Beyoncé will begin the North American part of her tour on July 8 in Toronto, Canada. She will be visiting 25 U.S. cities including: Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, Nashville, Louisville, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, East Rutherford, Boston, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Houston and more.
The "Renaissance" tour is expected to conclude in New Orleans on Sept. 27.
FOX Business has learned that ticket sales via Ticketmaster have been "staggered" for Beyoncé's upcoming tour. There will also be the use of the "Verified Fan" feature — the goal is to be able to sell the majority of the tickets to fans without the worry of resellers snatching up all the tickets.

"Demand for this tour is expected to be high," the blog post notes. The preparations come a few months after the Taylor Swift Ticketmaster fiasco. In November, the company canceled the public sale of Swift's "The Eras Tour" after the site sold more than 2 million tickets during pre-sales for the event, leaving many fans upset and angry. Beyoncé earned both record and song of the year nominations for her hit "Break My Soul," while her album, "Renaissance," garnered the coveted album of the year nomination. Her husband, Jay-Z, also got five nods this year, making the spouses tied for most-nominated artist of all time, with 88 nods each. Jay-z is nominated for five Grammy Awards and his wife, Beyonce, received nine nominations.
