Two men deny burgling Spurs stadium on night of Beyonce concert

  • Alirza Dag and Murat Kodalakoglu, both 23, have denied charges of burgling Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during a Beyoncé concert last year.
  • The two men are accused of accessing a VIP rooftop terrace at the north London venue and causing £1,700 worth of damage to an electronic keypad used for entry.
  • At Wood Green Crown Court, Dag admitted criminal damage to the door access control panel, while Kodalakoglu pleaded not guilty to the same charge, with both denying any intent to steal in relation to the burglary allegations.
  • The incident reportedly occurred on 16 June last year, during the final night of Beyoncé’s sold-out Cowboy Carter world tour at the Spurs ground.
  • Their trial has been scheduled for 18 February 2030, with a sole bail condition requiring them to inform their solicitors of any address or contact number changes.
