Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour struggles to sell out despite 75% price drop, tickets going for less than McDonald's meal
Beyoncé is making a comeback to the stage with her upcoming Cowboy Carter tour, but with just days to go, the ticket sales are not going as planned.
The Cowboy Carter tour was meant to be Beyoncé's grand return to the stage. Her tenth concert tour sees the star perform 22 concerts in the US, UK, and France. But just two days before the first concert begins in LA, tickets for many shows have yet to sell out. According to a new report, the singer is now facing online ridicule as the tickets are not selling despite a steep drop in prices.
Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour ticket sales
On Twitter, many users pointed out that tickets for many shows in the US had come down to the price of a 'McDonald's Meal'. Music fans took to Twitter (now X) to point out that resale tickets for the Los Angeles concert are now priced at $20, a 75% drop from the original price of $85. Many pointed out that the $20 selling price was less than McDonald's new Minecraft meal, launched in association with The Minecraft Movie. It sells for over $21 in the US.
Online, the singer was roasted for what was taken as her inability to sell out concerts this close to the tour start. "The Cowboy Carter tour starts in less than a week, and there are still thousands of tickets left for opening night..." one tweet read.
Fans defend Beyonce
Many Beyoncé fans defended the singer, saying that even her last tour picked up late. "Wait till the tour starts, once those clips start dropping, people will be flocking to get tickets, I know it," wrote one fan. Others pointed out that the $20 price is for resale tickets, meaning that Beyonce and her team has already made their profits from them.
