BEYONCE is giving away gig tickets to families using soup kitchens after struggling to fill seats.
The US superstar’s Cowboy Carter show has failed to sell out on any of her six nights in North London.
So she has been distributing unsold tickets to good causes to avoid the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking empty.
Several low-income families in the capital have been offered tickets by food banks, which help feed the needy.
Beyonce, 43, who won her 32nd Grammy in January when Cowboy Carter was named Album of the Year, played two shows last week.
Last night, there were still hundreds of tickets available online for tonight’s gig, with seats left in 75 sections of the stadium.
Fans were shocked at the cost when tickets went on sale in February.
The tour had the highest top-priced ticket of any artist performing in the UK this year, at £950.
Promoters then slashed prices in the build-up, leaving thousands angry over the fortune they spent.
In the fan presale, certain tickets were priced at £620, but have since been available for £141.60.
The Texas Hold ‘Em singer, who is joined on stage by her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, has received critical acclaim for her 40-song set.
But fans are also believed to be staying away due to increased competition with other major tours, and the fact her Renaissance Tour was only two years ago.
In 2018, for Bey’s joint tour with husband Jay-Z, tickets were given away in a car park outside Hampden Park after they also struggled to sell out.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson said: “Since tickets typically go on sale at least three to six months before the event, organisers may review prices at key points leading up to the show.”

But the sticking point could be the transfer fee.
The Stamford Bridge side are willing to pay around £13m for Maignan – but the Italians want more than that, possibly £15m.
The Frenchman has 32 international caps to his name and is regarded by many as one of the best keepers in the world.
He has been in the Serie A Team of the Year twice in four seasons and he won the title with Milan in 2022 after keeping 17 clean sheets.
Chelsea are among the biggest clubs at the reformatted 32-team Club World Cup, alongside Manchester City, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, PSG and Bayern Munich.
Maresca’s men kick off their Group D campaign against Los Angeles FC on Monday – followed by Flamengo (June 20) and Esperance (June 25).
A HUGE rocker’s rarely seen daughter looked totally unrecognisable after her shock transformation.
She debuted her new appearance while leaving a hotel alongside Brigitte Calls Me Baby frontman Wes Leavins.
The eldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osboune, Aimee. 41, looked completely unrecognisable as she stepped out in Manchester on Sunday.
The slimmed down star looked totally different wrapped up in a leather look jacket and jeans as she left the hotel with Wes.
While her younger sister Kelly, 40, and her brother Jack, 39, skyrocketed into fame, singer Aimee prefers to live a life away from the spotlight.
The Osbournes reality TV show was a huge hit and it gave fans a peek into their lives but Aimee never appeared on the show.
Aimee was largely raised in California until the age of 16, however she eventually moved out of the family home as filming for The Osbournes kicked off.
She said that she would have liked to stay at home “a little longer” but as the MTV crew moved in the then teenager moved out.
Reflecting on her decision to not appear on the show she added: “Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?
“I wanted to protect myself, my parents, my siblings, too. They were very young, very impressionable.”
Sharon said on the Talk in 2018: ‘She felt too that she didn’t want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea — it was appalling to her.
‘And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did. It broke my heart when she moved.”
In 2003, Aimee featured in the MTV musical adaption of Wuthering Heights.
Presently she is the lead singer for pop band ARO, whose first single Raining Gold was released in 2015.
Sharon recently sparked concern over her gaunt appearance after being spotted out and about in LA with Aimee.
It’s after former X Factor judge Sharon, 72, revealed weight loss jab Ozempic is stopping her from gaining weight.
The TV personality, who lost 42 pounds with the help of Type 2 diabetes drug, previously revealed she “didn’t actually want to go this thin”.
But the TV star’s face looked slimmer than ever, with her jawline incredibly pronounced.
Chatting with Howie Mandel, she said in April 2024: “It’s not a sin to use Ozempic if you have a weight problem, so why not talk about it?”
Howie then asked if the weight loss drug was a positive experience for her.
“Yes and no,” Sharon replied.
She added: “I can’t put on weight now, and I don’t know what it’s done to my metabolism, but I just can’t seem to put any on, because I think I went too far.”
Recently, Ozzy gave fans an update on his farewell Black Sabbath gig this summer.
The legendary rocker, 76, is getting ready to bow out of touring forever.
As he has had a number health issues over the years which have prevented him going back out on tour.
Meanwhile, Danni Minogue has opened up on the time she felt attacked by Graham Norton and Sharon Osbourne.
The pop star, 53, described feeling the victim of a “pile on” when she Sharon appeared as a guest on The Graham Norton Show in 2007.
TESCO shoppers are sharing the savvy reason they always check their receipts
One customer took to social media to reveal the trick and shoppers were left stunned.
Tesco customers aren’t checking their receipts for errors but so they can claim free items and discounts.
Money off and even free items can sometimes be claimed from receipts from Tesco and other big retailers.
One customer recently managed to bag kilograms of rock salt for almost nothing after spotting an impressive discount offer on their receipt.
They shared their bargain on social media so other customers could use the trick to claim their own freebies and discounts.
In the past Eagle eyed customers have managed to nab free nappies just by properly checking their receipt.
If you spot a freebie on your receipt you can hand it over to a member of staff to claim the item.
Sometimes to get the free items on offer you need to be a Clubcard holder.
The free loyalty program allows members to earn points for money off shopping at Tesco.
Free items on receipts will be clearly displayed in plain writing and should be easy to spot.
The free items come from personalised coupons for targeted promotions, usually awarding Clubcard holders.
Offers will usually have an expiry date so it is important to check that the discount or freebie is still valid before trying to claim it.
Other supermarkets offer similar money saving deals and loyalty programmes to customers.
M&S shoppers could not believe their luck after learning they could pick up a packet of their Outrageously Chocolatey Milk Chocolate Biscuits for nothing.
The biscuits would usually cost customers a whopping £6 at M&S stores.
To qualify for the offer customers need to be a Sparks Member, which is M&S’s free loyalty scheme and also signed up to its parenting club.
Sainsbury’s has also given vouchers to its Nectar Card holders to pick up free items such as fabric softener.
Vouchers for freebies and discounts print out at the till alongside your receipt.
Shoppers have been urged to keep an eye out for the deals when they’re paying for their shop.
Social media users were left stunned after discovering they had been missing out on freebies and discounts.
One user shocked them all when they revealed the reason they always took their receipt.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
SHOPPERS are rushing to bag a bargain after discovering an £80 B&M item is scanning for just £1.
The stunning piece of furniture is selling for a huge discount with one lucky shopper picking it up from their local B&M.
They shared the massive discount to social media with others rushing to stores to snap up one of their own.
The two door sideboard is usually priced at £80, B&M have not announced or advertised a discount for the product.
Despite this the price of the item appears to have been reduced by a whopping £79 with shoppers racing to stores to snap up the bargain item.
Social media users quickly tagged friends and pals in the post to share the massive savings on offer.
The sideboard has a rustic oak finish and boasts plenty of storage space.
The seemingly secret sale had shoppers clamouring to get to their local store to pick up one of the “lush” sideboards themselves.
After sharing their bargain buy online the lucky shopper who spotted the discount was congratulated by others.
One social media user said: “Absolute bargain. I’ve had this for ages and paid £40. It’s lush.”
Another commented: “Good for you, a bargain and then some.”
Shoppers hoping to get their hands on the discounted furniture will have to be quick and will need to download the B&M scanner.
The scanner lets you see if an item is cheaper than its advertised price.
Discounts are sometimes applied to seasonal items or old stock with B&M trying to shift it quickly.
The scanner lets the customer check if items are being sold at lower prices and saves them a bunch of money.
Using the scanner is completely free, bargain hunters just need to download the B&M app.
If items scanned by the app show lower prices than advertised shoppers need to take them to the cash desk in store where they will automatically scan at the lower price.
Brits up and down the country have bagged massive bargains at B&M using the method.
Using the app could help you score plenty of bargains on your next shopping trip.
Any item could be discounted so it is always worth checking with the scanner before paying full price.
The side board is no longer selling on the B&M website, suggesting it has had its price slashed so dramatically as part of a clearance sale getting rid of old stock.
Amazon said the piece of furniture, which they are selling for £89.99, offers: “Convenient hidden storage space behind two doors with a rustic wood finish.
“With its rectangular shape and metal legs, this storage cabinet can serve well in entryways, hallways, or dining rooms for organizing shoes, books, toys and more.
“The standout feature of this cabinet is the chevron detailing on the doors, adding a stylish and contemporary touch to its design.”
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
