Fans of Chris Brown are expressing their frustration over the prices of tickets for his upcoming Breezy Bowl XX World Tour, which were announced last week. The tour is set to feature over 30 shows across various locations between June and September 2025, including seven performances in the UK and Ireland. The excitement surrounding the tour is palpable, but so is the backlash regarding ticket costs.
The first UK shows will take place at Manchester's Co-op Live on June 15 and 16, with presale opportunities having begun on March 31, 2025. General sales for tickets are scheduled to kick off on April 3, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time, and will be available through major ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
However, many fans are feeling priced out of the experience. According to Ticketmaster, the ticket prices range from £76.50 to a staggering £498.44, inclusive of fees. Venue hospitality tickets for the London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show on June 21, 2025, were notably priced at £374, prompting disappointment among fans. One user on social media expressed their disbelief, stating, "£374 for Chris Brown tickets. Nah I’m good you man enjoy." Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "I thought there was a glitch at first cause surely not. Who is paying these prices?"
Prices for the Co-op Live shows are similarly steep, with standard tickets listed between £76.50 and £455.70. VIP packages, which include options like Premium Early Entry VIP Gold Circle and seated packages, are priced between £143.95 and £479.95. Fans have taken to social media to voice their discontent, with one commenting, "So I just joined the Chris Brown presale and tickets were so ridiculously expensive and they were almost all gone, kinda ****ing it now." Another lamented the high prices, stating, "Apparently Chris Brown tickets might be £120 loool I ain’t paying that."
Despite the backlash, there are fans who remain excited about the opportunity to see Brown live. One ecstatic fan posted, "I CAN’T BELIEVE I AM SEEING CHRIS BROWN AGAIN AHHHH," while another joyfully announced, "Chris Brown tickets secured! Thank you." Another fan humorously mentioned, "Working extra so I can pay for Chris Brown tickets lol."
The Breezy Bowl XX World Tour will officially kick off in Amsterdam on June 8, 2025, and will feature performances across Europe and North America, concluding in Arlington, Texas, on September 3, 2025. The tour is notable not only for its extensive lineup but also for the support acts, including American singer and rapper Bryson Tiller, who will join Brown during the UK shows.
In addition to the UK leg of the tour, Brown will also perform at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on August 12, 2025. This performance is particularly special as it pays homage to his 2005 self-titled debut album. Tickets for this show are expected to hover around $100, making it slightly more accessible compared to other venues. The presale for this event will start on April 1, 2025, at 10 a.m. and will end on April 2, 2025, at 9 a.m. through Ticketmaster, with the general sale commencing shortly after on April 3, 2025.
For those who miss out on the initial sale, tickets will still be available on resale sites such as StubHub and Vivid Seats, starting at around $110. First-time customers purchasing through Vivid Seats can also take advantage of a promotion offering $20 off ticket orders over $200 with the promo code NJ20 at checkout. The cheapest tickets for the MetLife Stadium show are currently listed at $101 on Viagogo before any additional fees.
Chris Brown's Breezy Bowl XX World Tour marks his return to the stage after the 2024 11:11 Tour, which primarily featured arena performances. This time, he is expanding his reach to larger stadiums, allowing for a more significant audience to enjoy his music.
In addition to his tour, Brown is set to headline the sixth Tycoon Music Festival in Detroit alongside notable artists such as Wiz Khalifa and Gucci Mane on April 19, 2025. This festival appearance adds to the anticipation surrounding his tour and showcases his continued influence in the music industry.
As fans eagerly await the chance to secure their tickets, the mixed reactions to pricing highlight the ongoing debate over concert ticket affordability in today’s music scene. While some fans are willing to pay a premium for the experience, others are left feeling disheartened by the cost.
In a world where live music experiences are increasingly coveted, the balance between artist revenue and fan accessibility continues to be a contentious issue. As the Breezy Bowl XX World Tour approaches, it remains to be seen how fans will navigate the ticketing landscape and what impact this will have on attendance at Chris Brown’s highly anticipated shows.
