Everyone just wants to get in formation.
Presale tickets for Beyoncé's Formation World Tour went on sale today -- but many fans found it impossible to grab seats. Thanks to unbeatable bots and a sluggish Ticketmaster search, many were unable to give Beyoncé all the money she deserves.

It seems like pretty much everyone struggled, experiencing these seven stages of trying (and failing) to get Beyoncé tickets.
1. Positivity.
You'll get Beyoncé tickets! Of course you'll get Beyoncé tickets. You are the Chosen One. Others may not get them, but they are not you, the getter of tickets.
Yup I'm getting Beyoncé tickets— sof (@MundingSofia) February 8, 2016
i. will. get. beyoncé. tickets. https://t.co/ynLGfrqHDO— holy daze (@mercishukri) February 8, 2016
Just in case, you say a quick prayer to Beyoncé. Not that you need to; you just think it's a nice gesture. She'd like that.
Asking for everyone to say a prayer for me tonight as I attempt to get decent Beyonce tickets tomorrow morning #nosleep @Ticketmaster— Emma Woollacott (@emzies4) February 9, 2016
2. Sadly saying goodbye to the money in your wallet.
Okay, so a good ticket is about half your rent. That's ... a lot. But it's worth it. She's worth it.

3. Preparation.
Make sure you have your phone, laptop, iPad, Surface Pro, Nokia and Etch-a-Sketch in formation. Gotta stay prepared.
