Shakira sells out Fresno concert at Valley Children’s Stadium
Shakira sold out Thursday night’s concert at Valley Children’s Stadium.
Fresno State confirmed the sellout to The Bee shortly before 4:30 p.m. The concert is the latest stop in Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour.
On Monday, seats were available in all sections of the stadium, with hundreds of tickets still available for sale via Ticketmaster on Wednesday, the day before the Latin mega star’s first concert in Fresno.
By 4 p.m. Thursday, Ticketmaster had fewer than 160 resell tickets available, with prices ranging from $164 to $952 per ticket.
As of Tuesday, some 20,000 tickets had been sold for the concert, according to Fresno State athletic director Garrett Klassy.
The apparent sellout is likely to be the largest single-night concert in the city’s history. Valley Children’s Stadium has a capacity of 40,727 for football.
Traffic flows are expected to be affected around the stadium, particularly along Shaw and Cedar avenues. It will be similar to what one would see for Fresno State football games. The rideshare drop-off will be on the east side of the Fresno State campus, along Woodrow Avenue.
Two shuttles will run guests to the north end of the stadium off Barstow Avenue, and back, with several pick-up locations along the route. Those driving to the show will find parking at one of several lots across Fresno State’s campus, and buying a parking pass online is urged before heading to the stadium.
All available lots will open at 7 p.m., an hour later than scheduled.
Weather forecast for Shakira concert in Fresno
The concert is listed for a 7:30 p.m. start time, though it was 9:25 p.m. before Shakira took the stage at SoFi Stadium on Monday, according to the website Setlist.fm.
Previous shows had the singer on stage closer to 9 p.m.
One of the big unknowns going into the concert is whether fans will take the risk on the possibly of sitting in 100-degree heat.
Thursday is expected to be the hottest day of the week, according to the National Weather Service. It will most likely hit triple digits with the possibility of highs at 105.
