EXCLUSIVE: BEYONCÉ FACES HUMILIATING SLOW START AS “COWBOY CARTER” TOUR STRUGGLES TO SELL — TICKETS DROP TO $20!

Queen Bey’s not used to missing a step — but fans say this time, she’s got a full-blown stampede of problems.

Beyoncé is used to selling out stadiums in minutes — but as her Cowboy Carter tour kicks off tonight at L.A.'s SoFi Stadium, the Queen has been left facing a rare and uncomfortable reality: thousands of empty seats.

Sources tell #ShuterScoop that with just hours to go before showtime, more than 3,000 tickets remain unsold — a staggering number for one of music’s biggest names.

Even more shocking? Resale prices have crashed to as low as $20, with desperate scalpers slashing prices just to get rid of inventory.

“She’s not used to this,” a music industry insider admits. “Beyoncé is accustomed to victory laps. This feels like a stumble — and fans are noticing.”

Social media has exploded with jokes and memes about the lukewarm demand, with some fans mocking the "yee-haw" rebranding and questioning the cowboy-themed pivot that came with Cowboy Carter.

Insiders say Beyoncé’s team is scrambling behind the scenes to control the narrative, blaming the slow start on everything from high ticket prices to market saturation after Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and a slew of other major acts touring this year.

“They’re throwing everything at the wall to explain it away," the insider says. "But the reality is, fans aren’t buying what Beyoncé’s selling — at least not at these prices.”

Adding to the tension, industry insiders warn that slow starts can snowball, creating a perception of a "flop" that hurts demand in other cities.

“This opening night was supposed to set the tone for the whole tour," the source explains. "Instead, it's setting off alarm bells.”

Still, no one’s counting out Queen Bey yet. Her loyal BeyHive remains massive — but for the first time in a long time, it’s clear Beyoncé isn’t invincible.

“She’s still royalty," the insider says. "But even queens can have bad nights."
