Internet Reacts To Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour Ticket Presale

Securing tickets for Beyoncé's highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour turned out to be a frustrating experience for many members of the BeyHive.
On Tuesday (February 11), the first batch of presale tickets were made available to BeyHive members who had subscribed to Beyoncé's website before or on February 3.
Eligible presale participants received a code ahead of the ticket drop, which occurred at 12 p.m. local time for Bey's touring venues, including stadiums in Los Angeles, Paris, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, London, Washington D.C., and Houston.
Despite receiving exclusive access to the tickets before they open to the public, many BeyHive members were unable to secure their spots for the Grammy Award-winning album tour.
Ticketmaster queues filled up with over 90,000 fans waiting to get into the ticket system to make their purchase. The queues led to long wait times and left many fans without any tickets left to choose from. Some fans noted that the cost of any remaining tickets doubled due to high demand and alleged price gauging.
BeyHive members will still have a chance to purchase tickets in upcoming presale drops for Citi Card holders and Verizon members as well as through Ticketmaster's "Artist Presale" before access to the concert is open to the general public.
However, with such high demand and only a few select cities to choose from, fans expressed their frustrations and grim outlooks on making it to see Bey perform Cowboy Carter live.

Beyoncé with these prices I’ll just stay home and watch Coach Carter.

It’s the fact that I really had a seat in the 100’s for $500 only for them to say that seat was gone but they found me a new seat in the same section. The new seat price jumped $1300 before the fees. GISELLE FIX ITTTTT #CowboyCarterTour pic.twitter.com/eiRHhHJs9C
