- Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour tickets are being mocked online for low resale prices compared to fast food meals.
- Fans defend Beyonce, reminding critics that slow early sales happened before her record-breaking Renaissance tour too.
- Despite criticism, Cowboy Carter has been a major success, topping music charts and winning big at the Grammys.
Beyonce is facing heavy criticism online as Cowboy Carter tour tickets have dropped to shockingly low prices. Some fans discovered resale tickets for her show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for just $20. One user on X (formerly known as Twitter) compared the ticket price to a McDonald’s Minecraft Meal, which costs about $21.39. The comparison quickly went viral. Many users joined in mocking the superstar for what they see as weak ticket sales. Another fan pointed out that while some tickets were $27 earlier, prices later increased slightly to $37 for the cheapest seats. Still, the low demand has caused a lot of chatter online.
Thousands of Unsold Seats as Tour Kickoff Approaches
The Cowboy Carter tour is just days away, yet thousands of tickets remain unsold. One user posted a screenshot of the seating chart, showing a sea of empty seats at SoFi Stadium. Many critics labeled the situation as a disaster for Beyonce. Some even declared her career to be “over” based on the slow ticket sales. Fans noted that, at one point, entire sections of the stadium had plenty of available seats. Despite this, loyal supporters believe the situation will turn around once the tour officially kicks off. They argue that excitement will build after fans see the first show.
Loyal Beyonce Fans Defend Her Against Negative Talk
Beyonce’s loyal fans quickly defended her against the negativity. Many pointed out that her Renaissance World Tour in 2023 also started slow but eventually sold out completely. That tour became the highest-grossing tour ever by a Black artist. Supporters believe Cowboy Carter will follow the same path. One fan predicted, “Once the first concert videos come out, people will rush to buy tickets.” Others also reminded critics that the $20 seats are resale tickets, meaning Beyonce already made her money from full-priced ticket sales. Some even joked about the McDonald’s meal comparison, saying their local prices were much cheaper.
Ticket Prices Vary Wildly From Cheap Nosebleeds to Expensive Floor Seats
While some seats are dirt cheap, getting close to Beyonce still comes at a steep price. Floor seats at SoFi Stadium can cost up to $1,500. Many fans complained early on that tickets were too expensive, leading to slower sales overall. Even now, if fans want a premium spot near the stage, they must be willing to pay a high price. The big price gap between the cheap nosebleed seats and expensive floor seats has sparked even more debate about how accessible the tour really is for the average fan.
Critics Blame Beyonce’s New Country Sound for Slow Sales
A major part of the backlash seems tied to Beyonce’s new musical direction. Some critics claim fans are less interested in her country music style. One person commented, “Nobody cares about cowgirl Beyonce.” Others suggested that the Cowboy Carter album deserved a “donation-based” concert instead of a full-price world tour. Despite these negative opinions, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album has been a huge success. It topped the Billboard 200, and the lead single “Texas Hold ‘Em” reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Country charts.
Cowboy Carter Album Proves to Be a Massive Commercial Success
Despite the haters, Beyonce has proven once again that she is a powerhouse. Her Cowboy Carter album not only topped charts but also opened doors in the country music world. Beyonce made history by dominating multiple music genres at once. The success of “Texas Hold ‘Em” shows that fans are responding positively, even if ticket sales for the tour have been slow at the start. Industry experts believe the buzz will only grow once the tour begins and highlights go viral.
Beyonce Kicks Off Cowboy Carter Tour in Los Angeles With Huge Plans
