Lucky fans with a presale code can now bag tickets for the Texas Hold 'Em singer's latest tour before the general sale takes place on Valentine's Day. However, just minutes on from the tickets being released at 12pm, it's been reported Ticketmaster has crashed.
"AIN'R NO WAY TICKETMASTER CRASHING FOR BEYONCE WHEN IM 100 PEOPLE AWAY," one member of the Bey Hive has fumed on Twitter (X). "IM TRYNA GET THESE BEYONCÉ TICKETS AND THE QUEUE NOT MOVING TICKMASTER CRASHED ON US WTFFFFF," another fumed, with a third asking: "Is it me or has Ticketmaster crashed!?"
"Beyoncé ticket queue ain’t moving. What’s going on @TicketmasterUK," one desperate fan pleaded with the distributor. Another raged at Ticketmaster: "how can i be unable to select beyonce tickets because you guys are unable to reload the map to select seats omg @TicketmasterUK."
However, as of 12.37pm, Ticketmaster say "tickets are still available" and the queue "is moving along as fans checkout". "We always advise fans to make sure they only use one tab, clear their cookies, and do not use any VPN software on their device," a spokesperson for the company said.
The presale runs from today until Thursday, with Beyonce’s BeyGood foundation continuing "its work of helping communities with programmes in entrepreneurship, scholarships, disaster response, including helping those affected by the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles, California area".
Presales for the concert series began earlier today (Feb. 11), and many hopeful attendees have reported being placed in long queue lines or encountering unexpectedly high prices.
One user shared an image of a queue with over 78,000 people already waiting. Another fan claimed that nosebleed seats in one city were priced at over $750.
Beyonce announced she will return to London for four dates later this year, after finally winning the album of the year Grammy Awards earlier this month. The US superstar will return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June, as part of her Cowboy Carter tour which is also raising money for those affected by the California wildfires.
The dates have been announced as June 5, June 7, June 10 and June 12 for London, with her series of shows also set to make stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey, Paris, Texas, Houston and Atlanta this year.
During her Grammy speech on 23rd Februart after winning album of the year, Beyonce alluded to her previous misses for the prize, saying it had been "many, many years". She had previously failed to secure the prize with 2008’s I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2013’s Beyonce, 2016’s Lemonade and 2022’s Renaissance, before taking home the prize in California for her chart-topping country album Cowboy Carter.
