SOHH Squad
Rap mogul JAY-Z has fans wondering if his 4:44 nationwide tour is more hype than reality. Media reports are revealing some extremely cheap tickets are up for grabs to see the Jigga Man promote his latest solo release.
According to a new report, there is clear evidence fans aren’t pulling through to see Young Hov slay like he used to.
Jay-Z is accustomed to multi-platinum albums and sold-out shows. But this time around, fans didn’t even know where to find 4:44. And they seem equally uninterested in seeing the rapper live. As the 4:44 circus train leaves the station, fans are leaking some moribund details. Tickets are largely going unsold, with bargain basement deals surfacing. That includes a shockingly-low $6 seat in Anaheim. And maybe that’s the first of many. On that same date, $11 tickets were plentiful. (Digital Music News)
Additional reports point out a vast majority of tix are going up on resale sites like Stubhub.
The tour officially kicked off last week on October 27, but fans have been seeing tickets going for prices like $6, $11, or $24. To be fair, these tickets are on resale sites like Seat Geek or StubHub. Fans are also able to buy tickets just days before the date of the show, which is usually unheard of. For example: there are still tickets available for the show in Denver on Sunday, November 5, with floor tickets for as low as $69. There also appear to be plenty of tickets still available in all sections for Jay Z’s performance in his hometown of Brooklyn. (Complex)
Social media has shown no mercy and acknowledged JAY’s wide range of available cheap tix.

However, additional reports suggest JAY’s extremely low-priced tix are ultimately giving him the last laugh.
The JAY-Z tickets selling for $6 a pop on StubHub don’t reflect soft demand for his tour: they’re actually a sign that the hip-hop star has successfully priced ticket scalpers out of the game by charging market rates for the best seats in the house. Just three dates in, JAY-Z’s 4:44 Tour is already the rapper’s highest grossing solo tour ever, promoter Live Nation tells Billboard. (Billboard)
