For this year's OVO Fest, Drake is joined by B2K, Mario, Lloyd, Pretty Ricky, Ying Yang Twins, Chingy, and Bobby V.
That's not a very impressive lineup for any year, and certainly not for 2019.
Yet, Drake is charging a pretty penny for tickets to his ninth annual Toronto event.
Fans are not happy:
$500 for lawn seats at #OVOFest

Lawn = $500
Everywhere else= $1000
The Budweiser stage holds 16,000 people and 7,000 on the lawn.
Lawn = 7,000 x $500 = $3,500,000
Everywhere else = 16,000 x $1,000 = $16,000,000
How much money does one guy need...

I bought 11 ovo fest tickets one year that didn’t even cost me $800 and they were all GA/200s

There may be an explanation for all of the sticker shock:
Those were "Official Platinum" Tickets. Lawns for Day 1 were $75 and Day 2 $175, but sold out right away.
