Beyonce's Tottenham stadium bag policy and umbrella ban amidst rain forecast
Beyoncé is taking to the stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight, and despite there being rain forecasted, umbrellas are completely banned Beyoncé's upcoming performances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have been hit with some serious rules. The Grammy Award-winning musician will perform six shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – her first UK shows since her Renaissance World Tour in 2023. But ahead of her first show tonight, Beyoncé will go on to perform on June 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16, following a string of dates across America, where she had performed tracks from her eighth studio album. But just hours before the stadium opens its gates for 62,000 fans, hundreds of tickets are still available to purchase on Ticketmaster. Beyoncé lovers can get their hands on tickets for a seat with a restricted view for just £71, while on Viagogo, members of the BeyHive can pay £54 to secure their place inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening. Fans with a little more cash to splash on last-minute purchases can get themselves a South GA Standing Ticket for £224.85 or £278 for seated in decent areas. Are you heading to see Beyoncé at Tottenham Hotspur? Let us know your thoughts in the comments by clicking here. But just two years ago, Beyoncé sold out every single ticket for her five dates at the same venue. But ahead of the gates opening, bosses at the stadium have released some vital information, including banned items. Most importantly, the stadium will open at 5pm across the string of dates. But if you're hoping to have a drink throughout the night, you need to know that the bar closes at 10.30pm – one hour before the stadium closes. However, it's the bag policy that everybody should be aware of. Personal bags must be A4 or smaller (21cm x 30cm high). Those in attendance are able to use a clear carrier bag (maximum size 30cm long and 30cm high). You mustn't put any personal bags that do not meet the regulated sizes inside those bags, though. Elsewhere, prohibited items, including liquids, bottles, or high-visibility clothing, will not be permitted at the stadium. But despite a fair amount of rain being forecasted over the next couple of days, don't take an umbrella. Bosses have stated that no umbrellas, regardless of size, will be permitted entry into the stadium. They add that while the weather can be unpredictable, fans should dress appropriately for all weathers to ensure comfort. Throughout the stadium, there are 60 food and drink outlets available, including a Korean-inspired eatery, oven-cooked pizzas and a vegan eatery. The stadium offers a strict Challenge 25 policy, so ID will be required. If you're looking to get your hands on merchandise, you will be pleased to know that the merch is open for a long time. On June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16, the merchandise will be available to purchase between 12pm and 11.30pm at the Tottenham experience. On June 6, 8, 9, 11 and 13, it'll be open between 9.30am and 5.30pm. Meanwhile, on June 15, it'll open between 11am and 5pm. There is a strict no re-admission policy – once your ticket has been scanned, you won't be able to re-enter if you choose to leave. However, the turnstiles at the South Stand area will allow fans to enter Park Lane Square, where you can find more food and drink outlets.
