Drake fans are turning to a lesser-known UK gig after the rapper's UK tour prices were labelled 'out of touch'.

Drizzy announced his first UK tour in six years on Tuesday (June 3), with just five show dates up for grabs.


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."

LADbible has contacted Ticketmaster for a comment.
