Beyoncé Tour Ticket Prices Reportedly Prompt U.S. Fans To Travel To Europe

by

Few artists can say that their demand is so huge in the States that they can make their fans travel overseas just to spend a few hundred dollars less to witness their presence. According to many fans online, people are buying tickets for Beyoncé’s shows in Europe due to staggeringly high ticket prices in the U.S. Moreover, the star singer’s European leg begins in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10, according to her official tour website. However, many of these shows already sold out on the platform, so maybe fans got cheaper resale tickets.

Of course, Beyoncé’s highly acclaimed 2022 album RENAISSANCE, plus her sheer dominance and legacy as an artist, drove millions to buy tickets. What it resulted in is a frenzy of delayed purchase times, crashing websites, insane demand, and insane prices. It’s not entirely uncommon for the biggest artists in the world to face these issues, whether thanks to poor planning or just the fact that they’re so huge that everyone and their grandpa want to go. For example, Taylor Swift faced similar issues, as did Drake whose tour tickets rivaled even the “CUFF IT” star’s.

Beyoncé Fans Face High Ticket Prices In The U.S., Travel To Europe For Shows

However, many on social media ultimately saw this as a great opportunity to go visit other countries. After outlets started to report on the phenomenon, many chimed in with their takes. “It’s still cheaper than the US!!” one user claimed. “We were able to make a cute lil vacation in Toronto!! I’m excited that this is pushing black and brown folks to travel abroad for new and different experiences!!” Another expressed, “If I wouldn’t have gotten my ticket here… oooo oui! I would’ve been on my way to Paris.”

It might be an unorthodox move, but it’s something to consider if you want to see a large artist on a world tour and can spend a lot of money, but not a lot of money. Meanwhile, the 41-year-old is enjoying a victory lap of sorts after becoming the most awarded Grammys artist ever. Now, she’s looking forward to her massive tour- and many fans are looking forward to their overseas vacations. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Beyoncé.

Beyoncé Fans Use GoFundMe To Get “Renaissance” Tour Tickets

by

Witnessing millions of fans online try to get Beyoncé tickets has been as entertaining as the album, at least if you’re not one of the many hopeful concert-goers suffering through presale and website issues. Moreover, Beyoncé fans took to GoFundMe to ask for money to purchase tickets for the Renaissance World Tour. While their pleas range from heartfelt to funny to frustrated, the tour’s insane demand means that they’ll be tough to catch. Even with all the money in the world, it won’t help insane queue times and shows selling out lighting fast.

Furthermore, one fan wrote, “This is the only life experience I care about living before I die. I will get those front row tickets either way but this way is safer than selling my kidney on the black market.” In fact, some screenshots obtained by TMZ indicate that some people are already close to their goals. Moreover, that last commenter already garnered $225 out of his $300 goal, at least based on their screenshot. What’s more is that it makes you wonder what else people can get away with on there. Still, many of these hopefuls are Beyhive live vets. “Listen…I would love your financial support in sending me to Beyoncé World Tour 2023,” another expressed. “I haven’t missed a Beyoncé concert yet, but I got ‘bills, bills, bills.’”

Meanwhile, other fans unfortunately haven’t raised much money for their selfish but understandable cause. This comes off the heels of UK tickets going on sale just recently. As expected, the demand far outweighs the supply available, something that Live Nation maintained in a statement. According to them, demand exceeds available tickets by over 800%, and they acknowledged the many fans who won’t get to see her.

Still what do you think of the GoFundMe campaigns to raise money for Beyoncé tour tickets? Moreover, are you one of the fans who took a chance on the platform or do you already have your tickets? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest on Beyoncé and the ubiquitous Renaissance World Tour.

Lil Wayne Tour Sold Out In Minutes, Fans React

by

Hype for Lil Wayne’s Welcome To Tha Carter tour built up quickly after its Tuesday announcement, and tickets sold out even quicker. As such, many fans took to social media to share their experiences trying to get tickets, but mostly to vent about the struggle. It’s not surprising, either, given Weezy’s legend status and his recent high-profile acknowledgements in the game. Furthermore, he’s one of the most enduring, continuously prolific, and influential MCs still spitting today. In fact, he appeals to so many that some fans jokingly (or not) took aim at the younger generation.

“IF YOU WERE BORN IN A YEAR THAT STARTS WITH A 2 GIVE ME YOUR GODDAMN LIL WAYNE TICKET THIS TOUR WAS NOT MEANT FOR YOU,” one Twitter user practically screamed in a post. Moreover, according to fan testimonies, tickets sold out for shows in anywhere from five to ten minutes. Although this and tours like Beyoncé’s shows will astound, one can’t help but lament how many fans these legends have. Fortunately, most of the conversation online saw people share frustration and not flaunt their seats unless they were selling them.

Another fan tweeted, “Really waited through a 10 minute queue for Lil Wayne tour to be sold out.” However, some fans pointed out that the venues themselves weren’t massive. A tweeter inquired, “Yeah why are the venues for Lil Wayne’s tour so small?” “Maybe I’m showing my age, but surely he can still pack out an arena? No?” Whereas some fans believe he deserved larger stages, other called out that he’s not stopping by his native New Orleans. “Beyoncé has a show in New Orleans for her tour but not Lil Wayne,” one fan pointed out.

Meanwhile, Tunechi’s always been a legend, but it feels like he built up much praise ahead of this tour. For example, the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective recently honored him with the Global Impact Award. Alongside Missy Elliott, Dr. Dre, and Sylvia Rhone, the Grammys recognized his indelible contributions. “I want you all to know that I don’t get honored,” he said during his acceptance speech. “Where I’m from, New Orleans, you’re not supposed to do this.” Still, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Lil Wayne, his legacy, and whether his tour expands given demand. Also, check out some more reactions to the tour selling out lightning-fast down below.

Beyoncé Adds More “Renaissance” Tour Dates Amid Ticket Chaos

by

One of the most anticipated, grandiose, and frustratingly in-demand tours of the year is already off to a wild start. Beyoncé recently announced more tour dates for her upcoming Renaissance World Tour in various North American cities. Moreover, this announcement comes after fans struggled to buy their tickets online due to the insane number of hopeful concertgoers. Still, a few additional shows might help at least somewhat. Moreover, they added shows in Toronto on July 9, Chicago on July 23, East Rutherford on July 30, and Washington D.C. on August 6. Also, Atlanta has another show on August 12, Los Angeles on September 3 and Houston on September 24.

However, these dates offer little help to accommodate the demand in the long run, according to event organizers. In a press statement, Live Nation shared that fan demand exceeded available seats by over 800%, given current registration numbers. Even with these added dates, they remarked that it’ll be a relatively small group of fans at each show. At least, compared to the truckloads of people in line. “It is still expected that the majority of interested fans will not be able to get tickets… Demand drastically exceeds supply.”

Regardless, the World Tour will kick off in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10. Following that are more European shows through June 27. Also, rumors spread recently that Beyoncé might bring her show to Ghana. After all, it is a world tour, and fans in Africa have waited for a long time for her. Still, the tour’s North American leg will begin in Toronto on July 8 and is scheduled to run until September 27 at New Orleans.

Even with all this ticket fiasco going on, are you one of the lucky fans with a Beyoncé ticket, or are you trying for these new dates? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below and check out presale details here. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest on Beyoncé, RENAISSANCE‘s tour, and our slim chances of nabbing tickets.

Young Guru Gives PSA About Beyoncé Tour Tickets

by

Young Guru took to Instagram to remind people that he doesn’t have access to tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming tour. “Listen I work for Jay-Z,” he wrote on his Instagram story on a black screen. “I do not have Beyoncé tickets!” While it might seem funny at first glance, he already received plenty of messages, most likely. After all, given the recent Ticketmaster fiasco for Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny’s tours, it should be really hard to witness the Queen. Still, as reactions to her tour announcement went viral online, just as many people gave up hope.

“Not even Hov got tickets,” one defeated commenter wrote. However, a lot of people commenting on coverage of Guru’s post don’t believe him. “Jay-Z is the best plug Young Guru could have, to getting Beyonce tickets though,” another fan wrote. “Stop the [cap emoji].” Meanwhile, others joked about how this sort of thing is common for industry vets. “Lmao His Dm went haywire,” a commenter posted. “I know Hov left every group chat he was in once the tour was announced.” While many spoke pessimistically of their chances to get tickets, some are still on their grind. “Nah n***a you got them tickets, where they at?” a user demanded. “Run me two tickets…. Just two.”

Meanwhile, the RENAISSANCE tour’s announcement arrived shortly after Beyoncé’s private Dubai show, which reportedly netted her $45 million. With such spectacle in mind, it’s no wonder that the star producer would find it harder to nab tickets. Regardless, fans all over the world will be able to experience RENAISSANCE live, starting with her European leg. Moreover, the tour starts in Stockholm, Sweden and move to Paris, Amsterdam, and beyond. Then, her North America tour begins in Toronto and will travel across major U.S. cities.

Still, what do you think of Young Guru posting a PSA-like message that he doesn’t have Beyoncé tour tickets? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below and share your strategy to nab seats. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news on Beyoncé, her tour, and her artistry.
