Ticket sales for the second half of Kanye West’s “Yeezus” tour were
so dismal, prices were slashed and freebies were given out at the last
minute for shows in New Jersey and New York.
We’re told several brokers were offering massively discounted tickets
— and even free ones — for shows at the Prudential Center last week and
for Sunday’s Nassau Coliseum gig, after only half of tickets for the
Prudential Center show were sold, while just a third of the tickets were
sold for Sunday’s Nassau show.
“He’d already been in the area four times,” said one music insider. “Why would fans go out [again]?”
West, in January, announced nine additional East Coast concert dates
after he’d already performed 30 dates across the US, including concerts
at the Barclays Center and MSG.
Kendrick Lamar and A Tribe Called Quest toured with West as supporting acts during the earlier dates.
A West rep would not comment on ticket sales, but said Sunday’s
performance was “one of the more energetic crowds I’ve seen on this tour
and definitely a great performance from Kanye.”
