Beyoncé’s Highly Anticipated "Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour": Everything You Need to Know
Beyoncé is gearing up for her highly anticipated "Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour," marking her first solo tour since the record-breaking Renaissance World Tour in 2023. Named after her 2024 album Cowboy Carter, this tour is already making waves, with the album breaking records for the most first-day streams for a country album by a female artist. The Renaissance World Tour was a massive success, selling 2.7 million tickets and grossing over $500 million, but it also left many fans struggling to secure tickets due to overwhelming demand, which at times exceeded 800% of venue capacity. Given Beyoncé’s history of sold-out shows and skyrocketing ticket demand, fans will need to act quickly to grab tickets for this year’s tour, which kicks off on April 28 in Los Angeles and concludes on July 11 in Atlanta, with stops in select cities across the U.S., U.K., and France.
How to Secure Tickets for Beyoncé’s 2025 Tour
For fans hoping to see Beyoncé live, there are multiple opportunities to purchase tickets through presales before the general sale begins. The general ticket sale starts on February 14 at 12 p.m. ET via Beyoncé’s official website. However, fans can also access exclusive presales through various channels. The BeyHive Presale, dedicated to Beyoncé’s loyal fanbase, runs from February 11 at 12 p.m. ET to February 12 at 11 a.m. ET. Additionally, fans who registered for the Artist Presale through Live Nation before the deadline of February 6 can purchase tickets starting February 13 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. Sponsored presales further expand access, with Citi cardholders able to buy tickets from February 12 at 12 p.m. to February 13 via the Citi Entertainment program. Verizon customers will also have exclusive access to select shows during the same period, while Mastercard users in London and Paris can purchase tickets early for the international dates.

These select dates promise to deliver unforgettable performances, but fans will need to act fast to secure tickets for these highly sought-after shows.
Avoiding Ticket Scams: What Fans Need to Know
With Beyoncé’s tour expected to be one of the biggest musical events of 2025, Ticketmaster has issued a warning about fraudulent ticket listings. The company emphasized that no tickets have been officially sold yet, and any listings from unofficial sources should be treated as scams. Ticketmaster also cautioned against speculative ticketing, where unofficial sellers list tickets they don’t actually own, hoping to acquire them later to fulfill their listings. This practice unfairly forces fans to compete with resellers, making it harder to purchase tickets through legitimate sources. Fans have taken to social media to express frustration over Ticketmaster’s pricing strategies and accessibility, especially as Live Nation, Ticketmaster’s parent company, faces a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice over alleged monopolistic practices in the concert industry.
Final Tips for Landing Beyoncé Tickets
Given the intense demand and the presence of scalpers, fans need to be strategic to secure legitimate tickets for Beyoncé’s tour. First, registering early for presales is crucial, whether through the BeyHive, Artist Presale, or sponsored opportunities. Second, fans should only purchase tickets from official sources, such as Beyoncé’s website or Ticketmaster, to avoid falling victim to scams. Additionally, fans should avoid buying resale tickets too early, as any listings appearing before February 11 are likely fraudulent. Being prepared for a quick checkout is also essential; logging into ticketing accounts in advance and having payment details ready can make all the difference when tickets go live.
