Beyoncé UK Tour: the probability of picking up tickets to the Cowboy Carter tour - is it bad news?

• Tickets for Beyoncé’s triumphant return to the UK go on sale next week (February 14 2025.)
• However - did you remember to pre-register with Ticketmaster before they go on pre-sale?
• Here’s the probability of getting a ticket to see Queen Bey in London this year - and it’s not looking good.

Are you one of those fans of Beyoncé who forgot to pre-register for pre-sale tickets when they go on sale next week through Ticketmaster?

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your chances of picking one up at this stage is looking rather grim on the face value market.

Ahead of general sales taking place on Valentines Day 2025 (February 14 - don’t forget to send flowers), Ticketmaster implemented a pre-registration process for those who wish to go see the multi-time GRAMMY-winner to avoid a similar situation that occurred when Oasis tickets went on sale.

The only problem? Those registrations closed at 8am today (February 6 2025), and according to CasinoTopsOnline analysis, the chances of you getting a ticket to see Queen Bey in London this year are looking slim - to say the least.

The science part

The data, collected on 16/02/2025, was used to estimate the chances of getting a ticket for the Beyoncé UK and worldwide tour, by considering historical queue data for previous Beyoncé tours from the Independent, and Spotify listener data provided by SongStats. Search increase data came via Glimpse.
