INDIANAPOLIS — Taylor Swift is coming Indy.

Swift will bring The Eras Tour to Lucas Oil Stadium from November 1-3, 2024, according to a tweet from the artist.

When Swift was in Cincinnati, hotel occupancy surged to 98% and brought over 40 million to the city. According to Visit Indy, it's hard to say how much money the concert will bring to the city, but they expect the impact to be significant.

"We know that Lucas Oil stadium is going to be full. We know that hotels are going to be full. We know restaurants are going to be full. This city is going to be alive that first week in November next year," Nate Swick, with Visit Indy, said.

This will be Swift's first visit to Indianapolis since September 2018 when she played The Reputation Tour. That concert is one that Lucas Oil Stadium says broke a record.

"When she was here in 2018, she set the record at Lucas Oil Stadium for tickets at just over 55,000 seats. I think we are gonna be able to get more in," Eric Neuburger, Stadium Director at Lucas Oil Stadium, said. "So we will see how that goes for three shows in a row."

Lucas Oil says during the NCAA basketball tournament, they seat around 70,000 fans. For the Taylor Swift concert, the number of tickets will depend on the configuration of the stage. However, if you want to get tickets the stadium has some advice.

"Go to TaylorSwift.com, where you are going to be able to register as a verified fan," Neuburger said. "That's really the only way to be sure you are getting authentic tickets. That's what I encourage everyone to do. They have a lot of protocols in place to make sure tickets get in the hands of fans as much as possible. "

Lucas Oil says to avoid scalpers. All of their tickets are digital so don't believe someone when they try to sell you paper tickets.

Registration for tickets is open now. You have to register by Saturday, August 5 to qualify to become a verified fan. Tickets officially go on sale August 11.
