Leave your tridents at home folks, otherwise they’ll be confiscated…

Taylor Swift will play Croke Park on 15 and 16 June, which is Friday and Saturday next week, in what will surely be a great show for all who attend.

But, there’s a long list of items you can’t bring into the show so take note of below to ensure your entry into the arena is smooth.
