Cowboy Carter CHI Night 2

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour is still living rent-free in my brain. We attended her second night show in Chicago. I attended her OTRII Tour in Orlando back in 2018 and was ecstatic to see her perform again! It was my first time seeing a concert at Soldier Field, and I loved every second of it. It’s a fantastic venue with plenty of space to hang out while you wait for the main event.

We decided to go to the stadium early to get merch and check out other activities around the stadium. I was a little worried about the lines being insanely long. We got there a little before 2 pm and only had to wait less than an hour to grab merch. We were also early enough to be some of the first in line for the Cécred event! I recommend bringing snacks and water along just in case. We were glad that we did. Watch below for more!

I especially loved the Cécred event with photo opportunities and a free keychain. The staff were super friendly and enthusiastic. It was a fantastic way to interact with and get to know the hair brand. It’s a genius marketing move that I have since tried and am in love with. The weather was on our side, but we made sure to keep an eye on it before arriving at the stadium.

Beyoncé is an absolute powerhouse of a lady. Her performance and storytelling are out of this world. I loved the “say ya” challenge she does with the crowd. She got the band and us during it. She also has a great sense of humor. She was very excited when her robot was working when it was pouring her whiskey. I planned ahead to record certain parts of the show to enjoy later on. She has a way of making her music sound so much better live. Click this link to see more from Chicago night two!

It is absolutely worth it to stay for the entire show, even though leaving can take a while. The venue and security did a great job of directing us to where we needed to go. I was a little nervous about leaving at first, but everyone involved with putting us in the right direction made it less stressful. It was magical to see her fly around in her horse show and red car for certain songs. She flew right over our heads during “16 Carriages”, and I was floored. Beyoncé was sure to include classics from previous albums, which were a blast to sing along to. The Beyhive knows how to hype up our queen and have a sweet honey buckin’ good time.

Tips for Surviving Ticketmaster Verified Fan Presale Battles

Ticketmaster Fan Presale Wars are not easy to get through. As someone who managed to survive the first battle for both The Eras Tour & the Cowboy Carter Tour, I’d like to share some tips from my experiences. I’ve used my computer for both. Dozens of videos have been made about this on social media. Be sure to check those out. I found them to be very helpful. I’ll link Alex Day’s video @repudaytion on TikTok here. His advice was extremely helpful to me for Beyoncé’s upcoming tour.

As Ticketmaster advises, save your payment method and update your profile. I had my code already copied and one window open on my computer. Arrive at least 10 minutes before the presale goes live (I logged in 30 minutes early) and do not refresh your screen. Don’t be too alarmed about seeing a large number of people ahead of you. Just be patient and take a deep breath. Beyoncé’s queue moved at a good pace which was shocking to me after the way Ticketmaster crashed with Taylor Swift.

Be prepared for extra fees and dynamic pricing. Create a budget or payment plan for your ticket purchase. With Taylor Swift’s tour, the tickets I managed to get were not as expensive as I thought they would be, which was very lucky. However, Cowboy Carter Tour tickets were more expensive than expected. Planning ahead and preparing is everything. Remember, there are other presales to sign up for. The verified fan presale is not the only one. There will be other chances to purchase tickets. When I saw Taylor Swift at the last minute, tickets were purchased on another resale site.

Enter your code immediately once you enter the ticket purchasing room. When selecting your seats, it is faster and easier to select from the right side of the screen, where the quantity and pricing are. Select how many tickets you want and start looking. That is how I was able to grab my seats for Cowboy Carter. You’ll need to do so quickly. I was able to grab specific seats for Taylor Swift. However, it is difficult to zoom in and maneuver the seat map quickly, which is why I recommend the other method. If it’s showing no seats, refresh and enter your code again because other seats can pop up. That is how I found mine. Have your card on hand because you will need to enter your security code when purchasing your seats. You will also need to select whether or not you want ticket insurance before purchasing, and make sure you have that decision made at checkout.

Finally, purchase those tickets and check your email for confirmation. Move your tickets into your device’s wallet and don’t let the battle get you down! The experience can be emotionally exhausting, but once you’re at the concert dancing, it’ll be at the back of your mind. Start planning that outfit, stream your favorite songs, create a countdown, and learn those dance challenges! Those memories and photos will last forever, and I still look at my concert content with joy. I’m counting down the days till the Cowboy Carter Tour! See you soon, Beyoncé!
