Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' tour pre-sales have revealed a stark contrast in ticket pricing between different pre-sale events, with some fans paying triple the amount for identical seats.

During the BeyHive pre-sale at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, Section 232 tickets cost $595 plus $226.30 in service fees, totaling $1,417.30. The following day, Verizon pre-sale offered identical seats for $199 plus $100.40 in fees, totaling just $553.40 with parking included.

Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing system set ticket ranges from $105.25 to $4,769.52 for standard tickets, excluding VIP and hotel packages. The pricing strategy appears to specifically target super fans who register for early access, leading to significantly higher prices during the BeyHive pre-sale compared to subsequent pre-sale events.

Fans have voiced their frustration on social media, particularly regarding the dramatic price differences between pre-sale events. One fan noted, "There's no reason a nosebleed ticket should have been over $500 yesterday and less than 100 today."

This pricing strategy effectively redirects money that might have gone to scalpers back to artists and venues, though at the cost of charging premium prices to their most dedicated fans. While fans express dissatisfaction with the prices, many are still purchasing tickets despite the elevated costs.
