As is often the case with the debut of a new venue, there were some initial logistical hitches. On Thursday, attendees faced difficulties with the ticketing process as they tried to enter the Intuit Dome, resulting in lengthy queues that delayed entry into the concert.
A notable incident highlighted by attendees on social media included a malfunction with the venue’s system. One tweet described the scene outside the venue: “the @IntuitDome system crashed and we all standing outside looking stupid… not a single person scanned in. it’s been 30min. staples would NEVER pic.twitter.com/kFclCj2zFd” — Pepper Potts (@cocoapixi) August 16, 2024.

Bruno Mars was scheduled to start his performance at 8 p.m. local time. However, due to the entry delays with thousands of fans stuck outside, he didn’t start his performance until just before 10 p.m. The delay was primarily caused by an issue with the arena’s facial recognition system, as reported by ABC 7 News in Los Angeles.
Despite the rocky start, the concert picked up momentum once it began. Fans were pleasantly surprised by a guest appearance from Lady Gaga, which, along with Mars’ performance, helped alleviate some of the earlier frustrations of the evening.
The organizers surely hope that future events will see smoother logistics now that the initial glitches have been experienced and noted.
