The Davido experience comes at a cost - Chameleone on charging $100 for concert

"People are asking why I'm charging $100 (about Shs380k)," said Chameleone in a video seen by this reporter, "you want to experience things you see at Davido's shows yet you've only paid 20k. You as a fan, pay more so that the artiste can also do better things."

The Valu Valu hitmaker announced his concert in February.

Dubbed 'Legends in Gold: We Love Chameleone', the show is slated for August 31.

Entrance will be $100 ordinary, (Shs 380,000); VIP tickets will go for $300 (Shs. 1.1 million) while a table or VVIP will go for $3000 (Shs 11 million).

Chameleone in a televised interview, defended this pricy show saying it is worth his name and what he has done for the music industry.

“We want this to be a celebration of me and what I have done for the industry,” he told BBS TV.

“ There are people out there who believe that I should be celebrated while I still live…. That night I will celebrate myself as well because the brick I have put on the industry deserves to be celebrated.”

The show, Chameleone says, will be quite unique and worth the entrance fees.

“We are worthy of that and more, and besides, we are trying to bring out a global standard and to give the revelers the very best experience.”
