Senate Warns Ticketmaster Following Beyoncé’s Tour Announcement: ‘We’re Watching’
Renaissance
The Senate Judiciary Committee Have Their Eye on Ticketmaster’s Delivery of Beyoncé Tickets
With Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour sales on the way, Ticketmaster is under the watch of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
After the announcement went live, The Senate Judiciary Committee sent a warning out: “We’re watching, @Ticketmaster.”
Ticketmaster is already on watch for their sloppy delivery of Taylor Swift world tour tickets, which led to a large number of bots securing tickets. In response, according to The Hill, Swift’s fans, known as the Swifties, filed lawsuits citing antitrust violations.
Beyoncé is ready to immerse you into the world of Renaissance. The superstar singer has announced the dates for her 2023 Renaissance World Tour.
Hitting Instagram, Beyoncé shared an image of her riding a disco ball horse. The tour will hit Europe first before making a run across America starting July 12. Beyoncé will touch Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Dallas, Houston, and more. The last show on the tour is on Sept. 27 in New Orleans.

After Botching Taylor Swift’s Ticket Sales, Ticketmaster Is Changing Its Policies For Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Tour
In terms of public opinion, Ticketmaster is perhaps at an all-time low right now. Zach Bryan recently released an album called All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster. Taylor Swift was infuriated after her The Eras Tour onsale through Ticketmaster went remarkably poorly. They just botched a John Mayer ticket sale, too. On top of all that, Congress is currently looking into them.
All this has Beyoncé fans worried: She just announced her long-awaited Renaissance tour and tickets are being sold through Ticketmaster. Apparently, though, the company is changing some things in an effort to avoid a repeat of the Swift fiasco.
As KTLA notes, the steps Ticketmaster is taking with the Renaissance tour includes staggering the on-sale dates for various venues and using membership systems like Verified Fan.
Ticketmaster shared a blog post with more detailed information about how to get Renaissance tickets. It explains in part, “Demand for this tour is expected to be high. If there is more demand than there are tickets available, a lottery-style selection process will determine which registered Verified Fans get a unique access code and which are placed on the waitlist. A Verified Fan access code does not guarantee tickets, it just gives you access to join the sale. All tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. If tickets remain, the lottery-style process will be used to invite more Verified Fans from the waitlist to join the sale.”

When Will Tickets For Beyoncé’s 2023 Tour Go On Sale?
No one can break Beyoncé’s soul, but the Beyhive can certainly break the internet. Upon the announcement of her upcoming Renaissance World Tour, fans crashed the Citi Entertainment site, which revealed the guidelines on how to register for the pre-sale.
When will tickets for Beyoncé’s 2023 tour go on sale?
The Citi pre-sale link is now active again, and fans can begin registering to receive their pre-sale codes now.
The pre-sale is powered by a program called Verified Fan, in which fans can register to potentially be invited to purchase pre-sale tickets. Registering, however, will not guarantee each fan will be verified, receive a code, or have the ability to purchase tickets.
Those who are invited will receive an access code the night before the Citi presale inviting them to shop for tickets.
According to Citi Entertainment’s website, “Registration for the Citi presale powered by Verified Fan in Chicago, East Rutherford, Washington DC, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Houston will go through Thursday, February 2 at 11:59 PM EST. Verified fans will be notified and the Citi presale will begin Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 10 AM EST through Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at 6 PM EST.”
The following week, “Verified Fan in Minneapolis, Boston, Tampa, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle and Dallas will go through Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST.”
At the time of writing, registration is only available to those with a Citi credit card. It is unclear when general on-sale will begin, however, non-Citi cardholders will be able to purchase tickets here.

Beyoncé Announces Dates for Renaissance World Tour
How To Buy Tickets For Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Tour
Well, it’s finally happening. After Beyoncé’s private concert in Dubai and after her father Mathew Knowles said his daughter (not Solange) was planning a tour behind Renaissance, the tour is officially happening. Beyoncé made the official announcement this morning (February 1) and shortly before that, Citi listed a “Citi Verified Fan Presale” page for “Beyoncé RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR,” which features shows between July and September in a number of North American cities.
So, how does one get tickets?
One way to get tickets is via the Citi Verified Fan Presale. To attempt to secure a ticket, buyers must first register for the pre-sale. Some registrants will then receive an access code the night before the presale goes live, which will grant access to shop for tickets. Then, they’ll be able to buy tickets with a valid Citi credit card of Citibank debit card.
Otherwise, links to register to get tickets for specific tour dates are available on Beyoncé’s website.
The trek starts in May with some European and UK dates before heading to North America in July. That part of the tour kicks off in Toronto and will later wrap up in New Orleans.
Find the list of tour dates here.

Beyoncé Hasn’t Announced A ‘Renaissance’ Tour Yet But Is Apparently Planning One, Her Dad Says
Beyoncé hasn’t been much of a live performer in recent years, but she recently took the stage for the first time in a few years for a private performance in Dubai (for which she was reportedly paid $24 million). Naturally, this has fans in other parts of the world wondering if and when they’ll get to see Beyoncé perform in their neighborhood. Well, it looks like a tour in support of Beyoncé’s 2022 album Renaissance is indeed happening.
According to a report from TMZ, Beyoncé’s father Mathew Knowles said his daughter is currently planning a Renaissance tour and it will be announced when the time is right.
He also addressed the backlash Beyoncé has received for the performance, due to United Arab Emirates’ anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Knowles spoke about his daughter’s power to bring people together and that the show had a diverse crowd. He added she wouldn’t do anything to intentionally hurt anybody, and that there was a mutual respect between her and the country.
Lizzo didn’t make it to the Dubai performance, but the noted Beyhive member did catch a livestream of the performance, which was her 11th time seeing Beyoncé live.
