Beyonce fans face huge online queues as tickets for first world tour in seven years go on sale

Beyonce fans have faced huge online queues today (Tuesday) as tickets for the singer's first world tour in seven years went on general sale. Ticketmaster confirmed earlier that a fifth date to see the most decorated Grammy artist of all time at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was being put on “due to high fan demand”.

The additional show for the Renaissance World Tour - on June 1 - was added to previously announced dates on May 29 and 30 and June 3 and 4. Since the announcement of the new date, numbers queueing on Ticketmaster’s website have grown to nearly 500,000, reports PA.

Beyonce, 41, will also perform at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on May 17, Murrayfield in Edinburgh on May 20 and Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on May 23. Last week, O2 apologised to fans who faced “difficulties” when pre-sale tickets were made available, after experiencing “huge demand”.
