Vybz Kartel recently got out of prison after spending 13 years behind bars, and he hasn't wasted any time getting back to work. The performer recently announced his first post-prison performance, which is scheduled for December 31 at Jamaica National Stadium. Of course, his supporters are eager to celebrate with him. Unfortunately, however, some believe that tickets are priced far too high.
For reference, tickets start at $125 USD for bleacher seats, $300 for grandstand seats, $400 for the infield standing area, and $1500 for center stage. There are also two additional tiers starting at $10K that offer attendees luxury viewing pods. The prices have sparked a major debate in The Jasmine Brand's comments section, as fans discuss whether or not they're worth it.

While some argue that the prices are steep, many are coming to Vybz Kartel's defense, noting that it'll be a historic show. "He's simply making up on some lost money!" a supporter writes. "They coming from all over the world and Japan to see the world boss. He know his worth," another claims. Others aren't buying it and would prefer to watch clips from the performance from the comfort of their own homes. "Hell no," one Instagram user says. "How much parking lot going for?" someone else jokes.
Many also point out that these prices aren't out of the ordinary for major artists, and that it's likely he doesn't have control over them.
