The reason for a age limit in Sweden is that we don’t allow 120db for children. The artist needs to play at 95db before children get 12 years old due to children have more sensitive ears. I work as a live audio engineer in Sweden.

[@KeanuSoemali]

There's a limitation to the loudness for children!? Other countries need to nurture their children like how Swedes do it.

[@dealerovski82]

they hit the jackpot of swedish weather, 2 weeks ago we had minus degrees and snow storm. this week has been 20+ degrees C.

[@magnuspersson1433]

Not minus in Stockholm/Solna, but close... no snow either, by the way.

[@dealerovski82]

@@magnuspersson1433 it was 3 weeks back.

[@Schwuhlgeier_Ruedi]

We drove all the way from germany and left the winter tires on the car, just to have 20+ degree every day :D

[@davidwittberg683]

The no bags thing is security and the age limit is to protect the hearing of the still developing youth, that are more prone to hearing loss and permanent damage from loud noise.

Because she’s a fire alarm that’s her side job aside from being a plastic bottle

But what if you have to carry medically necessary medical supplies that won’t fit in your pockets?

[@davidwittberg683]

@@free2bkittenforever They make exceptions.

[@free2bkittenforever]

So wtf are you supposed to do if you need medical supplies with you? I have about 15 medications I need with me at all times as well as my blood pressure cuff and glucose monitor and oxygen canister. Surely they make exceptions for things that are medically necessary??

[@MONOKERUS-SSO]

Yes, they do. You just bring your doctors note for your meds and you're allowed to bring them in.

[@MiaTop507]

Sad thing is that the stage was too low and unless you were just next to the stage you were basically watching a screen for 3,5 hrs.

[@swinto4795]

was same at the beyonce concert, resulting in people falling asleep...

[@tuomasryynanen9707]

she was on high ground for a big portion of the show and the props were designed to help people see. Even without them this stage is on the taller side of concert stages and filled a massive portion of the floor. With more typical stage designs you would see way less.. this is how it is for massive stadium shows, for more clear view its either expensive tickets or smaller venue

I love Taylor Swift❤️🫶❤️🫶❤️🫶❤️🫶❤️🫶🫶

Ticket resale by scalpers above face value is illegal in Sweden and most Europe countries lol

[@aidaanagg]

I’m 10 and went to Singapore n6 hoping they allow under 13 for Scotland cus I am hoping to go there

[@KLM59149]

Okay??

[@W_Bin]

Isn't it amazing that in Trump's world women like Taylor are conveniences. And in the real world, they can be billionaires. Go Taylor Swift.

[@mrmdaher]

Hmmm mayb it’s cheaper because people in Europe earn less? Think about it that’s so rude all those Americans at the EU dates

[@magnuspersson1433]

Plus the Swedish currency, "krona", is insanely low. Very expensive for us in Sweden to visit Euro or Dollar countries.

[@michaelwirth6843]

They kind of earn a little less but nearly everything is free or nearly free, schools, healthcare, a long payed vacation (6 weeks in sweden), etc.

[@kasity]

Europeans aren’t as crazy about Taylor Swift as the Americans too…

[@mrmdaher]

@@kasity???????? Millions didn't get tickets mdf

So Taylor Swift is price gouging her American fans. Got it.

[@johnpark7972]

Blame Ticketmaster

[@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos]

Not her...the ticketing site is price gouging... because US doesn't have a proper ticketing law to protect consumers like Europe..thats why this whole congressional hearing against Ticketmaster happened in 2022 when she announced the tour...her fans sued Ticketmaster for unnecessary price hije and reselling tickets to resellers for 10x its surface value... Its the same with Beyoncé tickets or any other Superstar artists concerts. Taylor Swift concert happens to be the most demanding ticket of all so the resellers put highest amount on secondary sites to scam real fans.

[@berniv7375]

The USA needs to shape up in all areas. The Americans are enslaving the world through a corrupt economic system. Look at how much the average American has to pay for a prescription. Wow! Talk about greedy, selfish capitalists. That dude wearing the coloured fur pieces needs to get a compassion check.🗽

[@KLM59149]

Not her wasting the air in the ozone lmfao anyway she can gtfo

[@Swifte043]

I’m a big Swifty and my mom told me about this in summer, but she said there was a 13 year old age. thing and I got so mad because we were maybe going to go
