Beyonce Renaissance Tickets Prices Are Reaching $4,000+

Ticketmaster’s ‘new method’ to ticket gross sales hasn’t resulted in decrease costs. Ticket costs for the Beyonce Renaissance tour have reached $,4000+. 

Ticketmaster introduced the brand new method of dividing cities into three teams with staggered registration deadlines and presale dates. The objective was to reduce the affect of bots—however the outcomes have been disastrous for precise followers. 

VIP packages started at $3,700 for a single ticket, with a $550 service cost from Ticketmaster tacked on. However even probably the most ‘reasonably priced’ seats are seeing sky-high service charges on their lower than affordable ticket costs. A ticket value of $162 generated a service price of $43.90. These tacked on charges are one merchandise of debate amongst regulators for creating extra clear ticket gross sales for followers. 

Ticketmaster has already admitted that demand for Beyonce has outpaced even Taylor Swift. 2.4 million followers purchased ‘Eras’ tickets inside their first few hours of availability, exceeding demand by 243%. In the meantime, the demand for Renaissance tickets has exceeded 800% by Ticketmaster’s personal estimates. 

Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing method is on the coronary heart of the difficulty. The extra demand there may be for the tickets, the upper the value will rise.

Which means even larger ticket costs on the secondary market. Why didn’t Beyonce use one other service? Ticketmaster is owned by Reside Nation, who owns the stadium venues during which Beyonce desires to attract her large crowds. It’s a catch-22 that Reside Nation promised wouldn’t occur when it merged with Ticketmaster in 2010. 

“As a result of the variety of Verified Followers will exceed the variety of obtainable tickets, there can be dissatisfied individuals,” provides David Herlihy, a Professor at Northeastern and coordinator of its Music Business program. Herlihy spoke to Forbes about how he thinks the Ticketmaster sale of Beyonce tickets will go. “Ticketmaster might assist itself by being extra clear. Which means telling followers what number of tickets can be found at every venue earlier than they go on sale. Ideally, there could be an ideal match between provide and demand with no value gouging—however that may be a fairy story.”
