Taylor Swift fans without tickets to her upcoming London Eras Tour shows have been asked not to gather outside the concert venue.
The Swiftie practice known as “Tay Gating” on social media, which sees fans unable to get into the singer’s shows gathering outside venues to hear their favorite songs, is not allowed at Swift’s next five concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium where she is returning to perform on Thursday, Aug. 15.
A note on the venue’s website reads: “Wembley Stadium is situated in a residential area. We kindly ask that only those with tickets or those visiting our merchandise megastore turn up to the stadium to avoid disruption to the local residents and businesses.”
“To support with the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium.”
The venue added that those without tickets to the show will “be moved on.”

London Police Say There’s ‘Nothing to Indicate’ Terror Plot in Austria Will Impact Taylor Swift’s London Eras Tour Shows
Swift previously performed at the 90,000 capacity venue for three nights in June.
This comes after around 50,000 fans tailgated and camped out in the rolling hills just behind the Olympiastadion in Munich for Swift’s Eras Tour late last month.
Giving her extra fans a shout-out on social media, Swift, 34, wrote on Instagram following her two shows in the German city, “The crowds of 74,000 people a night in the stadium were so passionate, and so generous to us. And I had no idea before I got to Munich that there’s a huge park behind the stadium, but around 50,000 people came out and listened to the show from the hillside both nights.”
She continued, “I’ve been watching so many videos of the crowds out there fully participating in the show from afar, all that joy… I’m feeling really grateful for the unexpected memories this tour has created.”
Swift’s return to the stage in London comes after her Vienna concerts at Ernst Happel Stadium on Aug. 8-10 were canceled following an alleged terror attack. Authorities confirmed on Aug. 7 that two men had been arrested in connection with the planned attack.
A third suspect was arrested the next day, multiple outlets reported at the time.

Why Were Taylor Swift’s Vienna Shows Canceled? What We Know About the Alleged Terror Plot, So Far
Ahead of Swift’s London shows, Wembley Stadium disclosed on its website that “everyone will be checked before entry” and “no weapons of any kind” are permitted.
The Metropolitan Police has denied that the alleged terror plot has had an impact on the upcoming shows, previously telling PEOPLE in a statement, “There’s nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here in London.”
They added that the capital’s venue hosts “a significant number of very high profile events each year with millions of visitors having a safe and enjoyable experience.”
Swift will be supported by Paramore and several other supporting artists, including Griff and Suki Waterhouse, at the London shows, which run until Aug. 20.
