Abu Mikey:





Money in tha Bank!
All loses goes to Mr. Promoter!

don't 4get other promoters will not call sush artist next time, they call him bad market.

MRbrownJAY:

you must not know how this biz work.......a promoter/venue hires the artist for a show on a particular date, for a set performance fee. that artist has nothing to do with how much the entrance ticket will be or how many people will be in attendance. the artist gets paid his performance fee whether the house is empty or full. the only one who lose (or gain anything) is the promoter/venue. the only one who has anything to do with the seating arrangement is also the promoter/venue.

Yeah, artistes, most often than not, get paid up front...but the truth is, henceforth, promoters will be cautious as to inviting him and paying him that high if his name is gradually losing hold on the public. A show promoter just lost handsomely, others will learn from it...and Wizzy might be affected on the long run. Truly, that's how 9ice's palaver started...I remember him also performing to an almost empty hall years back in Lagos island...

Why spend that much when you can easily download it from youtube

Wetin make mi come open dis rubbish... Nonsense

Sounding so pained. Everyday no be christmas but the truth is 'you are gradually fading out'. You can have a chat with 9ice

idupaul:

That's the height

FreeGlobe: Abuja is not the best place to host shows. Everybody in Abuja is just after the national cake. Its not about ticket prices, even super eagles suffered the same fate before moving to calabar even with tickets made free.

yes but super eagles move to calabar due to insecurity, calabar is only safest city in nigeria for now.

omo see haters... abeg wizkid chop ur money dey go

Gabriel_sylar: mee i will leave my house to go and watch a kid

That "Kid" has his foot prints permanently etched on the sands of history. U are yet to wake up from ur slumber. Hate on!!

what do you expect? With the boko harass thing In the north.

Promoter dey cry, wizkid suffering and smiling... Smiling τ̅☺ the bank, suffering wif his market value.

When we asked them to make Good music they won't, they sing rubbish for the Lagos fans that don't have time to listen to their stupid lyrics in the hustling and bustling of Lagos

Tuface was in Abuja and the crowd was mad,people don't wanna listen to meaningless songs anymore

Even ur kid would blame u in your old age for that
Banky W ur father is making cool songs and making money off you
You are still too young to be singing rubbish better step up your game

Myself2: So it does not matter to his image and public perception that he performed for a near empty audience?

the only thing that will be bruised is his ego......... his image will not be tarnished as EVERYONE WITH A BRAIN knows that the reason this place was empty was due to the high price of the ticket, not because of Wizkid. unless you believe that people who like Wizkid are donkeys and will pay just about any price to see him live? lol! of course not, they will simply wait until an affordable show comes along, et voila!

write2obi:
and after attracting Zero audience you think the promoter will invite WizKid to his next show?, Fanboy just read comments if you have nothing sensible to type

Nigerians are not stoopid, so stop acting like they are. this promoter made a mistake, others will surely LEARN from it and never try to overprice their shows with such artist......... but that will NOT stop promoters from A) working with Wizkid or B) making shows in this venue.

uniqueval:
Either ways itz still bad bizness for him
This clearly shows he is gradually turning into a dry well. The promoter must have overrated the interest of his potential audience. 'Cos left to me, people will still pay such exorbitant amount to see their fav artist perform. #MakeHinGoFindCaro

why do you think it is bad biz for him...it is just another day at the office for him because no matter what happened, he had to perform. this is what this job is all about, whether there are 20000 people or 200. yeah, its better to perform to 20K but if the promter made a mistake then the fault lay on him, not on the artist. Wizkid appeals to a younger crowd, his fanbase are not necessarily wealthy (18 to 25). now if you bring a popular act that appeals to the over 30 crowd (p square/Dbanj) then maybe you will be able to extort such exorbitant price....

slimzey: I tink it still have a lot 2 do with d artist, which promoter would want 2 call d same artist dt gave them bad MKT 2wice. Its still bore down 2 d artist bro. He has no much fans again.

Gelco:
That being said, his market value is going down. How can promoters pay him to do a show if he can't gather crowd?

nijanigga:
Then it's very highly unlikely for any promoter to take risk on whiz kid, so either way, his "patent" is at risk.

let me give you guys an example:
you have the "best" product in the market, you open a shop and try to sell it for 3 times the retail price, nobody buys your product (obviously) and you go bankrupt..... would you actually think that this product is bad?!

only a very stoopid businessman would therefore think that the product is bad, simply because someone overpriced it. any promoter in the game KNOWS FULLY WELL that the tickets were overpriced (is that not the same ABJ they all organise parties?), and therefore they know that the reason that this show failed was because of the greedy promoter, not the artist.

you guys are not making any sense, and really take Nigerians for donkeys. people obviously saw that the price was too much and did not go, like any smart person would.

Wizkid shld be careful cos if he contnues dis way, he may soon start selling off his rides, baffroom slippers even boxers for just survival purposes. That time, all those girls wey dey flock around him, we go know how far.

"http://tindeck.com/users/Little+wonder" holla dis ma tindereck account pls download dis track i ws ft in n hit me on twitter @li21da fanks

no be wizkid the worry abuja people oooo....and its not like pple dont have money o but i just fil abuja big boiz and babes will rada chill at clubs and lounge.bsides dt,d concert wus on sunday,abuja pple r majorly workers,nd dei no dei play wit wikends atall so dei nid to rest aganist monday..also,most pple cnt go nd pay such amount of money to go and watch a small boi perform...dei rada pay dt money to watch premier league.......jt my opinion atlst frm my lil observation since ve bin livin in abj.....

First of all, this crap is so misleading. I mean, where on wizkids tweet suggests or means that he ws referring to d low turned up abj performance?
Nd dudes r here debating nd yapping there hearts out...lol

Afam4eva: I don dey pity the guy. I think next time, he should make it a little bit cheaper. If you noticed there were more people at the back(regular) sit than the front. So, it's obvious it's because of the exorbitant price.

hmmmmm. quick one though, is it the artiste's responsibility to 'fix' concert prices, or is it the promoters?

secondly wizkid's response is coordinated and expected but he has to adopt a risk management approach to ensure this doesn't happen again.

its bad for his brand

he who has ears , should hear.

LemonBoy1: First of all, this crap is so misleading. I mean, where on wizkids tweet suggests or means that he ws referring to d low turned up abj performance?
Nd dudes r here debating nd yapping there hearts out...lol

you read a response to an earlier tweet

why don't you do some investigation and find out?

we are patiently awaiting your verification exercise.

Vivly: I'm sure Abuja is now on his broke states list

Poetic (justice)

he wil stil be affected cos no one,wil want to invite him 4 a show cos his present is no longer needed in naija.

What if it was Olamide that was invited ƒσя the show instead of wizkid? What would have happened?

FreeGlobe: Abuja is not the best place to host shows. Everybody in Abuja is just after the national cake. Its not about ticket prices, even super eagles suffered the same fate before moving to calabar even with tickets made free.
