United Center Cancels NBA YoungBoy’s Chicago Show One Day Before Date

The venue issued automatic Ticketmaster refunds after canceling without explanation following a rare no‑bags rule.

Overview

  • The United Center posted a brief notice canceling the Sept. 24 concert and said it had no further comment.
  • Ticketmaster told buyers refunds will be processed automatically, while fans who used third‑party resellers were directed to contact their point of purchase.
  • The venue had recently tightened security for the event by banning bags of all sizes, including clear bags, an uncommon policy for arena shows.
  • Coverage notes safety concerns as context, including a recent Kansas City stop where police said a teen was detained after an employee was assaulted.
  • NBA YoungBoy’s manager and booking rep criticized the decision on Instagram, and the MASA tour remains scheduled to continue in Columbus, Brooklyn and Boston before wrapping Nov. 12 in Seattle.
