Reports are coming in that the tour in support of Jay-Z‘s latest album, 4:44, isn’t living up to the critical acclaim of the record with poor ticket sales. With online sellers reportedly letting top-tier tickets go for as low as $6, is the reign of Hov as a concert draw nearing an end?
Digital Music News reports:
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 (see above).
And maybe that’s the first of many. On that same date, $11 tickets were plentiful.
The outlet adds that none of the opening dates in many of the large venues are close to selling out and while there might be some last minute buyers to pack out places as the word gets out, this isn’t what was expected when Jay-Z re-upped his deal with Live Nation.
