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.”
