Asake faces backlash over ₦300k Lagos show VIP ticket price

Key Points

• Fans say ₦300,000 is far beyond many buyers’ budgets. They call the price unfair for a local show.

• Organisers list VIP perks on the ticket page. Promoters say fees cover production cost and taxes.

• Some users defended the fee as market driven. Others urge cheaper tiers to help ordinary fans.

Asake (Ahmed Ololade) is facing online backlash after ticket prices surfaced. Screenshots show VIP tickets listed at ₦300,000 for his Lagos show.

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.

Introducing Blinkfire Ticketing Intelligence: Smarter Insights That Connect Ticketing, Sponsorship, and Fans

The way teams sell, price, and promote tickets is evolving, and so should the data behind those decisions. Blinkfire Ticketing Intelligence is a first-of-its-kind solution built to help sports organizations connect ticketing performance, sponsorship visibility, and fan engagement like never before.

Official Ticketmaster Nexus Data Integration

Through an official Ticketmaster Nexus partnership and data integration, Blinkfire provides authorized access to real-time ticketing data from Ticketmaster, including attendance, inventory, and fan demographics. Combined with Blinkfire’s industry-leading AI analytics, this integration delivers a complete picture across sponsorship, fan engagement, and attendance.

Quantifying In-Venue Sponsorship Exposure

Beyond the turnstiles, Blinkfire connects ticketing data to in-venue sponsorship performance. By pairing section-level attendance data with the visibility of sponsorship assets, from mezzanine adboards to jumbotrons, teams can precisely measure brand reach within their own stadiums.

Blinkfire’s sport-specific asset tracking enables teams to value and rank asset exposure. Whether it’s Kia spotted on a stanchion pole pad at a basketball game or Enterprise exposure on a hockey dasher board, every impression can be tracked and valued with precision.

Turning Social Engagement into Ticket Sales

Social media should do more than create buzz. Content should sell tickets. With Blinkfire’s new product, teams can analyze how social engagement directly impacts sales, identifying which posts, promotions, or players spark conversions.

For example, a WNBA team might discover that behind-the-scenes locker room clips drive more link clicks than postgame highlights, while a Premier League club could see that influencer collaborations outperform paid campaigns in conversion rate.

A New Era of Data-Driven Ticketing

We know that every ticket sold and every brand impression matters. Your ticketing, marketing, and partnership teams deserve to work from a shared source of truth. Blinkfire Ticketing Business Intelligence empowers organizations to:

• Build dynamic pricing and targeted campaigns based on social engagement and attendance trends
• Strengthen sponsorship ROI reporting with integrated, venue-level exposure data
• Optimize fan outreach through insights on who’s engaging online and showing up in person

Explore Blinkfire’s Ticketing Technology

It’s time to turn ticketing data into actionable intelligence. Learn more about how Blinkfire can transform your organization’s approach to sponsorships, fan engagement, and sales.
