4. A Sold Out Show

As has been the case with every Taylor Swift show at Gillette Stadium, both concerts are now sold out.

5. Security Protocol

Guests should plan to arrive at the gates early for concert entry. In light of the attacks during the Boston Marathon, stadium entry procedures will take longer than you are used to, and we ask that you take the necessary steps to ensure you are in your seats prior to the start of the show.

Each person entering the stadium will be screened, and all bags will be searched and tagged before being allowed through the gates

Fans are asked to review the list of prohibited items prior to leaving home. This will assist with a timely entry to the stadium

More information about security procedures in place at Gillette Stadium can be found by clicking here.

Please assist stadium staff by:

• Leaving any unnecessary bags at home or in your vehicles. Note there are express lanes for guests with no bags.
• Arriving early at the gates
• Having any bags you need to bring into the stadium open when approaching the gates
• Removing all metal from your pockets; i.e. cell phone, keys, loose change prior to being screened, and following signs and directions given by staff during the bag searches and individual screenings

Extra: Poster and Glow Stick Policy:

Posters and glow sticks are allowed inside Gillette Stadium for the event. Please note maximum poster size is 18 x 24in. and stadium management reserves the right to approve all banners and signs. Banners, signs and flags may be prohibited due to space availability, banner or sign size and/or interference with other fans or message content.
