NSW Police are encouraging the tens of thousands of concertgoers heading to the highly anticipated Taylor Swift concerts to look after one another and plan their trips ahead of the weekend.
Event organisers are expecting large crowds from Friday 23 February 2024 through to Monday 26 February 2024, as the concert takes place at the Sydney Olympic Park ACCOR Stadium.
A high visibility policing operation will be in place for the duration of the event to ensure the safety and security of all event staff, attendees, and the wider community.
Operation Commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said to concertgoers need to plan their trips to avoid any last-minute stress.
"Extra transport services will be made available this weekend and we encourage concertgoers to utilise them," Acting Assistant Commissioner Holland said.
"With large crowds moving in and around the stadium, those who do not have a ticket are urged to stay away from the Sydney Olympic Park precinct to avoid creating unnecessary congestion."
"Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated, and police will act in a fair but firm manner to ensure everyone has a good time but not at the expense of other people's safety, so take care of one another. "
Acting Assistant Commissioner Holland also reminded the community that drones are not permitted to be operated within the Sydney Olympic Park for the duration of the police operation and breaching these rules can lead to fines, or even gaol.
"We'd prefer that everyone avoids these penalties and instead has a safe and enjoyable time at the concerts this weekend," Acting Assistant Commissioner Holland said.
