The reports that Burna Boy’s show in Johannesburg was postponed in part owing to poor ticket sales have received an answer from the Nigerian superstar.
She cites Lauryn Hill, Burna Boy, and Alicia Keys as influences.
Ticket Pro released a statement saying, “We regret to inform you that the highly anticipated Burna Boy concert, originally scheduled for September 23, 2023, at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, has been postponed to December 16, 2023.”
The statement further explained, “This decision was not taken lightly by the promoter and was made after careful consideration of various factors, including the challenges related to ticket sales.”
Ticket Pro apologized and assured individuals who had already purchased tickets that their tickets would still be good for the new date in December.
Burna Boy quickly shot down allegations that low ticket sales were the reason for the postponement, though.
He responded on his Instagram story, stating,
“I was in SA last year, and I had 100 thousand beautiful South Africans waiting outside for me, so no dead agenda can Agend. I will see you real soon, South Africa. I love you.”
Just four days before Burna Boy was scheduled to play at FNB Stadium, the performance was postponed.
According to sources, the Orlando Pirates offered the first 250 persons who purchased season tickets for Pirates’ home games complimentary Burna Boy concert tickets last month in an effort to enhance stadium attendance and ticket sales for the Burna Boy event.
