You Can Dress Up, But...
AMC says that fans attending the film will get "mini posters" while supplies last. They can also buy snacks that come in souvenir cups and popcorn tins, ranging in price from $9.89 to $19.89 (like the Taylor Swift album 1989...get it?)
"Experience the global phenomenon and get a free official mini poster," AMC noted. "Supplies are ample but will go fast!"
This week, AMC released details and guidelines on what's allowed.
Guidelines For Attending The Film:
- Taylor Swift Eras attire and friendship bracelets are "strongly encouraged." Masks (except standard face masks used for health purposes) are not allowed.
- They "encourage dancing and singing throughout this concert film event, but please do not dance on our seats or block other guests from viewing, safely walking or exiting the auditorium."
- You can take selfies and group photos, but not record the film.
