Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour ticket sales have begun, sparking concerns about potential ticketing system overload similar to the recent Oasis reunion tour chaos.

Following her successful Renaissance tour, demand for Beyoncé's latest tour has overwhelmed Ticketmaster's systems, resulting in extended wait times and reported technical issues. Ticketmaster maintains no crashes have occurred and advises fans to use single browser tabs, clear cookies, and avoid VPNs.

Security experts warn about potential ticket scams, particularly on social media platforms. Tony Neate, CEO of Get Safe Online, emphasizes the importance of purchasing through regulated marketplaces that offer consumer protections and money-back guarantees.

Ticketmaster specifically warns against "speculative listing" - when unofficial sellers list tickets they don't yet possess. This practice is illegal in many states and constitutes fraud.
