Taylor Swift fans have been warned against camping out overnight ahead of her gigs at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool. With the hit maker set to appear at the stadium on June 13, 14 and 15, eager fans have been reminded of what they can and can’t do on the grounds before the concert begins.

Liverpool Football Club (LFC) has shared some important information for concerts and major events on its website. This includes turning up to the stadium too early, camping outside the stadium or in the local area, or going to the stadium without a ticket for the event.

The website states: “Please do not arrive to the Stadium early, especially if you have a reserved seat. You will be asked to leave and return at an appropriate time. Please note camping at the Stadium and in the immediate vicinity including local parks is NOT PERMITTED.

“Do not come to the Stadium or surrounding areas unless you have a ticket for this event. Anfield is in a highly residential area so we ask that you respect our neighbours by only travelling to Anfield if you have a ticket to the concert.”

LFC also reminded concert-goers that the minimum age you can enter the stadium without an adult is 16 years old. Any child under the age of 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult who is over 18 years old.

It also explains that there are a number of local residents in the area, as well as around the stadium, so attendees should be respectful of the residents when visiting for the concert. Taylor Swift fan account, The Eras Tour UK & Ireland, also posted the warning on X (formerly known as Twitter).

LFC has also said no bags are allowed in the stadium, except for purchases made from official show merchandise in the clear plastic carrier bag provided. Those bags permitted will be subjected to a bag search at the entry point.
