Beyoncé is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, with millions of fans across the globe eagerly awaiting her live performances. Her upcoming 2023 Renaissance world tour is set to be one of the hottest tickets around, with fans desperate to see Queen Bey grace the stage with her incredible vocals, dance moves and show-stopping production.
In the UK, demand for Beyoncé tickets is sky-high as she has not toured here since her acclaimed Formation World Tour in 2016. Fans are clamoring to secure tickets for Beyoncé’s two UK dates scheduled for May 2023 at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
UK Tour Dates & Venues
Beyoncé has announced two UK dates on her Renaissance 2023 world tour:
| Date | Venue | Location |
|---|---|---|
| May 15, 2023 | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | London, UK |
| May 16, 2023 | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | London, UK |
Both shows will take place at the 62,850 capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, home of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur. With massive ticket demand, these dates are expected to sell out rapidly.
Ticket Prices
Official ticket prices for Beyoncé’s UK tour dates have not yet been announced. However, looking at ticket prices for her previous tours provides an indication of what fans can expect to pay:
| Tour | Year | Average Ticket Price |
|---|---|---|
| Formation World Tour | 2016 | £150 |
| On The Run II Tour (with Jay-Z) | 2018 | £200 |
Given Beyoncé’s superstar status and the immense hype surrounding her Renaissance tour, it is likely that average ticket prices could top £200. Front row and VIP packages will cost substantially more.
Compared to prices for other major pop acts touring the UK in 2023, Beyoncé tickets are at the very top end, reflecting her position as one of the most in-demand live performers in the world.
When Do Tickets Go On Sale?
An official ticket on-sale date has not been announced yet by Beyoncé’s team or the tour promoters.
Looking at her previous tour on-sales gives some indication of when Renaissance tickets could become available:
| Tour | On-Sale Date | Days Before 1st Show |
|---|---|---|
| Formation World Tour | February 2016 | 4 months |
| On The Run II Tour | March 2018 | 3 months |
Given the first UK show is May 2023, tickets realistically could go on sale anytime between January and March 2023.
As soon as concrete ticket on-sale information is announced, it will spread rapidly across Beyoncé’s social media channels and fan sites like Beyoncé Online.
Expected Ticket Demand
Demand for Beyoncé’s UK tour dates is expected to far exceed supply.
Her fans, known as the BeyHive, are among the most loyal and passionate in pop music fandom. The BeyHive will turn out en masse to secure tickets during the inevitable rush.
An indication of the phenomenal demand is the registration page Beyoncé set up for the US leg of the tour, which crashed within hours due to overwhelming traffic. Over 1.5 million people had registered even before any tickets went on sale.
In the UK, Beyoncé has not headlined solo stadium shows since her I Am… World Tour in 2009, over 15 years ago. For an entire generation of younger fans, this will be their first chance to see Queen Bey live.
Given it has been nearly a decade since her last solo tour, anticipation for her return to the UK concert stage is massive. These shows are sure to sell out within minutes once tickets go on sale.
How To Get Tickets
When Beyoncé tickets do go on sale, fans will want to be prepared with the following tips:
– Register for presale access – Beyoncé’s team will likely offer an exclusive presale for fan club members and those who register ahead of time. Presales allow you early access to purchase tickets before the general public.
– Buy from official ticket sites – Stick to official sources like Ticketmaster UK rather than reseller sites to avoid exorbitant markups and potential scams. Fake tickets will be rife due to huge demand.
– Get online ahead of time – Ticket sites invariably crash under heavy traffic so log in early and keep refreshing. Have all your payment details ready to go for a speedy purchase.
– Aim for midweek shows – Ticket demand tends to be lower for weeknight dates so you may have a better chance compared to weekend shows.
– Team up – Coordinate with other fans online to try to secure tickets together and in different sections. More people trying means more chances to beat the rush.
– StubHub reservation – If you miss out on initial sales, StubHub’s reservation system lets you lock in verified resale tickets for when they get listed. But expect to pay premium prices.
Conclusion
Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Renaissance world tour arriving in the UK next May is undoubtedly going to be one of the toughest and most in-demand tickets of 2023. With multiple dates at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ticket prices are likely to average over £200. The BeyHive fan army will snap up tickets in seconds when they eventually go on sale between January and March. Diligent preparation and coordination will be required to score these coveted seats to see Queen Bey back on a UK stage. This could well be the pop music event of the year that no fan will want to miss.
