Taylor Swift Era Tour fans are gearing up for the pop sensation’s return to the UK for her final London dates. The ‘Cruel Summer’ singer will take over Wembley Stadium for a five-show run this week, performing on August 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20.
For those planning to catch one of these amazing shows, it’s important to know what you can and can’t take – or risk being denied entry. With Taylor Swift’s London dates just days away, there have been a number of questions about what is allowed through Wembley’s gates and how strict the rules are.
To clear up any misunderstandings, handbag and accessories brand Fiorelli has highlighted what concert-goers can and cannot take with them, the Mirror reports. Wembley Stadium states that only small bags are allowed, and larger ones are not allowed. But what exactly qualifies as a “small bag”?
Wembley Stadium Bag Policy:
With utmost clarity, the Wembley Stadium website states: “Anyone carrying bags that do not meet the above criteria WILL NOT BE ADMITTED.” A spokesman emphasized the stadium’s stance on safety, adding: “Safety is everything. That’s why we carefully review public safety and stadium security policies every year and look for ways to improve them.
“By limiting the size and style of bags that people can carry in, our bag policy improves security inside and outside the arena. It also speeds up the security screening process.”
What about official merchandise?
When you buy matchday products, it comes in a clear plastic bag that you can take with you to the stadium. If you buy goods from our stores or the stadium store, the bag will be sealed. Remember not to break the seal until you get to the stadium.
Will my bags be inspected?
Yes, all items and bags carried by spectators and staff will be thoroughly inspected upon entering the stadium. This may include an electronic check or pat down. Bags will be checked at an external barrier. If there is a question about size, a bag gauge will be used.
Fashion Advice for Swifties:
- Choose a small Crossbody bag: “A small crossbody bag is perfect for concerts. It keeps your hands free and it can be worn securely across the body, reducing the risk of losing your belongings.”
- Choose a stylish clutch: “For those who prefer a more elegant option, a chic clutch can carry essentials like your phone, ID and some cash. Look for a clutch with a wrist strap to keep it secure while you dance the night away.”
- Minimalism is key: “Avoid bringing unnecessary items. Stick to the basics: phone, keys, wallet and maybe a portable charger,” advises Nia. “Remember, the goal is to enjoy the concert without getting stuck with a heavy bag.”
- Use pockets: “Some fans may prefer to use their clothes creatively. If your outfit has pockets, use them to your advantage. It’s a practical way to easily carry small items.”
