Beyoncé fans may have joked about dreading the effects her eventual Renaissance tour would have on their checkbooks, but now that the announcement has been made, it looks like they can’t wait to give her all their money — even if it is the first of the month when the rent’s due.

While some fans have been joking about selling the family homestead to afford the tickets, which are currently only available to fans who register on Beyoncé’s website. This is likely a precautionary measure to avoid a repeat of Ticketmaster’s Eras Tour debacle, which angered Taylor Swift fans enough that even Congress stepped in to grill the ticket platform’s parent company, Live Nation.
Meanwhile, other Beyoncé fans are trying to take a different tack, urging others to avoid her concerts with dire, tongue-in-cheek warnings of the dangers of her siren’s call. One fan even went so far as to play one of Beyoncé’s signature songs, “Single Ladies,” in reverse, a sly reference to past satanic panics (although those usually involved heavy metal bands in the ’80s).
do NOT go to beyoncé’s concert. she is a SIREN waiting for y’all to arrive so that she can possess you. do NOT buy tickets and do NOT go to the renaissance world tour. pic.twitter.com/QZqLwlHtNq

And due to the high demand, plenty of fans expressed plans to see their fave by hook or crook, even if it means also making travel plans to see her in a completely different city.
If I can’t get Renaissance tour tickets for my city, best believe I will get them for any available date in another location. Even if it’s out the country. At this point, I will plan an entire vacation around this Beyoncé tour with no shame

Clearly, The Beyhive is thriving today, and Black History Month is off to a great start. But one question remains: Where are the visuals, sis?
So Beyonce announced the tour dates but we still don’t have any visuals. I’m so tired of her. pic.twitter.com/NmP7FrZSU2

Is paying your rent more important than securing tickets for Beyoncé’s Club Renaissance Tour??? pic.twitter.com/gW005DCigK

This is my aunt after she went to the last Beyonce tour. She’s been shaking uncontrollably ever since and I just want people to know how dangerous it is before they decide to put Beyonce’s music into their body. pic.twitter.com/Mil3B0p3bF
