Kid Rock Defends $5,000 Concert Tickets, Criticizes Media Coverage

Kid Rock is defendeding his Freedom 250 Tour pricing structure after media reports surfaced about the musician charging $5,000 for front-row tickets. Rock wrote on X on Friday (Feb. 20): "The fake liberal media says I'm charging $5,000 for front-row tickets. They know damn well that's not the full story. I WILL pray for them but I know that sooner or later God will cut 'em down." Rock went on to confirm the $5,000 cost, but he explained only 20 "first class" seats exist per show across five rows, with those tickets priced from $1,000 to $5,000. Early sales show mixed results, with Dallas selling some premium seats but no $5,000 tickets as of Friday. Rock added, "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." The tour opens May 1 in Dallas.
