Before tickets for Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour even went on sale, critics insisted she would struggle to fill stadiums. Some argued that the prices were too high, while others claimed country audiences would not show up for her. Social media amplified claims that demand was low and that Beyoncé had overestimated her fan base. Some even suggested she would need to cancel dates due to poor sales.

Ticket Sales Data Shows a Different Story

Live Nation and Billboard confirm that Cowboy Carter has sold 94 percent of tickets across all scheduled dates. Initial projections estimated the tour would bring in $294 million. With the latest sales update, the tour is now expected to surpass $325 million from just 31 shows. This makes it one of the most profitable tours of the year.

Due to high demand, Beyoncé added an extra show in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on July 25, 2025. The move counters the claims that she could not sell tickets.
