Earlier Club Renaissance Events Were More Exclusive
Variety reports that the album’s New York City release party back in August, which was attended by numerous stars like Chloe Bailey, Normani, and Kendrick Lamar, was the first incarnation of the event.
Beyoncé later hit up a Paris-based Club Renaissance—which had artists like Doja Cat and Tyler, the Creator. Additionally, Parisians reportedly got the chance to win tickets through a social media competition.
Now, for the Los Angeles event, people actually got the opportunity to obtain tickets themselves, though it didn’t exactly work out for many.
Were you one of the lucky Beyhive members who managed to cop tickets to Club Renaissance? Additionally, what do you think about the event being so last minute, as well as it only being offered in L.A.?
