Taylor Swift in Indianapolis: Here's all the must-know details

There’s a lot to know when one of the biggest superstars in the world visits your city, and we’ve covered it all.

The autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place means Taylor Swift is only days away. In case it’s all been a little overwhelming, we’ve put together a guide wth some key info and links to find more.

When is Taylor Swift in Indianapolis?

Swift will be here for three shows the first weekend of November – Nov. 1-3. She is performing at Lucas Oil Stadium in Downtown Indy. These are her final shows in the US before she wraps up her Eras Tour in Canada.

How to get Taylor Swift tickets for Indianapolis

Although face-value tickets have been sold out for some time, they may still be possible for a dedicated few. The tour is known to do additional ticket drops in the days and hours leading up to each show, giving fans the opportunity to take their chances once again with the Ticketmaster queues. Some fans have studied these drops closely, and we’ve rounded up their findings here.

Tickets are still available on resale sites, but of course at prices well above face value. They did start to dip a bit a few weeks out from the shows, but waiting to see if that trend continues could definitely backfire.

If you’re feeling lucky, there are a few ticket giveaways including Colts owner Jim Irsay. Here’s how to enter for those.

During the tour, some fans actually found it cheaper or similarly priced to fly overseas to see her than to pay resale prices in their home city, but that option has likely ended. Face-value tickets for her Canadian shows are currently sold out and resale prices are similar to Indianapolis.

Where to park for Taylor Swift shows

There are a number of helpful apps to help secure a parking spot if you’re heading to the shows or just want to be in the area for the festivities.

Will the Lucas Oil Stadium roof be open for Taylor Swift? Can you hear her without tickets?

The roof was closed when Swift visited in 2018 and it is expected to be closed again for these shows. The roof closed, along with the open-air window, means fans hoping to gather outside likely won’t hear very well if at all.

Public transit for Swift shows

A spokesperson for IndyGo said bus schedules and routes would not be changed the weekend Swift is in town, meaning some lines might not be available for late-night riders.

The concerts will likely end around 11:30 p.m. Here’s what IndyGo public transit options are available that late at night.
