Nigerian singer, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has been trending after the prices for his Lagos concert surfaced online.

The concert which is scheduled to hold in December had prices for tables and VIP only. No regular tickets.

Tickets for tables will sell for between three million naira to 10 million naira while the VIP tickets, where the holders will stand throughout the show, will be available for N70, 000 only.

This has caused a lot of Nigerians to react with most lamenting how expensive the ticket prices are.

Lamenting how he has been budgeting for the show, Roni Elemi said, “I actually feel really betrayed by the prices of Asake’s ticket.

I’ve tried to play it cool all day but I am really sad. “My friends and I were legit budgeting and doing song arrangement, only to be told that you never even had a chance to make it to the gate. Not fair.”

Igwe said, “Asake indexed his pricing to the USD without considering the fact that we are simply too poor in Nigeria. Imagine paying $100 for a regular ticket. Wish him all the best but I am out.”

Revealing that it is not Asake who put prices on the ticket, Big gg said, “You guys realise that Asake isn’t the one that decides the ticket prices right?”

Alabi asked, “Abi make I sell my wife jewellery take buy Asake VIP ticket?”.

Asake charging N70k for his standing ticket isn't the problem, u fans are. Y'all ¤verrate these artistes, especially the upcomers; On a real Nigerian artistes should be giving Nigerians a free concert every December, or at least charge very low as a way of thanking their fans.

Jokes apart, if Asake thinks I’m buying a ticket of 70k just to stand and listen to mirowaved songs, he’s right and I’ll even sacrifice all my followers for it.???

Asake is not serious. Even Wizkid didn’t charge $100 for regular ticket at his Madison Square Garden concert. But Asake want to charge $100 for a regular ticket at a concert in Lagos where people would stand the whole night with no good air ventilation. Ok o
