Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter Tour has sparked significant discussion, particularly regarding ticket sales and pricing in London.

The pop superstar may have topped the country chart for her “Cowboy Carter” album (for which she won her first Album of the Year award from the Grammys), but her ticket sales for the recently announced Cowboy Carter Tour have been lackluster — and she has yet to sell out any shows.
According to Ticketmaster and StubHub, tickets for all shows on her tour, which kicks off at the end of April, are still available.
Her ticket sales are especially slow in the U.K., according to the London Times in an article titled, “She’s a global megastar — so why can’t Beyoncé sell out her UK tour?” Per The Times, Ticketmaster had braced itself for an “onslaught” that never came.
Stateside, there is just economic exhaustion, and many fans blew a lot of their money seeing her two years ago … and on Taylor Swift tickets last year.
“Her fanbase did not like ‘Cowboy Carter’ — they were not impressed,” a music industry insider told me. “They just blew their wad seeing her two years ago and in Taylor tickets… Bad economics right now.”
She may end up like Justin Timberlake, playing to just 11,000 fans at the end of his “Forget Tomorrow” world tour.
