i made fun of MYSELF in this video so this is a judgement free zone!! my only vices are sugary stuff and concerts so if you think spending $$$ on live music is a waste I PROMISE YOU i don't need to know 🤗 Also: i have been instructed to provide a more accurate time - the platform was used for 2 minutes and 36 seconds.🙂

“I’m crying because I don’t do spontaneous things.” Is the most relatable sentence I’ve heard in my life. Because - ME. 😂

The Age of Pleasure did not get NEARLY the recognition it deserves and that concert was phenomenal

I had this exact same experience!! My bestie and I were soooo deflated because of it. Still had fun, but yeah the wind was snatched from our sails. The stage did all of that just so she could walk around the ring one (1) time!! Makes me wanna file a class action and demand compensation in the form of tickets to the Club Cowboy experience.

you shouldnt even have to pay for tickets man you were part of the last concert tour you should be getting vip seats from beyonce herself for the rest of your life 😔

My (current 😌) budget LOVES to be up in the atmosphere close to Jesus 🙌🏾 so I GET it! 😆😅😂🤣

As someone whose vices are also sugar and concerts, I would be pissed! It's bad enough that we are at the mercy of the hellscape known as Ticketmaster, but to spend all that money and not even be able to see most of the show is criminal.

That Age of Pleasure album STILL has me in a chokehold.

tbh being up in the atmosphere is where it's at for a proper stadium show -- like those shows are really built for the back of the house? i bought the cheapest tickets i could find for ts. there were only 2 rows behind us and then it was just SKY. honest and truly, i do not feel like i should have spent a single penny more than i did bc the show was so fucking BIG that it felt right to take it all in like that. i say this as someone who will get spendy on a concert, but i feel like anyone designing a show for a football stadium is truly designing a show for the atmosphere seats.

Giiiiiirl I was looking down at Beyonce like from a 75 degree angle😂

I saw The Age of Pleasure tour, and it was absolutely stunning! Janelle did two encores, and one of them was just her rolling around on the stage making the audience sing the song. What a Babe!

I wanna see Missy Elliott’s concert for sure💜#afrofuturism

This is exactly why I prefer the 1st bowl over floor seats, the only time I take floor seats is if I’m front row cause I’m not dealing with people taller than me or any obstructions

Had the very same experience in Vegas, we were blocked by like a tall structure, like a beam. Was literally hold back tears at the customer service desk, dressed as a renaissance painting- they re-sat us in the clouds, and while the crowd near us was trash, the show was incredible.

you are the funniest person in existence! you are essentially crestfallen about your first experience, but your retelling of it? i was in pieces laughing.

BIG hugs from a cousin in Denmark! Took a flight to see her for the first time in my life in Stockholm with my best friend and also ended behind said structure, but because we were standing and the crowd moved a lot we could actually see okay .. but the disrespect from that structure when the show really unfolded was heartbreaking. I'm so happy you got to see it from the sky!! 😭💖

Omg your look at the concert was EVERYTHING!

Those of us who were on the left side need to be compensated! 😭 I went to a London show and avoided looking at videos of the show that were posted online before I went so I could get the "full experience", but had I taken a few views, I probably would've known she spent most of the time on the right side of the stage. 😩

IMMACULATE storytelling 👌

Yall I was at DC Night 2 and I had NEVER seen rain like that in my life. Lightning and downpouring rain in and off again. Thank God Beyoncé came on at 9 pm and entered majestically with Dangerously in Love and sang her heart out the entire night! Plus we were the first city to win to the Mute challenge and the rain visuals looked amazing. One part of me was jealous of my friends that had the perfect weekend for Night 1, but we had all the drama and exciting story to tell so we won lolll

I flew in from Costa Rica for Houston night 1. It was EVERYTHANG. I was on the first row up on the right hand side. Great view. But I'm 49 and I wished the show was 45 minutes shorter. 😆

Bey said "You are the visual, baby" for real. 🤣 As always, thanks for the laughs and prayers for your reimbursement 😅

Oh that’s so tragic, esp after spending all that money 😭😭 I’m so sorry not just for you but for everyone in your section

I could actually see the show from the clouds ☁️😂😂😂😭

I never buy floor seats to anything bc I’m short and all my life I had to fight! 😅 I prefer the atmosphere seats so I can see over ppl. However, I did floor seats for Janet Jackson a few years ago and loved it bc we were front row!

I was at the NYC Night 2 show. She got this GORGEOUS pink coat for “I’m That Girl”. Blue Ivy opened her jacket to the “New York” tshirt. I was up in heaven and it was BEAUTIFUL.

I was at that same Houston show! Our seats were in the nosebleeds sooo far on side of the stage we couldn’t even see the screens😭 Watched the movie in complete shock bc I never saw like half of what was happening down on the stage

I’m so glad I sold my floor seats and settled for the 400 section. I was squinting but it was a good time.

Yeah I had gotten floor seats to her first OTR Tour and was like never again. There weren’t any structures, but I’m short af (5’1) and once everybody started standing on their chairs, I couldn’t see a thing. Nothing. Not one thing. I was livid. So, lesson learned! I don’t mind the nosebleeds! Long as I can see, I’m good!

I also did an impulse buy and got a ticket the day before her last concert in Atlanta. Up until then I wasn't gonna go because I said no way was I going to pay that much for a ticket, however I got caught up in the hype. I was in the balcony but I bought my ticket on Seat Geek which I highly recommend. It gives you 3D views of seats from the stage and tells you which ones have limited views, so I was able to make an informed decision and enjoy the experience!

I was honestly disappointed in the stage design. It was clear that it was built to look good on film and not for the concert experience. It also surprised me that she didn’t have any side screens for those with side seats, especially since the stage was recessed in the middle and she spent a lot of time there. She sounded fantastic though!

I was the same way with that album. Non stop listening for a year. I can't even remember what forced me to lift my head and listen to something else lol.

Mine was the exact opposite experience! Bought cloud seats for her first show in my city, was miserable the whole time (it's scary up there! the room shakes when the music starts and i felt it in my body! the audience's screams rise to the top of the building and enter into my pores!). I bought floor seats (impulse buy, should have hesitated) and got to enjoy the show with my feet on the ground a few nights later. But since Beyonce took so many of my hard earned doll hairs last year, I truly CANNOT purchase another concert ticket (but obv I will go see Janet this summer)

these q&a vids are so cozy and nostalgic! it has the same humourous storytelling vibes as your early-mid 2010s viddies. i'm sorry you were beyblocked by that structure tho 😭 i had a similar experience during paramore last yr, i was right up the stage but in the wing seats on the left, half my vision was obstructed by Stage Stuff. Gah!

Girl!!! I was off way to the side & couldn’t see much of her and nothing of the screen. I didn’t see a single visual until I went to see Renaissance in theaters. I was LIVID.

We got one of my friends tickets bc she too only listened to that album for a year but I couldn’t afford to get my own tickets. I drove her and just listened outside the stadium and it was lovely

This is why I hate floor seats lol unless you’re front row you can’t see forreal!

That is so gutting! I think there were a lot of notes Beyonce and her team can apply to any future shows she does because some of the seating options weren't it. The Alien Superstar riser basically being on the floor after being advertised as being raised seating was wild to me, and having your view blocked by parts of the stage should've been noted in advance! Saying that, I had a great time at the show. I got club renaissance tickets in edinburgh, and literally had the time of my life. I'd get floor seat tickets again in future to whatever the equivalent is to the club renny section. I got a seated ticket for london too, and while it was nice to see the whole stage from a bit of a distance, it just doesn't compare to being up close

Love the alt look you did! I saw you in New Orleans!!! I def yelled to you that I watch your videos while trying to get to my section. I'm glad you had a better experience here! ⚜⚜ I annoyed the people next to me in my sky seats because I was up singing and dancing most of the concert💃🏾💃🏾

I’m so sorry that the dang structure ruined your time! I was at Houston N2 in the nosebleeds of all nosebleeds (literally like two rows from the very back wall of the whole stadium) and it was the time of my life! We won the mute challenge AND the surprise bonus mute challenge! I hope Houston treats you better next time 🩷🩷

Lol yup, our tickets were above the floor and we saw very well. Took my daughter for her 11th birthday, we had a ball. Very memorable experience even though Bey was suuuper late

My SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE in Las Vegas! I stared at the screen the whole time from my FLOOR SEAT and watched one of the twins do his thing for 2.5 seconds but that same damn platform was blocking our view the whole time.

I too had obstructed view and logged on to TikTok a few times during the show to see certain parts.

We had such similar experiences. In New York (New Jersey lol) we had seats that were so off to the side that we couldn't see the screens at all. Half of the show was the visuals. My sister and I immediately started plotting and ended up in New Orleans too. We were so high up in the Superdome. It felt like we could touch the ceiling but we had a great time.

I bought floor seats to a Prince concert. There were 2 two tall body builders standing in front of me the whole time. That taught me my lesson about floor seats. Since then, I've never bought floor seats.

I’m excited for the Roots Picnic! It’ll be my first year attending and my first music festival!

I’ve never been here before lol. Came up in my recommendations. You’re so cute and funny!! I can relate - going to the RWT in Louisville, I think we were like the only city where Blue was NOT there 😂 - I was upset? I’m not even from Louisville, I drove down there for that. The show was a day before my bday and my ticket was a gift/regift from my then manager who wanted me to go real bad since the other girls were going to Detroit and I wasn’t invested in going at the time… my seat was higher up lol. Anywho, I’m going to check out more of your channel!

Oh love the dedication with the La Croix painting! Only just noticed it now.

Initially I wasn’t goin, just wasn’t feasible in the budget. But my bestie, who lives in ANOTHER STATE, bought me a ticket for my bday which was like 10 days before my city. I went alone, sat way up and to the side 😂😂. Had a BLAST! And, it poured rain all night. Never phased me, I was in Beyoncé bliss for 2.5 hrs. Ahhhhhh, such a great memory. 🙂 Glad N.O. got u rite Ev. 💕🐝

I will BALL👏🏾OUT👏🏾 on live music experiences so your dedication is ME. I saw her in Seattle and paid for the BEST 🤣🤣🤣

I had a similar experience in DC. We were just before the nosebleeds on the far right side. So we missed out on the view of the stage from the same level but closer to the center. I only went a second time because my mom wanted to go so we got the upper center seats in California, that was the best gift my mom gave me. ❤

ommgg nooo,, we should cousin-team up and complain to customer support for you to get reimbursement!!! i feel it though, i saw Kendrick during the Damn tour and due to being smol i saw him legit only when he was on that lift for like half a song 😭 and the whole crowd was soooo mad that - again due to being smol - i lost sovereignty over my body and was moved from middle/back right, to second barrier left to centre to left back while getting a nose bleed from someone's hip hop hand lmao

This video sent me back to that night in Kansas City! I was looking goodt and had a great ass time in my section with my friend DaCosta. What a time we had!

OMG you had the same seating tragedy that I did!! I saw her in Dallas and legit almost fell to my knees when I saw the staircase!!! I kept hoping it would go move down until the time came where she made her walk around the circle. I was and still am SICK. I sat in row 1 seat 1, so the staircase literally cut off 75% of the stage for me. I watched MAJORITY of the show from 25% of the screen.

This is why I like the level right above the floor. I’m soooo sorry, Evelyn. I’m glad you can make humor out of it now. 😭 I cannot believe we were at the same show in New Orleans!

Going to see Jesse McCartney in a few hours and I'm so excited! This is healing my inner child whose skepitcal immigrant parents wouldn't let her go to any concerts 😭😭😭

I too was in the clouds for her Jersey concert 😌 but i had a good ole time dancing and singing with everyone 🐝

This literally happened to me during FWT!! My sister and I got a VIP package, assuming those would also have good seating. But we were on the far right side of the stage and could barely see anything happening on that huge box, which was the focal point of the set! There was also a big speaker that we had to crane our necks around. We ended up buying tickets for another show in the state. I have not splurged on pricy tickets since.

It's good you put this experience on the internet. There's always room for improvement.

I actually ended up getting floor seats for the Sunday Houston show last minute too! Thank god the stage didn’t block the view and it was far enough back that I could see everything 🙌🏽

I bought my tickets to the 3rd Atlanta show the day off. I wasn’t going but my cousin was like, let’s go and we did. Tickets were way up but for a great price with a good view, and we met some cool people and had a great time. I’m excited for the Missy, Ciara, and Busta Rhymes concert in ATL in July!

I had a different bad experience. DC Night 2 it poured all damn night. Oh and because I had no floor seats I was soaking wet. That coupled with the intense humidity inside the venue there were a couple of times I thought I would pass out. Then there was a thunder and lightning and I swore the concert would be canceled. Anyways just a testament to how great of a performer she is because she did half the concert in the rain.

Lmaoo crying this was literally my experience!! 😂 I bought floor tickets to her show in DC and could barely see over people’s heads. Had to watch most of the show on the screen too. I’m never doing floor seats again unless I’m in the veryyy front

I had such a good experience at Renaissance. I took the train down, so I could get a little lit. It was the day before my birthday. And my seats were close, but not too close, so I could see the entire stage. 10/10.

Evelyn, that was a travesty! You truly handled that like a champ.

So being a frequent flyer when it comes to Beyoncé concerts, I’ve never wanted to be front row because her presentation is always so grand. I want to see it all in one view. So floor is fine but towards the middle, never the back though. That being said, I told myself that based on my assessment of the Renai stage, I would have to be on the edge of the circle, and hopefully towards the middle. I was lucky enough to do so and get a semi club renaissance in experience with a seat AND she walked right in front of me NO OBSTRUCTION ❤!! That was a gift. Lower level though is always my go to.

Oh no! Different venue: I got nosebleed seats high up on the side but I didn't realize that much of the stage was recessed so we couldn't see inside the half circle for anything she / the dancers did there, only the times they came out 🤦🏻‍♀️

girl your stories are endlessly entertaining

Girl, in Atlanta there was a massive lighting structure/pole/thangamajig in between us and the center of the mf stage!!! Watched the screen all night, didn't see the center of the lil video content being projected until the film came out. Considered weeping. But YET we still went in, because who are we to get our souls broken on such a night? It was tough tho.

Girrrrlll I went to the Houston concert night one and was in the sky. I WAS ON MY FEET THE ENTIRE CONCERT!!! My whole section was a party 😩 Lord take me back!

well, my Renaissance experience was the only one to get canceled 😩. But I had something similar happen to me at the Fomration World Tour. Our floor seats were behind some huge black box and I knew we were screwed because all of the tour footage I saw had her standing behind it the entire time. Enough people complained and we all were moved to other available sections.

I had to get over my fear of heights to get to my seat for Beyonce. But so worth it. I'm glad you were able to go to another city's show and experience the show.

3:55 😂😂😂 the les twins moves!

I agree. For Lemonade we had far away seats and went to the New Orleans show and had floor seats and had to stand on chairs the entire time

I’m not gonna lie, I wouldve been extremely upset if I were you. I’m glad you were able to see it in the end. I had great seats though. DC night 1 😂😅.

DAMN FRIEND! So bittersweet. I'm glad you got a chance to see her again! Live experiences are never a waste of time and money (travel, concerts, conventions whatever). Even how you dealt with it, you could have moaned about your first experience FOREVER because Beyonce, but you decided to create a new memory and take this trip with your hilarious brother (can't imagine the convos between you two RIGHT after the concert).

That was wonderful. A life lesson. A good time. Travel. All's well that ends well!

oh my god i was there!!!! same night, same section!!! i was a little bit in front of you (i was right behind the person with the disco hat) and oh my god the view was even worse closer to the stage. it didn't help that the people in front of me had their giant hats on the entire time.

Renaissance is STILL everything!

I'm sorry your experience was not as good as it could have been, because I LOVED my experience. Yes, there were some annoying people in front of me, but I would do it over again. I bought my tickets back when the code was being given out, too, but I did see some seats from Ticketmaster saying something about "blocked view" and I wasn't really sure what it meant, so I left those alone. Ended up sitting right behind Club Renny, in the middle, but back enough that nothing obstructed the view, so good seats for me. The only albums that had me really going, since Renaissance came out, have been Montero (yes, I know it came out before Renny, which was when I stopped listening to Montero every day), Age of Pleasure, and, now, Cowboy Carter. Now, I'm waiting on Meg's album.

You looked so freaking amazing!! YESS HONEY

That was us in Chicago night 2. Obstructed by the VIP riser 🙃. So happy we had tix in Detroit too.

Yes! Almost as bad...we're from the San Francisco Bay Area so we saw her at Levi Stadium (home of the 49ers)...Me and Hubby have never missed a show and I have seen all of her her shows since she was with Destiny's Child. For the Renaissance tour, we sat in the 100s section and smack dab behind a 50-foot beam that holds a speaker! Needless to say, I was pissed! During the Mrs Carter tour, we sat a few rows over from a giant speaker too! The music was so loud it rattled my brain and all of my inner organs. I felt sick towards the end and we just left before she left the stage! 😢

I was at the second night I'm Houston as well! I was higher up but it ended up being great bc the stage and screens we're so damn BIG. And yes, we definitely won the challenge 😌💅🏾

I received a notice on the way to the concert that our seats were being moved because a structure would have blocked our view. We were moved closer! We did not have floor seats but thank goodness they moved us! I'm sorry this happened to you but glad you got to go again. I think for the next concert (act ii??) I'll go for the cloud seats!

Like I love you soooo much. Seriously so funny!!

I was also in the clouds at Renaissance, it was amazing 🥹 I’m ready to be back in the clouds for a Cowboy Carter tour lol

I went to the formation tour and was three rows in front of the tippy top row. Beyonce looked like an ant, thank goodness for those screens. We still had a hell of a time up in the nosebleeds lol

Another upload?! Our cousin is spoiling us😂

“Have it go thru!” In African Aunty voice! 💀💀💀

I bought resale renny tickets on SeatGeek with Afterpay and caught the Tampa show. I also passed out in the middle of Summer Renaissance because I was dehydrated from dancing and hadn’t eaten since the morning 😅

Got the rained out DC/MD Renaissance show and boy what a time it was 😩 Getting in was the biggest battle... traffic + lightening kept the delays up, trying to shelter everyone felt like concert goers vs event staff... Finally got in right before the delayed show started (10pm!), drenched in a sticky poncho that was not keeping not one thing dry lol, sloshed to our floor seat (we didn't get blocked by those raisers, amen!) , makeup dripping into my contacts and i couldnt have been happier seeing Beyoncé in her wet n wavy 😂 Even though things were cut for time in the show, I'm glad it still went on... cause a show is gonna do what a show is gonna do!

I now no longer feel bad for being on the very last row at the top at the Detroit show...I had a very good view of the screens. Keep ya head up Evelyn!

When you said “ I could see the show…from the clouds” 😂😂😂😂😂

We are the same. I went from playing Renny top to bottom to age of pleasure top to bottom. Got a free tix to Age of Pleasure tour (thank goodness, so amazing, never will forget, tears were shed), but RWT was deffff out of my budget

Bay Bey!! I was at the DC night 2 show. That is a story I will tell my grandkids....

Yesss PERIOD!!! Come on business expense !!! Age of Pleasure was everything 🙌🙌

I had an experience with Drake. I was behind all the structures and couldn't see anything! A part of the stage was blocking a the screen so I couldn't never get a full view.. I was so pissed!!! I definitely believe that artist should look at the stage from multiple angles bc some people don't get a good view. What makes me even angrier is that I initially was going to get a ticket from the opposite side lol. At Renaissance, I was in the back but one of the small screens weren't working in Dallas. I was so annoyed but I could see everything else. I'm contemplating if I should get closer for Cowboy Carter.

Evelyn!! Sorry for your bad floor experience, I had Club Renny tix (inside the circle) at Houston Night 1 and also went to Nola for nosebleeds which let me see things I missed on the floor. So glad I did bothhh tbh! Had good ol’ time on the floor in Houston, met Coco Jones and Normani since they were in VIP behind me😭 and yeah Nola LOST the mute challenge sooo bad ppl were screaming next to me ughhh. Bey, please release the concert soundtrack 🤲🏾!!!!

Lol 😂 you gotta look at the seating chart before you purchase ! I bought floor seats as well. But I definitely studied that seating chart beforehand. Had to pull out a magnifying glass for this one. I wasn’t playing around
