Beyoncé makes a surprise move after failing to sell out seats on the UK leg of her Cowboy Carter tour
By NIOMI HARRIS
Beyoncé has reportedly made a surprise move after struggling to sell out seats on the UK leg of her Cowboy Carter tour.
While the songstress, 43, has been dazzling on stage, she's failed to completely sell out any of the six nights of shows at north London's Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
However, instead of leaving the stadium looking empty amid the unfilled seats, she's reportedly been giving out unsold tickets to good causes, reports The Sun.
Reports suggest that the food banks in the capital have been offering low-income families the chance to see the Halo hitmaker live on stage thanks to free tickets.

The singer is playing six nights in London this summer, with the star having already played on June 5 and 7, with the remaining shows on June 10, 12, 14 and 16.
However, on Monday night, there were reportedly still hundreds of tickets available for her third show on Friday, with the publication stating that 75 sections still has unsold seats.
When tickets went on sale in February, fans raised their eyebrows at the price of the highest priced seats, which came in at an eye-watering £950.
However, prices have been slashed in the lead-up to the show, with fan presale tickets reportedly now dropping to £141.60.
It was reported last week that Beyoncé was struggling to sell seats ahead of her first UK Cowboy Carter show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But at the time of writing on Thursday there were still 539 free seats left in the stadium which holds around 62,000 people for concerts.
The cheapest seats available for her first London show were £71 for obstructed view seats while the most expensive are £278 for seated in better areas.
It comes in sharp contrast to ticket sales for her Renaissance world tour in 2023 where UK shows sold out within minutes of being released.

Her UK stint comes after ticket sales for the US part of her tour were also sluggish.
The ticket sales may reflect less interest in her country-tinged Cowboy Carter material compared to her dance-friendly Renaissance material.
The singer–songwriter also may be struggling to get fans who saw her on her whirlwind Renaissance tour to come back just two years later, this time at even higher prices.
Those prices - $200–$300 a ticket for some of the worst seats at her upcoming Chicago shows - may be also turning off fans.
Over the past few months Beyoncé appeared to have drastically slashed prices at some of her shows in order to get fans to buy the unsold tickets.
Some fans who saw her in LA were able to nab tickets as cheap as $35 before Ticketmaster's fees.
Meanwhile, in addition to the unsold seats, Beyoncé also had to content with the dreary UK weather - with the rain perhaps being another reason seats have failed to sell.
The singer battled the rain as she kicked off the UK leg of her Cowboy Carter tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday.

Queen Bey, 43, was joined by her lookalike daughters Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, 7, on stage for their iconic moment.
She's also faced the elements in her other outdoor shows throughout her tour, as she performed in the pouring rain as her tour hit New Jersey last month.
Bey's mother Tina Knowles at the time shared her fears over her daughter's rain-drenched stunt as she emerged from above on a giant horseshoe.
Expressing her shock as she shared a video of her daughter flying through the air in a thunderstorm, Tina wrote on Instagram: ‘Oh my God!!! You cannot talk her out of flying in pouring down rain! Just had to get on my knees and pray.'
Meanwhile, as the show headed to MetLife Stadium in New York City last month, Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy was forced to wipe the rain off the floor before performing.
Putting safety first, the 13-year-old was seen drying the rain with a towel before going on to nail her choreography.
Despite the poor sales, a host of UK celebrities have been thoroughly enjoying Bey's shows so far.
