Beyoncé fans are gearing up for the release of tickets for the star’s latest tour, the Cowboy Carter Tour.
This highly anticipated tour includes six UK dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in June, marking Beyoncé’s first shows since her record-breaking Renaissance Tour in 2023. Ticketmaster has announced that prices for the tour range from £71 to £950.
The general sale for tickets is set to start at 12:00 GMT on Friday, promising a significant day for concert-goers with a lineup of high-profile tours launching.
Alongside Beyoncé’s tour, tickets will also be available for Ozzy Osbourne’s final gig with Black Sabbath, Kendrick Lamar & SZA, Patti Smith, Beck, Morrissey, Mumford & Sons, Razorlight, and Smashing Pumpkins.
One dedicated fan expressed their willingness to pay up to £2,000 to attend Black Sabbath’s charity concert in Birmingham, featuring performances from Metallica, Pantera, Anthrax, Gojira, and members of Guns N’ Roses.
Another fan shared their commitment to Beyoncé, having attended all her concerts since 2014’s Mrs. Carter World Tour.
As ticket prices for concerts continue to rise, fans are facing increasing expenses to see their favorite artists perform live. With dynamic pricing schemes in place, fans often encounter uncertainty about the final cost of tickets.
However, some dedicated fans are taking matters into their own hands, with one fan from Washington, DC, collecting data on ticket prices for Beyoncé’s tour to help others make informed decisions.
The rising costs of touring, combined with the impact of the pandemic, have contributed to the surge in concert ticket prices. While some artists, like Ed Sheeran and Coldplay, strive to keep their shows affordable, others are facing challenges in balancing accessibility for fans with the need to cover escalating expenses.
