Additional dates were added in Toronto, Washington D.C., Chicago, L.A. and more as fans struggle to buy their seats.

One of the most anticipated, grandiose, and frustratingly in-demand tours of the year is already off to a wild start. Beyoncé recently announced more tour dates for her upcoming Renaissance World Tour in various North American cities. Moreover, this announcement comes after fans struggled to buy their tickets online due to the insane number of hopeful concertgoers. Still, a few additional shows might help at least somewhat. Moreover, they added shows in Toronto on July 9, Chicago on July 23, East Rutherford on July 30, and Washington D.C. on August 6. Also, Atlanta has another show on August 12, Los Angeles on September 3 and Houston on September 24.

However, these dates offer little help to accommodate the demand in the long run, according to event organizers. In a press statement, Live Nation shared that fan demand exceeded available seats by over 800%, given current registration numbers. Even with these added dates, they remarked that it'll be a relatively small group of fans at each show. At least, compared to the truckloads of people in line. “It is still expected that the majority of interested fans will not be able to get tickets... Demand drastically exceeds supply.

Regardless, the World Tour will kick off in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10. Following that are more European shows through June 27. Also, rumors spread recently that Beyoncé might bring her show to Ghana. After all, it is a world tour, and fans in Africa have waited for a long time for her. Still, the tour's North American leg will begin in Toronto on July 8 and is scheduled to run until September 27 at New Orleans.

Even with all this ticket fiasco going on, are you one of the lucky fans with a Beyoncé ticket, or are you trying for these new dates? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below and check out presale details here.
