The long-awaited moment for Swifties has finally arrived as Taylor Swift‘s sensational Eras Tour makes its way to the Bay Area. Taking the stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara for two sold-out concerts, the pop superstar kicked off the electrifying event on Friday, with another show set to enthrall fans on Saturday.
Excitement filled the stands as ticketholders eagerly gathered to witness their favorite artist’s live performance. Meanwhile, those without tickets found solace around the stadium, engaging in the joy of trading bracelets while tunes of their beloved hits resonated in the air.
For attendees, here’s some essential information about the shows. The parking lot opens at 2 p.m., followed by the gates at 4:30 p.m., leading up to the main concert scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Swift’s recent performances during the tour have been spectacular, featuring a staggering 45-song setlist lasting over three hours. Adding to the anticipation, Gracie Abrams and HAIM will enchant the audience as the opening acts for both Santa Clara shows.
Given the expected traffic, delays, and road closures, concert-goers are strongly encouraged to utilize public transit. To accommodate Northern California fans, Capitol Corridor has introduced promotions and adjusted schedules, while Caltrain will provide an additional post-event train on both nights.

Anticipating a record turnout, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has taken extensive measures, offering 30% more light-rail train cars than ever before for any event hosted at Levi’s Stadium.
For those connecting via BART at the Milpitas Transit Center, rest assured that VTA and BART staff will collaborate to ensure seamless transportation for passengers.
As tickets sold out swiftly on Ticketmaster, resale prices have soared over $1,000 on platforms like StubHub, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to issue a consumer alert about ticket scams that have plagued the tour.
As you gear up for the event, be mindful of Levi’s Stadium’s bag policy, which only permits clear bags no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or small clutch bags no bigger than 4.5″ x 6.5″. Expect a sea of glitter, vibrant colors, and numerous Swift-themed outfits among the lively crowd. Friendship bracelets have also become a cherished tradition at the shows, with even San Jose Mineta International Airport staff joining in, trading their handmade SJC-branded bracelets with travelers.
While tailgating won’t be allowed outside the stadium, the atmosphere inside is sure to be unforgettable for all those lucky enough to attend. For those without tickets, congregating in the stadium’s parking lots or nearby streets unfortunately won’t be permitted.
