taylor swift is coming to levi's next friday and saturday. stadium sent out an alert yesterday saying taylor-gate, or tailgating, before the concert will not be allowed. it also said that there will be no public viewing area set up outside the venue either. other stadiums have allowed listening areas in the past outside their venues for people without concert tickets. swifties say it's unfair. they point out there are plenty of 49er fans outside levi's on game days and even those without football tickets, and some of them are even tailgating. >> they're still in the parking lot while we're in the game. that's happened before. i mean, i don't see really what the difference would be then because i'm sure not everybody in that 49er parking lot is going to the game, especially those guys bringing those big screen tvs and they hang out. >> joining us now from levi's stadium is our own damian trujillo. what's the issue here? why are people without tickets being asked to stay away? >> reporter: well, levi's stadium has not been able to explain the r

at levi's stadium are no exception. sold out, but without any kind of detailed explanation, levi's has banned all tailgating. and if you don't have a ticket to the show, you won't be able to get anywhere near the stadium. marissa lopez came to levi's to buy some 40 niners merchandise, but she is puzzled as to why tailgating is allowed for football games, but not for the taylor swift concerts. personally, i think, you know, they should allow tailgating for any event, you know, especially if they're allowing it for the games. they should allow it for any other event that should be held at levi's stadium stadium management says the move is to protect guests and stadium workers, saying in a statement, tailgating is prohibited for the taylor swift concert and there will be no designated viewing areas outside of levi's stadium. fans without event tickets will not be permitted to congregate in parking areas or on the streets. you're going to the taylor swift concert? yes, i'm going to be working actually. nicole lang has also
