Taylor Swift fans attending her upcoming Wembley Stadium shows in London have been informed that their seats may have changed after a terror plot was foiled by police in Vienna during the week.
Fans are being contacted to say their original spots may have been altered and they will be seated in a new spot in Wembley Stadium. Taylor is expected to perform to 500,000 over five nights between August 15th and August 20th when her Eras tour returns to the UK.
The singer is keen to press ahead with her performances in London after the terror plot lead to three dates in Austria being cancelled. After a number of fans were contacted about changes to their booking, Swifties have been taking to social media to discuss the updates. A TikTok video shared by Gab_N_Go shared a message from one fan who has been told that their seat has been moved 10 rows further back.
The social media influencer said: “What’s confusing to me is those were tickets that I could see online based off of the view from my seat, and also on TikToks, that people were sitting in the same section – honestly probably in the same rows – that we were going to be seating in, and had no problems. This message seemed very generic… it basically said that they’re changing something about the layout, about the rigging for this concert.”
A spokesperson has told TMZ that the changes made were not connected to the terror plot in Vienna but due to sightline issues, with fans originally sat in places with obstructed views. When Taylor performed at Wembley in June, there were a number of fans who complained that lighting rigs and VIP tents had obstructed their view, leading to this review of seating at the stadium.
