PHILADELPHIA — For those lucky enough to grab tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, the singer is set to arrive in Philadelphia this weekend!
Swift will be performing at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday, May 12, Saturday, May 13, and Sunday, May 14.
For those attending any of the shows, here are some guidelines surrounding Lincoln Financial Field and what to anticipate inside the venue.
Travel
The street address for concert-goers is One Lincoln Financial Field Way, Philadelphia, Pa. 19147. However, according to Lincoln Financial Field's websites, those using a GPS and driving to the concert will likely have better results by typing in 1020 Pattinson Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. 19147.
Parking
According to Lincoln Financial Field, all parking lots at the South Philadelphia sports complex open at noon on show day.
K Lot is reserved for Pre-Paid Parking Passes only.
Parking lots are CASHLESS (You must pay with a credit card).
Parking at the stadium is expected to cost $35 for standard-sized vehicles and $70 for oversized vehicles, including Limousines, Party Buses, RVs, etc. For more information, including public transportation options, click here.
ADA parking is available on a first-come, first serve basis and is expected to sell out quickly.
Parking lots are expected to sell out. Stadium officials highly recommend carpooling and arriving early.
Pink areas surrounding the stadium are marked for tailgating while the red-colored lots are for those who don't plan on tailgating. The Phillies, who typically play at Citizens Bank Park, will be playing away games throughout Swift's three-day concert series, hopefully freeing up more space!
Pick-ups/Drop-offs
There is a dedicated area for you to wait onsite for post-show pick-ups. If you are waiting for someone up after the concert, you can enter the pick-up area from the intersection of Packer Ave. and 10th Street.
