Last week, ahead of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour kicking off in Los Angeles, the lack of interest in tickets saw some uncharacteristically low prices—leading to plenty of roasting online. One user claimed they found resale tickets available for just $20, calling it “less than a McDonald’s Happy Meal.”
If you think that sounds strange, you’re not alone. It’s important to note the Happy Meal used as a comparison was the limited edition McDonald’s “Minecraft” meal for the film of the same name. That meal, designed as one of the fast food franchise’s “adult Happy Meals,” which includes more food than a kids’ meal.
But even that meal varied in price depending on the region, leading to even more confusion among music fans seeing that comparison. That was further compounded by most tickets for Cowboy Carter not dropping as low as $20—very few tickets on the resale market have gone for such prices, and they’re quickly snapped up. And those that do sell for that cheap are resale tickets, meaning the star already made her money from the initial sale.
While the naysayers insist that “nobody cares about the cowgirl version of Beyoncé,” the album’s success has shown otherwise. Cowboy Carter topped the Billboard 200 chart, while its lead single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” hit No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Country chart. The album also earned her the Grammy for Album of the Year—her first in a sea of Grammy awards.
“This ain’t a country album,” the star said previously. “This is a Beyoncé album.”
The Cowboy Carter tour kicked off Monday night at SoFi Stadium with five shows lined up throughout the week. Afterward, the show heads to Chicago, New York, Houston, Las Vegas, London, Paris, and more.
