Fans trying to score Kendrick Lamar and SZA tickets were in for a very unpleasant surprise during this week’s presales. Thousands of fans waited for over an hour in the digital queue. While waiting in the hopes of scoring presale tickets, a notification box popped up letting fans know ticket prices were $65.15-$1,471.33, including service fees. Many were stoked in the hopes of landing a $65 nosebleed, however, and like with many major Ticketmaster/Live Nation tours, those $65 tickets were far and few.
Tickets as far back as the third to last row were priced at $246 (including service fees). This translates to a face-value ticket price of $195 with a service fee of $52. And just so you’re informed, the artist and their camp set the face-value price of standard tickets. Anything you see via third-party resellers like VividSeats or StubHub is not set by the artist and their team. Neither are Ticketmaster tickets that are noted as “Verified Resale Ticket.” Ticket scalpers set resale ticket prices, and that’s why they’re almost always priced crazy high.
The quoted ticket prices were pulled from Kendrick and SZA’s May 21st show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

With all that said, remember when fans were mad over Drake’s $137 nosebleed ticket price for his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage? Well, Kendrick has outdone Drake once again (but not in the way we’d like to see).
As expected, fans were outraged by Kendrick and SZA’s high ticket prices.
