Ticket's to Taylor Swift's UK Eras Tour go on general sale this week and thousands of fans will be fighting for a chance to see their idol perform live on stage. It's one of the most talked-about music tours in recent history after the pop superstar announced 13 shows in England, Scotland and Wales for summer 2024.
The Anti-Hero singer will be bringing her highly-anticipated Eras Tour to the UK for three shows at Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield Stadium, three at Liverpool's Anfield Arena, one night at Cardiff's Principality Stadium and six shows at London's Wembley Stadium.
Only fans who registered by the June 22 deadline and were randomly-selected to receive a unique access code will be able to try for general sale tickets between Monday, July 17 and Wednesday, July 19 (you can find a full list of ticket release dates and times here). But there are rules that all concert hopefuls must follow if you're planning to attend one of Taylor's UK shows.

See below for a breakdown of the key rules to follow if you're trying for tickets - from purchase limits and a warning from Ticketmaster to age restrictions and banned items for each stadium...
Ticket limit explained for Taylor Swift's UK Eras Tour
Fans are being limited to a maximum of four tickets for the Eras Tour. It's in an effort to give as many people as possible a chance to get tickets for the tour.
Ticketmaster and AXS previously stated that up to four tickets could be bought per access code, but this left some fans confused as to whether they could use the same code across different venues. Concert-goers who took part in the presale were able to successfully purchase up to four tickets in total across different shows using the same access code.
For example, two tickets for Liverpool and two tickets for London can be purchased using the same access code. However, only one code can be processed during each transaction.
Ticketmaster previously warned fans who try to flout the limit that they could face their bookings being cancelled without notice. Responding to enquiries on Twitter, the ticket-seller said: "Persons who exceed the ticket limit of four may have any or all of their orders cancelled without notice by Ticketmaster at its discretion. This includes orders associated with the same name, email address, billing address, credit card number or other information."
Age restrictions for Taylor Swift's UK Eras tour
Each of the four stadiums hosting Taylor Swift on her tour has their own age restrictions in place for fans who are attending. These are outlined below.
Liverpool's Anfield Stadium does not allow attendees aged under two years and children aged under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult over the age of 18. The venue's standing area is not suitable for children under 14.
Ticketmaster cautions fans: "Liverpool Football Club reserves the right to remove any child, who in the opinion of LFC, appears to be under 16 years of age [or 14 years if standing] and unaccompanied."
Cardiff's Principality Stadium will not permit children aged five and under in the arena for its Taylor Swift shows. No under-12s will be allowed in the standing areas and all concert-goers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.
In Edinburgh, the BT Murrayfield Stadium has said no one under the age of five is allowed at these events and under-14s are not allowed on the pitch. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged over 18 and there is a maximum ration in place of four under-16s to one adult in a group.
And for London's Wembley Arena, no one under the age of five is allowed to attend the Eras Tour gigs. No one under the age of 14 will be allowed on the pitch and all under-14s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.
