US Grand Prix organizers revealed Sting and Eminem will headline the 2024 Formula 1 race, after promising a Taylor Swift-caliber musical guest.
Fans theorized that Texas-born Beyoncé may return to her home state for the event, leaving many disappointed by the announcement of the English rocker and the ‘Lose Yourself’ rapper.
To make matters worse, the Circuit of the Americas attempted to buy back tickets from fans last week, believing the musical act they secured was so high-profile that they could turn a bigger profit by reselling tickets at a higher price.
‘WHERE is Beyoncé,’ one person commented on COTA’s Instagram post Monday.
‘Can’t believe this is what you wanted people to sell back tickets for. Absolutely laughable,’ another chimed in.

A third fan echoed the sentiment, writing, ‘Yall are so out of touch thinking this was going to be big enough for a buy back?’
‘here I thought they were buying tickets back for someone relevant,’ another disappointed fan commented.
COTA Chairman Bobby Epstein previously promised ‘the biggest’ musical act since Swift performed at the race in 2016.
Britney Spears, Bruno Mars and Billy Joel have also taken the stage at the event through the years.

‘We’re going to put a limited amount of tickets on sale again, after that music announcement at a little bit of a higher price,’ Epstein explained after rolling out the controversial buy-back scheme.
‘When we announce our performers for this year’s Grand Prix weekend, those tickets are going to be worth well more than they paid.’
COTA announced it would repurchase early-bird general admissions tickets, which cost fans $299 before taxes, for just $350.
‘Never heard of a venue scalping their own tickets,’ one fan commented on the announcement post last week.
‘Is it April Fools? What the hell is this all about?’ a second person wrote, while another chimed in, ‘What kind of marketing scam BS is this???’
Last year’s general admission tickets sold for up to $475.
