00:13 Eager and emotional fans lined up from early in the afternoon to get inside as soon as

00:22 bracelets.

00:23 So, so excited.

00:41 Millions of people of course tried to get tickets to the ERA's tour and millions of

00:45 people missed out.

00:47 Those unlucky ones gathered in Yarra Park with picnic rugs and snacks to be part of

00:51 the atmosphere and hear what they could of the music.

00:54 Just as Taylor started singing, those fans ran towards the MCG doors to hear as much

01:09 for fans who were inside.

01:15 next weekend.
