INDIANAPOLIS — Officials with the City of Indianapolis have released new information on Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concerts happening at Lucas Oil Stadium from Nov. 1-3.
Officials say the economic impact from the concerts is anticipated to be a nine-figure number. Hotels are virtually sold out, priced at three times the average daily rate at this time last year.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to travel to the Hoosier state from across the country for the Eras Tour. Visit Indy says 81% of tickets were purchased from people residing outside of the state.
IMPD is encouraging everyone to plan ahead and allow extra time to get downtown due to an increase in traffic.
A rideshare pickup zone on South Street between Missouri and West Streets will operate from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday through Sunday. Additionally, a parent pickup zone will be at a lot near Delaware and South Streets during that time.
