Tickets for Drake and 21 Savage’s upcoming It’s All A Blur tour are said to be selling at skyrocketing prices that even their fans are not happy about. While tickets for the general public aren’t going on sale until Friday, those who are CashApp cardholders were treated to a presale through Ticketmaster on Wednesday afternoon — but the prices for shows even further away from the stage have people second-guessing if they still want to attend the concert altogether.
One fan who was hoping to secure tickets hopped onto Twitter and claimed that CashApp previously claimed tickets would be selling for as low as $69.99, but the cheapest people were able to find were going for $229 and above. Another person keen to attend the show in Atlanta seemed just as surprised when she browsed Ticketmaster during the presale only to be left with numbers that were significantly higher than what she paid for her Renaissance tickets. “Drake ticket prices are wild for the Atlanta show. I didn’t even pay this to see Beyoncé,” she wrote.

One hesitant fan said they had to contemplate whether they were going to spend $600 for a floor ticket accompanied by a sad-looking picture of Kevin Hart. “Drake concert tickets 1k for a seat??? He better sit in my lap and sings in my ears,” another displeased Drizzy fan expressed. The It’s All A Blur tour kicks off in June and will support the pair’s most recent project, “Her Loss,” on top of “Certified Lover Boy” and “Honestly, Nevermind.”
Tickets for the Houston date were said to have sold out within minutes of the presale going live, showing clear signs that this tour is undoubtedly in hot demand. Some even argued that Beyonce and Jay-Z charged fairly high prices for their On The Run 2 tour, prompting others to hit back, saying Drake and 21 Savage shouldn’t be compared to either Bey and Jay when it comes to touring.

Another viral tweet about Drake’s tour prices had somebody asking why people were mad at paying $600 for floor tickets at a joint tour when artists such as Chris Brown were charging $1,000 for a meet-and-greet backstage pass after each of his shows.
Generally speaking, tour prices have undoubtedly increased for most artists since the pandemic, but Drake fans are not happy having to dig deep into their pockets in order to see him live on tour. Socialites, do you think Drizzy and 21 are overcharging people with his upcoming tour?
