BEY, Girl Please……

Beyoncé tickets are on sale, and my teenager is all up in her feels about it. “Mama, I’ve been a good person. Can you get me and my friend tickets to Beyoncé? Maybe call one of your famous friends you don’t really talk to, to pull some strings?”

I’m like this kid has lost her teenage mind? How does she know we aren’t already on it? We have taken her to see “Almost Queen” an awesome Queen cover-band, Kendrick Lamar, and Iron Maiden. We’re a family with eclectic musical taste. The thoughts of Beyoncé live in concert is a no brainer. So, I thought.

Ruh Roh! Hold my checkbook. Have you seen the price of those tickets? Beyoncé’s hit, You Won’t Break My Soul should be You gonna break my bank account. How am I going to let babygirl down easy?

“Um, Lo? We can’t do Bey. It’s way too much money. A price of a cheap ticket is a flight from Baltimore to California, a Airbnb in West Palm Beach. I can’t justify that sting from the Beehive.”

Well suffice it to say, I’m now in the teenage version of the doghouse, and can’t wait till this kid gets a job and some bills of her own.

Thanks Bey, but this Brown Skin Girl, is gonna wait for the Disney Plus concert.

    I love her and the album but you will NEVER see me pay that much for a show. It’s scandalous

      Ticketmaster controls the situation. That’s why prince was selling tickets from his own website. He didn’t wanna deal with them. Ultimately he still had to deal with them but the bottom line is this thing is bigger than all of us. If it was fair, the prices wouldn’t be anywhere near this. I saw the formation tour, my friend played keyboards on that tour. The tickets we got were maybe 250 each 300 at the most. That was fine, . justifiable but what I see scalpers getting these are the tickets that they’re selling these are resell prices that you see and it’s sickening that scalpers were able to get these tickets before the regular fan. That’s why Taylor Swift is fans are suing these people because it’s not fair for the regular fan

    I totally agree with you! I know it cost alot for production, staff etc, but come on Bey. She is already super wealthy and doesn’t really need to make more millions from ticket sales. She should sale tickets at an affordable and reasonably price for her fans because THEY are the reason she is so popular and wealthy today. I love her lyrics and energy as well as the music but what I don’t love are the way these performers are greedy and no longer humble. I don’t care and not envious at all with their multi million dollar homes, and the lifestyles they live but for us hard working trying to survive in this overpriced material world its crazy with what they demand (and this even includes some of their demands in their riders).
    So , no thank you to feeling the live energy of a performer and the excitement and sensory overload of the crowds. Like you ,I will wait to watch and stream on my devices in my cozy humble home. Ps I would never pay to see madonna ever again, or cher, or Elton…. it’s become a joke. Lip synced pre recorded arrangements with theatrics and look a Likes.
