Beyonce faces empty seats at London Stadium

Beyonce and Jay Z on the run tour comes to the London Stadium tonight and Saturday night. It follows the recent success of the Rolling Stones tour which saw 115,000 rock fans attend the venue.

However, like many West Ham games, there might be lots of empty seats this evening. Touts reportedly gave away free tickets for previous shows as the power couple struggle to fill arenas on their tour.

The couple took their world tour to Cardiff last week, but despite excitement from several of their loyal fans, reports suggest the duo were unable to sell out their gig there, as well as in several other cities.

Female fans are also up in arms about Beyonce’s no bag policy at the stadium. Organisers wrote to ticket holders saying “the tour requests that no bags are to be brought to the stadium for this show, if a bag does need to be bought it should be no longer bigger than a small women’s handbag”
