Fans aren't too happy about the ticket prices for Drake's UK shows
Drake has just announced some European and UK shows for this Spring, but fans aren't happy about parting ways with triple digits for a ticket.
Assassination Vacation is the name of Drake's new tour, and, to put it frankly, the only thing he's assassinating is his fans' bank balances.
He's planning to play London's O2 Arena for six days, and he's bringing support acts Tory Lanez (will they have an argument over which "Controlla" to perform?!) and BBC 1Xtra's Tiffany Calver. Drake last played London's O2 Arena in 2017, as part of his The Boy Meets World tour.
Drake's new tour dates come with a bit of a catch though; you'll have to do a bit of saving for a decent ticket, unless you want to pay over £50 for a side stage seat where you basically get a VIP view of the speakers.
He's asking fans to pay £140 for a standing ticket, with some seated tickets going over £170. I don't know if that's "God's Plan", but, come on, that's a bit excessive isn't it? Anyway, here's some of the best reactions we've found so far.
Drake really charging £140 for me to be standing whilst he performs live ? pic.twitter.com/Vwh4umkGBs

This week Tesco are selling freddo bars for 10p each. So would you rather be at the back of an arena barely able to see drake or would you rather have 1400 freddos?
