FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The 2023 Gillette Stadium Concert Series presented by Dunkin’ will feature a venue-record 10 total concerts, which will get underway with three sold-out nights of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour on May 19, 20 and 21. With just one month to go until the start of the 2023 Concert Series, Gillette Stadium officials would like to remind fans attending shows this summer of important ticketholder information and policies in place at the stadium. Ticketholders are also encouraged to visit their specific concert’s event guide at GilletteStadium.com for additional information.

ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME FOR TRAVEL TO GILLETTE STADIUM

Stadium officials strongly encourage fans to allow themselves plenty of time when traveling near the stadium on event days. Traffic restrictions will be in place on local roads before and after each show. Fans who use local roads will experience delays in arrival time due to road closures that are not captured by traffic and navigation apps. Fans must use I-95, I-495 or Route 140 to access Route 1 and Gillette Stadium.

PARKING

Parking lots open four (4) hours prior to the start of each show, and close immediately after each event concludes. Gillette Stadium offers general parking for all ticket holders. General parking is located on the opposite side of Route 1 from the stadium and is included in the price of the event ticket. Ticketholders arriving from the south should utilize the two left lanes to access general parking. Please note that a parking pass is not required for general parking. For ticketholders wishing to park on the stadium side of Route 1, prepaid parking passes are available for $35. In order to purchase a prepaid parking pass, ticketholders must use the same email address that their event tickets are associated with. Ticketholders may only purchase one prepaid parking pass per account per event. Please note that prepaid parking passes are limited and are subject to availability.

TAKE THE TRAIN TO CONCERTS AT GILLETTE STADIUM

The MBTA Commuter Rail and Keolis will be providing round-trip, special event trains from Boston and Providence to concerts at Gillette Stadium all summer long.
