Come on ladies, now let’s get in — formation.
Queen Bey arrives in TBAY tomorrow for her long-awaited “Renaissance World Tour” stop at Raymond James Stadium. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the stadium suggests the Beyhive arrive early for the 8 p.m. show, as there isn’t an opener.
Here are a few more tips for making it an all night party.
Tickets
Yes, there are still some tickets available, but they’re going to cost you some bills, bills, bills. On Ticketmaster, seats will cost you anywhere from $140 to almost $3,500, depending on how close you want to sit to the action. Remember, make sure to used a verified ticket resale website.
Parking + transit
We don’t want any deja vu from the “Eras Tour” post-concert traffic jam. Consider having a family member or friend pick you up at a nearby business like Rooms To Go (2970 N. Dale Mabry Hwy. Ste A) or the WingHouse (3712 W. Columbus Dr.), both a short walking distance from the stadium. Or, grab an Uber or Lyft ride at the rideshare pickup at Steinbrenner Field (1 Steinbrenner Dr.).
Stadium parking is currently sold out. There are also HART transit options available.
We’ll take a Beyonce’s Lemonade, please.

Eat + Drink
This is an event, so pregaming with fun drinks is a must. Kick off the night with some Bey-themed cocktails on the patio at Willa’s (1700 W. Fig St.). The vibey Tampa spot is serving Queen Bee with Hendrick’s gin, BROVO Amaro #1, lemon, and honey + Beyonce’s Lemonade with Tito’s vodka, lemon, and grenadine. Plus, you can enjoy both drinks through the weekend while you reminisce on the concert.
Bags
The bag policy is no bags. Raymond James only allows clutch bags no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Pick up stadium approved, clear options at South Tampa’s hazel + dot (3714 Henderson Blvd.).
