Vienna Prepares for Taylor Swift Concerts

Preparations are already underway for three concerts by US pop superstar Taylor Swift at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna.

Around 67,000 fans are expected for each of the three sold-out dates on August 8, 9 and 10. Many of the preparations are being kept secret, with stadium officials declining to give interviews.

The football pitch’s 8,000-square-metre grass turf has already been removed and transported outside in 100 individual rolls, with each roll weighing up to 1,000 kilograms.

Once everything is in place regarding the stadium’s technology and security, the staff will hand over the keys to the organisers, who will then ready the stadium for the influx of ‘Swifties’.

Last week, the Vienna Business Agency reported that Swift’s concerts – part of her record-breaking “Eras Tour” – are expected to generate up to €100 million for the city’s economy.
