Attention Beyoncé fans: Your first shot at getting tickets to see the most decorated artist in Grammys history during her upcoming "Renaissance" World Tour begins Monday, as the the tour's first presale exclusive to Beyoncé fan club members is set to get underway.

"BeyHive Verified Fan" presale ticketing for select shows including the tour's two Chicago stops begin late Sunday, Ticketmaster said, as some lucky, verified BeyHive members received in their email a "unique access code" to use once Monday's presale began. But most people didn't get one, the ticket company says.

"If you're on the waitlist, you're not alone," Ticketmaster said. "Because registration demand was 8x over ticket inventory, most people are on the waitlist."

"There won't be enough tickets to go around," the post from the ticketing giant continued. "But you still have a shot. If you've registered for other onsales, you still have a chance to be selected based on the lottery-style process."

In November, Ticketmaster's site crashed during a presale event for Taylor Swift tickets after the company said it was overwhelmed by fans and bot attacks, leaving many people waiting in queues for hours only to lose tickets. This time, the ticket giant says, it's staggering sales rather than releasing tickets for all the dates at once.

What's the Process For Getting Beyoncé Tickets?

"Beyoncé is using Verified Fan to help fans get tickets," Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation says, on a site dedicated to Beyoncé's tour. "Verified Fan requires registration to help filter out buyers looking to resell tickets and create a less crowded ticket shopping experience for fans."

According to Live Nation, all hopeful ticket buyers -- presale or not -- must register with Ticketmaster to become a "Verified Fan." However, as Taylor Swift fans hoping to get tickets to "The Eras Tour" may remember, "registration does not guarantee tickets," Live Nation says, adding that demand is expected to be high.

"We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available and a lottery-style process will determine which registered Verified Fans receive a unique access code and which are put on the waitlist," the site reads.

Additionally, "Verified Fan" registration deadlines vary by city. However, those deadlines have all passed.

After registering to become a "Verified Fan," Ticketmaster must "authorize" your account, the company says. Users can then expect to receive an email from Ticketmaster confirming that their registration has been recorded.

"This email is to confirm we have received your registration information," one such email obtained by NBC 5 reads. "You’ll receive an email on Friday, February 10 confirming next steps."

However, registering for the "Verified Fan Onsale" does not guarantee access to the sale, the email says. "Since we expect demand to exceed the number of tickets available, some people who register will be put on the waitlist," the email reads.

And, while those who are granted access to the sale may have a better shot at securing tickets, nothing is guaranteed, Ticketmaster stresses.

"Being invited to the Verified Fan Onsale doesn’t guarantee tickets," the email reads. "Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis."

Finally, one day prior to the sale, "Verified Fans" can expect to receive an email that indicates whether they've been invited to the sale, or whether they've been waitlisted, Ticketmaster says.
