Let\u2019s face it, with her Grammy Awards success firmly in the media spotlight right now, entertainment franchises don\u2019t come much hotter than Beyonc\u00e9.

Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>Beyonc\u00e9 is riding high with her music continuing to evolve and gain widespread recognition among her fans and peers alike. The success of the Cowboy Carter album is proof of this, and with the Cowboy Carter tour set to play across venues in the U.S. and beyond, the clamour for tickets is going to attract those who want to part you from your cash without satisfying your desire to see Beyonc\u00e9 perform her hits live on stage.
