How much are Beyoncé tickets? Fans fume over Ticketmaster prices for Cowboy Carter tour
Ready to see Beyoncé? Of course you are, but your wallet might not be.
Stylecaster says the average price for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour is $70-$400. However, the fees associated with these prices can make people pause before entering their credit card information.
VIP packages through Ticketmaster range from $732 to $2,958. Options like the 'Real Live Boogie' package offer lower prices, while the exclusive 'Buckin' Honey Pit' and 'Sweet Honey Pit' experience command premium prices.
While Beyoncé fans — known as the "Beyhive" — go hard for their favorite artist, many are upset at the prices for this upcoming tour.
See what fans are saying.
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour kicks off on April 28. She has two dates in Houston, June 28-29. There's plenty of anticipation for her first country album tour, and fans have plenty to be vexed about regarding ticket prices.
See what they had to say:
According to Vox, Ticketmaster doesn't directly control ticket pricing. Instead, artists, promoters, sports teams, and venues set the face value prices for tickets. Ticket pricing is set by demand. Ticketmaster acts as a primary ticketing company, providing the technology and services needed to sell and manage tickets. They add service fees, covering costs for venues, the ticketing company, and other involved parties.
Last year, the Department of Justice sued Live Nation which owns Ticketmaster for how much control it has on the live music and sports entertainment market.
In the complaint, the DOJ claims that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is unlawfully using its monopoly power, violating Section 2 of the Sherman Act. The Sherman Antitrust Act is a law that prohibits anticompetitive business practices and promotes fair competition. This conduct results in U.S. music fans lacking access in other ways to purchase general public tickets and paying higher prices compared to fans in other countries.
Additionally, the suit says Live Nation-Ticketmaster's influence over performers, venues, and independent promoters is harmful to competition. The company also creates barriers that prevent its competitors from entering and expanding in the market, according to the lawsuit.
As of now, the lawsuit is still ongoing.
In March 2024, Beyoncé released her highly praised eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter." The album received recognition for tracks including "Bodyguard," "LEVI'S JEANS" featuring Post Malone, "Spaghetti" featuring Linda Martell and Shaboozey, "16 Carriages," "II Most Wanted" featuring Miley Cyrus, and "Ya Ya."
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles was born on Sept. 4, 1981 in Houston, where she grew up. Her mother is Celestine "Tina" Knowles and her father is Matthew Knowles. Tina was a costume designer and hair stylist while Matthew was a professional record manager.
Before Beyoncé's solo career, she was in the group "Destiny's Child." Their recording career lasted from 1998 to 2004 and they sold over 50 million records worldwide while winning two Grammy Awards and nine nominations.

'I told her, 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.'
