SoFi Stadium Beyoncé Concert: VIP Ticket Holders Report Chaos and Disorganization Los Angeles, CA – April 30th, 2025. A recent Beyoncé concert at SoFi Stadium saw hundreds of VIP ticket holders endure a chaotic and frustrating experience, according to numerous social media posts. One concertgoer, who wishes to remain anonymous, described arriving at 7:00 AM only to have the carefully organized VIP lines ignored by Live Nation staff. "They weren't enforcing the single file line at all," she said, "People were taking the opportunity to jet to the front." The resulting crush and misdirection to incorrect sections added to the negative experience. The concertgoer added, "This is not how you treat people who paid $1800 for the experience." Despite the issues, the concert itself received high praise, highlighting the stark contrast between the pre-show chaos and the quality of the performance. Live Nation has yet to respond to requests for comment regarding the reported issues.
