In a bold move that will unsettle the concert industry, Kid Rock announces a $20 price for seats in every section on his summer tour, including shows Aug. 9-11 at DTE Energy Music Theatre.
Brian McCollum of the Free Press says Rock has partnered with Walmart to sell tickets for $20 flat, although seats purchased through Ticketmaster will have standard additional fees — a $5 service charge and $3 parking fee in the case of the DTE shows.
“No hidden fees, no gimmicks,” Rock says of the 27-city tour, which will kick off June 28 in Bristow, Va. Tickets for the three DTE shows will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday.
ZZ Top will open shows on part of the tour, including DTE. Uncle Kracker is an opener on all dates except DTE, and will be joined in the tour's early stretch by Kool & the Gang.
