Tickets to the first of three groupings of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour dates went on sale Monday and, not surprisingly, are doing brisk business for the Grammy legend.
Thanks in part to staggering the on-sale dates of her May through September tour, there were no ticket sale meltdowns (not yet, anyway) as experienced when Taylor Swift put her tour tickets up for grabs last year.
Queen Bey, who Sunday night became the all-time Grammy champion with a record-setting 32 awards that topped a longtime record by Hungarian conductor Georg Solti, announced her tour last week and immediately saw fan demand exceed the number of tickets by 800%, prompting her to add additional dates.
Group A tickets are now on sale. If you’re in Groups B and C, there’s still some time to get a seat to what promises to be one of the hottest tours in years.
Here’s our detailed look on how to get tickets. For the latest timing details, visit Ticketmaster and find the event info for your desired date and city.
Here’s what else fans should know:
How much are Beyoncé tickets?
USA TODAY found face-value ticket prices that ranged from $62 and up. Club Renaissance tickets were closer to $1,000, and some floor seats were $300 and bowl seats were around $500. Ticket prices will vary according to city and venue.
Many artists have begun to give concert promoters the OK to make a portion of each show’s best seats subject to Dynamic Pricing, which is an attempt to match demand with the supply of premium seats.
The end result can sometimes be prices that far exceed original face value, as some fans of Bruce Springsteen found when dynamically priced seats for his tour cost upwards of $4,000. Only about 12% of Springsteen tickets were sold this way, his management reported.
