Ticket prices, which have been released, are priced between R950 and R2850 depending on the package.

Fans share thoughts on prices

An eager fan @mbalimosea, shared a screenshot of the event details with a string of cry-face emojis and a simple "Guys???😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭" — which pretty much summed up the collective reaction she received from the rest of the online users.

Some fans were not fazed at all. @nmhlantla declared she was already committed: "I'm going. I am not even going to act all woke apha. I love me some good old R&B, and usisi has an incredible catalogue, so I'm definitely going."

@Its_melB18 also felt the pricing was fair, writing, "They actually are not that bad, ey."

Not everyone was as enthusiastic, though. @MasizoleSukwana was blunt about the full cost of the experience: "Not worth it, plus flights and accommodation, nope."

Brandy is widely regarded as one of the greatest R&B voices of her generation, with a catalogue stretching back to her self-titled debut in 1994. Her return to South Africa has been much anticipated, and for many local fans, the chance to see her live is a rare one, regardless of price.
