Would you pay US $237 to go to a concert and only listen to the music?
If you answered yes, then you could be in luck.
Beyoncé is currently working her way across the globe with her 56-date Renaissance world tour in support of her seventh studio album.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the tour, the 'Single Ladies' singer is now offering 'listening only' tickets.

For US $157, fans can now purchase a seat behind the stage, where they can listen to music while Beyonce puts on one hell of a show for the people in front.
Yep, that means not even a glimpse of the extravagant sets, the glittery outfits, or the iconic dance routines.
Fans are unsurprisingly outraged at the price.
“@Beyonce is in concert 20 min away at @MetLifeStadium. It’s my birthday weekend. Lowest priced tickets are ~$350 pp for no view, listening-only seats,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “I would love to see her in concert but no way I can afford to shell out $700 and not even see [her].”
Another added: “Beyoncé selling $200 tickets for a LISTENING ONLY experience is hysterical. This lady is detached from reality."
A fan told told The Sun “The whole point of going to the concert is seeing her in person and watching the spectacle of the production.
“It’s ridiculous. If I only wanted to hear the concert, I’d stand outside in the car park.”
The Renaissance show is around two and a half hours long and is split into six acts, with Beyoncé performing the tracks of Renaissance in order, interspersed with songs from across her entire discography.
Oprah Winfrey recently told her fans the concert is one of the best she's ever attended.
"I've never in my life experienced anything like that," she told Instagram followers in July.
"I was in awe. I am in awe of that kind of talent. That kind of synergy. What it takes to do that; that kind of expression. That kind of anointing.
"I mean that is a thing that has coming straight from a source that creates the planets, okay.
"That is like the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen. The most extraordinary show I have ever seen."
The 'CUFF IT' singer is expected to announce her stadium concert details for Australia very soon.
