Beyoncé is coming home, Houston. Her record-breaking Cowboy Carter Tour hits NRG Stadium this Saturday and Sunday. Here's how to survive, get merch, and dress the part.
Houston is ready for Beyoncé's sold-out Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at NRG Stadium this weekend. The global superstar will perform two 7 p.m. gigs on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29. Beyoncé's sole stop in Texas for her Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter tour has drawn thousands of fans to her hometown.
Due to high demand, Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and StubHub are selling resale tickets for both events. Please remember that NRG Stadium has a clear bag policy. Guests are allowed to bring one 12-by-6-by-12-inch clear bag or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag. You can get a transparent bag and a 4.5" x 6.5" clutch handbag. No diaper bags, simply clear bags for diapers and wipes. If their lenses are non-removable and under three inches, small cameras and cell phones qualify.
NRG Stadium parking costs $50, but feeder road lots are cheaper. Concertgoers should plan for traffic and congestion.
Houston stores sell western-inspired clothing. Cavender's Boot City, Tecovas, El Compa Western Wear, Leopard Lounge, Akira, Pinto Ranch, and Galleria Mall are all popular destinations. At recent tour stops, fringe, rhinestones, and cowboy hats were popular.
Fans can also expect a variety of official merchandise options. T-shirts ($55), long sleeves ($70), hoodies ($150), denim shorts ($90), cowboy hats ($50), souvenir fans ($35), and patch sets ($20) will be available from a Cowboy Carter Tour truck outside the stadium. Stadium hallways will include more merchandise stands.
