A disabled Beyoncé fan had her excitement quashed and was left feeling "humiliated" after being told she would not be allowed to bring her walker into the stadium. Dominique Glover, who suffers from Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) was "over the moon" to get her hands on tickets to Beyoncé's sold out Renaissance World Tour.
Dominique and a friend spent £120 on tickets for the Sunderland date of the global popstar's tour. As a result of her condition, which affects how the brain receives and sends information and creates constant pain in her legs, the 25-year-old relies on a walking stick or a walker to get around, as her legs often give out and she struggles with tremor.
Dominique, who lives in Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham, also has a wheelchair, but she tries to avoid using it so she is not relying on anyone else to push her. The Mirror reports that Dominique's friend got in touch with the Stadium of Light in advance to speak to the venue's accessibility team and see if her walker could be put in storage during Beyoncé's show.
