Ghanaian Fans of Jay Z Outburst On ?Jay Z Live In Ghana? Ticket Rate: 1 Million Cedis

When Charterhouse announced the coming of Jay-Z's concert, it was well received in the Ghanaian music industry. Everyone is willing to catch a glimpse of Jay Z rock the stage at the Accra International Conference Centre on 6th October but the huge ticket rate of one million cedis and six hundred thousand cedis is an obstacle.

Chabin, a registered member and a top commentator said "it?s a huge figure but I know people will be going and I think he is doing the world tour to resurrect his career".

Some of his fans here also think if Charterhouse will get some part of the sales, they should donate it to support water projects in Ghana since Jay Z will be looking into water issues in Ghana.

Speaking to a senior staff at Charterhouse on phone, she said, "We have thought about the ticket rates well because it is costing us a lot to bring Jay Z. We are also giving away free 200 tickets just by texting ?Jay Z? to a short code number".

At Jay-Z's 'Reasonable Doubt' 10th Anniversary Concert With Beyonce, Bleek and ?uestlove, he charged 80 dollars at the gates so why does Ghanaians have to pay almost 110 dollars to hear and dance to his songs?
