So, no worries if you weren’t one of the lucky few to snag tickets to The Eras Tour, because now you’ll be able to catch it in theaters.

The release of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour to theaters won’t be a one or two-night release, so don’t worry about being able to snag tickets. The film is set to play at every AMC location in the United States at least four times a day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through its initial run. The film will also be available to view on Imax and Dolby Cinema so that fans can access a truly immersive experience. AMC is also acting as a distributor on the project, allowing other theaters to show the film, such as Regal and Cinemark locations. Tickets for the film are $19.89 for adults, a fitting price considering the October release of her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album, and $13.13 for seniors and children. However, those hoping to view the film on Imax or Dolby Cinema will have to pay more.
In Swift’s announcement this morning, she noted that “The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far[…]”. And soon you will be able to experience that electric touch in a theater near you. And don’t worry, if you think you missed your opportunity to dress as your favorite era or exchange friendship bracelets, you haven’t, as Swift noted: “Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing [are] encouraged…”.
This new theatrical release will certainly be a boon for theaters as the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes wear on, delaying film releases. It looks to be another large-scale theatrical event in the vein of Barbie, which, along with Taylor Swift’s The Era Tour, broke records this summer. The film is directed by Sam Wrench, who previously worked on such concert films as Billie Eilish Live at the O2, and Lizzo: Live in Concert. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will run for 2 hours and 45 minutes, clocking in about thirty minutes shy of her typical set length during her live tour this summer.
