Beyonce is all about her business.
Indeed, when not blazing stages, the superstar singer is making waves with pronounced power plays – particularly in the realms of entertainment, fashion, and charity.
Her latest endeavour, though, centers on her touring – something for which she has become renown for over the last decade.
Details below…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ‘Drunk In Love’ diva has departed ICM Partners and signed a lucrative new deal with the Creative Arts Agency (CAA) who will now rep her live performance business. [ICM will continue to rep the 33-year-old’s acting endeavours]
The inner-workings of the deal remain under-wraps, although many are wondering aloud if the move is the precursor to an imminent new live run. Also, there’s suggestion the partnership could impact the way the star tours moving forward (namely more stadiums over arenas) – although this has yet to be confirmed.
Bey’s 2014 ‘On the Run’ stadium trek with husband Jay Z grossed more than $100 million in ticket sales over 19 North American stadium dates. Her 2013-14 ‘Mrs Carter World Tour’ generated over $200 million.
Lol she is not big enough to tour stadiums on her own, i don’t care what she or her fleas think.
What? Beyonce sold out 12 shows (a record) at the O2 in London in 2013
“Phone firm O2, which was behind the pre-sale of the UK shows, said it could have sold out London’s O2 Arena 150 times with the number of website hits with a spokesman noting the “unprecedented level of demand from O2 customers looking to buy tickets”
She performed for 230k fans in Australia, sold out. She broke the highest attendance in a single show.. twice
She sold out 4 shows in New ZEALAND in 10 mins
during the Mrs. Carter Show. She performed multi back back to back and 2 legs in the US & Europe during the Mrs. Carter Show.
She’s sold out the Tokyo Dome twice
Beyonce can very well sell-out stadiums like she’s done before and done during On The Rub Tour, if you think it was Jay Z you are sadly mistaken. It was his first $100M grossing tour and Beyonce’s 3rd. Don’t fool yourself.
Run*
During stadiums from a business stand point it not all what it cracked up to be… you put out more money and you take in less money.
The O2 seats 20k don’t try to pass it off as a stadium. I don’t care if she “could have” sold it out 150 times. What matters is that she didn’t.
I said stadiums, not arenas.
@OMGLogic
I see LOGIC has failed you, despite it being ur username lol. Cause LOGIC would tell you if she sold out the O2 12 times with a cap of 20k people that = 240k fans that’s double the amount of seats in a stadium. NOT including the people of that “150 times”.. and she did that without releasing any new music.
It’s called basic math. Try it.
@gina
And she has performed in stadiums in US, Europe, Asia, South America and sold them out.
Numbers disagree with you. So you don’t have to care.
Maybe ICM wanted to big of a cut of her tour money so she cut their ass off completely.
f*** she wanna perform in stadiums for b**** u not michael jackson such a selfish money hungry w**** she charges $1095/$995 for VIP that includes no meets and greets thats y her tours gross so much selfish witch u dont give a f*** bout ur fans
Do you even know how much I paid for an Ariana meet and greet? Stfu there are artists charging an arm and a leg with a kidney on top for just a meet and greet. A lot if my faces charge a lot so stfu
You sound broke & like you have bad credit. You’re on the wrong site.
http://www.creditrepair.com
You seem mad lol. No ones forcing you to pay for anything.
No wonder her tour revenue is so grossly inflated. People aren’t actually attending her shows, but the ones who do show up pay outrageous amounts to do so.
Her shows are sold out dumbass.
She’s a very smart Business Woman, thanks to Jay Z.
Nah she’s a greedy p** like her husband. If she gave a damn about her fans she wouldn’t charge such stupidly high prices for such a mediocre show. Madonna charges outrageous prices, but with her you know you’re getting a 5 star theatrical experience.
Beyoncé doesnt need theatrics to entertain the world. She’s been doing it with her mic and a light. That’s why she’s so respected on stage. She is the show. Her shows sells out in minutes…carry on
OMG I hope this is a hint of a new tour and music coming!!????????????☕
I believe she can play stadiums but i don’t think her tours can gross 200+ million with 75-85 dates like Madonna’s tours does, in order to gross 200+ million she has to add the triple of dates like Gaga did with her first and second tour.
Do you realize you’re the only on who cares about Madonna ?
I do not care for her or any other artist, i like her artistry but it all ends there, i don’t worship other human beings except for myself. Btw, Madonna’s tour proves how much people actually care for her, let’s not be silly.
Beyonce is 33 years old. Why are you comparing her to Madonasaurs triple long career.
But isn’t Beyoncé a legend?, the greatest thing on earth, according to her fanbase, if so, then i have to compare her to the greats, why you butthurt?, it is because these comparisons prove how below them she is.
Where did I or any of her fans say that? Please provide receipts. That being said, she is a legend in the making, which even you have admitted so I don’t see the issue. But logic tells you why Madonna can gross that much when her fans go back decades(s). Beyonce is grossing over 200 mill and shes not even 40. Please have some logic. You’re old enough to stan for Madonna, so Im sure maturity and logic is there somewhere.
@Krista why are you paying S****** RACIST any attention. It only cares for white artist and hates on every black artist..LOL. What a pathetic loser it is tho!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
S****** is nothing but a closeted racist f** who loves Black d*** on the low.

Its all economics boo most of Beyonce fans who have grown with her are in there mid 30s late to early 20s so Beyonce fan base are still working class citizens still raising kids and teenagers compared to acts like Madonna The Rolling Stones U2 etc who fans are mostly retired and have disposable income because of retirement plans and more money to spend on themselves because they’re kids are all adults now do you see the logic @suicide_blonde… Madonnas been in the game a very long time so she deserves to sell out shows like she does no shade no tea… But trust and believe in 10 more years Beyonces force will be unparallel to any touring acts believe that.
Thighyonce probably can gross 200+ million. Have you seen how much she charges her zombie fans? She and Apple were literally made for each other.
You obviously don’t go to many concerts. Because all those artists charge around the same as Beyonce for general tickets. Madonna charges triple that. You get what you give. Stop exposing yourself as an anti social troll who speaks out if their a***.
Lol if the On The Run Tour can gross 100 million with 19 dates what makes u think she cant do 200 million with 75 dates…lol come on son…
Hey Mrs. carter. Lol haters seething in 1 2 3
I’m happy for her. She works so hard and is extremely diligent when it comes to her live performances/tours. The Mrs. Carter World Tour was phenomenal. Hair, vocals, body, mind, visuals, and more. She deserves to benefit from the hard work.
Other artists put on a show 20x better than hers (with stage shows that cost many times what her show costs to put on) and charge a fraction of what she does.
Please don’t try it this morning. The only great performers that up to par with Beyoncè, is Gaga, P!nk, Tina, MJ, Janet, Madonna, and a handful of others. All of those artists charge hundreds of dollars as well… I should know bc I have seen all of them live.
I agree. Bey works her a** off to be a respected performer! You say you’ve seen a handful of great performers live. I recall you saying you were going to see Usher last year. What was he like in concert?
Yes I saw him on my birthday [12|4]! He was great vocally, but I could tell he was limited on the budget as far as visuals. The OMG Tour was better, but again, he sounded amazing.
Last time I saw bet on stage was 2008. In my living faves I’m yet to see Iggy and kesha on stage. But seriously,if someone got me tickets for beys next tour I’d give em anything
Of course Beyonce can play stadiums shes a massivly hyped performer and tickets sell out in seconds. If Rihanna can Beyonce can for CERTAIN.
Omg this means she’ll be Touring again! I don’t know why she didn’t with her last Tour tbh. Must’ve been the financial deal or something.
Before the navy come in here saying Beyoncé can’t sell out stadiums on here own let me just remind yall that Beyoncé sold way more tickets than the “stadium status b****”.. Yall really think she can’t sell out stadiums lool
No one brought up Rihanna before your comment. Scared much?
Rihanna and touring are oxymorons…so what exactly is there to be afraid of?
Clearly the pest are, the reason they bring up her name. Aren’t y’all tired after hating her 10 years and no wins at it? lol
But that still won’t help self-titled, which is still stalled at 3.8m WW.
You stan for Gaga stop dragging your own fave please! Self titled is 2x plat while Artpoop has barely scraped Gold. Sit down and stop trolling.
Say what u want but Gaga has a throat on her.
Over 4.2 million, 300k+ sold from the platinum edition.
Speaking of platinum did ArtFLOP FINALLY cross that mark? Nope. lmao!
Why is a MANLY FLOPGA stan commenting??? Didn’t its fave have to suck on old saggy testicles to have some form of relevancy in 2014…LOL
My coins are ready for Queen Carter.
Let’s be real tho, trolling aside, Beyoncé is a phenomenal performer.
I appreciate the fact, that as much as you hate Beyonce, u still give credit where it is due…Unlike that troll S******-CUNTT
B****** is seething las usual. Beyonce can defiantly sell out stadiums, I mean did u idiots actually think those people paid to see Jay Z old ass on their joint tour?? ???????? instead of hating on Motha Bey maybe y’all should just worry about your own favs considering the fact that Beyonce is most likely their superior.
Exactly my point!!!!!!!
How is Beyonce not gonna sell out stadiums??? If there’s any current artist who hasn’t done it yet that can, it’s Beyonce.
Ariana Grande hasn’t sold out stadiums.
B**** did I bring her up?? Fall the f*** back and pray for R8 you dry p**** thotler
Hopefully this means a new tour soon so I’m excited! I would love to see some of self-titled live as well as new music. The U.S. Hive missed out on seeing this songs performed during the MCWT so it would be great to!
You know, it’s sad how the same trolls with the same avi’s, or lack thereof…that DON’T like Beyoncé come running into a Beyoncé post at the crack of the morning. #iKnowYouCare!
What’s even more ridiculous is, Sam, David & Rashad could put out a dry ass post about Beyoncé as bait for clicks so they can get paid and y’all idiots would still comment and give them exactly what they want. That’s EXACTLY why I don’t comment on here that much.
I just hope she puts her previous discography to rest and only perform. Music from her 30s. Im sick of her performing irreplacable and cil. Wouldnt mind her bringing back some of the old setlist tho like dil and listen.
I would go especially with a new album to go with it. #SlayUsQueen
Hey Sis! Love you.
Dont forget the mscwt was and still is the highest grossing tour by a black artist. 3rd highest female(behind only fadga and dinasour-mandonna i think) and top 20 highest of all time. Bey only 34 and already beating legends in grammys and tour gross. And also beys attendance is increasing iamsf tour had 1 mill attendance and mscarter doubled that.
I dont believe that @s****** blonde is racist…
People loves to throw the word racism around when it comes to the Carters
Whats ironic though..beyondfake wanting to be a white woman so bad
So let me get this straight beyondfake has never sold out a stadium?
But but but isn’t she supposed to be on Michael Jackson’s level…..
Over 20 years in the game, no stadium status, no diamond status..ahahahah
U FOOL..GO LOOK AT THE ON THE RUN TOUR BOXSCORE!!!
Yes she has. You are dismissed.
Umm I would not use the I am..the biggest fraud in the music world tour
as an example. .when britney non singing dancing killed her
On the i am..tour she sould out stadiums in Brazil..Do ur research u fuckking troll and worry about RIHJECTION album being released in NEVERUARY!!!!!
Beyoncé has sold out stadiums in brazil tokyo europe and the united states by herself b4 the OTR tour so her selling out stadiums is nothing new. Im actually here for doing a complete solo stadium tour next year with this new deal tho!
You go queen bey good luck and more success in all you do thanks Sam for posting
Beyonce is a touring beast. Hands down the greatest of our gen. I will give her the credit she deserve, great singer, powerful performer, all around entertainer (sing, act, dance). But I will never be one of her delusional stans that thinks she’s a writer, god, or musician. I feel that her songs are more anthems VS a peak into the person thoughts or with a message. Maybe she’ll get here, but artist like Janet could give you all of that, so can A Keys. She tries, but it’s always a miss (Pretty Hurts, I Was Here).
Janet would’ve been perfect if she served the VOCALs imo. She did everything else BETTER than Bey. But, the vocals is what gets her slept on by the new generation.
But singing isn’t the only rule to be an entertainer. Dancing is just as much as a talent if not MORE than singing. Both should be respected.
But the thing is… Beyonce can do BOTH. Also, the general public respect vocalist a lot more than dancers. People always bashed Madonna, MJ, Janet etc… for Lipsyncing. But, people don’t realise you can’t really sing while dancing hard. But, they still don’t care.
And, I think vocalizing is harder than dancing.
I don’t. Any singer with any range of vocals can pick a lane or range to sing it and sound good. And you just named 3 of the biggest pop stars of all time, clearly no one cared that they lipped as long as they were giving a great show (minus Madonna). All Chris Brown does is dance, he can’t sing for crap LIVE (rather he’s dancing or not), and he’s bigger than his singing peers. With singing, there’s studio magic (as we seen with Mariah), but you’re ether a dancer or not. There’s no way to trick it (as we seen with Mariah).
.
90% of Bey’s dancing is @ss shaking, that’s not hating, it’s the truth. Beyonce is not even on a Ciara, Mya, old Britney or Aaliyah level of dancing, so what makes you think she’s anywhere near Ms. Janet?
90% of artist are studio magic. Mariah Carey ONLY became a studio singer AFTER her voice became damaged. How can you be a studio singer… When you’ve shown a 5 octave range on a LIVE basis (some even acapella) multiple times. And, there is nothing wrong with being a studio singer. You make it sound like its a bad thing. But, Mariah before the damage was NOT a studio vocalist only. She could really sing live & on the spot. And, Beyonce can do BOTH. She’s a vocalist & dancer. Booty shaking is a form of DANCING, period. And, she’s proven that she could dance like Janet. If she really wanted too. Madonna puts on great shows (visually). But, she can’t sing nor dance (imo).
She’s above Miss Jackson cause she does BOTH. A vocalist & powerhouse performer.
I was talking about dancing. Beyonce is slightly above average dancer (the reason any gay boy can do her dances) and Janet is an ok singer. Janet can sing LIVE, it’s not strong, but she sounds like her records. So entertainer, yes, Bey has the upper hand. But dancing? Bey isn’t even in the top 5.
I’m a gay boy & I know Miss Jackson’s dance moves down to a T! I’m a huge Janet stan! So, stop generalizing us as only booty shaking queens. Gay guys do multiple type of dancing. Also, Beyonce is OVERALL (visuals, VOCALS, Dancing, hit songs, intensity, stage presence etc..) better than Janet imo. And, I like Janet’s music way more tho.
Beyonce does more than booty shake mark shut up.
The Greatest Live Performer Since Michael Jackson/Tina Turner, Period
Well go off!!! Lmao
Rihanna set a record for being the youngest highest selling tour for a black female artist at the age of 25-26 the navy ain’t bothered Rock in Rio is sold out and Chile will be sold out can’t wait till her next tour it will be massive. The Monster Tour did 36 mill from only 6 shows as well!
***stadium status***
That awkward moment when Pink Print can’t even outsell Music Of The Sun, local or WW.
I hate u..But LOL
Did Markisha just add slow mo Aaliyah on that dancing list LMAO..girl. Ms child bride was BASIC as hell. Hell, even Rihanna could out dance thotliyah..LOL
Yeah okay. She changed talent agency. Big phucking deal. And as for “signed a lucrative new deal,” that’s just Sam gassing up this beysic flop beyatch.
Slay Bey!
Beyonce is past her prime and is too dumb to see it. She’s going to be on a walker still trying to be revelant. Acting is a zero as she can’t even speak clearly. She’s done.
You’re stupid. Madonna is past her prime and has had her biggest Tour to date. Explain?
Okay ms. Stupid. What do you know. You must be on Beybo payroll.
So you can’t explain it then.
I love this woman! She’s just A M A Z I N G live and I know anything she has coming up will be worth the wait!
Bey and these power moves >>>>
Hope she does have new artist with her
