The Eras Tour Tips for Europe | Floor Experience Part 1 of 2: standing only tickets

This video shares all the tips and insights we’ve gathered from seeing Taylor Swift The Eras Tour GA (general admission) floor in Europe - both from a VIP and non-VIP perspective so that you can be fully prepared for your Eras Tour experience!
Footage shown throughout this video is from The Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; Lisboa, Portugal (N1 and N2); and Madrid, Spain (N2). I’m sharing why the floor experience is my favorite way to experience The Eras Tour and some tips to help you have a good time while setting expectations for what you’ll experience.

this was very helpful!! have VIP floor for Milan and i’m excited but nervous!

[@gabriellalorusso106]

me too! wondering though at what time do we have to go do the line for a good spot! I'm in the front pit! where will you be?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

You’re going to have so much fun! It’s a crazy experience but so worth it 🫶 just make sure to be in your line before the VIP cutoff (check email notices for confirmation on timing) ☺️☺️

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

Just responded to your other comment, Gabriella 🫶☺️. You’ll have an amazing spot at front pit!

[@margoragland5236]

Thanks for the detailed info! Question- was there access to any chairs at all on the floor, around the edges/ at the back of the floor area?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

It depends on your stadium. There are no seats on the floor, but front right and front left had access to some seats at the side of the stage (I posted some footage and images to highlight this in Part 2 which is now up!)

[@lorenae6534]

So excited! I have floor right, where would you try to snag a spot? Prob will line up around 5:30 don’t wanna be there too early. Towards the front or back?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

You'll probably have minimal line if you go at that time which is great! I personally enjoyed being towards the end of the stage where she did the Surprise songs when I was front right floor. It gave a great view of the whole show and I wasn't as crowded as people closer to the diamond. Have an amazing time!

[@lorenae6534]

@@RoamAwayFromHome thank you so much! I’ll try to head there when I go :)

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

I just posted a short from our view from this spot during the Fearless Era! kzbin.infogh0GosuOfx0

[@gabriellalorusso106]

TYSM! I want to clarify bc I didn't understand that well... so for VIP floor, how early do we need to get to the line? As in to get a good spot not to use our VIP benefit solely (that part was clear ~345pm). Thanks again!

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

Make sure to check email communication for the specific timing of VIP checkin because although it is usually before 3:45, it could change for your stadium! You’ll get a great spot no matter what when you enter with the VIPs. We were on the barricades and lined up at 13:30-14:00h. I’d plan on finding your line by 13h because sometimes finding the right spot to line up takes longer than you’d expect. Some people will line up suuuuper early but it’s really not necessary for VIP. If you’re front left or right and want to be by the diamond, that’s going to be the most crowded / high demand area. So I’d get in line by 13h. If you don’t mind being slightly outside of the diamond, you could probably get a barricade spot lining up closer to 15h.

[@em-8115]

I’ve got GA for London in August so this is really useful thank you! How far in advance are the last minute tickets released for each show? Is it typically exactly one week before the show? Thanks

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

It actually depends on when the stage is done being built. Because she's already performed there, it might be a little bit earlier. Usually, it's the week of the show and goes up until the day of the show.

[@lex3572]

Question! Im in the US, Do you think itd be better to sit A1 or A6 if that was the only two options? Right next to the stage that small sliver section or the last section on the floor all the way to the right so like theres a section right in front of the end of the stage then a section to the side after that then one more after that thats off to the side at the end of the stage, i cant tell if sitting at the end would be better so you’re facing the show or the A1 which ud be kind of behind her but right next to the stage a lil closer to the diamond and also that section doesnt have as many people in it, idk what to do

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

It really depends on your row. I'd lean towards A6 if it's on the closer edge and front of that section. You'll see everything a lot easier. A1 will be closer to Taylor for songs like Champagne Problems, but you'll also be behind her for a lot of the show. This is why I love the GA floor because you can hop around!

[@chocovore07]

How is the situation for going to the toilet or grabbing food when lining up before entry to the stadium? I saw on numerous photos and videos that there are barricades? Will we still be able to retake our spot in the queue? What about holding spots for our friends who can’t make it as early in the day?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

It always depends on the stadium but we had access to portable toilets within the barricaded area of the line for GA floor. There were also vendors walking around selling food and drinks. Additionally, people would take turns waiting in line with their friends to use the better toilets or get more food. The best way to be able to retake your spot in the queue is to be in line with other people so you can take turns leaving and returning. When you do leave, I'd tell people around you that you're returning but just need to use the toilet or get water. Most Swifties are very understanding of this when it comes to early lines! If you have 1-2 friends you're saving a spot for, that's probably ok but saving for a large group will be difficult, especially as you get closer to 14-15h. If your friends arrive close to 16h, they will likely find themselves at the back of the line and not able to meet up with you. The barricades of the lines make it very difficult to walk past 100s of Swifties just before doors open!

​@@RoamAwayFromHome Thank you so much these details will help me a lot with the planning :) Gelsenkirchen N1 so in 13 days exactly!

[@basaky5251]

Hello, nice video. Do you know if are there any children in the standing area? I'm planning to buy tickets for my 13-year-old sister, she is with me (I'm 18+) do you think it is a problem?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

It depends on the stadium 100%. Some don’t allow anybody under 14 to the entire show (even seats). Some don’t allow under 14 in standing area. Some don’t allow under 14 in standing area without an adult. Some restrict 12 and under. Some 16 and under. You will need to research age restrictions or limitations for the specific show you’re attending! (I know I just responded to your other comment on my other video but I wanted to include my response here too in case someone sees your comment)

[@AlexandraKoceyan]

are the back left and right sides separated? can i move from one side to another?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

Yes, they’re separate and no, you can’t walk between the two! I show maps and some chapter at 4:20 so you can see the setup

[@Chris-g9i]

Hi, thank you so much! So, if I understand you correctly, it’s reasonable to expect that one can sit down until Paramore comes on? And one probably won’t be too wedged in to go to the toilet, right? I‘m thinking, I might stay close to the front until I really can’t take it anymore and then accept that I might have to watch the last part of the concert from the back because I won’t get back to my spot. But my sister said she didn’t want to go to the front because we wouldn’t be able to go to the toilet at all. That’s incorrect, right?

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

Yes, most people sit until just before Paramore (or the first opener, depending on if you’re going to a show with two openers) . People should let you go to the toilet and come back, but it does partly depend on the crowd. Typically, going before Paramore is pretty easy. You may get some looks from people in the back, but if you’re going together, you can save each other’s spots. Make friends with those around you and let it be known you are coming back - I try to go through the same path of people out and in. People recognize you that way and are kind!

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

But you’re absolutely right - hold it as long as you can during Taylor and finish the show off by dancing in the back if you need to use the toilet during her show

[@Chris-g9i]

I’m going to N1 in Zurich and we have VIP floor. How do we get our VIP package since they didn’t mail them? And you suggest that we get in the vip line around 3:00? My son is determined to get right by the barrier. He’s just under 5’0 ft so will he be able to see???

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

The VIP package will be available for pickup at a specific location. Usually, they open it up the day before the shows start so you don't have to get them the same day you go to the show! I would suggest just before 3 for the best chance to get on the barrier. There is more space on the barriers for front left and front right. We arrived at 1:30 and were on the barrier for back field. We could've arrived at 2:30 and been on the barrier too! Make sure to check when your show's VIP check in is! They have been 15h-15:45h for the shows but stadiums have the right to change this. So just really make sure you check email communication ahead of time. I would arrive in your line 30 min BEFORE the VIP check in time. It also takes a while to find your line. I recommend going the day before to pick up your VIP merch and scope out where your line will be :) Hope this helps! I'm 5'3" and my friend is about 5'. We had a great time and view. Part 2 of this series has more tips for kids if you haven't seen it yet :)

You said you got backfield VIP .. is that the GA VIP

[@RoamAwayFromHome]

The GA floor section has three areas - back field, front right, and front left. The name of each section is slightly different for each country depending on the language you're purchasing tickets in. Many 3rd party re-sellers do not differentiate between these sections, but these are all separated. I had back field VIP N1 in Lisboa and front right non-VIP N2. Both are technically GA because they do not have assigned seats. VIP enters the stadium before non-VIP but they are not separated from non-VIP. I hope this helps!

[@shilpish1788]

@@RoamAwayFromHome so in Austria it has front left front right and general admission .. I currently have vip for general admission .. would it be better to get non vip for front right instead ?
