Anxiety Over Likely Flop
OpenLife Nigeria reports that pop star, Beyonce has been ridiculed by music fans after tickets for her struggling Cowboy Carter tour hit a new low this week.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) claimed to have found resale tickets in the nosebleed section of the star’s SoFi Stadium show in Los Angeles for as low as $20.
They then compared it to the cost of one of the limited edition Minecraft Movie Big Mac Meals from McDonald’s, which was around the same price.
‘Due to its low demand, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour tickets ($20) are now cheaper than a McDonald’s Minecraft meal ($21.39),’ they wrote.
Another fan pointed out that some seats for the SoFi Stadium show were going for $27 at one point, although they have since increased to $37 for the cheapest seats.
‘The Cowboy Carter tour starts April 28 and reports have it that there are still unsold tickets left for opening night…’ a third added.
However, loyal Beyonce fans have pushed back against the narrative that the Single Ladies hitmaker, 43, is struggling to sell tickets.
Many have pointed out that her 2023 Renaissance tour didn’t initially sell out at first either.
But in the end, the show ended up selling out completely and became the highest-grossing tour from a Black artist in history.
‘Wait till the tour starts, once those clips start dropping people will be flocking to get tickets I know it,’ argued one fan.
‘Where the f**k are you guys getting a McDonald’s minecraft meal for $21?? At mine it’s like $14,’ added another.
Others pointed out that the cheap tickets are ‘resale’ tickets, and that Beyonce would’ve already made her money from full priced tickets.
The 43-year-old singer – who won Album of the Year at this year’s Grammys – announced that she would be kicking off the tour in Los Angeles at Sofi Stadium on April 28, with five shows at the venue.
The tour will also include shows in Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas.
However, many fans initially complained that tickets for the tour were far too expensive, and used it as the reason that it hadn’t sold out yet.
Sharing a supposed screenshot of a seating plan, one person claimed: ‘She can’t even sell out in California… this is SoFi stadium right at this moment. Oh, Has Beyn, your career is OVER.’
Others suggested that the reason the tour isn’t selling is because fans aren’t as interested in Beyonce’s country music.
‘Nobody cares about cowgirl version of Beyoncé,’ one person declared.
Someone else suggested: ‘This country album should’ve been a donation based concert.’
