Fans will soon have the chance through Ticketmaster to buy tickets for Beyoncé’s newly announced “Renaissance” 2023 World Tour, which stops in Chicago in July.
However, a handful of exclusive presales and a lengthy “Verified Fan” registration process has led many music lovers to share their Ticketmaster skepticism on social media.
“Don’t do the same as the eras tour this time PLEASE” one tweet in response to Ticketmaster’s post read, referring to last year’s Taylor Swift presale fiasco that led to the ticketing giant to cancel ‘The Eras Tour’ sale to the general public.
“You better not mess this up! The Beyhive does not play,” said another.
According to Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation, ticketing for the North American leg of Beyoncé’s 41-date tour “will begin” on Feb. 6, with a BeyHive presale.
However, the deadline to register for the chance to buy tickets — presale or not — is coming up.
Here’s a breakdown of how it all works.
How to Get Beyoncé Tickets
“Beyoncé is using Verified Fan to help fans get tickets,” the Live Nation site dedicated to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour says. “Verified Fan requires registration to help filter out buyers looking to resell tickets and create a less crowded ticket shopping experience for fans.”
According to Live Nation, all hopeful ticket buyers must register with “Verified Fan.” However, “registration does not guarantee tickets,” Live Nation says, adding that demand is expected to be high.
“We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available and a lottery-style process will determine which registered Verified Fans receive a unique access code and which are put on the waitlist.”
Additionally, “Verified Fan” registration deadlines vary by city.
For those wishing to buy tickets to Beyoncé’s tour stops in Atlanta, Chicago, East Rutherford, Houston, Inglewood, Las Vegas, Toronto, Ontario and Washington D.C., registration is currently open. It closes at 11:59 p.m. Thursday.
Registration for a variety of presales, which also require registration through “Verified Fan,” are also currently underway through Feb. 2.
The deadline to register to buy tickets for shows in other cities is later in the month.
