[worthy dirge]

hi 🩷

so, the policy is that no bags at all are allowed?

[finite cedar]

They have to be smaller than 6.5 inches x 4 inches

[finite cedar]

Is anybody else planning on camping for merch 🥲

Me and my bestie are considering it but with how the city is and the fact we’d be alone we’re a little apprehensive

[finite cedar]

I knowww but people have been showing up so early to the other cities that I’m starting to think it’s either that or don’t get merch 😭😭😭 LMAO

I’ve been stuck downtown completely alone in the middle of the night with all my expensive shit 😭😭😭 I think I have an invincibility complex now tbh AHAHA

Yeah

OMG 😭😭 omg that sucks ass

I lowkey think we wouldn’t be the only ppl there though like I’m kinda expecting other ppl to camp

I think I’d kms honestly omg 😭

👀👀👀

That would b helpful LMAOO

My vip era 🤩

LMAOO

Omg yasssss

I’m in the Orlando area!!! But my bestie lives in tampa so I’m there all the time lmfaooo

Oh sweet

I’m on the complete opposite side LMFAO

I’m closer to universal I think

Tru

LMAOO

We should trade bracelets Saturday 👀

I’m tryna get tickets to Thursday too but yknow how it is 😭😭

😭😭😭 plss

Thankful my classes are all online 🙏

[grand mauve]

BFFR you said camp for merch 💀

Like more power to you but that’s doing too much you’ll get the merch either way 😭

Those blue crew necks are gonna be gone no matter how early you show

Plus they’re kinda basic and fade out once you wash them

[finite cedar]

Girl I would but they aren’t online LMAOO

[finite cedar]

You say this but people are showing up at 10am to half the shit sold out by the time they get to the front so that’s simply not true 😭

Trust me babe it’s not exactly smth I wanna be doing lmao

[finite cedar]

The blue crewneck and the grey zip-up and a couple other misc things!

Probably the poster and tote bag

[sullen lantern]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRck9rJS/

I hope this fixes it xd

[grand mauve]

blue crewneck is completely sold out

[finite cedar]

It restocks at every city lmao

[grand mauve]

i dont think so

[errant prawn]

oh no, I was planning on getting to Tampa around then and then getting in line for merch 😅

[finite cedar]

Wdym you don’t think so that’s literally how it works lmao

It sells out every weekend and then is restocked for the following city 😭

[grand mauve]

how early are you getting there

honestly even being at the front of the merch truck line

[finite cedar]

What day is your show? I could probably grab stuff for you!

[finite cedar]

Probably the night before early merch 😭

[grand mauve]

damnnnn

what nights are you going?

[finite cedar]

Just Friday rn but I’m hoping to find tickets for Saturday!

[grand mauve]

omfg me too!

but like I've seen TTs of people saying they got in the early merch truck line at 4:30 AM

and the blue crewneck was already sold out

once they got to the thing

[finite cedar]

The issue was that resellers would get in line first and buy a ton

But Raymond James has said they’re limiting purchases to two per item!

[patent merlin]

Those crewnecks be hot in the market.

[grand mauve]

you should get me one 😩

[sweet crescent]

So are they not allowing people who buy merch outside inside the stadium? So youd have to walk back to ur car to leave the merch there and then walk back to the stadium? If thats the case thats insane.

[grand mauve]

if you're in there early enough and they are in stock I'll lowkey like actually venmo you the $$$ and we can meet up, I won't be there till the openers start though most likely

[finite cedar]

I’ll see if I can!! The merch limits do make it hard to buy for other ppl 😭😭

[patent merlin]

I wonder if the people going on Thursday have an advantage. 🐋

[errant prawn]

oh my god, that's so incredibly kind!! Thank you so much 🙂 I think we're just going to leave earlier than planned, hopefully the traffic wont be too bad heading to Tampa 🙂

[errant prawn]

I'm going to the show that day, they hopefully wont sell out of the merch for the other nights

[finite cedar]

I think they’re supposed the have a certain amount allocated for each day, but in reality they probably do

[finite cedar]

Wishing you luck!!!

[patent merlin]

Me too! But hey, anything can happen, especially with all the chaos. 🤪

[grand mauve]

do you have plans to buy more than 1 crewneck?

[finite cedar]

I might end up buying one for my bestie and the limit is 2 😭

[errant prawn]

true! I wonder if they'd change the whole no re-entry policy because of the merch

[grand mauve]

oh okay ur all good!

[patent merlin]

Yeah, that makes sense! I remember the merch lines being surprisingly small after the “reputation” concert. Though, that was back in 2018. 😅

[patent merlin]

They’ll probably make us hold everything. Leaving the stadium creates too many loopholes. 🫠

[errant prawn]

I think they're also going to want us to use the lockers, and it may be the cynic in me, but I think they're going to charge $ to use them.

On the bright side, we kinda have a better shot at getting merch the days of the concert

[patent merlin]

That’s true! And having lockers is better than walking all the way back to your car to put everything away.

[finite cedar]

The lockers always cost money!

[pure marlin]

Btw merch is almost always inside the stadium

[finite cedar]

They never sell the sweatshirt I want inside ):

[pure marlin]

I’d at least try. It’s probably going to sell out in the merch truck

[finite cedar]

I mean I’d rather get to the merch truck early and have a chance of getting it than go inside where they don’t even sell it lmfao

[pure marlin]

I’m pretty sure they sell all of the merch inside

[finite cedar]

I’m gonna be buying the tote bag at a merch stand inside since they won’t be selling it outside

They haven’t had the blue crewneck inside at the last two cities at least

[teal horizon]

Next show is mine since she's not doing this weekend

Hyped

[sweet crescent]

So which surprise songs do you yall predict for our tampa shows?😍

[finite cedar]

Praying for Back to December on the 15th 🙏

[teal horizon]

I'm hoping for Mr. Perfectly Fine on the 13th

[patent merlin]

Crossing my fingers for “I Wish You Would” on the 13th! 😩

[patent merlin]

For those going on the 13th, what section and row are you sitting in? 😌

[teal horizon]

Section 108 row A

[west horizon]

from twitter: the tampa VIP poster

[finite cedar]

Oh I really like that one

[grand mauve]

Her vip bundle isn’t even worth it

I’ve seen the bundle all the items are worth $60 tops 😭

[finite cedar]

I mean I agree

I just said I like the poster???

my friend bailed last minute and i now have to go to the show on 4/13 by myself and i’m a little anxious about it. has anyone gone to a concert alone or anything??

[west horizon]

bestie i've gone to almost all my shows the past 4 years solo it's an amazing time

hell the first time i saw taylor i was alone

it's weird at first but once you get grooving you don't even realize you're alone

like i talk with people in the merch line or maybe around me pre-show

[grand mauve]

No no wasn’t commenting on that just sidetracking about her bundle

I feel like her merch team didn’t do the best job this year for the vip bundle

[native gate]

UGH thank you! that makes me feel so much better

[west horizon]

legit it's so so much fun going solo

for me it's even easier cause getting one ticket is much easier than getting two

[silent plaza]

that’s why i’m going by myself lol

i’m trying not the think abt the fact i’ll be alone and when the time comes just try to enjoy myself!

[native gate]

i have two, they were SO hard to get and i waited in the queue for HOURS but now i have an extra ticket and not really sure what to do with it lol

[native gate]

what show are you going to?

[silent plaza]

4/14!

you could try selling it through one of the resellers on twt and facebook. there are a lot of people who unfortunately still don’t have anything:/

i was just really lucky to get the production hold tickets from today

[native gate]

so lucky! i originally tried to get the weekend show but ended up getting a code for thursday, i’ll take what i can get

i am terrified of getting scammed tbh but i’ll try!

OMG YES!! congrats!

[grand mauve]

it's okay we can all sing our hearts out together

[west horizon]

exactly that's the perfect way to describe it

you might be going solo but you aren't alone

[grand mauve]

i'm going with my boyfriend so i will be bawling, screaming, singing, kissing, all of the above

I'm planning to prompose to him there too 😛

[native gate]

OMG prompose?? that’s so cute!!!

[patent merlin]

Sadly, I won’t be able to make bracelets due to my busy schedule this week and before the concert, but we could take pictures if you like! 😁

[finite cedar]

I’d still love to give you a bracelet!!

[patent merlin]

I’m going alone, too! It’s not as bad as you might think! I’ll be dancing the night away and having the time of my life! 💃🏼

[patent merlin]

You’re so sweet! I’ll happily take a bracelet!

[finite cedar]

Yay!!!

[silent plaza]

omg i just realized i could trade friendship bracelets now

i think i wanna make a couple so if anyone wants to trade lmk!!:)

[silent plaza]

i think i’m mostly just scared of other ppl judging me but i hope that at some point during the show i’ll just forget abt it n have fun lol

i’ve seen too many tiktoks of ppl saying how rude other ppl in their section were

[patent merlin]

“People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.” One of my favorite quotes from Taylor Swift! I’m paying to have a memorable time, not to worry about rude and negative comments! Just be yourself and enjoy!

[grand mauve]

YESS

I think im@gonna get a ring box

And during love story

It’ll look like a proposal but it’ll have a tiny note in it asking him to prom

[finite cedar]

Good luck!

[grand mauve]

I won olivia rodrigo pit tix from a radio station in my home town

it was so surreal

and it was the day before the show

😭

[pure marlin]

I hope she sings I Know Places on the 13th

[grand mauve]

I want Sweet Nothings on the 14th

Gracie stole Clean from me

[indigo jackal]

yall she's gonna sing breathe and you are in love on the 13th and she's also gonna announce speak now tv just for me ❤️❤️❤️

[grand mauve]

LOL

[echo ferry]

My friend couldn't go again😭, who is interested in going together? Meanwhile I have an extra ticket for sale 4/14. You can always dm me

[teal horizon]

I’m going on the 13th, I would love You Are In Love tbh

[rocky sleet]

hi! im super interested

i dmed you

[pure marlin]

NO I KNOW PLACES😭😭😭😭

Imma go ahead and message dr swift and ask her to sing I know places or dear reader (for my mom)💀💀💀💀

[finite cedar]

I’m personally praying for sparks fly, back to December, or right where you left me 🙏

[pure marlin]

Right where you left me yesssss

I just want a 1989 song period lol

[finite cedar]

I’d love to hear you are in love

Maybe with daylight or smth

[uncut venture]

I'm not going to the Tampa show but I'm going to the Cinci show alone! I've been to 2 concerts alone. No one really cares

You could probably try selling it on Stubhub

[native gate]

YES SAME

[native gate]

i sold it for fv, from someone i found on twitter LMAO

[echo ferry]

Reply your message @rocky sleet

[carmine totem]

idk if this is the place but does anyone have 4 eras tickets for Tampa 😭 I'm planning to go with my family because I can't go alone but each ticket is like 600+

also if anyone has tips on how to get them for cheaper+ websites to buy that would be great🫶🏼🫶🏼

[sullen lantern]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRcXdnYw/

so upset I never got verified. I spent $1800 on 2 tickets for 310 seats… while they are now selling floor seats for less than $400 😭😭😭😭

if you’re verified

[finite cedar]

People who were waitlisted were also sent codes for the sale yesterday!

It was a random mix of people who signed up

[sullen lantern]

wow 😭😭

even if I could get verified and get tix, I wouldn’t find anyone willing to pay what I did for 310

[finite cedar]

I’m so sorry you fell victim to resale 😭

I had gotten so used to the resale prices that I was shocked at how cheap everything was when I got in yesterday LMAO

[sullen lantern]

Yeah I am NOT OKAY 😂😭

Are you still able to buy tix?

[finite cedar]

I think I can technically still enter the sale but they’re all sold out

The sale was yesterday morning

[sullen lantern]

😭😭

[finite cedar]

But!!! I think for Vegas Ticketmaster sporadically released small amounts of tickets the week before the concert after their final sale

So I’d keep an eye out for those!

[sullen lantern]

Okay thanks!

If anyone is selling 2 floor tix for CHEAP I’m genuinely interested

or the actual price

Lol

[finite cedar]

Plz beware of scammers 🙏 there was a scammer up in this thread earlier

[sullen lantern]

omg

There’s a bunch of people w tix under the tiktok I sent but they seem sketch

Why can’t Taylor just make her own website and sell her tickets 😭😭

[finite cedar]

They’re all scammers LMFAO they always use the same dialogue

[finite cedar]

Ticketmaster has deals with the venues 😞

[sullen lantern]

she can afford to lose the deals for us come on 😭😭

if u by miracle find anyone plssss dm me

[finite cedar]

Naur I mean that those venues legally can’t sell through anyone except Ticketmaster

They’re under contract

[sullen lantern]

Oh right

so sad

[finite cedar]

It’s literally so annoying LMFAO

But I’ll ping you if I notice Ticketmaster drops more tix!!

[sullen lantern]

I’m not verified I won’t be able to get themm

nor do I see any waitlist sort of things

[finite cedar]

No, these tickets would be available for everybody!

That’s how it worked for Vegas

[sullen lantern]

ok! Thank you so much

[finite cedar]

You go onto Ticketmaster and buy them LOL

That’s assuming they do drop more

[carmine totem]

can you ping me as well when they do if it's not a bother?

[finite cedar]

Ofc!! Although I do need to emphasize it’s very much an if and not a when LOL

I’m just basing this off of what happened in Vegas

[carmine totem]

oh okay!

[grand mauve]

so funny

I wish I could get floor for $400

[finite cedar]

Keep checking Ticketmaster!

That’s what floor was face value

[sullen lantern]

Literally praying 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[indigo jackal]

did any of yall who got vip get ur packages yet?

[patent merlin]

I purchased my ticket from a reseller, so I think the package is going to them. 🥶

[indigo jackal]

yeah that's how that works

[finite cedar]

The lines open were for people who got new codes sent out yesterday morning

It won’t let anybody in who wasn’t sent a new code + they’re all sold out now LMAO

That’s why it was giving you error messages

You weren’t verified for the sale

[grand mauve]

oop

[grand mauve]

the flop VIP box

[indigo jackal]

it's so good

don't @ me with that shite

[finite cedar]

I love the vip poster for Tampa

I’m not even gonna lie

[indigo jackal]

do yallz know what the dimensions of the poster is?

i wanna frame them

[grand mauve]

a tote bag and some posters is not worth the $200-400 bonus you pay for VIP 😭

[finite cedar]

It’s literally not your money

The $65 crewneck that costs $5 to produce isn’t worth it either but nobody says shit abt that 😭

[grand mauve]

that's true but the VIP box is complete doodoo compared to the previous shows

there's been a good bit of disappointment

merch is more understandable in that case tho

[finite cedar]

The VIP box is almost identical to all the VIP boxes before rep

It just doesn’t come in an interesting box 😭

[grand mauve]

250 😵‍💫

[stable terrace]

did u sell the xtra ticket?

[grand mauve]

that is a scammer b

[stable terrace]

oh damn

[errant prawn]

has anyone been able to get tampa tickets through ticketmaster tonight since they're allowing anyone in now? it's saying that no seats are available, but i'm curious if there were any seats made available to those without verified.

[finite cedar]

I don’t know if any tickets were actually released, but it seems like they’re preparing to release some!

[errant prawn]

I keep refreshing the page, because sometimes it puts you in a queue or directs you to the screen where they said they have no tickets. I'm worried that I'm going to miss it again

I also don't know when they normally release tickets

[finite cedar]

I think they released them randomly in the days leading up to the Vegas shows

It’ll probably be the same for us

[errant prawn]

I don't want to stay up, but... I might. I have floor seats but earlier I saw someone say they got floor seats within the first 6 or so rows, for the night I'm going.

I wanna go to night 2 but I don't think ticket wise that's going to happen

[finite cedar]

I don’t think they’ll drop any tonight, if it’s any consolation

[errant prawn]

As much as I hope they will, you're probably right.

[finite cedar]

I’d keep an eye out in the days closer to the first night!

[south lance]

Did they do all 3 nights at once in the previous cities?

For TM general sale randomly dropped tickets

[errant prawn]

I will 🙂 I'm hoping to get closer to the stage for my show, I'm really happy with my seats either way but it would be really cool to be closer, or for the 14th 🙂

[finite cedar]

I think it was random, sometimes it was tickets for both nights and sometimes just one

[south lance]

The mystery continues lololol

Thanks!

[finite cedar]

I’m lowkey looking out for a ticket for the 14th too LOL wishing you luck!

[errant prawn]

you too!!

[indigo jackal]

The red tour vip box is probably the best one

[finite cedar]

This better clear up istg

[errant prawn]

oh god no

not to mention ponchos would be so freaking hot to wear

[finite cedar]

I’m so terrified of it storming

[errant prawn]

hopefully if it does end up raining, it's just regular rain and not thunder storms, because they would have to cancel i think.

Florida weather is always so funky though

i mean one minute there's a massive downpour then it's super sunny

[finite cedar]

I don’t want it to rain period 😭 I don’t want the air to be soggy and everything to be wet

[errant prawn]

it would make everything 10x worse. the heat would be brutal

oh god and the merch lines 😭

[finite cedar]

My hair would be a disaster 😭

[errant prawn]

Florida is so annoying

plus we're the first open stadium on the tour

[finite cedar]

And the confetti and stuff would get all wet LMAO

[primal knoll]

Been working on my costume tonight.

Also, I’m kinda manifesting for a rain show but I’m also not wanting thunderstorms.

[errant prawn]

the rep rain show in philly looked kinda fun, especially because of how much she said she likes rain shows, but rain in florida mixed with a massive crowd seems wild

[finite cedar]

Pls stop manifesting that’s my absolute worst nightmare

The chances of it raining but not thunderstorming are near 0

[errant prawn]

I also genuinely also don't want my look to be ruined

[finite cedar]

It’s almost a guaranteed cancelled show if it rains tbh

It’d be too dangerous to perform with lightning

[errant prawn]

I think they mean like a regular rain show (i hope)

[finite cedar]

Yeah but we don’t have regular rain here 😭

[errant prawn]

thunderstorm definitely, rain without lightning for thunder they'd probably keep it going

[finite cedar]

It’s thunderstorms or nothing like 99% of the time

[errant prawn]

true, I'm in south florida, and we get a mix, but lately(ish) it's just been heavy rain and grey skies

[finite cedar]

One week swifties how are we feeling??

[grand mauve]

Great

[indigo jackal]

suddenly I want closure to be the secret song

[patent merlin]

Same. If it says a 1% chance of thunderstorms, we’re getting it. 😂

[sweet crescent]

What would a cancelled show mean in terms of rescheduling? That sounds like a nightmare.

[serene steeple]

I can’t bring a backpack ??

[west horizon]

nope tampa is the most strict venue out of all the venues for eras

can only bring in a lil clutch like that

thats it

[serene steeple]

Damn

[west horizon]

its brutal

[finite cedar]

The show probably wouldn’t happen until the end of the year 😭

[sweet crescent]

Omg i would die if that happens. The chances of a cancellation are pretty high if it rains cuz as someone said earlier, theres no way it rains without thunderstorms in Florida. I will be devastated if it gets cancelled 😭

[west horizon]

well just pray bestie

the way it goes for outdoors shows is

rain is okay

boom boom is doom doom

you do not want the boom boom

[finite cedar]

The weather is looking fine for now

A few scattered showers in the days before/early morning of but the radar is clear on show days rn

We’re not really in rainy season yet here so my hopes are still high

[errant prawn]

I was looking at the estimated times for the rain, and it doesn't seem like an all day thing. Which is really good 🙂

[west horizon]

if it makes yall feel better when i went for my rep tour show i remember the forecast leading up was like thunderstorms etc

but it never came

it rained on/off but

no boom boom

[azure herald]

is there any one in section 314 on april 14??

[patent merlin]

I’m in section H.

[sullen lantern]

section 310 april 15

[finite cedar]

Section 148 on Thursday and Section J on Saturday!!

If anyone is gonna be there either of those dates you should dm me so I can make you a personalized bracelet!!

[stable terrace]

im sec B on 4/14

[tribal horizon]

312 on 4/13

So I’m goin on the 13th (iconic Day obv) I’m taking my cousin whose turning 15 and it’s the 8th show on the tour (8 is my fav number)

[finite cedar]

Hi friends!! If anyone is gonna be there Wednesday for early merch I’ll be there pretty early making and handing out friendship bracelets!!

[earnest tulip]

wow

[tribal horizon]

What time do y’all think is a good time to show up Wednesday

[finite cedar]

It depends on what you’re trying to get I think

[tribal horizon]

Like 3 shirts

[finite cedar]

If you aren’t trying to get the crewneck or anything you’d probably be fine showing up when it opens/a little after

[tribal horizon]

I’m just tryna get a shirt for me, my cousin (who doesn’t know she’s going for her 15th bday) and my sister who couldn’t go because she works (and she lives in boca raton)

[finite cedar]

Well… it’s now supposed to rain for the entirety of the show Thursday and for hours before

I’m contemplating selling my tickets tbh 😭 that sounds absolutely miserable

[west horizon]

that's why you stock up on ponchos and enjoy the rain

if it rains it almost confirms a rain song as a secret song

[finite cedar]

I have never once enjoyed rain in my life LMAO

Being wet is my worst nightmare tbh

[west horizon]

fair enough

granted i can't be talking

[tribal horizon]

It’s Tampa weather

[west horizon]

the night i saw her it was like on/off rain

and the night before was like

[tribal horizon]

U can’t trust the weather app

[west horizon]

nonstop torrential downpours

but some of the pics from that night were crazy

[tribal horizon]

Unless there is a hurricane on the way nothing is guaranteed

[finite cedar]

I’m not close enough Thursday to even be able to see her like that tbh LMAO

And I’m just worried because it’s supposed to rain for hours beforehand so I’d already be drenched before she even comes on stage

[west horizon]

you can also say you saw the first rain show of the eras tour

[finite cedar]

It’d be a little different if it was supposed to start raining after she starts

[west horizon]

again though weather can be very unpredictable i've had times where they said thunderstorms etc and then it was just rain

no boom

[tribal horizon]

It’s Tampa weather. Nothing is a guarantee with the weather app. I’ve seen it say 75% chance of thunderstorms all day and it’ll be a little overcast and really nice

[finite cedar]

I knowwww I’m in Orlando and it’s the same way it’s just worrying

😭😭😭

[tribal horizon]

It’s def offsetting but I wouldn’t stress it

[finite cedar]

Yeah, I’ll wait and see how it changes

If anything I just hope it rains earlier in the day instead

[tribal horizon]

It probably will

Probably like a 3-4 pm shower and that’s all

[grand mauve]

https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-collection/products/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-poncho

might need this LOL

[tribal horizon]

I have a couple tickets for the 13th show I need to get rid of

Yes

Tbh what can u afford

I just need to get rid of them

Im one of the rare straight male swifties actually lmao

Ikr

But yea that’s a little low for me sorry..

450 plus fees a piece (stub hub price)

This is me and my ex at the midnight release 3 days before she left me for her best friend

We dated 3 years too

Took her to centennial park

Oh I’m still goin. Just found better seats

Taking my cousin for her 15th

Yup

I’m goin to the concert on the 13th for my cousins 15th and it’s the 8th concert on the tour (8 is my fav number)

OH BTW

MY EX IS WORKING T SHIRT SALES AT THE TAMPA CONCERT

Her name is mariah

That’s all imma say

That’s dope asf

She’s working the entire weekend so I’m buying the shirt early so I don’t have to see her

I have the extra tickets and u can buy them if u want. I’m selling them at a loss but idc tbh

327 row F

Goin on stub hub for that section is like 540 last I checked

yeaaaa

Ok

No

Np*

[patent merlin]

LOL! ME TOO!

[tribal horizon]

Eyyyyyy

Let’s say that girl in the photo is y I can a cappella ATW10 and revised lyrics for her

[errant prawn]

I really hope the weather changes for thursday 😅

although, it would be kinda funny that the first rain show is also on the 13th

[tribal horizon]

The weather will change 10 more times between now and Thursday

[errant prawn]

true

[tribal horizon]

Like I said earlier. The only time weather is guaranteed is when a hurricane is comin and even that isn’t guaranteed now

[errant prawn]

literally though. Hurricanes lately have been changing at literally the last minute

the last one was absolutely wild

[tribal horizon]

Weren’t they off by like 250 miles or some shit

[west fable]

I’m sad I’m not going to this

[grand mauve]

denial seems to be a river in egypt

[west fable]

Ian was pain

[errant prawn]

It was so bad, one minute it was going to the panhandle and then it was south florida, I felt so bad for everyone on the west coast waiting to see where it was actually going to make landfall.

[errant prawn]

it was so off. The euro model was the only one showing it going south throughout the predicted forecast until like the last minute

[west fable]

Me in cf begging for it to not hit me

The place down the road from us was drowned

[silent plaza]

is anyone on the floor willing to get me some confetti? it would be much appreciated 😭🫶

[finite cedar]

What day are you gonna be there?

[silent plaza]

4/14! but also desperately looking for any ticket for thursday or saturday

[finite cedar]

Ahhhh if you manage to find saturday tickets I’ll be able to grab some confetti for you!

[grand mauve]

We will be hunting Saturday morning for tickets

[finite cedar]

Good luck!!!

I’m on the lookout for a Friday ticket

[silent plaza]

considering doing this if i can find a hotel 😵‍💫

[grand mauve]

LMAOO

My boyfriend lives in Wesley Chapel and I’m staying with him for the weekend

So we’re like 20 mins up the road

[silent plaza]

i only got a ticket last tuesday and all hotels are either fully booked or like $600+

it’s so bad for me

[grand mauve]

DAMN

[silent plaza]

omg that’s so lucky 😭

[grand mauve]

Yeah

His parents are picking us up and dropping us off too

Avoid the whole BS

[finite cedar]

That will probably be worse tbh 😭

[tawny sigil]

Y’all I need help. I’m going on the 14th with my family. Doors are at 4:30. The show starts at 6:30. My mom made us a dinner reservation at 5 PM that’s a 30 minute walk from the stadium. Am I crazy or is this a terrible plan/are we gonna be late???

PS I don’t care about merch

And the plan is to park our car at the restaurant

[finite cedar]

You’d probably miss the openers

[lyric tiger]

I'm 14th floor as well!!

[stable terrace]

lets freakin gooo

[silent plaza]

wait i’m also getting dropped off omg how is that worse

[silent plaza]

do either of u mind getting some confetti for me after show? ik it’s kinda a weird request but i’m in the 300s and just rlly want some

totally ok if not!

[grand shadow]

Hello everyone

👋

[viral gust]

you guys need to scream "Taylor you'll be fine" extra loud

[grand shadow]

Seems I’m going to miss Tampa show

Who’s interested in 14th of April ticket 🎫

[stable terrace]

i can try my best. we need to arrange a meet ❤️

[pure marlin]

Agh I want some confetti on the 13th too😭 I’m kinda close to the floor but not really

[grand mauve]

@finite cedar

[grand mauve]

I don’t think it’ll be worse tbh we can walk somewhere and they can just grab us

Instead of dealing with finding our car, driving and sitting in the traffic

[errant prawn]

The weather might be getting better for the 13th for when Taylor comes on

Now it’s showing that it won’t be raining at 8

Rain might be 1-7

[patent merlin]

Traffic about to be insane. 🌚

[finite cedar]

It’s been changing a ton since yesterday, I’m hopeful

[pure marlin]

Guys just remember your concert etiquette. Be kind and respectful to others. Don’t do stupid stuff and just have fun. And always remember to help others😁

[rocky sleet]

if anyone has an extra for saturday lmk i need a ticket lmfdhj

[grand shadow]

Dm

[finite cedar]

Don’t dm that’s a scam lol

[grand shadow]

I got proof

I don’t have time for games mate

[rocky sleet]

LOL i'll see

[west horizon]

if they're actually a scam please let me know so i can pew

also ticket selling is not permitted here anyways

[rocky sleet]

oops sorry for asking

[west horizon]

you're good dw

[stable terrace]

oh? i did not know that

[grand mauve]

how do you know

[finite cedar]

It’s supposed to thunderstorm all day Thursday 🧍‍♀️

What happens now 😭

[patent merlin]

We cry about it.

[pure marlin]

I traveled to see this sooooo

[finite cedar]

I technically did too 😭

[tribal horizon]

Ponchoooooooo

MIDNIGHT RAINNN

[patent merlin]

Taylor Swift about to rock the cleanest poncho.

[tribal horizon]

I’m learning how to write old English script

[stable terrace]

almost time yaaaayaayy

[errant prawn]

When do you guys think Ticketmaster will start releasing tickets again?

[west horizon]

should be sometime soon

[south lance]

Anyone know a way to get around the “authenticate your account” popup? I have to provide a code every single time I look at the page. Sometimes it makes me go through the process twice because I’ve lost my place in the queue 🤪

[finite cedar]

I’m not sure, it just started coming up for me today and I’ve been checking for days

[finite cedar]

Do you think it’ll be today 😭😭

[south lance]

It takes like several minutes to get an email and the texting option doesn’t even seem to work. It’s weird, I wish it could be a permanent verification I’m not a bot lol

[west horizon]

lemme find the reddit post again

so today is 3 days so

should be right?

[finite cedar]

Yeah okay that’s what I thought

I wonder what time they dropped for Vegas

[south lance]

I’ve read late morning

Cant verify accuracy on that

[west horizon]

so sometime soon

hopefully

[finite cedar]

This is anxiety inducing lmaooo

I’m hoping for one of those $40 behind the stage seats 🙏 lmfao

[west horizon]

again for the price those seats are actually not bad as a like second/third show option

[finite cedar]

No this is exactly why I want them LOL

I’m already seeing her two other times with a better view, I’d be perfectly happy to just be there for that price

[south lance]

Same 😆

[finite cedar]

The queue has been super glitchy this morning

Suspicious lmao

Someone pls tag me if they drop LMAO

[west horizon]

just keep an eye if you can honestly

cause it could be top of the hour

[finite cedar]

Yeah I’ll check at 11 est again

I’m just tiring myself constantly refreshing LOL

[south lance]

Same, tired of the verification codes 🥴

[finite cedar]

Nothing 😭

[errant prawn]

at least we know they're probably coming today. Especially with them adding the authenticator thing

last night that wasn't there when you tried to join a queue

[finite cedar]

Very true

I’ll keep checking when I can

[south lance]

Still nothing hmmm

I’m checking constantly lol

[finite cedar]

I am too 😭😭😭

[errant prawn]

the amount of verification texts i have from ticketmaster at this point is ridiculous

[south lance]

Hahaha same I’m at like 55 emails

😭

[errant prawn]

it's so bad

and the texts get a slight lag

it's like i'm afraid to stop checking

[south lance]

Lol yeah the moment you stop checking is when they go on sale

[median carbon]

this verification thing is stressing me out😭 do you guys think they’ll drop tickets for all dates or just for thursday??

[south lance]

I’ve read online it’s all dates but can’t personally verify

[errant prawn]

it's also weird because sometimes they just redirect me to the screen that says they don't have any tickets available, but then the next time I try I have like 20 people in front of me

they're all gone for the 13th

maybe they'll have another drop later 😭

[median carbon]

omg what’s the point of being in a queue if someone is just gonna beat me to all the tickets

[errant prawn]

i keep getting back in line because they keep adding random tickets

i think it's worth getting back in line 100%

[finite cedar]

The only ticket left for Friday is floor 😭

[west horizon]

oh shit so they put out new tickets????

[errant prawn]

i'm trying for floor on the 13th, I have seats but i could get closer i would

I had section N row 2 in my cart but then they were gone😭

[finite cedar]

[tribal horizon]

Tampa forecast for Thursday. See guys the weather is constantly changing. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about (proceeds to buy ponchos)

[finite cedar]

[west horizon]

[tribal horizon]

See they have no clue what’s goin on

No need to worry

[finite cedar]

All of the rain seems to be super light rain, at least

[tribal horizon]

Ok the mayor of Tampa just did something

She gave Taylor the key to the city and is making her honory mayor of the day when she arrives

[finite cedar]

I saw that!! So cute

The county also renamed itself Swiftsborough lol

[tribal horizon]

No it didn’t

Please tell me that’s true

[finite cedar]

It is!!!

[tribal horizon]

Ok that is hilarious

[patent merlin]

I'm just glad the concert is going to be 10 minutes from me.

[tribal horizon]

It’s 35 mins from me but I’m already in Tampa because I go to USF so I’m already down there

I’m gonna be at Busch gardens if anyone wants to join

[patent merlin]

Well, I'm staying at a place close to the concert for 2 nights, but the drive is 4 hours.

[finite cedar]

Ouch

[tribal horizon]

Oh Tampa native here

[finite cedar]

I’m staying with my best friend for the week lmao that drive is killer

[tribal horizon]

It’s like a 35-40 min drive to Ray jay

[patent merlin]

I requested the whole week off for this, so I'm happy.

[tribal horizon]

So I’m goin to class. Picking up my cousin and goin to Busch gardens until around 3-4 then goin to the concert

[patent merlin]

But I'll be crying throughout the drive LOL.

[tribal horizon]

Btw they need to dye the swiftsborough River red Js

[finite cedar]

Does anybody know what these grey blocks in the middle of this lower bowl section are 😭

I’m in this section Thursday and just noticed them

[west horizon]

i believe it's the like entrances to the section

lemme find a pic what section is that

[patent merlin]

Do we know the price for parking?

One of my biggest concerns.

[south lance]

Pre-paid online $43

Idk what the day-of price is

Just know I got one pre-paid spot for $43

[west horizon]

it looks like some of the lots are sold out already

but some of them aren't

https://www.parkjockey.com/en-us/raymondjames

[patent merlin]

Do you mind sending me the website for that?

Oh, never mind.

[west horizon]

[patent merlin]

LOL!

[west horizon]

one thing i never knew is that

every other stadium has barely any parking

[patent merlin]

@west horizon THANK YOU BY THE WAY!

[west horizon]

like i didn't realize metlife is like

the parking lot overload

[west horizon]

np anytime 🙏

[finite cedar]

Ohhh okay thank god lol

I was scared it would block my view 😭

[errant prawn]

this websites also good for seeing views 🙂 https://aviewfrommyseat.com/venue/Raymond+James+Stadium/

[finite cedar]

Omg I didn’t even think to check there lol

[tribal horizon]

I haven’t been able to tell btw. Is the pirate ship behind the stage as a backdrop or behind the crowd

I’m ashamed I can’t tell by looking at a map of Ray jay sections. Life long bucs fan

[finite cedar]

The pirate ship is behind the crowd on the opposite end from the stage

[tribal horizon]

Ah

Nice

They should sell like a 21+ vip package that allows u to be on the ship. That party would be litttt

[waxen niche]

tampa is so so so ghetto 😭😭

[worthy dirge]

okay

i wanna try and meet the people who are sitting

next to me

because we’re gonna be crying together and i’d like to meet people before i sob in front of them

[errant prawn]

do you guys think tickets will be released again later today?

[stable terrace]

mee

but im not same areav :<

[finite cedar]

Guys… what happens if it does thunderstorm Thursday

[west horizon]

you better pray it don't

[finite cedar]

Because it seems kinda really likely

It’s a 70% chance rn 😭

[west horizon]

ain't a hundred 🙏

legit i should probably like unfollow this thread cause yknow not my city but like i remember for rep metlife for me

they said the same shit

thunderstorms highly likely

it was just on/off rain no boom

when i went to gov ball last year they said sunday: thunderstorms

it was sunny and beautiful

the weeknd last year too they said thunder: it was just rain

granted florida weather is a much much different beast but all you can do rn is just pray it's just rain

[finite cedar]

Okay 😭😭😭😭😭

In the case that it does thunderstorm, would the show just be flat out cancelled or would it end up rescheduled?

[south lance]

I saw this online on Facebook earlier…. Someone emailed the stadium directly

Doesn’t answer your question, but it does sound like they may just delay the start of it if that’s the case?

Or work around it (timing-wise) if there’s lightning

[west horizon]

nah you can't

boom boom means no go at all

it'd be delayed

maybe skip openers

[finite cedar]

The issue is that the lightening is supposed to start in the middle of Taylor’s set lol

[west horizon]

the worst case would be like what happened here with beyonce/jay z in 2018

they had openers and all go

right before they were supposed to go on

lightning hits

had to delay

and they came out at like

nearly midnight

and finished i think before 2am

it fucked up the trains

for the morning commute

cause it went so late it was crazy

[south lance]

Ahhh

[finite cedar]

Oh god okay 😭😭😭😭

[west horizon]

It turns out Thursday night's Beyoncé and Jay-Z concert at MetLife Stadium was partly to blame for this morning’s cancellation of nearly 20 trains across several NJ Transit lines. This is according to a New Jersey Transit spokeswoman, who said that engineer absences due to concert obligations were part of this morning's rail commuting headaches.

Nancy Snyder said equipment installation pulled engineers away and that the "previous administration's failure to adequately fund NJ Transit" has created challenges.

NJ Transit is contractually obligated to support concerts with rail service when attendance is more than 50,000, explained Snyder.

"Due to inclement weather, last night’s concert started later than usual and ended very early this morning, forcing crews to work until close to 3:30 a.m. today," she said. "As a result, some of these crews did not have the required rest time to begin their scheduled shifts this morning."

She said more than 12,000 customers were transported to and from MetLife Stadium Thursday night and early Friday.

Severe weather caused a delay at the show in East Rutherford as stadium officials asked fans to leave their seats and take shelter inside. Fans were let back in at about 10:35 p.m.

The concert finally began shortly after 11 p.m. and Beyonce thanked the crowd for waiting.

[grand mauve]

I want saturdsy tickets 😩😩

[grand mauve]

I’m in 232

Woah what Ticketmaster let me in to view tickets for Friday night

But it says nothings available

[finite cedar]

Yeah, some tickets dropped earlier and it’s been doing that ever since

[grand mauve]

Only for Friday?

Thurs and Sat tell me like unavailable

Sale never happened something like that

[errant prawn]

i think for all dates

[finite cedar]

It was for all dates

About 12:30 this afternoon

They went super fast tho

[grand mauve]

Damn how did anyone know about it?

[south lance]

Shows from the other cities also had tickets quietly drop a few days before

Which people knew about from social media posts

So it was just a guess/pattern observation

[errant prawn]

I kinda just knew from constantly refreshing the page throughout the day since I knew it was coming

[grand mauve]

Did anyone acquire tickets?

[tribal horizon]

If anyone is in section 312 on Thursday we should meet up!!

[primal knoll]

We’re getting closer… 🙂

[finite cedar]

2 more days!

[stable terrace]

What does the vip poster look like

[west horizon]

oh i have it somewhere

[stable terrace]

Ohhh okay I did see that one!

[finite cedar]

😟

[errant prawn]

I just saw that 😬

It just needs to clear up by 8, the lightning symbol doesn’t make me feel good though. Maybe if anything she’d delay the show

[teal horizon]

Bruh earlier today it said just some rain before and at the end of the show

[finite cedar]

Yeah, it changes like every two hours lmao

I doubt it’ll rain for that long even if it doesn’t change, it’s predicted to storm from 9am to 5am the next morning and that literally never happens lol

[scarlet aspen]

When are y’all showing up for early merch

[errant prawn]

Maybe 10(ish), we have to drive like 3 hours, so we're going to try to leave super early

tickets are probably going to be released soon 😅

[grand mauve]

The fact people get to go for early merch is crazy

[errant prawn]

I'm going because if i get it the day of the concert I'll have to carry it, we're not getting bags. Plus we're driving up early and not the day of the concert in case of traffic or anything that would prevent us from getting to tampa

i legit don't want to carry a hoddie around if it rains too

has anyone gotten in for tickets this morning?

[finite cedar]

No 😭 I think tomorrow night will be my best shot

[south lance]

I haven’t, Idk about others

[errant prawn]

on ticketmaster or stubhub?

[finite cedar]

Ticketmaster

Apparently for Vegas more tickets were dropped the night before the show

[errant prawn]

wait, they're gonna drop tickets tomorrow night

that would be so much better than now

[finite cedar]

I mean it’s not confirmed but that’s been the pattern so far

I think it’s kinda random

[errant prawn]

I like that it's random because it won't be as crazy but I also hate it at the same time

[finite cedar]

They still go so fast 😭 it’s so stressful
