Kid Rock Says God May ‘Cut Down’ Media for Reporting on $5,000 Tickets

Kid Rock wasn’t kidding round when sang a music about discovering Jesus to conclude the current Turning Point USA various halftime present. He acquired non secular again on social media Friday, although this time the musician was talking about divine judgment — which he urged God might enact on journalists who reported on the worth of his premium live performance tickets.

The singer-rapper said that he’ll pray for members of the media who made headlines out of the $5,000 top price for “first class tickets” to his Freedom 250 Tour. But, he added, the Almighty may have the last phrase on their destiny.

“I WILL pray for them, but I know that sooner or later God will cut ‘em down,” Rock said, referring to members of the media who reported on his ticket costs.

“The fake liberal media says I’m charging $5,000 for front-row tickets,” he wrote in his message — before going on to substantiate that $5K is certainly what he’s charging for the top face-value tickets to his upcoming reveals.

The issue, he said, was context. “They know damn well that’s not the full story.”

“Instead of reporting facts or that lawn seats are only 50 bucks or how we are cutting out the scalpers, they twist it for headlines/clicks and to attack me — nothing new here.”

He explained how many he has put aside 20 “first class” tickets for each present, in the $1000-5000 vary: “Those are extremely limited First Class seats like I explained  — FOUR tickets per row, first five rows only (5k per seat row 1, 4k row 2, 3k row 3, 2k row 4, 1k row 5) — Again ONLY 4 seats in rows 1 through 5 (20 ‘first class’ seats in venues that hold 15k to 25k people).”

Although there are only 20 seats per present in that premium class, if he sells all of them, it can add a major quantity to his nightly tally. Other seats in the first 9 or 10 rows at Rock’s upcoming tour are priced at $500. So if he sells those 20 seats for the marketed $1000-5000 costs, that will present a bump of $50,000 per evening above and past what he would have introduced in pricing them at $500 like other close by seats.

No further VIP perks are being provided for the “first class” seats, past their centrality and proximity to the stage.

The $50 garden seats for the tour do supply an inexpensive various to the mounted seats, which (the first class providing apart) are priced at $500, $200 and, for the last rows, a backside fee of $100.

Is anyone biting… or are followers content to settle for second- or third-class standing?

Early outcomes point out blended response to the gambit. On the tour’s opening evening in Dallas, set for May 1, none of the $5,000 tickets had bought, as of this writing. But it did seem he has bought two of the $4,000 seats, three of the $3,000 tickets, two of the $2,000 ducats and three of the $1,000 seats in Dallas.

Further down the street, May 8 in Raleigh, NC, none of the $5,000, $4,000 or $3,000 seats in the first three rows has yet bought. But two of the 4 $2,000 first class seats in the fourth row have been snapped up, and all 4 $1,000 tickets in the fifth row have been claimed. At the non-premium level, in Raleigh, large blue swaths of $500 stay obtainable. But $200 appears to be the worth that is true for many followers, as a very good variety of rows in the entrance part at that worth point have fully bought by way of.

Kid Rock’s irritation with members of the media comes despite him already having labored off some steam just lately. The MAGA rocker appeared in a shirtless workout video this week with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., giving a center finger to the digital camera during a stationary biking phase before becoming a member of Kennedy in the sauna, all in the promotion of the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy” campaign.

In other Kid Rock news, and talking of God (again), it was announced Friday that the artist has topped Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart for the first time. He achieved it along with his studio recording of “‘Til You Can’t,” the Cody Johnson nation hit he sang on the TPUSA present. Rock will get a co-writing credit score on the tune now after contributing a new last verse telling listeners they “can give your life to Jesus / And he’ll give you a second chance / ‘Til you can’t.”
