Swifties Padati Wembley Ahead Of Taylor Swift's Concert After Terror Planned Attack In Vienna
JAKARTA - Fans arriving at Taylor Swift's concert in London said solidarity among Swifties helped dispel the security concerns they experienced after their Vienna concert was canceled last week.
The American songwriters returned to London before his Eras tour that broke records returning to North America.
Three of its events in Vienna were canceled after the terror plan of the attack was thwarted by authorities, leaving around 195,000 fans plagued by sadness, anger and distrust.
Some of them rushed to buy tickets for dating in London, which is available at a price of around 690 pounds (886 US dollars) on the sales site.
Iggy Wilde, 28, said he had never considered selling his tickets after security concerns in Vienna.
"I think there are concerns. Obviously worrying," he said.
"The main thing I feel is that Swifties has united and there is a real sense of solidarity between us that I think makes me not afraid," he said.
Fans who arrived at Wembley, wearing cowboy posets and hats, his arm was covered in a friendly bracelet ready to be exchanged for another Swifties.
Security staff checked their tickets before they started queuing to enter the stadium.
Although British police said there was no indication the events in Vienna would have an impact on the show at Wembley, tight security was seen in the stadium.
Tay-gating, which is gathering outside Swift's ticketless show, as thousands of people in Munich did last month, will not be allowed.

Authorities are trying to reduce risks that are more difficult to control outside the premises.
Fans will enter with metal detector checks and are only allowed to carry one small bag.
Glass and metal containers, laptops and umbrellas are all prohibited.
Swift has not publicly commented on the incident in Vienna, but she said her biggest fear was a risk to her fans following the bombing of the Manchester Arena in northern England after Ariana Grande's concert, and the shooting of a concert in Las Vegas in 2017.
