Presale for the UK tour opened yesterday (June 4), but some fans were so shocked by prices, they've decided instead to purchase Wireless Festival 2025 tickets instead, where the singer will headline for three days in a row (July 11 to 13).

On social media platform X, one fan wrote, "£200 for a single Drake ticket!? In this economy... Hella out of touch."

Another agreed, as they said: "£500 a piece for helicopter view tickets for Drake presale in Manchester. £280 to stand when tickets are advertised at £64. Absolute robbery."

Some vowed to purchase Wireless tickets instead. "General standing for Drake is £170 and seats are £155? I’ll just go to Wireless."
