American rapper Kanye West, commonly known as Ye, is set to perform in St. Petersburg, Russia on October 10 and 11 at Gazprom Arena. Tickets for the concerts, priced from 9,000 to 160,000 rubles ($105 to $1,880), have already sold out for the cheapest seats. This is Ye's first visit to Russia, following a previous private trip to Moscow in 2024.
The concert is being organized by Say Agency, a concert promoter with close ties to the Russian government. The organizer's website has since removed the 9,000-ruble ticket option, but scammers are already offering discounted tickets online. Russian lawmakers and Orthodox activists have expressed opposition to the concert, with some demanding its cancellation due to Ye's controversial past statements and Russia's involvement in the war against Ukraine.
