Jay-Z Adds Third Yankee Stadium Date After Sellouts

The added date underscores stadium-level demand for a scarce hometown return.

Overview

  • Jay-Z and Roc Nation added an “Extra Innings” show for Sunday, July 12 after the July 10 and 11 anniversary nights sold out, with tickets released Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET via Live Nation.
  • Ticketmaster queues swelled to roughly 1.6 million combined, with screenshots showing about 847,000 in line for night two and 816,000 for night one.
  • Resale listings jumped into the thousands, with StubHub sections topping about $4,500 for July 11 and $4,200 for July 10, while a single report citing $12,000 appears to be an outlier.
  • Fans described long waits, failed checkouts, and getting bumped from queues as they tried to buy seats for both the initial on-sale and the added date.
  • The first two nights mark 30 years of Reasonable Doubt and 25 years of The Blueprint, the new date lacks a stated theme, and Jay-Z is also set to headline the Roots Picnic on May 30.
