This ain’t Texas, but get your cowboy boots on. Beyoncé’s epic Cowboy Carter Tour kicks off in just a few weeks. Starting on April 28, Queen Bey will touch down in six American cities plus London and Paris. Although the tour isn’t scheduled to hit Toronto, Vancouver or any other Canadian cities, many music fans are willing to travel great distances to see their favourite artists (case in point: globe-trotting Swifties and Bruce Tramps). A new partnership between Beyoncé’s tour and Marriott Bonvoy could make it easier for Canadian fans to get to her show.

Experiences, contests and more Cowboy Carter perks
On April 2, Marriott Bonvoy—the travel platform of hotel and resort brand Marriott International—announced that it is the Cowboy Carter Tour’s official hotel partner. It will offer the Beyhive “exclusive, curated experiences designed to celebrate the energy and artistry of the global icon.”
Those experiences include a global sweepstakes, events at Marriott hotels and resorts, and “Marriott Bonvoy Moments” you can bid on or redeem for, if you’re a program member. Here are the details:
- Cowboy Carter Tour Sweepstakes: A few lucky fans will win prizes including concert tickets and welcome gifts. The grand prize is the “Bring Your Beyhive” Ultimate Friends Trip, which will bring five winners plus five of their friends to select shows in New York, London, Paris, Atlanta and Beyoncé’s hometown, Houston. The prize includes flights, concert tickets, hotel rooms and a “glam squad” to help you get ready for the show. To enter, visit the Marriott Bonvoy website. If you’re not already a Marriott Bonvoy member, you’ll need to create an account, but it’s free to do.
- 1-Point Drops: For each Cowboy Carter Tour concert in Los Angeles and London, Marriott Bonvoy will offer “1-Point Drop” packages including tickets and welcome gifts, available through the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform. Some of the packages are up for auction, while others can be yours if you redeem a fixed number of points (starting at 50,000 points). The first 1-Point Drop will go live on April 7, 2025, at noon ET.
- Marriott Bonvoy Moments: Bid on a curated auction package that bundles a two-night hotel stay, dinner, a glam session and two tickets to the Cowboy Carter show, or get a fixed-price package with two tickets and a Marriott Bonvoy welcome gift, available for Beyoncé’s shows in Chicago, New York, Paris, Houston, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.
And if you’ve already got plans to travel to a Cowboy Carter show, you’ll find Beyoncé-themed parties, happy hours and more at Marriott Bonvoy hotel brands.
