“Sooner Or Later, God Will Cut ‘Em Down”: Kid Rock Calls Out “Liberal Media” & Clarifies Pricing On His ‘Freedom 250 Tour’ Tickets

Kid Rock is setting the story straight.

In a matter of months, the “All Summer Long” singer will kick off a celebratory concert run in honor of the United States of America turning 250 years old. Kid Rock decided to call his 10-stop tour the Freedom 250 Tour, and it’s set to be quite the patriotic, red-white-and-blue event.

About a week ago, the country-rock artist took to his social media account to let fans know that he was doing everything he can to keep the tickets to his event affordable and out of the hands of scalpers. Kid Rock actually worked with Ticketmaster to sell this tour’s tickets through the “Face Value Exchange” program (if you swipe right on the post below, you can read more about it):

“Concerning our ‘Freedom 250 Tour: The Road To Nashville,’ and how we are selling tickets. The best I can come up with at this present time, in the present state of ticketing that I have been working tirelessly to try and fix – and as hard as I’ve been on Ticketmaster, I want to thank them for working with me on this. Kid Rock’s Freedom 250 Tour is using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange to keep tickets in the hands of real fans — not scalpers.”

Obviously, Robert Richie is doing his best to fight the overpriced ticket epidemic. But even with those efforts, others across the media have hammered Kid Rock for selling front row tickets to his Freedom 250 Tour for $5,000. That’s caused an uproar, but in reality, those tickets are “First Class Seats,” and versions of them are offered in rows one through five (and prices drop by $1,000 each row you go back).

Other tickets throughout the venue range from $50 (lawn seats) to $500 or so (directly behind the “First Class Seats”) Most seats are going for $100 a piece. In order to cut through all of the confusion, Kid Rock posted this message on his social media:

“Here we go again. The fake liberal media says I’m charging $5,000 for front-row tickets. They know damn well that’s not the full story. Those are extremely limited First Class seats like I explained  — FOUR tickets per row, first five rows only (5k per seat row 1, 4k row 2, 3k row 3, 2k row 4, 1k row 5).

Again ONLY 4 seats in rows 1 through 5 (20 “first class” seats in venues that hold 15k to 25k people). But 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 – nothing new here. I WILL pray for them but I know that sooner or later God will cut ‘em down.”

In other words, there are plenty of affordable tickets for Kid Rock’s upcoming tour, and you can see if the singer (who just recently scored his first No. 1 on the Christian charts) is coming to a town near you by scanning the tour dates below:
