Ticketmaster has issued a warning to Beyoncé fans ahead of the Cowboy Carter tour, cautioning against scam resellers offering tickets before they officially go on sale. The company highlighted the issue of speculative listing, where unofficial sellers list tickets they don’t actually own, hoping to secure them later and resell for a profit.
Pre-sale tickets for Beyoncé’s upcoming U.S. and European tour opened on February 11, with general sales beginning on February 14. Ticketmaster emphasized that any resale tickets listed before this are fake and urged fans to only purchase from verified sources.
Do not trust anyone trying to sell you tickets before they go on sale beginning Tuesday, 2/11. These are scammers trying to sell you fake tickets.

A new scam involving pre-sale access codes has also emerged, with scammers selling codes that won’t work. Ticketmaster clarified that only they can issue official codes, which are unique to each user and non-transferable.
Beyoncé’s tour kicks off in Los Angeles on April 28, with stops in Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, and more before concluding in Atlanta on July 13. Given the high demand, fans are advised to be extra cautious when buying tickets.
