It’s not clear when she will perform or how to get tickets. But the singer did post a list of cities on her social media after a history-making turn at the awards show on Sunday. She also revealed the tour’s name.

Here is where the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ CIrcuit Tour will stop:

  • Los Angeles
  • Chicago
  • New York
  • London
  • Paris
  • Houston
  • Atlanta
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Las Vegas

The Grammy-winning singer revealed that she will be going on tour for her eighth studio album “Cowboy Carter” the night before Sunday’s Grammy Awards.

In the caption below the list of cities, Beyoncé wrote, “SHE COMING.”

Notably missing from the list is Nashville, Tennessee, the home of country music. “Cowboy Carter” is Beyoncé’s first country album, and she has written about how it was inspired by how she didn’t feel welcome in the genre.

Last year, she wasn’t nominated for any Country Music Association Awards.

But on Sunday, she took home three Grammys. She won her first album of the year award along with two country music awards.

Beyoncé first teased the announcement by posting a cryptic Instagram post with the date Jan. 14 following her epic Christmas Day halftime performance, dubbed the Beyoncé Bowl. However, she postposed the big surprise due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

Beyoncé last toured in 2023, when she kicked off her record-breaking Renaissance World Tour to accompany her 2022 album, “Renaissance.”

Of course, Beyoncé first announced “Cowboy Carter” during a surprise Super Bowl commercial in February when she released singles “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The 27-track project has been huge catalyst for the recent spotlight on Black country artists and the genre’s roots.

Prior to sharing the album with the rest of the world, Beyoncé got candid about creating the five-year project and alluded to her 2016 performance at the CMA Awards.

“This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she wrote on Instagram. “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. Act ii is a result of challenging myself and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.”

Beyoncé fans rush for “Cowboy Carter” tickets — what you need to know https://newroomnews.com/beyonce-fans-rush-for-cowboy-carter-tickets-what-you-need-to-know/ https://newroomnews.com/beyonce-fans-rush-for-cowboy-carter-tickets-what-you-need-to-know/#respond Tue, 11 Feb 2025 21:12:19 +0000 https://newroomnews.com/?p=50 Photo of a singer performing on stage with dancers behind her.

Thousands of Beyoncé fans queued up Tuesday for the highly anticipated “Cowboy Carter” tour coming to Soldier Field in May.

The latest: The Grammy award-winning artist added a third show (Sunday, May 18) to her Chicago stop.

  • Public ticket sales start Friday, but presales started yesterday and continue for the rest of the week.

Zoom in: Presale tickets are offered by everyone from the artist to the venue to credit card customers.

  • They give fans a real shot at tickets but don’t offer discounts or guarantees.

Presales for the “Cowboy Carter” tour include:

BeyHive Presale: Anyone who signed up on Beyoncé’s website before Feb 3. Started Tuesday at 12pm, ends Wednesday at 11am.

Citi Cardmember Presale: Open to Citicard credit and debit cardholders. Starts Wednesday at noon and ends Thursday at 11am.

Verizon Up Presale: Available to customers enrolled in the Verizon Up program. Same time as the Citi Cardmember presale.

Artist Presale: Available for anyone who signed up before Feb. 6. Starts Thursday at noon and ends at 10pm.

Yes, but: Presales are not a guarantee for tickets, as they only sell limited batches of tickets. The general ticket sales start at noon Friday.

  • Tickets range from $76 to $4,000, before service fees.

Reality check: It’s not easy to get tickets for shows in high demand, especially when fans are competing against secondary ticket sellers.

  • Those brokers have been accused of using artificial intelligence-powered bots, programmed to gobble tickets up to aid secondary-market ticket sellers and mark up the prices.

What they’re saying: “Beyoncé’s tour will create another battleground across ticketing platforms as bots race to snatch up tickets to resell for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more,” DataDome CEO & co-founder Benjamin Fabre says.

  • He points out that Ticketmaster and other platforms have cracked down on bots with extra security measures.
  • “Beyoncé’s tour will determine whether platforms have learned from past mistakes.”

Ticketmaster and consumer advocates also warn fans of scams, which are on the uptick because of practices like speculative listings.

  • Speculative ticket sales have become all the rage for prospective buyers. You don’t have to wait in line and instead, you can buy from a secondary market, with a markup of course.

Yes, but: Most of these sellers don’t have the tickets yet. They just assume they will. This has caused several consumer fraud incidents and the practice is banned in 22 states, including Illinois.

How to avoid scams: Vivid Seats suggests buying from trusted sources that offer a buyer guarantee. The company also says to avoid buying tickets on social media and check if the seller in question is a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers.

  • That gives you some cover if your ticket-buying experience goes south.
  • Also, don’t buy tickets with cash or apps like Venmo. Vivid says often these types of transactions aren’t legit.
  • Vivid also says don’t share photos of your actual tickets on social media because the info can be copied instantly and used by others. If you must brag, post your tickets after you are already in your seats.
