Beyonce charging £120 for hoodies on Renaissance tour days before Sunderland show

Beyonce fans are being charged up to £120 for an official hoodie as the music megastar's Renaissance tour arrives in the UK.

Months after tickets were snapped up for Queen B's first run of concerts since 2016's Formation tour, the living legend has brought Renaissance to British soil, having launched her latest shows in Sweden last week. Anticipation is high for Beyonce's arrival in Sunderland on Tuesday, May 23, especially after spoilers of what fans can expect surfaced online after the first UK gig in Cardiff on Wednesday night.

Beyonce's Renaissance tour setlist has become a real talking point, with some fans gutted that the likes of Single Ladies, Irreplaceable and Halo haven't made the cut, while there is great excitement from others about seeing Beyonce perform tracks from her new album live for the first rime.

And something else that has already caused quite a stir is the price of Beyonce's merchandise. Reporters from Wales Online were at the concert and paid a visit to one of the merchandise stands to see what was available.

The items that topped the price list was a black zip-up Thique hoodie costing £120. There is another black hoodie and a green equivalent, both costing £100. The matching joggers for each will set fans back £90, meaning if they want the full tracksuit they won't get much change from £200.

Fans just after a t-shirt will still have to shell out £45, with long sleeved options for £55 and even a tote bag costs £35.

Typically the trend at gigs from big name artists is around £30 for a t-shirt and £50-60 for a hoodie, with tote bags usually £20 or less.
