Swifties break data record in the Veltins-Arena Gelsenkirchen

In Gelsenkirchen, you are currently celebrating not only the music, but also a remarkable technology trend that was triggered by the first of three concerts by the world stars Taylor Swift. The event on July 17, 2024 not only attracts thousands of fans, but also shows how modern concerts and mobile technologies are intertwined. The city is in a real "Swift fever", which is shown in the renaming to "Swiftkirchen". This phenomenon has far -reaching effects on the local community and the way events will be organized in the future.

Mobile use achieves record values

According to the mobile phone provider O2 Telefónica, the first concert was a prime example of high mobile data use. In total, the approximately 60,000 fans present used no less than 4,000 gigabytes of mobile data volume during the concert. This is a record -breaking number, which even puts the popular appearances of the rock band AC/DC in the shade, which only used 1900 gigabytes in May. This increase shows that Taylor Swift's audience tends to share their experiences online and use social media such as Tikok, Instagram and WhatsApp intensively.

compared to other events

Interesting is the direct comparison with the European Football Championship 2024, which also took place in the Veltins Arena. During a game between Spain and Italy, a consumption of around 2600 gigabytes was determined, which shows that the "Swifties" are clearly in the leadership in terms of mobile use. O2 Telefónica points out that the young, technology -savvy audience of Taylor Swift tends to be more active in the digital world - in contrast to the rather reserved rock fans.

The meaning for the city and the community

The enormously high data consumption during the concert not only demonstrated the technical possibilities of the Veltins-Arena, but also the preference of the younger generations for sharing experiences. This development could be crucial for future events, as organizers must be prepared to meet the technical requirements of their guests. The high demand could also boost tourism and the local economy, because events of this kind not only attract local fans, but also visitors from other cities.

criticism of the organization does not fail to

Despite the positive balance in terms of mobile use and enthusiasm for Swift, there are also dark sides. Some fans critically commented on the organization of the concert, which indicates possible improvement. The high expectations of such a big event could present the organizers with new challenges, especially in logistics and visitor steering. A smooth process will be even more important in the future to meet the expectations of an increasingly digitized audience.

Overall, Gelsenkirchen is at a turning point where music, technology and community are increasingly merge. While the city indulges in Swift fever, new opportunities for cultural events open up that encourage both fans and the organizations to creatively face the challenges and opportunities of the digital world.
