Can we park at the stadium on the day or do you have to book? I can’t find anything online about it

Can we park at the stadium on the day or do you have to book? I can’t find anything online about it This is what I found in an german newspaper article about the concert: - There are 14.000 parking slots directly at the stadium. You can pay with coins (no paper!), or creditcard or debitcard. Be aware that sometimes foreign cards cause problems with german banking systems. Creditcards usually work but some debitcards dont work. You cannot book parking tickets in advance. - There is a tram stopping at the stadium as well. It's very common in Germany to use the tram to go to the venue Gelsenkirchen is in a very crowded part of Germany which means the streets can be full with cars. So it might take some time to arrive at the stadium

I found an IG account that is giving tips about the London concerts specifically and one of their posts was about the best places for pee breaks so you don’t miss too much of the show. Lots of people in the comments saying they either didn’t go at all because they didn’t want to lose their spot in the pit, or they did go but ended up missing some of the show due to long lines, etc. People talking about being strategic with how much water they drank, tips for pregnant ladies and when they should go, tips for people who can’t stand for the whole show. Then there’s all the stuff about getting in and out of the stadium, traffic.
I would have loved to go and I’m sure it would have been amazing but all of that sounds positively exhausting lol I have some medical limitations so standing for a 3+ hour show or not drinking water or holding in pee would not have worked for me lol I don’t know how people do it. I got tired and had to sit for a bit during Avril’s HAW show in 2019 and that was like a 75 minute show lol

Yeah I’m very glad I got seats and not floor tickets so I don’t have to worry about losing my spot. I used my presale to get tickets to Cardiff for 4 of my friends and they asked for standing tickets - madness imo for such a long show lol!

I have standing tickets for Hamburg cause there weren't any seating tickets left and I am very much afraid how to handle that I guess I will stand a bit in the back and maybe just sit on the floor for some songs. I cant be standing for more than 1 hour lol.

Are Taylor's guitar skills also "basic" like Avril's? I've seen comments saying she learned that you can use the same 5 chords to make any song. And I am starting to hear her how similar every acoustic track is but I still love the stripped back sessions she does.

Yes, I would say Taylor is a decent guitarist and pianist but like Avril can just play basic chords. However, Taylor makes an effort to accompany herself a lot and each tour has had moments where she’s playing or even accompanying herself with no other band members. And any tour where she’s switched up the acoustic song each show and playing solo at least shows she’s trying to challenge herself. I think the Eras Tour in particular is really impressive, yes she’s repeated songs occasionally, but for the most part she has sung different songs each night and has to memorize them basically day of! And she is accompanying herself with no other band members. Even playing the newly released songs too, that’s a lot to memorize. So skills-wise she’s probably only slightly better than Avril honestly, but she makes way more of an effort to play, challenge herself, and play alone without a band to cover her.

Thanks to this thread, I had a dream I got a free VIP pass for Taylor’s concert but it’s in US and I can’t get a visa. 🤣

She just played the piano mash up of Haunted x Exile again tonight... which are my two favourite songs from her. So I guess my chance of hearing them live are 0% I watched a live stream of her concert and there were 55.000 people on that stream... the crowd she is able to pull online and offline is just insane.

I attended The Eras tour, and I'm so glad I bought seated tickets. The concert was amazing, but I can't stand on my feet for long periods. During more introspective sessions like for Folklore and Evermore, I could really enjoy some songs while seated and still have an amazing time (these are my 2 fave albums).
I was also thrilled that she sang one of my favorites during the secret set. By the way, during Avril's concert, I not only bought floor tickets but stood so close to the stage. It was SO HOT! Probably the hottest experience I've ever had in my life. A girl in front of me even fainted. But I still enjoyed the experience a lot.

In addition to Avril songs being included on our wedding playlist, we also of course had to have Shake It Off! We also included You Are in Love for a slow moment and when we were announced into the party we had Fearless play, I was SO excited when we walked into that song, it felt so magical! Then for the final dance of the evening we requested Timeless and many other couples joined us on the dance floor, including my parents which was sweet. I knew it would be the perfect song to end on and it was!!!
