Kid Rock is listing $5,000 ‘First Class Seats’ for his ‘Freedom 250’ tour

By Alex Rigotti•NME Music News

Earlier this year, Kid Rock testified to Congress about soaring ticket prices: "Fans are paying more than ever – and getting blamed for it" The post Kid Rock is listing $5,000 ‘First Class Seats’ for his ‘Freedom 250’ tour appeared first on NME.

Kid Rock is reportedly listing ‘First Class Seats’ for $5,000 (£3,714) for his upcoming ‘Freedom 250’ tour.

The country star is due to go on tour this May. Kicking off in Dallas, Texas on May 1, Kid Rock is then playing a further nine shows across North America.

Now, he’s released ticket prices for the tour – and according to Ticketmaster, fans will have to pay a hefty sum if they want to see the musician up close.

Those who want to nab front row tickets will have to pay a whopping $5,000 at every date on Kid Rock’s tour. Second row tickets priced at $4,000 a pop, and the pattern continues for $3,000 for third row, $2,000 for fourth row, and $1,000 for fifth row. No added benefits are apparently listed for purchasing tickets for the first five rows.

You can also snag a floor seat for between $200 and $500 depending on how close they are to the stage. Check out any remaining seats here and see below for all remaining dates:

Kid Rock’s ‘Freedom 250’ 2026 tour is:

MAY
01 – Dallas, TX – Dos Equis Pavilion 
08 – Raleigh, NC – Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek 
09 – Charlotte, NC – Truliant Amphitheater 
15 – St. Louis, MO – Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre 
16 – Tinley Park, IL – Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre 
30 – Tampa, FL – MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre 

JUNE
05 – Holmdel, NJ – PNC Bank Arts Center 
06 – Mansfield, MA – Xfinity Center 
19 – Noblesville, IN – Ruoff Music Center 
20 – Burgettstown, PA – The Pavilion at Star Lake 

Kid Rock’s ticket pricing comes as a surprise to fans given his work advocating for independent venues, testifying to Congress earlier this year about the rise of ticket prices.

Beginning his testimony, he said: “I’m here today because I love God, I love this country, I love live music and sports, and I believe music fans and artists have been getting screwed for far too long by the ticketing system.”

He called the Live Nation and Ticketmaster merger an “experiment [that] has failed miserably”, adding: “Independent venues have been crushed. Artists have lost leverage. Fans are paying more than ever – and getting blamed for it”.

Meanwhile, Kid Rock also performed at the ‘All-American Halftime Show’ hosted by Turning Point USA – the non-profit founded by the late Charlie Kirk. The show was staged in protest of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, which was watched by over 120million viewers.

Bad Bunny’s triumphant celebration of Latin music styles at the Halftime Show also saw him bringing out Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Karol G, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin as special guests.

Tom Morello, Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves were just some of the musicians to mock Kid Rock for playing the concert. The musician also faced rumours of lip syncing, to which Kid Rock responded he was simply “out of sync”.
