Nombulelo looked up the tickets on Ticketpro, and everything looked legit until she noticed that the site used way too many emojis, and the concert was open to all ages:
“It looks like a copy and paste from a WhatsApp group.”
The site has no map to figure out the stadium, nor explain what the consumer would get when they purchase a ticket of a certain amount. Ticketpro is also not clear on what is allowed and not allowed in the venue.
What we know about the upcoming Kanye West Concert
The event is said to be on the 13th of December at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg. The show will start at 5 pm and tickets start from R850.
Kanye West has posted about the concert on Twitter, along with another show he’ll be having in Brazil on 29 November. The South African show is being promoted by Monyake Group, in coordination with Ellis Park.
Tickets are not yet available on Ticketpro and state that ‘sale starts soon’ with no active ticket prices. The Monyake Group is relatively unknown, and its online presence is minimal, raising doubts among fans.
South Africans are calling for better communication in the form of legitimate press releases to confirm the show. Fans are also excited about Travis Scott’s upcoming show in just a couple of days.
The star is set to perform on 11 October at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Tickets are not yet sold out, which gives fans a chance to see their idol on stage.
