The money for my Eras Tour merch hasn't been debited yet. Will it still be debited after more than a week?
Hi, I was in Munich on the Eras tour on July 27th and saw Taylor Swift live. On July 28th, I bought some merchandise, but the money still hasn't been debited. I paid with an EC card. Will the money still be debited? Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks in advance!! Stella

Why are there two tear-off pieces if I only bought one ticket for two people
How much earlier at Toto concert?
Hello:) I'm going to a Toto concert in Sweden the day after tomorrow and would like to know if anyone here knows or can assess the Swedish concert culture. How early do I have to arrive to get a front row seat? Thanks in advance 🙂
Important, admission underage?
Hello! very important question. I'm 15, and I'm going to a concert at the Lanxess Arena with my dad and a 14-year-old friend. She printed out a mommy's note and her mom's ID. My dad is our chaperone. I don't need a parental consent form then, do I? Go to Cro🥳🥳 Greetings!!
Going to a concert alone or with your brother?
Hey I still have the opportunity to get tickets for Coldplay in Munich through the fansale. I've tried it the last two times in advance and it didn't work. Now I have the option of going alone for €96 or with my brother—that would cost €170 per ticket. What would you do? He would understand,…
I think it is right that the concerts have been cancelled, because this serves to protect all those who would be present. For those who bought tickets and may have traveled from other countries, it is of course a pity. Even if two suspects have already been arrested, there might be more people involved. If you hadn’t canceled the concerts, it could be that something like Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester a few years ago.
As an event engineer, I can only say: Right!
This is no longer about making money with a big event, but about guaranteeing the security of visitors and staff. This can no longer be done under such circumstances.
Even if many fans were excited about it (I would have come too) I can only say that it is better. I know that many Taylor Swift would have liked to see, but people! In a terrorist attack, many people could die and your life is probably more important to you than Taylor, right? And we don’t know if there weren’t any more of the guys who planned the attack.
What is a terrorist attack?
So if people come and stop killing people there
That means stop and not attack but no matter what
The rejection is comprehensible. But, in Austria, we finally need a reasonable policy that will finally tackle these problems of terror, violence and murder. How can it be that these people who commit these frails are even included in Austria. We need better border protection and must finally start with deportation from criminal immigrants! Some Muslim criminals want us to “take away” the Taylor Swift concert and we even let these people grant asylum. I am against deportations from foreigners but for deportations from criminals.
Of course, this is a huge disappointment for all fans who wanted to visit the concert and are also partially far away. But it can only be right to cancel the concerts if there is only the slightest evidence that there have been plans for attacks. Let us imagine it had come to an attack, and after that it would have been known that we had already discovered plans and did not take this seriously enough? So for me this decision is more important than any disappointment. I understand that many are sad. But what would have been in the other case if something had happened?
In view of the threat of danger, it was the right decision to protect the numerous visitors!
Of course, on the other hand, it would be nice if one day we had such a high standard of security that would choke such plans in the germ much earlier, then events could take place and the assassins could not exercise any power in this division, but I think there will never be a 100% security – one can only weigh up!

I think it’s right that they were cancelled because you can’t guarantee people’s safety. It’s a pity for the fans, but better so
Probably the secret services have witnessed a terrorist attack on the concert. 2 fanatic Islamists have already been arrested. That’s right and important.

There were police insights through an apartment search where chemicals were discovered for an attack.
t-onlne: Two people arrested Terror: All Taylor-Swift concerts in Vienna canceled

The Austrian police arrested two terrorist suspects on Wednesday. Your goal: the concerts of Superstar Taylor Swift. These were cancelled.
In Austria, there was a large-scale police operation with two arrests on Wednesday due to the suspicion of a terrorist attack. Among other things, the two men planned attacks at the upcoming concerts by Taylor Swift in Vienna, had confirmed Franz Ruf, Director General for Public Security at the Austrian Ministry of Interior.
As a result, the appearances were cancelled. “Due to the confirmation by government officials about a planned terrorist attack in the Ernst-Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three planned shows on the security of all,” the organizer Barracuda Music announced on Wednesday evening, among others, on his Instagram channel. The concerts were scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each was expected to have around 65,000 fans, in addition to about 10,000 to 15,000 Swift trailers outside the stadium, similar to their recent appearances in Munich.
Chemical substances ensure
The suspected terrorists are, on the one hand, a 19-year-old Austrian, who was arrested in Ternitz in the morning, 75 kilometres southwest of Vienna, according to police data. In his apartment chemical substances were ensured. The police had taken care of explosives foreseeable houses and part of a senior home. The young man radicalized himself on the Internet and, a few weeks ago, laid a fidelity on the top of the terrorist organization “Islamic State” (IS), said Ruf.
A second person was arrested in Vienna in the afternoon. The police did not provide any further information. According to Austrian media reports, further terrorist suspects are expected to face up to date. If Viennese national police president Gerhard Pürstl had previously announced even more intensive controls at the Taylor-Swift concerts on the day, they were eventually cancelled.
Taylor Swift himself hasn’t spoken yet. It should be their last shows on the European mainland before the US singer closes the European part of their “Eras Tour” with five concerts in London. The performances in Vienna are apparently not retrieved. As Barracuda Music writes, all tickets are automatically repaid within the next ten working days.

Taylor Swift wants to play three concerts in Vienna on her Eras tour. But only a few hours before the first show all appearances are cancelled. The organizers fear an Islamist attack. The police are arresting two suspects.
Due to feared terrorist attacks, the organizers cancelled the three forthcoming concerts of the US pop star Taylor Swift in Vienna. “Due to the confirmation by government officials about a planned terrorist attack in the Ernst-Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three planned shows on the security of all,” said the organizer, Barracuda Music, on Instagram. The concerts should take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Vienna.
On Wednesday the arrest of two suspects of terror in Austria was preceded. The main suspect is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen. According to the police findings, the teenager planned attacks in the Greater Vienna area. “We also found that there is a focus of the 19-year-old perpetrator on the Taylor-Swift concerts in Vienna,” said Franz Ruf, Director General for Public Security at the Austrian Ministry of Interior. The young man radicalized himself on the Internet and recently abandoned a fidelity hurdle to the Islamic State (IS).
The 19-year-old was tracked in Ternitz about 75 kilometers southwest of Vienna. Another person was arrested in Vienna. The police did not say in what ratio the two arrested one another or whether they were punished for accomplices.
What exactly the 19-year-old had planned is unclear. Chemical substances had been ensured with him, according to the police. She had searched a house in Ternitz in Lower Austria. There were investigators on site in protective suits. The police had sealed off the building for a long time from worrying about possible explosive traps. Many people had to leave their apartment. A part of a senior home was also cleared.
65,000 tickets sold per night
At the three concerts, 65,000 people were expected in the sold-out stadium as well as around 20,000 fans who would have come to the arena without tickets to listen to the music of their idol from a distance, said Viennese state police president Gerhard Pürstl. The organizer announced to refund the ticket prices in the next days.
“The investigative knowledge gives rise to increased police surveillance,” he said a few hours before the concerts were cancelled. The concrete danger is minimized, but there is still an abstract danger. The police could not cancel such events, the president of the state police told a journalist.
The police had already mobilized anti-terrorist specialists, including civil servants and those with special training and service dogs to secure the concerts. She wanted to monitor the airspace mobile and stationary.
The Austrian Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler of the Greens thanked the investigators. “Terrorists want to scare us and break us apart,” he wrote on the short news service X. “We will not let our way of living destroy us.”

@ Human DNA
I wish these guys a long sentence. I will never submit to such Islamists. They can wait a long time. From me until they get black and lie under the earth.
@ Human DNA
The secret services had nothing to do with it. And maybe this was another part to want to regain total monitoring and enforce. But the number is not running with me! This total surveillance comes away and nothing else.
Too bad how far it has come with Central and Western Europe. There are no such problems in Asia and southern Europe. Probably because there was another course in immigration and the welfare state.
Japan also needs immigrants, but they say quite clearly, only people with their own religion.
That the situation was very serious and one would rather cancel the concerts than risk the very many lives in danger.
sad enough that you have to cancel for such human events…
but was the right decision
Yeah, I know. Not understandable why you just want to kill people I mean it’s just fans who wanted to spend a wonderful evening with taylor…
I find it sober that such measures are necessary because there are such stupid people.
