Taylor Swift Eras tour: Everything you need to know about her Dublin show from stage times, tickets and travel (2024)

The Shake It Off singer will play the final of her three blockbuster Eras Tour dates before heading back to Europe.

She was treated to fans chanting “ole, ole, ole” for a lengthy period during Saturday’s show.

Swift told the audience: “Oh my god, here’s the thing, we’ve done like I dunno, we’ve done like 110 shows on this tour, something like that and like this … this is the first time like, I really don’t know what to say, my band and I are just looking at each other with our mouths hanging open.

“That was actually crazy, like we’re trying to be prepared, but we’re not prepared for the level that you’re on, Dublin.”

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of her Dublin gigs.

Are tickets still available?

Have you been living under a rock? Swifties around the globe are still recovering from the so-called Ticketmaster war of 2023 when fans battled fiercely to secure coveted Eras Tour tickets.

However, occasional resale tickets do appear on Ticketmaster.ie – often at exorbitant prices. If the FOMO becomes unbearable, keep an eye out there – but remember, only buy tickets from accredited sources.

Who is the support act?

American pop-punk icons Paramore, known for hits like Misery Business, Still Into You, and Ain’t It Fun, will ignite the stage for Swift.

What time should I arrive?

Doors open at 5pm, with Paramore kicking things off shortly after. Taylor Swift is expected to take the stage around 7.15pm.

The concert consistently runs for 3 hours and 20 minutes and the curfew for Dublin for the show to wrap up is 10.45pm.

Ticket holders are advised to be inside at the Dublin 4 venue at least 45 minutes before the show starts at 6pm.

Strictly no early queuing or camping permitted.

VIP package ticket holders will be granted access shortly before general doors.
