Nigerian artiste signed to Nigerian record label YBNL, Ahmed Ololade, known by his stage name as Asake, has come under heavy criticism following the release of ticket prices for his show.
The rising star, who took 2022 by storm, dropping hits back to back, had a lot of tongue wagging after the minimum price for his upcoming December concert tagged the ‘Mr. Money With Vibe Feat’, ranged from N70,000 for regular to N10 million for the VVIP category.
Tickets for the concert have since gone on sale, but the exorbitant cost of the various sections of the venue of the concert has grabbed the attention of many netizens.
From checks, it would cost stern concertgoers N70, 000 to access the venue for a standing position throughout the event.
Other ticket prices are N4 million , N8 million and N10 million being the highest price for the VVIP session at the concert.
The highly anticipated concert is billed to hold on December 22nd at EKO Convention Centre in Lagos state.
