BEYONCÉ Returns for RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR

WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE

LOS ANGELES. (Feb. 1, 2023)—BEYONCÉ announces her first solo tour in over six years,
following the successful release of her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE. The North
American leg of the tour is utilizing Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan technology to ensure that more
tickets reach concertgoers. Ticket sales begin on Monday, February 6, 2023, with a special
presale for BeyHive members.
The 2023 tour, produced by Parkwood Entertainment, and promoted by Live Nation,
kicks off with 15 stops throughout Europe as well as twenty-six stops across North America.
BEYONCÉ, as she has with previous tours, will work with BeyGOOD. She founded this
initiative in 2013 to support people and programs all over the world. BeyGOOD will continue its
philanthropic legacy by providing organizations that serve marginalized and underserved
communities with many benefits. These will include access to scholarships, internship
opportunities that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship.
Throughout the tour, BeyGOOD supports entrepreneurs through Black Parade Route
luncheons, which celebrates small business owners and award grant opportunities, as well as
available services with global partners to promote business sustainability.

A $1 million commitment will be made to support 1,000 small businesses. BeyGOOD
helps students by providing scholarship funds to colleges and universities in ten different cities
along the tour. $100,000 will be given to each school. The schools will choose which students
will receive the scholarships. The total scholarship commitment of BeyGOOD during the
RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR will be $1 million.
As stated by Ticketmaster, “demand for this tour is expected to be high.” The multistep
Verified Fan process will “ensure more tickets get into the hands of concertgoers and will help
filter out buyers and automated bots looking to resell tickets.” If there is a greater demand for
tickets than there are available, a lottery-style selection process will determine which registered
Verified Fans receive a unique access code and which are placed on the waitlist.
A Verified Fan access code does not guarantee tickets; it simply allows you to participate
in the sale. Tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. If tickets are still available,
a lottery-style process is used to invite more Verified Fans from the waitlist to participate in the
sale.
