CultureOrganizers say over 100,000 bought tickets to Kanye West show; stadium says it never agreed to host it
Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg says it never signed a rental agreement for Kanye West’s planned concerts, so the shows cannot take place there. Organizer Say Agency says the concerts will go ahead and plans to sign a contract on August 27. Organizers reported selling more than 100,000 tickets, while sources said authorities had not approved the events and they were canceled after “a call from above” in Moscow.
