I sure hope.  I'm not trying to rub necks with 1k people

Club Renny has roughly the same amount of space as Club Carter, and idk if it's correct but I heard Club Carter was 700-800 per city.

Sorry - should have been re-worked

Had Up - I wished she sung it in her lighter register (like she is doing on Renaissance)

Sandcastles - No Comment

All Night - I agree with a poster a few pages back - It could have been better. 

i have 0 issues with All Night cuz for me its the perfect Bey song, but i do wish she had included the things she did for the Tidal Performance, especially when she was belting with the mic so far from her mouth

She is, if those were the face value of the tickets.

 

For instance, my club rennie seats were 950 USD, after fees they were 1200-1300 each, the after ticket fees are what Ticketmaster collects, but the 950 USD per ticket is part of her gross.  The fees are added after during checkout.

 

Dynamic pricing absolutely benefits the artist, they have to opt in, and no way would an artist agree to mark their tickets up 100% just to give the extra to Ticketmaster.  They're definitely collecting the ticket sales pre fees

 

$2,200 is the current resale prices. actually, even that is an exaggeration. I'm looking right now and a resale CR ticket to her birthday show in LA is $1750.

 

Club Rennie seats were around $950 for almost all the in-demand dates, I think.

Sick of Ticketmaster with their official platinum tickets. 
 

 

 

 

Reminds me of this. I think she’s probably still punishing us for this by withholding the visuals now, considering DV is actually like one of her best videos (and songs, and live performances etc etc )

 

According to an MTV News staff report, as of July 2006, more than two thousand people had signed an online petition addressed to Beyoncé's record label, Columbia, demanding a reshoot for the video.^[60] By the end of August 2006, 5000 additional fans had signed it.^[16] The petition requested the clip to be taped again because it was considered to be "an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music-video projects of Ms. Beyoncé".^[60] Included in the laundry list of offenses were "a lack of theme, dizzying editing, over-the-top wardrobe choices, and unacceptable interactions" between Beyoncé and her now-husband, Jay-Z. Beyoncé's dance moves were also called into question by the petition, qualifying them as "erratic, confusing and alarming at times".^[60]Additionally, fans complained about the sexual theme depicted in the video, describing that some scenes as "unacceptable interactions [between Beyoncé and Jay-Z]" while also complaining of a "non-existent sexual chemistry" between the two.^[63]

That last line is so funny and accurate

This was awful, I remember the petition, and how much attention it got.  If you could see the archives here, there was definitely a thread lol.  Not sure why it got so much hate

Guys stop doing that it's so toxic and unfair to the other person. And also that's how you end up alone  I've seen it way too many times. It's sad.

If the visuals aren't here by the time the tour starts, probably not. But I imagine they'll drop before then.

She is busy with the tour now so nope. 

It's a shame we're clearly to the point we won't get live performances outside of the tour or private venues. That's the real nightmare of this whole situation.

Hold Up isn't a cute pop song though, I love her lower register on it, it adds maturity and a layer of realness and grit a light vocal wouldn't.

No but for real I kinda feel actual resentment towards her for this whole ordeal. Sure, she don't owe us anything but it's just really not cool of her.

For this era though. I don't think this is just what Beyonce is now when she performed at the Oscars a few months before the era started. It could be that this is how things are moving forward (no performances, no music videos arriving in a timely manner) but I think she's just making a point with this album.... What said point is, is yet to be seen.

I'm absolutely sure we are getting visuals, I just think it must incorporate music from another album, and it isn't time yet.

When is the time then? We've been waiting so long for SOMETHING to happen and here we are still... waiting...

If that’s the case maybe that’s the strategy for avoiding a second album underperformance (evermore, dawn fm, etc.)

What's this about?

Terrorism 101

 

1) Make the album with the most niche appeal of your career

2) Do nothing whatsoever to foster relations with said niche; undermine and avert every expectation niche will reasonably have after an album explicitly dedicated to them, as well as after several decades stanning and supporting iconic female entertainers such as yourself

2A) Under no circumstances be seen or heard, say nothing, crack a smile once a year at most so it's kind of a big deal when it happens, and leave the house for award statuettes and/or $35M only

3) Announce a tour followed by the least intuitive ticket rollout of all time
