Of course, with such a large event, there's the concern about what traffic will look like around the stadium. Foxboro police are reminding people to expect traffic heading into the stadium and late at night on the way out. But many say the performance will be worth any wait.
Some Beyoncé fans were hoping to get a ticket for the MBTA's Commuter Rail to Foxboro, but tickets for the train were sold out within 10 minutes of them going on sale.

"I'm lucky that I do have a car so I have an option now and will be driving," Carolyn Chou said. "I am bracing myself for the traffic, but you know, so many of my friends also don't have cars and are now scrambling to find some way to get there."
Beyoncé's current global trek is being heralded as "dazzling" and "stunning" by music reviewers, and sees the pop star bring her legendary vocals and choreography on the road. Her highly-anticipated album, "Renaissance" came out last year and was her first solo studio album since 2016's "Lemonade." The new album is a dance record that sonically calls back to the disco and house genres that were popular during the 1970s and 1990s.
The parking lot at Gillette Stadium will open at 4 p.m., and gates to the stadium will open at 5 p.m.
Many people were lining up well before that.
"She’s such an inspiration," Ethan Cioe said. "Her music is so powerful. I’m just so excited that’s why I am here at six in the morning."
"We've been waiting for like six months," one attendee said. "We bought the tickets as soon as they dropped in January and now we're finally here!"
Fans like Cierra Reeder traveled from across the country for Tuesday night's performance.
“I started a Beyoncé savings account, years ago that just takes a little bit out of my account here and there so I can get the best tickets when it's time. And it has accrued since then so and then when it's time to buy tickets I know I'm in Club Renaissance.”
"BeyHive for live," she added.
The California native has used the thousands of dollars she's saved to see Beyoncé in concert four times and she expects the Renaissance Tour to be pure honey.
"I go to every Beyoncé show," she said. "I’ve been watching the videos for this one and this one looks like it's gonna be the best.”
Which made the cross country trek work it for this crazy in love fan, who was joined at the show by her best friend, Jasmine Szantyr.
"Just like being in Beyoncé's air with her fans blowing and she's right there, I'm really excited,” Szantyr said.
But Beyoncé isn't the only dive they're excited to see Tuesday night. They both are hoping to see her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, too.
The concert is scheduled to start at 8 p.m., and if traffic is not a deterrent and you still want to see the show, there are still some tickets available. They're available online, with prices ranging from $180 all the way to $10,000.
Gov. Maura Healey told concertgoers to bring the energy and get ready to move at Gillette, welcoming Beyoncé to Massachusetts.
"The Renaissance Tour has us ready to get in formation and run the world. We'll welcome you and make sure you're always dozy. Thank you for making out Commonwealth move."
