After a series of pre-sale events, the time has finally arrived for Beyoncé fans to take a crack at getting their hands on tickets for her upcoming 2023 Renaissance tour as general sale opens up to the public on Ticketmaster.
The news of the tour comes after it was discovered that the singer had performed her first headline event at the launch of Atlantis the Royal, a new luxury hotel in Dubai. Beyoncé’s last tour was the mammoth Formation World Tour in 2016, which was announced after her guest appearance at the Super Bowl 50 half-time show.
