Beyonce fans scramble for Renaissance tickets as sellers warn availability is already ‘extremely limited’ | Ents & Arts News



Beyonce fans desperate to secure tickets to the singer’s first solo world tour in seven years could face a second day of disappointment, as ticket sellers warn that the amount of Tickets available are “extremely limited” for only half an hour on the second day of the pre-sale.

Tens of thousands of fans began lining up online from 10am on Friday when Live Nation offered tickets to the singer’s five UK shows on Friday, but at around 10.30pm Ticketmaster (part of the show’s release) Live Nation) added a warning for all five pre-sale performances.

The announcement read: “Due to great demand for this show, tickets are currently very limited. If you can’t find tickets today, we recommend you check back on Tuesday the 7th. February at 10 a.m.”

The Renaissance tour – from Beyonce’s album of the same name – has received overwhelming demand from fans, eager to see Queen Bey work again.

Thousands of O2 customers using the O2 Priority app and website to try to access tickets were disappointed on Thursday when their service crashed, with fans reporting broken links and No tickets to buy.

O2 apologized to Beyonce fans for their “difficulty” in keeping tickets and blamed “excessive demand” for the performances.

A spokesperson said: “We apologize to any customers who were having difficulty trying to obtain Beyonce tickets through our Priority platform today.

“We see a huge need and we’re doing everything we can to help make sure all of our customers get through.”

Those who are part of Beyonce’s BeyHive fan group will get another pre-sale opportunity on Monday, February 6 from 9 a.m., and go on general sale on Tuesday, February 7.

O2 Priority’s pre-sale ticket prices for UK shows range from £56 for seats to £2,400 for a “on stage” VIP experience in the front row.

Commenting on the ticket price, Tenille, a Beyonce fan, joked on Twitter: “Hey Beyonce girl, please don’t forget that you told us to quit our jobs on that album. Please don’t be too high with it. those prices and thank you moms!”

Meanwhile, prices on some hotels in Edinburgh, where Beyonce will perform in Murrayfield on May 20, are said to have doubled over the weekend the singer performed.

As well as O2 and Edinburgh, Beyonce will perform at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on May 17 and the Stadium of Light in Sunderland on May 23.

She will then play two nights at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on May 29 and 30.

The world tour – which includes 43 performances in total – will kick off May 10 in Stockholm before visiting stadiums in the rest of Europe and the UK in the spring and summer.

Beyonce’s BeyGOOD initiative, which she created in 2013 to support shows around the world, will continue to operate in various cities during her Renaissance tour by hosting events, honoring small businesses and awarding grants.

She was also nominated for nine Grammy Awards at this weekend’s event and will make history as Most decorated artist in Grammy history if she only wins four of them.
