The ticket page lists Flytime Fest details and VIP perks. Many took to X to voice anger and disbelief about the fee. See Rudeboy accuser arrested and arraigned for another recent entertainment story.

Many fans argued the price shuts out ordinary Lagos music lovers. Others suggested cheaper tiers or staggered ticket releases to help. The debate fueled wider talk about concert affordability in Lagos.

Fan reaction online

Some fans posted screenshots of the ticket checkout page online. The listing shows event date, venue and VIP price details plainly. Several screenshots circulated with purchase totals and seating maps for fans.

Promoters say ticket costs cover staging, production and service fees. ValidUpdates also reports on recent concert debates such as Taye Arimoro suspended by AGN. Promoters responded that pricing matches current market demand and costs.

 Others defended the price as market driven and fair for fans. They said VIP seats include extras that raise the ticket cost. They said VIP packages include priority entry and premium viewing areas.

What organisers say

Cene ticketing shows the event page with price and venue. It notes accessibility options and a service charge included in the price. The ticket platform shows VAT and a discretionary service charge included.

Fans asked organisers for cheaper public seating and group discounts. Some suggested charity or youth tickets to widen access for young fans. Fans asked for clear refund terms if shows change dates.

A fan group said they will petition promoters for fairer pricing. They planned an online petition and a coordinated ticket boycott day. Organisers did not immediately reply to direct messages seeking comment.

Music industry watchers say high production costs often push ticket prices up. Still, they urge promoters to create lower cost options for wider audiences. Analysts say a balance is needed between artist pay and fan access.

The debate shows demand for big names but also for fair pricing. Organisers and promoters now face pressure to answer fan concerns quickly. The coming days may show whether organisers will change pricing plans.
