Ticketmaster: "Many interested fans" may not get tickets to Beyoncé's tour

• The demand for seats outpaced tickets available by more than 800% based on the registration in Group A cities, which includes nine major cities, the ticketing service said.
• To meet the demand, Beyoncé's tour added new shows in Toronto, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles and East Rutherford, N.J., according to Ticketmaster.

Of note: Tickets for the shows are expected to go on sale starting Feb. 6. Fans can register for shows in specific cities on Ticketmaster right now.

• The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday tweeted, in response to a CNN report about the singer's world tour: "We're watching, @ticketmaster."

Zoom out: Taylor Swift fans are still recovering from their own Ticketmaster headaches after "unprecedented" demand and a high number of technical glitches on Ticketmaster’s platform affected the presale of Swift's "Eras" tour.

• Ticketmaster ended up canceling the general public sale of Swift's tour and fans later sued Ticketmaster over the debacle.
• Lawmakers recently grilled Ticketmaster and live music executives on Capitol Hill over the incident, focusing on the lack of competition in the ticketing industry.
