Jay-Z Yankee Stadium Night 3 Delayed by Security Breach
Night 3 of the Jay-Z residency at Yankee Stadium started out a little rough with a security breachWhile concertgoers were filling the stadium, officials had to close the gates due to people rushing the entrances and hopping fences to get into the venue.

The show finally started around 12 a.m., but many fans had already left. Once it got underway, though, it turned into a classic night. Jay-Z brought out Jermaine Dupri, Jeezy, Usher, Rihanna, Pharrell, Clipse, and even surprised the crowd with a performance from his wife, Beyoncé, along with more special guests.
Fans Receive Food and Drinks After Delay
The performance also racked up $70,000 in curfew fees, and attendees were compensated with complimentary food and drinks after the lengthy delay.
Despite the chaotic start, Night 3 will be remembered for an unforgettable lineup of surprise guests and another historic chapter in Jay-Z’s Yankee Stadium residency.
Why did the concert receive $70,000 in curfew fines?
Jay-Z’s concert received significant curfew fines after a massive security breach outside Yankee Stadium forced a nearly four-hour delay. Instead of beginning at the scheduled 8:00 p.m. start time, the show didn’t get underway until just after midnight and continued until nearly 3:00 a.m., resulting in approximately $70,000 in curfew penalties.
