Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been branded "disastrous" and told to resign with "immediate effect" ahead of her Spring Budget announcement.
The Chancellor watched the US singer perform from a corporate box free of charge - while resale tickets sold for as much as £900 to fans ahead of the sold out gig.
Reeves is expected to declare the gift in the next declaration of MPs' financial interests, as a Treasury spokesman said "all declarations will be made in the usual way."

"And in fact, that makes her dangerous. And I'm really worried for this country with her in charge."
Criticising her appointment, Cundy also hit out at Keir Starmer for appointing Reeves as Chancellor in the first place.
She fumed: "And worst of all, Keir Starmer put her there. We have to look at his judgement skills.
"It's appalling, and they know what she's doing to us."

Reeves is said to have received "security advice" warning she "could not attend the gig in the general admission areas" of the show.
However, Labour MP Rachael Maskell criticised the Chancellor, claiming: "I thought that this issue had been settled, and ministers would not be accepting free hospitality for personal benefit.
"So to hear of a repeat, should it have occurred, is deeply troubling, not least at a time when many disabled people are worried sick about having their lifeline of support reduced under the 'Get Britain Working' reforms."
Reeves's box is owned by AEG - an ex-client of top lobbying firm FTI Consulting.
