The Daily Mail reports further restrictions, including rules concerning friendship bracelets featuring references to Swift's songs, albums, and lyrics, which are permitted but must be worn on patrons' arms without carabiners or d-rings.

Moreover, according to the Daily Mail, drones and audio recording devices are strictly prohibited, and professional video or photography cameras are not allowed. However, fans are permitted to film the concert on their smartphones.

The list by Frontier Touring also stipulates that attendees should avoid wearing clothing likely to obstruct the view of other concertgoers. Additionally, items such as air horns, speakers, flashlights, and lasers are prohibited and will be confiscated if brought to the concerts. Tents and umbrellas are also not permitted, as reported by Daily Mail.
