Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour is reportedly struggling with ticket sales, sparking backlash from fans over high prices. Many have taken to social media, labeling the singer “greedy” for what they consider overpriced tickets.

Fans Criticize ‘Pricey’ Cowboy Carter Tour Tickets

Set to perform across North America and Europe, including six nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (June 5–16), Beyoncé’s tour has faced unexpected hurdles. Ticket prices range from $93 to $1,231 (£71.60 to £950), plus fees—causing frustration among fans.

Despite the singer’s massive following, reports suggest that sales have been slow. According to pop culture account Pop Stuff, Beyoncé has only sold out 3 of 30 shows, while NewsNation ran a headline reading: “Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour Not Selling Tickets.”

Mixed Reactions: Fans Call Out High Prices

Many fans have voiced their disappointment, citing affordability as a major issue:

• “BEYONCÉ, WHAT ARE THESE PRICES? LONDON BEYHIVE, IT’S OVER!” one fan wrote.
• “She should lower ticket prices—she’s already a billionaire.”
• “Standing tickets for over £220? She’s just like Ticketmaster! A scam!”

Supporters Defend Beyoncé Amid Low Sales Reports

Not all fans agree with the backlash. A Beyoncé fan account on X reported that the tour is actually 95.28% sold out across 28 dates, contradicting claims of poor sales.

Some supporters believe ticket resellers are driving up prices, while others speculate that many fans are waiting until the last minute for cheaper resale tickets.

• “People are holding off buying tickets, hoping for price drops.”
• “It’s all resellers—prices are starting to go down now.”

Expert Explains Why Sales Are Slower This Time

Despite Cowboy Carter’s success—topping country charts and earning Beyoncé her first Album of the Year Grammy—ticket sales remain slower than expected.

According to The London Times, UK sales have been particularly weak. An industry expert told NewsNation that the issue stems from fan fatigue and economic concerns:

“Her fans spent big on her Renaissance tour two years ago. Many also splurged on Taylor Swift tickets. It’s just bad timing financially.”

King Charles Praises Beyoncé’s Talent

Amid the tour drama, Beyoncé received unexpected praise from King Charles III. As part of Apple Music’s The King’s Music Room series, the British monarch named Crazy in Love as one of his favorite songs.

Calling Beyoncé “exceptional and incomparable,” Charles recalled her 2003 performance at the Prince’s Trust Fashion Rocks concert—further cementing her status as a global music icon.
