Taylor
Swift, the eleven-time GRAMMY winner and one of the most influential artists of
our time, is bringing her Eras Tour to Santa Clara, CA on July 29, 2023. The
tour is a celebration of her nine studio albums, from her self-titled debut to
her latest masterpiece, Midnights. If you are a Swiftie or just a fan of
great music, you don't want to miss this epic show at Levi's Stadium. Here we
collected the important stuff to know before you go to Santa Clara.
How to Get Tickets
Tickets
for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour are in high demand, so you need to act fast if you
want to secure your spot. The best way to get tickets is through Ticketmaster's
Verified Fan program, which ensures that only real fans get access to the
presale. You can register at:
November
9 is the last date, so hurry up and receive a code that will allow you to
purchase tickets by November 15 starting at 10 AM local venue time. Tickets
range from $49 to $449, and VIP packages are also available from $199 to $899.
If
you are a Capital One cardholder, you can also take advantage of the Capital
One Presale, which starts on November 16 at 2 PM PST and ends on November 18 at 2 PM PST. You can use your Capital One card to buy up to four tickets per
transaction, while supplies last.
If
you miss the presale, you can still try your luck on the general sale, which
starts on November 19 at 10 AM PST. However, be prepared to pay higher prices
and face stiffer competition, as tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
How to Get There
Levi's
Stadium is located in Santa Clara, CA, about 45 miles south of San Francisco
and 6 miles northwest of San Jose. The stadium is easily accessible by car,
public transportation, rideshare, or bike.
If
you are driving, you can park in one of the designated lots around the stadium
for a fee ranging from $40 to $60. However, be aware that tailgating is
prohibited for the Taylor Swift concerts and there will be no designated
viewing areas outside of the stadium. You can also expect heavy traffic and
road closures on Tasman Drive starting on Friday morning. Santa Clara Mayor
Lisa Gillmor advises fans not to drive and instead take public transportation
or be dropped off at a specific spot.
If
you are taking public transportation, you have several options to choose from.
You can take Caltrain to Mountain View Station and transfer to VTA Light Rail
(Mountain View - Winchester line) to Great America Station. You can also take
BART to Warm Springs Station and transfer to VTA Express Bus 251 or VTA Light
Rail (Orange line) to Great America Station. Alternatively, you can take Amtrak
Capitol Corridor or ACE Train to Great America Station directly.
If
you are using rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, you can be dropped off or
picked up at the designated rideshare zone near Gate C on Tasman Drive.
However, be prepared to pay surge pricing and wait longer for your ride.
If
you are biking, you can use the bike valet service located near Gate A on Marie
P DeBartolo Way. The service is free and secure and operates from two hours
before the event until one hour after the event.
What to Expect
Taylor
Swift's Eras Tour is unlike any other concert you have ever seen. It is a
musical journey through her nine albums, each with its own theme, stage design,
costume changes, and surprise songs. You will hear her biggest hits like "Love
Story", "You Belong With Me", "Blank Space",
"Shake It Off", "Look What You Made Me Do",
"Cardigan", "Willow", and "All Too
Well (10 Minute Version)", as well as some deep cuts and fan favorites
that she rarely performs live. You will also see some amazing special effects,
pyrotechnics, dancers, and guest appearances by some of her friends and
collaborators like Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in Red,
MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, and OWENN.
The
show starts at 6:30 PM and lasts for about three hours, with a 20-minute
intermission. The doors open at 5:00 PM, but you should arrive early to avoid
long lines and enjoy the pre-show activities. There will be a fan village with
interactive booths, photo opportunities, merchandise, food and drinks, and more.
You will also receive a wristband that will light up and sync with the music
during the show, creating a stunning visual effect.
Before
you enter the stadium, make sure you have your ticket ready to scan and follow
the clear bag policy and prohibited items list. You can only bring bags that
are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x
12". You can also bring a small clutch bag or wallet that does not exceed
4.5" x 6.5". You cannot bring backpacks, purses, camera bags,
binocular cases, diaper bags, fanny packs, or any other bags that are not clear
or exceed the size limit. You also cannot bring weapons, alcohol, drugs,
fireworks, lasers, umbrellas, selfie sticks, drones, or any other items that
