Even if fans raise enough money for the tickets, the insane demand means it's still an uphill battle for most.

Witnessing millions of fans online try to get Beyoncé tickets has been as entertaining as the album, at least if you're not one of the many hopeful concert-goers suffering through presale and website issues. Moreover, Beyoncé fans took to GoFundMe to ask for money to purchase tickets for the Renaissance World Tour. While their pleas range from heartfelt to funny to frustrated, the tour's insane demand means that they'll be tough to catch. Even with all the money in the world, it won't help insane queue times and shows selling out lighting fast.

Furthermore, one fan wrote, "This is the only life experience I care about living before I die. I will get those front row tickets either way but this way is safer than selling my kidney on the black market." In fact, some screenshots obtained by TMZ indicate that some people are already close to their goals. Moreover, that last commenter already garnered $225 out of his $300 goal, at least based on their screenshot. What's more is that it makes you wonder what else people can get away with on there. Still, many of these hopefuls are Beyhive live vets. "Listen…I would love your financial support in sending me to Beyoncé World Tour 2023," another expressed. "I haven’t missed a Beyoncé concert yet, but I got 'bills, bills, bills.'"

Meanwhile, other fans unfortunately haven't raised much money for their selfish but understandable cause. This comes off the heels of UK tickets going on sale just recently. As expected, the demand far outweighs the supply available, something that Live Nation maintained in a statement. According to them, demand exceeds available tickets by over 800%, and they acknowledged the many fans who won't get to see her.

Still what do you think of the GoFundMe campaigns to raise money for Beyoncé tour tickets? Moreover, are you one of the fans who took a chance on the platform or do you already have your tickets? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest on Beyoncé and the ubiquitous Renaissance World Tour.
