Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter ticket prices keep changing, fans say

Case in point: Some fans paid around $500 for seats in section 127 at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while others shelled out over $1,700 for the same section.

• This Beyoncé subreddit post got over 1,300 responses to a survey on Cowboy Carter ticket prices. The results further highlight the wide-ranging costs (see chart).

The big picture: The brutal ticket resale market is likely playing a role in the differing prices. Fans have speculated that dynamic pricing could also be to blame.

• The limited number of Cowboy Carter Tour stops certainly isn't helping with the supply and demand issue.

Between the lines: Ticketmaster and other ticket sellers have often found themselves in hot water for inflated pricing, botched ticket releases and junk fees. This latest round of Beyoncé ticket sales has her fans once again calling for increased regulation of ticket sellers.

• Ticketmaster said in a statement to Axios that the company does not have surge pricing or use algorithms to adjust prices and that Beyoncé ticket prices "were set in advance of the sales by the tour."

Our thought bubble: Beyoncé's concerts really aren't concerts at all. They are full on feature films, cultural events, fashion shows, master classes in dance, cinematography, lighting and sound, Axios' Paige Hopkins writes.

• All that, plus, the mic is on. No one belts out live vocals like Bey.
• As this viral TikTok video puts it, when she comes to town, I'm going to pay the price (even if it keeps changing).
