Asake’s upcoming Lagos homecoming concert has stirred major backlash after organisers unveiled a ₦300,000 ticket price.
The development has sparked outrage among fans who insisted that the cost was unreasonable and would shut out the core supporters who fueled his rise.
What should have been a triumphant return for the Afrobeats star is now overshadowed by criticism across social media, where fans accused organisers of turning the show into an elite-only event.
Many argued that the pricing is wildly out of touch with his home audience, especially when similar seats at his international concerts cost far less.
Several fan communities have warned that the steep fees could dampen excitement around the headline show, adding that FlyTime Fest’s steady push into premium pricing has finally hit a breaking point.
Online conversations continue to swell, with many describing the ₦300,000 ticket as “outrageous” and “unfair,” reigniting a larger debate about rising concert costs in Nigeria and the shrinking accessibility of major music events.
See some comments below;
@iam_derin: “Flytime has turned concerts into luxury events. 300k for standing? At this point it’s cheaper to watch Asake on YouTube.”
@mrfash__: “This pricing strategy is wild. Asake’s core fans can’t afford this. Who exactly is this show for?”
@AdaOnyeukwu: “Every year, these ticket prices go higher. Soon concerts in Lagos will only be for the elite. This is not what Afrobeats should represent.”
@theo_dafe: “Imagine paying 300k and still fighting for space to breathe. They’re testing our patience with these concerts.”
@MunaWrites: “Asake is talented, no doubt. But the organisers need to be serious. People are struggling. Read the room.”
@oluwadamilare: “This is how you kill the excitement for December shows. They’re monetising vibes at this point.”
@BlaqOrchid: “$300 in Nigeria is not the same as $300 abroad. Stop using international pricing to justify local exploitation.”
