Taylor Swift concert: Know traffic impacts and road closures in Vancouver

With thousands of Swifties expected for the three concerts, BC Place is working with partners, including the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Police Department (VPD), and TransLink to create a safe and enjoyable experience for the Taylor Swift concert in Vancouver.

Those attending the concert or other events downtown are reminded to Stay Stay Stay prepared: plan ahead and allow for extra time to get where they need to go. Anticipate delays especially near BC Place, Rogers Arena and Concord Pacific Place.

Event Access:

BC Place and its surrounding areas will be strictly limited to ticket holders. Fans without tickets are strongly advised to avoid the stadium vicinity on event nights.

Ticket holders are encouraged to enter through the gate stated on their mobile ticket. Anyone who downloaded a ticket onto their mobile device before November 16 is asked to please repeat the download process to ensure their ticket has the most up-to-date information.

Friendship bracelet exchanges are encouraged. However, all bracelets must be worn into the stadium or carried in a bag that abides by the bag policy. Check bcplace.com/taylorswift for the bag policy, full prohibited items list and lots of additional ‘know before you go’ information.

Merchandise sales will be available at an offsite location to both ticketed and non-ticketed fans on December 5-8, 2024. The location will be released next week.

If travelling in, around and out of downtown on the weekend of December 6-8, get ready to Shake it Off as traffic impacts are anticipated with many visitors coming downtown for the concert as well as many other events, games and festivities.
