Warning to Swifties: too much bejewelling could be trouble when you walk in … at B.C. Place [Video]

Swifties heading to any of the final three Eras Tour shows in Vancouver this weekend be warned: too much bejewelling could spell trouble, trouble, trouble.

The caution comes directly from the head of B.C. Place, where megastar Taylor Swift hits the stage Friday, Saturday and Sunday for three sold-out concerts.

B.C. Place has a clear bag policy that bans fans from bringing non see-through bags into the stadium for security reasons.

“The problem with putting coverings or stickers, or bejewelling a clear see-through bag, is that it quickly becomes not a clear see-through bag, which will then be denied,” B.C. Place general manager Chris May said. 

“If someone bejewels something on their bag that’s 3.5 by 4.5 inches and only one side that’s going to be OK. But not a fully decorated bag that’s no longer clear.”

Signage for the three upcoming Taylor Swift shows at B.C. Place is seen on Wednesday, Dec. 4. (Ben Nelms/CBC)
