KELLY Clarkson has faced backlash for charging $2k for tickets to her Hard Rock shows in Atlantic City.
The Kelly Clarkson Show host previously revealed that she would finally be returning to the stage in May for a two-night run in New Jersey.
But fans have slammed Kelly, 41, for what they called “ridiculously priced” tickets to her shows at the Hard Rock.
The reality star posted a teaser for the event on her Instagram profile Monday with two separate photos from previous performances.
In the first image, the singer belted out her lyrics into a microphone on center stage.
She showed off her figure in a skintight black catsuit with sexy cutouts while her band jammed behind her.
In the second, Kelly wore a similar black outfit, but this time paired with flared pants and a blazer jacket.
The American Idol alum’s hair was tied up into a ponytail as cameras caught her mid-song.
The mother of two captioned the post, “In less than 2 months we’re bringing the party to Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City May 10 & 11 Ticket link in bio.”
FAN BACKLASH
But fans were not pleased with one detail regarding the forthcoming concert – the price.
Several noticed that tickets cost upwards of $2k per person, causing outrage in the comments section of her post.
“Why are they $$$$$$$$,” one asked with a sad face emoji, garnering over 30 likes in agreement.
“Came here to say this!!! was so excited then looked up tickets…” a second noted.
“Wanted to go, but tix are a little out of reach…” a third complained.
“They are super expensive,” a fourth put shortly.
“We wanted to go, but the prices are beyond our budget plus I am still jobless . I know the show will be awesome!” a fifth remarked.
“Up to 2100 dollars!! You kidding me! Wow. No wonder they’re billionaires!!” another slammed.
BACK ON STAGE
Back in January, Kelly first revealed that she is set to return to the stage for a set of special shows at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The singer took to her Instagram profile to share the news with her 7.4 million followers.
The TV personality posted a press photo of herself wearing a plunging black top with layered jewelry.
Kelly had on full glam makeup with grungey black eyeliner and her long caramel hair styled into a blowout.
She captioned her post, “Just announced! I’m coming to Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City for 2 nights on May 10 & 11. Tickets on sale Friday!”
FAN COMPLAINTS
Many fans were thrilled by the news, but others noted that even the first-release ticket prices were quite steep.
“Queen why are tickets like $400,” one asked.
“Why so expensive?! I’m stuck at seeing Kelly live 19 times- was supposed to see her for the 20th time during the invincible residency which obviously didn’t happen…..hoping prices come down,” a second wondered.
“I would love to see Kelly. I voted for her all the way. The tickets are really expensive. I can’t be in the sun or rays and not sure if this place is covered or not,” a third wrote.
“Lots of people talking about the prices. I guess we weren’t the only ones disappointed!” a fourth noted.
“Queen the prices are scaring me,” a fifth claimed.
“Is this a big production to justify the costs? Need to win a jackpot before the show to break even lol. Awesome to see you doing shows tho!” a final remarked.
