Kanye West and Drake fans are anticipating their joint concert next month but they’re less excited about the ticket prices.

The two rappers will be sharing the stage together in December at the Free Larry Hoover concert, just weeks after they finally ended their bitter beef. 

They had been locked in a salty feud for years but Kanye, 44, flew over to Drake’s mega mansion in Toronto last week to celebrate their reconciliation at a star-studded party. 

It was later confirmed that the hip hop stars would be performing together at a concert at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles on December 9 to ‘raise awareness and support’ for imprisoned gang leader Larry Hoover. 

However, fans have been raising their eyebrows about the ticket prices, with general tickets starting at $200 (£150) on Ticketmaster in the US, and going as high as $1,500 (£1,122). 

For those feeling particularly fancy, they can splash out on official platinum tickets which are currently selling for $3,985 (£2,981). According to Ticketmaster, official platinum seats are premium tickets to concerts and other events made available by artists and event organisers. They are different to VIP tickets and give fans fair and safe access to some of the best seats in the house.

The VIP tickets up for sale include a reserved ticket in the first five rows of the lower bowl, as well as access to the pre-show hospitality lounge, a red carpet opportunity to commemorate the evening, one parking spot and early entrance to the venue. 

Reacting to the prices, one fan tweeted: ‘How are Kanye & Drake nosebleeds tickets going for $200 (retail price)?’ 

Another also cried: ‘Kanye and drake tickets being 400 is wild to me.. I can buy 18 pairs of pants + 7 Nike jackets from eBay for that price.’

One stated: ‘The price of those Kanye/Drake tickets holy s**t.’ 

‘These kanye and drake tickets….the price got me so dizzy,’ one agreed.

Weighing up their options, one fan questioned: ‘Is $550 worth it i just dont know.’ 

News of the concert was first floated by Kanye earlier this month, when he appealed to Drake, 34, to end their beef, urging: ‘I’m making this video to address the ongoing back-and-forth between myself and Drake.

‘Both me and Drake have taken shots at each other and it’s time to put it to rest.

‘I’m asking Drake to join me on stage as a special guest to share the two biggest albums of the year live in Los Angeles with the ultimate purpose being to free Larry Hoover.

‘I believe this event will not only bring awareness to our cause but prove to people everywhere how much more we can accomplish when we lay our pride to the side and come together.’
