Before the gates open for the 2024 Eras Tour shows in Edinburgh on June 7 until June 9, Ticketmaster has issued a reminder to fans about one crucial item they should bring.

In its 30 Dos and Don'ts list, Ticketmaster has provided the ultimate pre-show checklist, warning fans to be prepared for phone batteries draining quickly. They suggest an affordable option from Argos, a slim, pastel pink model that can be decorated with stickable gems and easily fits into a bag.
Reduced to £17.99 from £19.99, the Belkin Portable Charger can charge up to three devices simultaneously, thanks to its two USB-A ports and one USB-C port, and offers up to 15W of smartphone power. It's also compatible with most phones, including Google, Apple, Samsung, Huawei and even iPads - although Ticketmaster advises against bringing tablets into the venue, reports the Liverpool Echo.
