Sold out: Tickets for T-Pain show in Tallahassee gone, building excitement for November
Tallahassee is showing it's ready to welcome back T-Pain by selling out all 3,010 concert tickets available in two days.
Recently, local officials and T-Pain, a Tallahassee native, took to social media to share the news that the artist would be coming to the Adderley Amphitheater in Cascades Park on Nov. 10 as part of the county's bicentennial celebration.
Tickets were first come, first serve as they went on sale July 19, with three tiers being available to concert goers. Prices started at $63 for general admission, $87 for P2 reserved seating, and $99 for P1 reserved seating.
According to county spokeswoman Kianna Gilley, each ticket available on the amphitheater's website is gone and there will be no extra tickets to come. She did note that there was a pattern in ticket buying, with purchasers getting anywhere from two to six tickets, the maximum number allowed.
With tickets being gone it opens up the possibility of tickets being resold to what is now Tallahassee's premier event. Gilley said ticket holders may resell their tickets if they choose by using online resale platforms such as StubHub and others. The price of resale tickets remains to be seen.
T-pain may receive hometown tribute
Last time T-Pain was set to come to Tallahassee for the "50 Years of Hip Hop Celebration" concert, he was promised the renaming of the road he grew up on, Ridge Road, to T-Pain Way. That, however, was delayed amid bureaucratic hoops.
According to previous reporting by the Tallahassee Democrat, City Commissioner Dianne Williams-Cox said the city made it easier for to rename roads, pointing to the recent city ordinance that came about in the name change of Wahnish Way to Althea Gibson Way.
"Our staff is working on finalizing the process to make sure that we get that done," she said of the T-Pain street renaming. "It is going to happen." City spokeswoman Alison Faris did not respond to several calls and text messages this week for any further information related to the street renaming.
