Club Renaissance is ‘THAT GIRL’: How to prepare + more experiences like it in Charlotte
Club Renaissance, the opportunity to view Beyoncé’s heart-stopping Renaissance World Tour in Charlotte, exchange looks with Beyoncé’s horse, Reneigh, and experience KNTY 4 News up-close. What gets better?
Queen Bey is sure to give you a show no matter what seat you’ve got on Aug. 9. From performing her own opening acts with songs like “Flaws and All” to the iconic “Just Wanna Rock” dance paired with “Diva,” Charlotteans, you are in for a treat.
If you were able to snag one of the coveted Club Renaissance tickets, you may be swarming with enthusiasm. And to help you prepare, the CharlotteFive team is here to “Cater 2 U.”
What is Club Renaissance?
At Club Renaissance, fans are placed directly in the center of Beyoncé’s circular stage setup.
While these tickets are on the floor, they function a lot like a general admission ticket with standing room only. So, if you’re looking to be right at the barrier, you will want to arrive early.
How can I get tickets?
Using Ticketmaster’s Verified Resale, you can purchase a Club Renaissance ticket for the Charlotte concert for approximately $1,200 as of Aug. 2. And, according to concert-goers via TikTok, guest services might just be able to “Upgrade U.”
What can I expect?
Upon arrival, everyone will have the opportunity to grab merchandise. But if you’re headed to Club Renaissance, you’ll likely receive at least one wristband and a silver goodie bag. In the bag, you’ll find a Renaissance world tour hat and an electric fan, according to @queenbriyonce on TikTok.
You should also be prepared to fangirl as there have been some sightings of Jay Z, Kelly Rowland and more of Beyoncé’s close friends and family during the performance, as seen in a TikTok shared by @envyperu.
Concessions: “Regular stadium concessions will be available on all stadium levels within the footprint of open seating, including various food and beverage options,” Bank of America stadium wrote.
Spacing: There will be plenty of room to move around in Club Renaissance. However, if you are looking to get as close as possible to the stage, arriving earlier may give you a higher chance of finding your ideal spot to view the show.
While Club Renaissance is standing room only, having ample space to dance around will be dependent on where you choose to stand.
Live in the moment: Since you are so close to the stage, bring out your sparkliest and shiniest metallics because you may be spotted by Queen Bey herself while you’re in the Club.
And, please, remember to mute.
