Let's not make this a thing please!
Beyoncé is charging €142 for "listening only" tickets for her concerts.
What does "listening only" mean? Well you'll be at the concert, but you won't be able to see Beyoncé at all. These are seats that are behind the stage, and have no view of Beyoncé herself while she's performing.
I have seen it all. @Ticketmaster is selling “NO VIEW-Listening Only” seats for Beyoncé’s show tonight for $105 PLUS fees. You don’t even get to see her for over $100! pic.twitter.com/nDPPgnEWRk

The superstar singer is now on the US Leg of her incredible Renaissance tour, and in the arenas she's performing in, there are seats that have no view of the stage.
So some people are being given the option of purchasing "listening only" tickets, with full knowledge that they won't be able to see Beyoncé herself.
While "listening only" tickets are often bought by visually impaired fans, they're often sold at a heavily discounted price. So understandably, many fans are not happy with the price of these tickets.
Beyonce charging £122 for listening only tickets is ridiculous, pure greed. Boycott the concert.
