CultureYe sells 100,000 tickets to two St. Petersburg shows as Russian lawmaker demands ‘moral support’ for war
Ye, also known as Kanye West, is scheduled to perform at St. Petersburg’s Gazprom Arena on October 10 and 11. Organizers say more than 100,000 tickets sold in the first two days. Russian lawmakers and the public are debating the visit, while one deputy has threatened to seek cancellation unless Ye declares “moral support” for the Kremlin’s so-called special military operation in Ukraine. Other officials have suggested a Putin meeting or collaborations with Russian performers.
