The announcement of Flytime Fest’s ticket prices has reignited frustration among Nigerian music lovers, who say December shows are fast becoming unaffordable luxuries. With Asake’s December 24 performance set at ₦300,000, Davido’s Christmas Day show at ₦250,000, and Olamide charging ₦120,000 for December 23, fans argue that the festive concert experience is slipping out of reach.
Even Fireboy DML’s comparatively modest ₦35,000 ticket for December 28 hasn’t calmed the outrage, as many claim the pricing across the board reflects a disconnect between promoters and the economic struggles of everyday Nigerians. Social media platforms are buzzing with complaints, with many questioning why Flytime Fest and other organizers seem unbothered by the growing backlash.
As calls for more accessible pricing grow louder, pressure mounts on promoters to strike a balance between premium production value and affordability. Whether the uproar leads to adjustments—or simply deeper resentment—remains to be seen as December draws closer.
