Where to find merch truck
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Swifties have one more stop to make ahead of this weekend’s Taylor Swift concerts in Kansas City.
Her popular merchandise truck will arrive at Arrowhead long before she ever takes the stage.
The Eras Tour merch truck will open to the public beginning Thursday, July 6.
Fans will find the truck in Lot M at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Parking lots open at 8 a.m. Thursday morning. The merch truck will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Thursday will be the only chance for fans without tickets to get their hands on merch from the concert site.
On Friday and Saturday, the merchandise truck will only be open to guests with parking passes and tickets to that day’s show. The truck will open at 2:30 p.m. when parking gates open for the concert.
All guests will be asked to follow signage and staff directions to a designated parking location. No overnight parking or lining up to be the first to reach the truck will be permitted.
Fans going to the concert can also buy merchandise at more than a dozen merch stands inside GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Fans who plan to buy merch, or concessions, inside Arrowhead need to bring a credit or debit card. All sales inside the stadium are cashless. Vendor stands only accept credit cards.
Excitement around the concerts is building.
“I’m going both nights, so that I have the opportunity to take multiple groups of people,” KU Swift Society Founder and President Alexis Greenberg told FOX4 Wednesday.
“So Friday night, I’m going with my dad who has gone to all the Taylor shows with me since I was 10, and I’m taking my little sister, who is 10, so it’s really exciting for her to have her first show.”
Greenberg told us on Saturday, she’s going with a friend who she went to her first show with and her cousin. On Instagram, her society has a list of 20 businesses doing Taylor-themed events this week.
“The city’s obviously making a lot of revenue from it as well. Every hotel from Lawrence all the way to Liberty is booked as well,” she continued.
Hotels as far away as Warrensburg will be booked later this week.
“So some of the road crew of Taylor Swift is staying here,” Warrensburg Comfort Inn Director of Public Relations Donald Peck said in an interview with FOX4 Wednesday.
Peck and his wife Tammy said people are coming to their hotel from Nebraska and Iowa on Friday and Saturday night.
“My front desk clerks are telling me that people are calling about the Taylor Swift concert. ‘Kansas City’s sold out.’ They come here,” Tammy said.
