How early are fans allowed to arrive at stadium for the Beyoncé concert in Charlotte?

The time has finally come for Beyoncé to bring her Renaissance World Tour to Charlotte.

The global superstar will be performing Wednesday, Aug. 9 at Bank of America Stadium.

It’s her only tour stop in the Carolinas — and the first time she’s performed in Charlotte in nearly a decade — so thousands of fans from around the region will be in town for the big show.

While the concert doesn’t start until that evening, BeyHive fans will likely be out near the stadium hours beforehand.

When does the show start and when do the doors open for fans?

Beyoncé’s concert will begin at 8 p.m. but a stadium spokesperson told The Charlotte Observer that there will not be a supporting act, so those going to the concert are encouraged to arrive early to avoid long lines.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and V.I.P. early entry is 6 p.m.

All three gates at the stadium will be open to those going to the show. All entry into the stadium will be through mobile tickets, so fans should be prepared to have those easily accessible. PDF tickets will not be valid to get inside.
