I hate to yuck anyone’s yum, but some of you have terrible taste. As I understand it, doors to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium open at 5pm. While there is no official start time for the concert, reports from previous shows suggest that Beyoncé will appear on stage anytime between 7.30pm and 8.30pm. In the absence of support acts, those who arrive early — which is advised — must be prepared to wait. The stadium curfew (10:30pm on weekdays, 10pm on Sundays) means the show lasts between 90 minutes and two hours.
Now before I go on, let me be clear: this is not about Beyoncé. Believe me, I learned my lesson from when I previously suggested in these pages that Sydney was in fact too nice to live in, after which I was inundated with questions such as “WHY DO YOU HATE AUSTRALIA?” As such, the last thing I intend to do is poke the Beyhive. Moreover, I realise that for millions of fans, attending one of these shows may be a flashbulb memory, a precious moment shared with mums and besties.
