Beyoncé has come under fire in recent months for the “outrageous” ticket prices for her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour, as well as for also plugging super-expensive perfume at the same time too!
The 43-year-old “Texas Hold’Em” hitmaker is now making headlines by changing the seating chart for some of her shows at the last-minute, meaning many fans have had their seats changed whether they like it or not. This has seemingly worked out well for many of the “Bodyguard” singer‘s fans, who took to social media to share their excitement for their new, upgraded seats. However, not everyone was happy with the ticket swap, as many of them said they were “annoyed” to receive worse seats.

Beyoncé Makes Last-Minute Changes To 'Cowboy Carter' Stage Design, With Many Fans' Seats Being Changed
The Cowboy Carter tour officially kicked off on April 28th at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, which was the first of 32 stadium shows across the U.S. and Europe.
Many of the Grammy-winner's fans claimed on social media that they were told their seat assignments had changed just a few days prior to the show, with Ticketmaster reportedly saying: "Due to changes in stage production, your original seats for the Cowboy Carter tour will now have an obstructed view. The Event Organizer has accommodated you with new seats in a comparable location on the floor."
The last-minute seat swap caused fans to wonder whether the design of the stage would be even greater than was initially imagined, which understandably excited them at the time. One fan wrote on X: "My floor ticket was moved to a different section and when I called Ticketmaster to ask why, they said that the production team moved my seat because of obstruction view of the stage and the team relocated me. Did this happen to anyone else? I was on the aisle seat of section A2."
Fan Comments
"Imagine being blessed like this… a floor seat without an upcharge?!" commented one excited fan. "She's likely giving them better seats in a better section. They're so lucky," wrote a second. "I cannot wait to see this show!" exclaimed a third.
"Arrrggghhh I got pushed back 4 rows I'm annoyed," wrote one disappointed fan, as a second unimpressed fan said: "How stressful." A third fan suggested: "They should display a view of the new seating arrangements & offer a refund as an option. That way people have a choice to keep the ticket if they like the new changes or get their money back if they don't like it."
Others thought that the stage design changing was just an excuse, and the real reason was because not enough tickets sold due to the extortionate prices. "That is what happens when tickets don't sell," quipped one dubious fan. "Translation: We're moving more people in one place to make up for the low ticket sales," concurred a second, as a third echoed: "The changes being unsold tickets so she's moving them to the GF lmaoo."

Fans Praise The 'Amazing' Concert
Regardless of the seat swapping drama, it seems like the start of the tour was a huge success. Many fans took to social media to share their videos from the show, as well as to comment on how spectacular they thought it was!
"This tour solidified her place as the greatest performer EVER," raved one fan on a Rolling Stone Instagram video of Beyoncé flying over the audience in a custom lowrider. "Was there tonight and let me tell you, she did that! The whole concert was amazing," praised a second, as a third added: "The best performer of all time."
