Ariana Grande Brings Eternal Sunshine Tour to Boston TD Garden
The venue says each fan may bring one 100% clear bag, with medical and accessibility exceptions, as Ariana Grande begins a 10-night London run.
Fans attending Ariana Grande's 10-show residency at London's O2 Arena beginning August 15 must use clear bags for entry, with the ticket distributor confirming the policy is "mandatory" for admittance.
Security at the singer's shows has been robust since the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, where 22 people were killed, prompting wider discussion about venue safety measures.
Attendees must use transparent bags made from clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC, no larger than 30cm x 15cm x 30cm, though "medical, accessibility, parent/child-care related bags" are exempt.
While some critics called the new requirements "ridiculous," one fan defended the measures, stating, "Surprised people are complaining about this, remember what happened in Manchester."
Grande is performing her 10-show residency at the O2 Arena from August 15 until September 1, 2026, part of her 41-date tour that began in June 2026 across the US and Canada.
