Asake’s highly anticipated Lagos homecoming concert has sparked widespread controversy following the announcement of a ₦300,000 ticket price, drawing sharp criticism from fans across social media platforms.
What was meant to be a celebratory return for the Afrobeats star has instead ignited intense debate, with many supporters accusing the organisers of placing the event beyond the reach of his core fanbase.
Several fan pages and commentators have warned that the premium pricing could dampen the excitement around the headline performance, despite the strong anticipation surrounding the show.
The concert is being organised under FlyTime Fest, a brand known for delivering premium live music experiences. While the festival has gradually increased ticket prices over the years, many fans believe the latest hike marks a significant and unjustified leap.
Social media users have continued to express disappointment, with many describing the ₦300,000 fee as excessive and disconnected from the economic realities faced by most Nigerians. Some fans also questioned why international audiences often pay significantly less for similar performances, despite enjoying additional perks such as reserved seating.
Comparisons with ticket prices for other global and Nigerian artistes have further fuelled the outrage, as fans argue that the cost of attending Asake’s Lagos concert now rivals or exceeds that of major international shows.
As public reaction intensifies, it remains to be seen whether the organisers will review the pricing or maintain the current structure ahead of the event.
