Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s glory days might be behind them. The superstar duo is having so much trouble selling tickets to their concert that they are giving them away in order to fill the arena.
These two entertainers have been very vocal and active in the Black Lives Matter movement. Beyoncé even performed an anti-police routine at the Super Bowl, ostracizing many viewers. Their alliance with Colin Kaepernick has obviously cost them some fans. Before, each of them was selling out arenas without issue. They figured these concert dates would sell out in a snap since they are performing together. NOPE!
In England, tickets were being handed out FOR FREE! They weren’t even at a discount. They were just up for grabs! This second leg of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s OTR II tour apparently isn’t going as the couple planned! People were tweeted where to go to get free tickets.

A video from a concert below shows large sections with prime seating that had to be blocked off. In their prime, these seats would have sold like hotcakes. Maybe leftist political activism doesn’t play well at the ticket booth in the era of Brexit and Trump!

Others tweeted they were given free upgrades as well. They are looking to get butts in seats even if it means they lose money!

This might be a case of chickens coming home to roost. Beyoncé has routinely slammed police officers in her performances. Not only did she do this at the Super Bowl, she did it at the VMAs as well. Maybe decent people have had enough.
The concert isn’t getting great reviews from fans either. One fan said its Beyoncé’s same performance from Coachella. The fan tweeted, “that setlist was so terrible. Beyonce must really think her fans are fools if she think we gonna be content with seeing THE EXACT SAME SHOW with uglier outfits…”
It couldn’t happen to a better couple!
