It depends on how badly you want merch, particularly the most sought items. We arrived around 6:00pm and the lines were LONG. Most items were sold out by the time Taylor came on. So if you want merch, go early.

Otherwise, she comes on at 8:00 on the dot. Everything is timed very, very tightly.

If you’re in the upper decks, binoculars are nice. The show is choreographed so you don’t need them, but if you want to see the details on her costumes they’re handy. You can also use them for celeb spotting, lol.

You can go in with the tickets loaded on 1 phone. That's what we did. I had all of our tickets loaded in my Google wallet, told the guy we had __ people with us and just swiped through each ticket as he scanned.


Thank you! Phew.

This is ADORABLE! It will be a lifetime memory for them. Have tons of fun, Swifties!


This is a sweet article about the joy of a kid seeing Taylor. It’s wonderful that you can give your girls this magical experience!

“I watch Jojo as Swift appears at center stage for the song “Miss Americana and Heartbreak Prince.” I have seen Jojo open presents on Christmas morning; I have seen her score a penalty kick in soccer; I have seen her hold three kittens at once. I have never seen her look as happy as this. Her expression is a combination of thrill and shock, as if to say: It’s really her. I can’t believe it’s Taylor Swift.”

I'm still seeing lots of Swifties on social media who are planning on trying to do it. I feel like MetLife is more serious than Gillette was. At the same time, does MetLife have the staff to actually control it how they say they will?

Are they going to be checking each car dropping off in the designated drop-off lots? If so, you all need to leave at 10 am to make it in by 8 pm!

I have relatives who breezed right in yesterday to buy merch and said there are signs posted all over about no loitering & ticketed guests only. We shall see.

Also, as someone who survived 4 hours in a hot-as-balls merch line, I am SO jealous of the sweet-ass set up MetLife did!!!!


How was MetLife setup different than the other venues? I hope they enforce no tailgating.


They are not going to enforce it. There is no way. There is not the man power to do this.

Too many parents are dropping off their kids. Some people are meeting friends who have tickets. Even if you are stopped, all people have to do is to show a screen shot.

The NJ police are making the big announcements on social media to try to lessen the crowds.

The prices are Stub Hub for tonight seem to be dropping slightly.

Right by the diamond floor seats to are now $5,000-$6,000. A few days ago seats were selling for over $10,000.

Praying that Pittsburgh starts dropping soon!

aww so exciting!! give them portable phone chargers too. I had to use mine during the show. being there definitely drains your battery.


also you need to transfer the ticket to one of their phones unless you're planning to show the ticket from your phone at the gate with them. they won't accept paper tickets.



Yep, they have them on both phones, plus two portable chargers. I wanted to have something physical for them to open hence the print out.
