Always wanted to meet pop idol Beyoncé? Well, now you can – but it comes at a price!

The singing superstar is offering backstage ‘meet and greets’ on her upcoming tour – but girlie gossip with the Single Ladies star will set you back a whopping £1,265.

The package, which costs 25 times the price of a standard ticket, includes entrance to a pre-show party in an ‘exclusive VIP room’ where there will be a ‘specially selected luxury dinner buffet’.

The ticket also allows use of a complimentary bar and, after meeting Beyoncé and having their photograph taken with her, the ticket holders will be able to watch her concert from a front row seat.

They will also walk away with a goodie bag filled with an autographed tour book, a wristband and a one-year membership to the Beyoncé fan club.

According to the Telegraph, the packages are being organised by Event Travel, and are available through Ticketmaster.

Event Travel director Tim Smales said: ‘This is an expensive event but it is available to a very small number of paying customers - about 10 to 15 guests at each event.

‘It is for those who are really passionate about the artist and whose budget allows.

‘It will be a unique, once in a lifetime experience.

‘The whole nature of the music industry is changing to offer that little bit extra to those who can afford it and this is a real VIP affair.’

Seems they've all forgotten about Britain’s biggest recession for 60 years...

Beyoncé is this year touring in the UK to promote her third solo album I Am… Sasha Fierce, which went straight in at No.1 in America’s Billboard 200 chart.

I think this is dreadful PR for her. Doesn't she earn enough?? Are tickets to her concert not expensive enough already? Can she not give a little "free" time to true fans who really want to meet her? I'm not a fan and this ensures I never will be!!

Seems unfair - even the most devoted fan will never meet their idol unless they are rich. Talk about unjust - what happened to an equal society? It seems Beyonce doesn't care about her fans unless they pay her to.

Look you guys, I'm a Beyonce STAN and I wish I can get in her VIP's for freee, but think about it, if she let all her fans in for freee, she wouldn't leave d place until like 10000 days she'd never be able to get out. So think about that.
