Beyoncé Fans Outraged as Cowboy Carter Tour Pre-Sale Tickets Hit $1,000+ While Regular Sales Cost One-Third Less
Beyoncé fans have discovered a stark pricing disparity between different pre-sale events for her upcoming "Cowboy Carter & the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour," with some paying triple the price for identical seats.

The controversy centers around Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing system, which resulted in dramatically different prices between the BeyHive fan pre-sale and the Verizon pre-sale.

Price Comparison for Section 232 at SoFi Stadium:
- BeyHive Pre-sale: $595 + $226.30 fees = $1,417.30
- Verizon Pre-sale: $199 + $100.40 fees + $55 parking = $553.40
The official price range for the Inglewood Stadium shows tickets ranging from $105.25 to $4,769.52, excluding VIP and hotel packages.
Fans have expressed frustration on social media, noting that "verified fans" who participated in the BeyHive pre-sale paid significantly more than those who waited for the Verizon pre-sale. One user pointed out the unfairness of charging dedicated fans premium prices while "locals" could purchase the same seats for drastically less the following day.
This pricing strategy appears to target super fans who are willing to pay premium prices for early access, effectively using fan dedication as a metric for price optimization. While this system ensures more revenue goes to artists rather than scalpers, it has created controversy among loyal fans who feel penalized for their early support.
