Vybz Kartel’s Show Tickets Go on Sale, Fans Eager for Return

Tickets for Vybz Kartel’s first live performance in over two decades have officially gone on sale, and the anticipation surrounding the “World Boss” is undeniable. The moment fans have been waiting for finally arrived this morning at 10 a.m., and it was clear that Kartel’s loyal followers are ready to see their icon take the stage once again.

Our team had a front-row seat to the action, joining the virtual queue at 10:01 a.m. to secure tickets. We were number 7,265 in line – and that was just the presale! After an anxious 10-minute wait, we were finally able to enter the ticketing platform, but options were limited. Despite the presale being exclusive to select fans, it became evident that demand had already far exceeded the available tickets. With Vybz Kartel returning to perform in the U.S. for the first time in 20 years, fans were clearly eager to be part of history.

Ticket prices ranged from $1,770 for premium floor seats to $300 for the 200-level sections. The lower bowl, closer to the stage, saw prices in the high $800 range, while higher sections gradually saw prices drop to the mid-$400 range. While the early-bird tickets were in high demand, it quickly became clear that the general public sale, scheduled for March 6 at 10 a.m., might not even offer an opportunity for many to score a spot.

At the time of this article’s release, there are less than 30 tickets left to purchase, highlighting just how quickly they are selling out. The frenzy surrounding Kartel’s performance only adds to the excitement, with fans taking to Reggae Fest’s social media platforms to express their frustration over the limited availability. One fan posted, “The queue longgggg 20,000 ppl waiting 😩 @vybzkartel I would love 10 tickets!” Another echoed the sentiments many are feeling, writing, “Y’all gonna have to have another date. Ain’t no way.”

As tickets for this rare performance quickly sell out, the demand for an additional show is growing. Many believe that Reggae Fest will be left with no choice but to add another date, as fans from all corners of the world continue to voice their desire to experience Kartel live. Whether the festival listens to the calls for an extra date remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the World Boss is back, and his fans can’t wait to see him in person.

Will There Be a Second Date?

With tickets flying off the virtual shelves and fans filling up the queue, there are growing concerns that the general sale on March 6 may be just as chaotic. Many people have voiced their frustration over the limited availability and are urging Reggae Fest to consider adding a second show to meet the overwhelming demand.

Only time will tell if Kartel’s team will listen to the calls for an extra date, but one thing is for certain: the excitement surrounding his return is palpable, and it’s clear that fans are more than ready to see their World Boss take the stage once again.
