What they’re saying:
The company says that any tickets offered at places other than the exclusive presales are illegitimate.
“These are scammers trying to sell you tickets before they go on sale beginning Tuesday, 2/11,” Ticketmaster said in a post on X.
Tuesday’s resale is only for those who were subscribed to beyonce.com on or before Feb. 3. All codes that will be sent out are unique to the subscriber and cannot be sent to anyone else. The codes also allow the sale of up to four tickets per show for a maximum of three shows.
Many of the people offering tickets are what Tickermaster called “speculative” sellers who are trying to get cash before they possibly get tickets.
“Speculative ticketing forces real fans to compete against resellers who are acquiring tickets to fulfill the speculations they made,” a blog on Ticketmaster’s site reads. “These resellers are actually preventing fans from getting tickets through a legitimate source like Ticketmaster.”
