Beyoncé got a quick verdict on demand for her Renaissance World Tour tour stop at Allegiant Stadium.
The all-time Grammy Award champion has added a second tour stop in Las Vegas, on Aug. 27, less than a week after Ticketmaster listed her tickets on its Verified Fan link. Allegiant Stadium announced the added show on social media “due to high demand.”
Beyoncé will have sold about 80,000 tickets in Las Vegas over two shows by the time she hits town for her first performance on Aug. 26.
The updated ticket protocol, from the Allegiant Stadium post:
“Unique access codes will be sent to Verified Fans who were previously waitlisted for the Las Vegas, NV show during the BeyHive and Citi Verified Fan Presales and Verified Fan Onsale. Fans who receive these codes will be determined by a lottery-style selection process. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and receiving a code does not guarantee tickets.”
