Beyoncé has been making headlines recently due to her extortionate ticket prices. Even die-hard fans have had enough of her greedy money-grabbing on her latest tour, forcing her to slash ticket prices. But this has just upset them further.

The Cowboy Carter album certainly hasn't been the best Beyoncé has produced. Sure, it won three Grammys, but everyone knows they're a farce. The album had zero sticking power in the Billboard charts, and the tour ticket sales are all the proof we needed to know it was a flop.
Like with most of Beyoncés previous album tours, everyone expected tickets to sell out. But she released the initial wave of tickets for a disgusting price, and they just didn't move. Combined with the fact that her album is pretty weak and the extortionate ticket prices, none of her stadium tours have sold out.
Rumors were heard that the faltering ticket sales, both internationally and domestically, were Ticketmaster's fault. Now, I think TicketMaster are the scourge of live events, but it had something to say about these claims.
They insisted there was nothing wrong with their platform. It was even rumored that the Beyoncé PR team started these rumors themselves. Either way, Beyoncé saw terrible ticket sales, and now she's slashed prices, leaving many fans feeling very put out.
Beyoncé Fans Realise They Have Been Scammed On Ticket Prices
The people who decided to fork out sometimes thousands for their Beyoncé tickets have noticed something going on. Initially, they were stuck in presale queues, navigating the hellscape of buying a ticket, believing that tickets were sold out.
One TikTok user says she spent a total of $1500 for a ticket. But, she's gone back online to find that not only are the tickets not sold out, her same ticket is now going for only $634. A call was made for other people who had paid the massive initial Beyoncé ticket prices to check their new prices.
Hundreds of people popped up, realizing that they had paid more than double for tickets that were still available. They had been scammed out of hundreds of dollars, believing there was a rush to buy tickets. However, looking at most of the events, there are still hundreds of seats left for half the initial price.
Some people are able to transfer their seats to better ones, but nobody is getting a refund. Greedy Beyoncé strikes again.
