I got yesterday inside the stadium. I cant comment about outside. Id just queue it does move quickly and they have so many people working.
 
G4S are notably a terrible stewarding company, (at least at Murrayfield) so I’m not surprised by the amount of times taylor’s having to point out (which she should be as she’ll have a great view!) but then also wait for the help. She looked raging at some of them last night 😬 stadiums either shouldn’t be rental admission standing or they should be like wee pockets of standing so that you can get back to your spot. That’s the hill i’m willing to die on.

I got in very quickly, was in the purple entry and through the turnstile at about bang on 4 and the merch line once through was already quite long. Probably not unbearably long but I remember thinking holy tit it's already huge. In contrast the bar/food trucks had no queues at that point, I was able to walk right up and had my choice of bartenders.
 
I agree it was confusing trying to find the right entry point, we were south entry and were told so many different things by different staff. Ended up taking us a good while to find our right entry. We arrived at maybe 5:30ish and the merch ques were insanely long so would suggest probably going earlier if you are wanting merch x

I skipped Paramore to queue (my friend stayed in to watch), as I wasn’t that bothered, but still queued for around 45 mins. My friend went out for food during the show and said there were no queues, so that would be the best time if there’s a song you’re not fussed about missing!

Is it the 1/4 zip? This one? (Thank you for finally making me get out of bed. Ya gal’s got a run and a gym session to do today and she was festering in her pit 🙃)

Midnights. I think I saw that the s/m ran out of the old stock & they swapped to ttpd? Could be wrong!

I watched a video of her performing ATW last night (great footage btw), and in the earlier part, she really acted out the lyrics. But then she had to change to repeatedly pointing out where help was needed. I felt sorry for her!

My only other contribution is to confess that I only got truly converted, at the ripe old age of 60, when I first heard Taylor’s version of ALT. And now I think TTPD may be the best album I’ve ever heard. 15 years ago my daughter wanted to fly to London (from Dublin) for to see Taylor in concert. She kept saying ‘ if I don’t see her now, I may never get another chance because she might be that popular in a few years’. I said ‘no’ to her plea, because she had school exams at that time. It must have been the last time my daughter did as I said 😂.

I‘m delighted she will be at the Dublin show on June 29th - and I’ll be watching a livestream. ☺️
