Comedian Alibaba and Seyi have revealed why tickets to comedy shows are very expensive.
Alibaba first took to social media where he revealed that the tickets are expensive because it cost a lot to host a show in Nigeria.
Seyi Law on his own part wrote:
“Thanks @alibabagcfr for constantly trying to educate people about the efforts of entertainers and events management practitioners.
I can’t write the epistle needed to drive home this point. The cost and class demands of the events in Nigeria without sponsorship drive up ticket pricing. These and more are the reasons we are constantly grateful to media houses that oblige us their platforms for advertising. Now, AFCON is encroaching into that territory to frustrate our efforts.
What is the government doing to encourage these businesses that create 100 to 200 direct and indirect jobs per show? Make I leave the matter for now. I am looking for sponsors for my Abuja show abeg.”
