Ok I need reassurance. Even though I know I couldn’t deal with standing, I’m worried that my nosebleed seats will be rubbish and I’ll barely see anything. I also love getting merch at a concert so to hear the queues are insane worries me. And the toilet issue also gives me the absolute fear - worried I’m gonna get anxious by so much and not fully enjoy it all.

There’s no bad seat!! I was in the very back row and had the time of my life 💃 merch wise you can get most of it online so maybe have a look at that and see? I think it’s the water bottle, poster, grey 1/4 zip and blue crew neck you can’t get online. The other hoodies and chairs you can!
 
Golden oldie gig-goer here - ALWAYS look after your feet. The only thing that screws your night up faster than sore trotters is your mate over-drinking and needing taking to the medics. (I so hope that story from last night resolved itself. Can't remember who the poster was.)

Nosebleed will be great you will see the whole stadium and all the light and staging effects perfectly!

How high up are you? Our seats were quite high and loved the view.

Also I have OCD so tend to ruminate over all my anxieties like this too before big events. Honestly you will be fine! Just enjoy the moment, if you let yourself fall totally into it you won't be thinking about all those other little things

I was very excited getting ready yesterday. I am fatigued today 🤣 half way through my face and hit the wall.

I can imagine! I was at different gig last night and even though I was sitting for probably half of it and then had an easy taxi ride home I am absolutely shattered today. I think it’s mostly due to sensory overload and partly because I had quite a few drinks (hooray for having both kids at sleepovers!)
The energy and noise and massive crowds at Taylor would have been 10x what I experienced last night!! I feel for you having to do it all again so soon, but then again HOW AMAZING YOU GET TO DO IT ALL AGAIN SO SOON 🥳🥳🥳
That was me being excited, not shouty btw!
I hope you have a brilliant night with the mini fiend/s. You’ve got this 👑
 
I was in the nosebleeds at the side of the stage and honestly it was a fab view. The only thing I couldn't see was the big screen at the back of the main stage. I could even see her on the roof of the folklore cottage. And honestly it's just a big party! You'll have the greatest time and the screens give you a great view of Taylor at all times

I was second back row in the nosebleeds and it was still amazing! You could see all the staging and lights, the crowd vibes. The screens are great so you won’t miss anything. Toilet-wise, (forgive me I have sinned) I jumped out just before champagne problems and was back at the end of the ovation. You can use the men’s but there are fewer cubicles so the queue actually moves slower, I walked around a bit til I found a shortish one. I have since read that the portaloos on the ground level by the food trucks were much shorter so you can dash down the stairs and back.

I know what you mean as I’m also feeling a little anxious the closer it gets.

Nosebleeds tickets - I sometimes think these are the best seats as you can see the whole stadium! All the lights etc, everyone’s pictures from nosebleeds are always the most impressive to me as it looks stunning.

Toilets - I’m going to have a look over the setlist again and work out where I’d be fine going to the toilet, ideally I don’t want to miss anything but think I need to make that plan in my head of what I’d be okay missing *just* in case. There’s also all those videos on TikTok of timings in between sets and how long you’ll have which are useful.

Merch - there’s something I want but I’m just making peace with not getting it and if I do manage it then it’s a bonus! I know that’s easier said than done though if there’s something you really want.

Can’t remember who it was I said it to, or if I posted this already 😂 but here’s the link to the acoustic surprise songs. Last night is up already!! Just attacked me out the blue mid walk home lol

Omg I didn't know they were on Spotify!! Hope there's a live Eras tour album for the surprise songs.

@MidnightAura there is a ticket on Twickets for tonight, it's VIP though so not cheap! 400ish. Says they're accepting offers though so might be open to bargaining.😅

Someone offered this girl their tickets for free 🥺 had me tearing up this morning.

Thank you for this. I missed it sadly. But thank you very much for thinking of me.
That story with the little girl is heartbreaking.
 
Just catching up from last night. I was at Girls Aloud, which felt like a mega anticlimax after Friday 🙈 I was also knackered so I’m impressed by those doing two in a row! (Eras adrenaline would probably have gotten me through though.) I was checking the thread on my phone under my seat for the surprise songs. Bolter x Getaway Car is elite! Scottish crowds are amazing, what a night. Let’s hope she keeps being as good to all the UK nights.
 
We got tickets on a late release yesterday morning for last night. Was incredibly rushed but amazing and we thought we had missed the boat. Had an amazing time. It was everything my daughter had hoped and more. Seats were in E8 and brilliant view. Our merch experience was not great though. Queued at the merch stand at east gate. Joined at 5pm and finally got it at 7.05pm. You had to fight back out the way you came in and at points the crush was stupI’d. Id have been wary of having a wee one in there. Totally amazing night.
