How are y'all going to tell the the professionals what numbers to report? Anyways this was reported by bey legion so I'm thinking the shows will be reported as sold out

There is literally no way in hell every single seat and every single show as sold. It's a common tactic to remove straggler seats from sale at the last minute to get 100% sold out.

 

But there were a few hundred seats at least for several of the LA dates. 
 

I agree she should just report accurately. There's a fetish over things being sold out. The gross will be super impressive. And perhaps not reporting them as sold out will be a lesson in ticket sale strategy for the third tour 

Finally someone living in the real world. 

Can someone answer why every time Beyonce reports numbers they are always questioned (even by her own fans) but not other artists?

 

Is there a reason?

It just hit me that I will be seeing her thursday

I disagree. The BILG is attribute to the black icon that is Frankie Beverly. And it's done beautifully 

 

heated is mixed with a very popular up and coming song by a black southern man.

 

bey is always intentional with her art. You might not like it and want something gayer but there is a large section of her older fan base that likes and appreciate it 

Girl.  You cannot school me on Frankie Beverly (and Maze).  Or 803.  Bey already did BILG last tour. Ppl want to hear HER songs not covers she JUST did.

 

She can mix Boots w another song, its incompatible w Heated and sounds a noisy mess.

has anyone seen this stuff about potential visual stills featuring Xtina on Beyoncé's Echo bodysuit? 
 

would feel like a strange celeb cameo for the visuals tbh especially if Britney is in them too (which was previously leaked goss, right?). But would fit with the thing about the visuals being star studded 

I doubt the setlist will change at this point tbh. 

The only things I would change is making either Irreplaceable or IIWAB longer, as they seem to be the biggest people pleaser and add All Night and Halo by sacrificing one or two CC songs (Blackbird, JFF, Desert Eagle...). 

 

Outfits wise, get rid of the CIL outfit or at least the boost and bring back the red outfit.

I really like the red outfit.

 

It will probably be reported as sold out. She kept adding last-minute tickets which probably means that most of her sold-out quota was attained and they were gunning for a bonus. 

 

Live Nation has always reported shows above a certain threshold as sold out. I doubt it will be different for Beyoncé just because her haters are loud. 

But I do see @Lose My Breath's point. 

It's interesting that a lot of replies say stop pocket watching and she doesn't actually have a billion in her bank.

Frankie Beverly died after renessaince tour was completed. He was actually friends with her and her family..it makes perfect sense why she is doing it

I see why she's doing it but I too, hate the Heated mix lmao

This whole tickets thing has been interesting to observe. 

 

I'm super invested in Bey's success and understand/support the PR "measures" being taken to ensure her crown stays intact when it comes to box office reporting. She ought never to give the haters, naysayers, and detractors any fuel to jab her (because they absolutely would...and are).

 

At the same time, all I'll say is that I hope she, her team, and the promoters are already working on a teflon strategy for Act III and its companion tour. 

 

There's no denying that CC Tour will be a smash, but as we've seen with OTR2 and select dates on this tour, Bey is not "above" having speed bumps. Especially when there's distance from the last "buzzy" thing she's done. Touring CC almost a year and a half after its release (when it wasn't a Rennie, virally speaking) was a...choice. 

 

For Act III, it should go something like:

 

* Q1/Q2 2026 release for Act III album (basically, a refreshed take on the CC era rollout)

 

* The long-awaited release of the Echoville film alongside Act III or very close after

 

- if she can sustain the buzz and generate virality, then that should tide her over til latter 2026 -

 

* Late 2026 - Announce the Act III tour for 2027

 

* Start Act III tour early 2027 in regions she's not touched in years (Oceania, Latin America) and circle back to her strongest "usual" cities (NY, Houston, ATL, LA, London, Paris) and wrap this epic, amazing, and lowkey torturous three-act saga AHP!

 

Note: I'm sure she's going to stretch this all out, so 2027 probably is indeed the overall wrap frame. BUT...I really see a window where she can pull off making that happen in 2026. And highkey hope she does. Especially if the Act III tour is centered around markets begging her to come for over a decade (Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Italy etc). It's such an easy $$$ win. Plus, the reality is that she won't be touring for a while after she wraps the trilogy, so letting Act III be her era to go wide allows her to refill her buzz cup in ALL markets ahead of when she returns for her first post-trilogy era tour.

 

"Treat em mean to keep em keen"...or more professionally speaking..."scarcity marketing" has long been a genius marketing strategy and easily works with Bey.

Yall be fr... 

 

If some Formation Tour (cough cough Pittsburgh) and OTR II dates were marked as sold out then so will CC dates.

The way she lightly taps her head because she doesn't want to harm the actress. 

I could care less about ticket sales I just hope SHE is aware of the mess this ticketing situation was and learns from it. I want Happy Meal Prices  from the jump. Start the trend of cheapish concert tickets again and expand the seating to make up for the loss in cash or do a 360 show.

With the current maniac in office I'm not forking out almost an entire month of rent to be on the floor just for my view to be blocked by fans  and distant staging nor am I spending hundreds to sit in heaven with the boring geepee and a pair of binoculars to see from a distance.

It is like this with every single tour, I don't get the drama. Once it's above a certain quota, it gets reported as a sell out. 50 or a hundred seats don't make a difference she still broke records with this engagement. You're acting like she's doing the parking lot like certain others.
