How much do Beyoncé tickets usually cost?
Ticket prices for Beyoncé’s tours have risen over the years as her stardom has grown. Here are some average ticket prices for her previous major concert tours:

What factors affect Beyoncé ticket prices?
Some key factors that determine Beyoncé ticket prices include:
- Venue – Prices are higher for big stadium shows versus smaller arena shows
- City/Market – Big markets like New York and Los Angeles tend to be more expensive
- Seat Location – Floor and front row seats cost more than upper levels
- Tour Promoter – Some promoters charge higher prices than others
- Demand – Extremely high demand leads to spikes in resale ticket prices
Promoters and Beyoncé’s team analyze all these factors when pricing tickets for each tour.
When is Beyoncé going on tour next?
Currently Beyoncé has not announced any upcoming tour dates or concrete tour plans. Her last solo concert tour was The Formation World Tour in 2016.
However, rumors have been swirling that Beyoncé has been prepping a tour announcement for 2023 or 2024. She was reportedly planning a tour for 2020 before it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now that live music is back in full swing and Beyoncé has released her new Renaissance album, fans are eager for a tour announcement. But nothing official has been shared by Beyoncé’s team yet.
How much will Beyoncé’s next tour tickets cost?
It’s impossible to know for sure how much Beyoncé will charge for her next tour until ticket pricing is announced. However, based on the pricing for her previous tours, we can make some educated guesses.
Regular Ticket Prices
For regular lower and mid-range ticket prices, Beyoncé will likely charge in the range of $200-$600 per ticket. Here are some potential average price points:
- Nosebleeds/Upper Level: $200-$300
- Lower Level/End Zones: $350-$500
- Floor Seats: $500-$600+
Of course, these are just estimates and the actual prices could be higher or lower depending on the factors already outlined like venue, city, and demand.
VIP/Platinum Tickets
Expect Beyoncé to also offer premium VIP and platinum tickets with extra perks like meet and greets, exclusive merchandise, and top-tier seat locations. These could go for $1,000 or more per ticket.
Given Beyoncé’s celebrity status, die-hard fans will likely pay big bucks for special VIP access.
Resale Ticket Prices
The other major factor is the resale ticket market. Due to huge demand, Beyoncé tickets often resell for multiples of face value. For a previous show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the average resale price was reportedly around $1,500.
Beyoncé’s team will take measures to limit resales. But expect huge demand to drive massive resale prices, potentially doubling or tripling face value.
How fast will Beyoncé tour tickets sell out?
Whenever Beyoncé announces a tour, it’s safe to expect tickets to sell out extremely quickly. Here are some potential scenarios:
- VIP/Platinum Tickets – Could sell out immediately or within minutes
- Regular Verified Fan Presales – Hours or days. Beyoncé may structure presales to spread out demand.
- General Public On-Sale – Minutes or hours at most. High demand will overwhelm supply of remaining tickets.
Beyoncé has huge fanship around the world who jump at the chance to see her live. Even in big stadiums and arenas, the frenzy of fans trying to buy tickets online and crush of demand will likely make tickets vanish fast.
Ways to Improve Your Chances
Here are some tips to help improve your odds of getting tickets:
- Buy pre-sale tickets – Register ahead of time for artist presales like Verified Fan
- Buy early – Purchase on the first day of sales if possible
- Use multiple devices – Try buying tickets on a computer, phone, etc.
- Get online early – Log in ahead of time before tickets go on sale
- Buy resale – Be prepared to pay more for hot resale tickets
Conclusion
Beyoncé is one of the world’s biggest artists, which means scoring tickets to her next tour will be competitive and expensive. While we don’t know exactly what the ticket prices will be yet, based on her previous tours, expect the majority of seats to end up in the $200 to $600 range – if you can get your hands on them before they sell out fast.
The best advice is to be ready to buy tickets the moment sales begin, consider splurging on VIP packages, and prepare for the reality you’ll probably end up buying resale tickets. As a once-in-a-generation superstar, Beyoncé tickets will cost a premium. But for her millions of fans around the globe, the opportunity to see Queen Bey live in concert is priceless.
