Beyoncé and Jay-Z Announce "On The Run II" Tour
I AM FINALLY BACKKKKKK!! Ahh it feels so good to be back on my blog and what a perfect time to get back. I am still processing this... J + B are going back on the road TOGETHER! This morning, the couple announced their highly anticipated sequel tour "On The Run II" Last week, it was heavily rumored that they would be going on tour with a leaked date on July 30 in Philadelphia from Ticketmaster but now the tour is OFFICIAL! The tour will kick off June 6 in Cardiff, UK at the Principality Stadium and will hit other cities in Europe including London, Paris and Milan before concluding the European leg in Nice, France July 17th.
It will hit North America beginning July 25th in Cleveland, OH at the FirstEnergy Stadium and will hit other major U.S.cities including Atlanta, Phoenix, Bey's hometown Houston and LA before concluding Oct. 2 in Vancouver, BC at BC Place. The Bey-Hive, Tidal and VIP Packages will have a presale WEDNESDAY AT 9AM LOCAL TIME. There will be a Live Nation presale FRIDAY AT 10AM LOCAL TIME with public on sale starting MONDAY at 10AM LOCAL TIME! You can register for the Bey-Hive presale here or if you have not used TIDAL, you can start a free trial and get the presale code that way as well. It is rumored that the tour will be in support of their joint album, set to be released later this year. Queen Bey is gearing up for her performances for Coachella and it might give a glimpse of what is to be expected for the upcoming joint tour. Jay-Z recently wrapped up his 4:44 tour, which was visually and all around amazing!

Ticket prices will range from $20- $380 depending on your city. According to Atlanta's show, their ticket prices are $324.00, $184.00, $114.00, $83.50, $53.50, and $24.00 NOT including fees. Again prices will vary per city but this can give you a good idea of how much tickets will cost.
Seating Chart
This is the seating chart from the Levis Stadium show in Santa Clara but this will give you an idea of what the layout of the stage will be for the tour.
VIP Packages
These packages are for the US leg of the tour. These will go on presale WEDNESDAY AT 9AM LOCAL TIME and general sale MONDAY AT 10AM LOCAL TIME. Prices have not been announced yet, but I did look at San Diego's date and the price range for that show shows $20- $2,000! I am assuming the $2,000 is for one of the VIP Packages (I am assuming The Runway VIP Experience) but it might be an error. I will get more details on Wednesday.

Head back to this blog post on Wednesday to get more details on prices in certain sections, if you can get general admission/ VIP riser seats without the packages and VIP package prices.
TIPS/WHAT I HAVE NOTICED:
GA PIT will not appear without VIP. While on Ticketmaster, it ssays you can get GA without VIP, I could not manage to get one without VIP
Fees will go up to $30
KEEP REFRESHING!
