But what should concertgoers know to enjoy this event to the fullest? Here you will find all the important information about the concerts, how to get there and the safety regulations.

House rules at the Ernst Happel Stadium

To ensure smooth operations and the safety of all visitors, the Ernst Happel Stadium has strict house rules. Some of the most important rules include the prohibition of certain items:

• Bags larger than A4 format
• Photo cameras with removable lenses or focal lengths greater than 200 mm
• Video cameras, GoPros, tablets, selfie sticks
• Umbrellas, cans, glass bottles, PET bottles, Tetrapaks from 0,25 liters
• Tupperware for food, laptops, laser pointers, fireworks (including sparklers)
• Weapons of any kind (including knives, pepper sprays), drones

Visitors should strictly observe these rules to avoid delays and inconveniences upon entry.

Ticket purchase and resale

The tickets for the Taylor Swift concerts were sold out in no time. Anyone who still wants to get a ticket will have to resort to the reseller market. However, caution is advised here: platforms such as "Viagogo" are often associated with high prices and risks, as the Chamber of Labor (AK) has already warned several times about dubious practices. A safe alternative is the "Fansale" ticket exchange from Eventim, where tickets can be resold at fair prices and in compliance with the original prices.

Getting to the Ernst Happel Stadium

The Ernst Happel Stadium is easily accessible by public transport. The U2 subway line goes directly to the “Stadion” station. Alternatively, you can take the U3 line to “Schlachthausgasse” and change there to bus line 77A. However, due to modernization work on the main line, there will be no trains between Floridsdorf and Praterstern during the summer months (June 29th to September 2nd), which will lead to an increase in passenger volume. It is therefore recommended that you allow enough time for your journey and use the alternative transport options.
