* * * * *
Pop culture superstar Beyoncé is bringing her 2009 "I AM..." World Tour to North America this summer with a series of full-length concerts launching at New York's Madison Square Garden in June and winding down with a four-night residence at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas July 30-August 2 (please see full itinerary following).
Tickets for Beyoncé's North American concerts will be available as a pre-sale for members of Beyoncé’s Fan Club on Monday, April 20, starting at 10:00 AM local venue time. Tickets will go on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster (Ticketmaster.com/Beyonce) on Saturday, April 25, starting at 10:00 AM local venue time. In order to make her concerts affordable to all her fans, Beyoncé is making 2000 seats available at each venue for $20 (plus applicable service charges).

Beyoncé is co-sponsoring food drives along her tour itinerary as part of the Show Your Helping HandTM initiative, a national hunger relief campaign created by General Mills’ Hamburger Helper® in partnership with Beyoncé and her Survivor Foundation. The campaign goal is to help Feeding America deliver more than 3.5 million meals to local food banks. Consumers can get involved in the effort by submitting codes on specially marked boxes of Hamburger Helper®, by donating non-perishable food items at Beyoncé’s concerts in select cities across the U.S., or by donating money at www.showyourhelpinghand.com. Beginning April 25, visit www.showyourhelpinghand.com for more information.
The most heavily-anticipated concert event of 2009, Beyoncé's "I AM…" world tour occasions the artist's first full-length concerts since 2007's sold-out "The Beyoncé Experience" shows. Beyoncé's current tour premieres live performances of songs from I AM...SASHA FIERCE, her latest international #1 chart-topping album.
Thierry Mugler, world-renowned designer, is working as creative advisor and costume designer on Beyoncé's "I AM…" world tour. He has designed 71 new costumes for the event, highlighted by his bold signature look.
The "I AM..." world tour production showcases the music and film superstar like you've never seen her before. Beyoncé's extraordinary all-female band will join her again to perform musical hits, classics, and surprises in a newly-created high-tech state-of-the-art concert environment. Winners of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" Video Dance contest will see themselves on-screen during one of the centerpiece sections of the "I AM..." extravaganza.
L'Oréal Paris, one of the co-sponsors of Beyoncé's "I AM..." North American Tour, is celebrating 100 years of legendary beauty with the iconic superstar. Concertgoers will be invited into the L'Oréal Paris Glam Station where the LP Pro Team will provide mini makeovers and touch-ups. Then, fans will walk out onto the red carpet in front of the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Step and Repeat banner for a VIP photo session and reception of VIP L'Oreal Paris lanyard credentials.
Concertgoers can enter the L'Oreal Paris 100th Anniversary Legendary Beauty Sweepstakes to for a chance to win the grand prize, a fabulous 5 day/4 night trip for two to Paris including a beauty makeover. They could also win one of L’Oréal’s 100 anniversary gift baskets which include L’Oreal Paris products.
The Beyoncé "I AM..." North American Concert Tour is co-sponsored by L'Oreal Paris and General Mills and produced by Live Nation and Music World Entertainment.

Most High ruler in the Kingdom !
Halo! Béyoncé Beloved : This decision is by the decree of the watchers and the sentence by the word of the Halo holy ones ,in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the Kingdom of men. Gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men. This dream I, King have seen , you Simaûtokyo, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my Kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able for the Spirit of the Holy Halo Jesus Christ is in you. I love you my Beloved Beautiful B so much . Amen, Amen ! Thanks! Christian,M,Yeka, New Guide! Greetings !

you're an inspiration...
Please Beyonce...If you have the time to bring your tour over to New Zealand, i think that everyone here would be grateful to have you. You r such an inspiration to me and it would be the first time seeing you live in concert which i know i would not be able to miss. I have been your fan for a few years now, and you have created such a name for yourself by just being you...I would be so happy if you could take the time to tour NZ as you are the only person that i would be so grateful to have the opportunity to see live.

Black Horse !
Halo ! Beyonce , Listen, come and see, so I looked, and behold a black horse, and DIVA who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the misdt of the four living creature saying ; A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denaruis and do not harm the oil and the wine . You are worthy, O Lord GOD to receive glory and honor and power; For you created all things, and Christian,M,Yeka and Beyonce Beloved , by your will we exist and were created. Immediately I was in the Spirit ; I did see Seven Lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirit of GOD . The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man , and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. And saying ; Holy,holy,holy Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. Amen,Amen ! Thanks ! CHRISTIAN, M,Yeka, I would like to wish you, Beyonce that good luck and good job 42,and be of good cheer , see you soon, Greetings !

STL~STL~ST. LOUIS
We are eagerly awaiting a St. Louis date to be added.....also, why are the meet and greet tickets so high? I could do without all the extras.....just want to meet her and have a good seat at the show. Times is hard. We don't have celebrity money. We know $1000 is just pocket change to you Bey. Us living check to check people cant afford that!!! Your touring is suppose to be your way of getting close to your fans, but how can you get to them......when the only thing keeping you from them is.......money?
St. Louis
St. Louis is dying for the I Am...World Tour! I noticed that when the tour dates for North America were announced it said that additional dates may be added. I'm begging that Beyonce comes to St. Louis because I will not be able to travel to any other city to see her!!! Please consider St. Louis as an additional tour date!!!!!!!
When does South Africa get its turn to check Beyonce out?
Just LOVE the new album but I was wondering when we in South Africa will get a chance to see Beyonce on stage. Will we EVER have a concert here?
. Even my fiance knows all the lyrics to all the songs 
Oh, did I mention how much I LOVE the album?

BEE I WISH YOU ADD BOUT 3 MORE DATES TO NY AND ADD ONE IN MIA....
