From revolutionizing women’s eminence in the male-dominated hip-hop world, conquering global charts, and being snubbed off by the Grammys over petty beef to finding love, getting married, and having a kid, Minaj’s mirage of a world is a tale to be told for generations.
Despite being away from the limelight for the last few years, Nicki Minaj remains a name etched into the hip-hop hall of fame. The legion of fans across the globe are waiting for any breadcrumbs they could gather on the “I’m Legit” rapper. And Lo Behold! The queen has bestowed a whole loaf of bread on us.
Nicki Minaj, the reigning queen of hip-hop, is about to drop something huge, and it’s not just her beats. We’re talking about her much-anticipated “Pink Friday 2” world tour.
Picture this: a global stage set for the incomparable Nicki, with cities from Oakland to Amsterdam ready to light up in pink. The anticipation? Palpable. The excitement? Off the charts. But here’s the kicker – getting your hands on those golden tickets. Where do you start? What about those prices that are already burning holes in your pockets? And most importantly, when and where is this all going down?
Keep reading because I’ve got the scoop, and it’s hotter than a summer day in Queens. So, here’s the lowdown.
The official dates for Nicki Minaj’s world tour, Pink Friday 2, start on March 1, 2024, performing across America and Canada, while more dates will be added to the U.K., France, Germany, and The Netherlands.
If you’re a Citi card member (lucky you), presale tickets have been available since December 12, bright and early at 9 a.m. local time. This exclusive window closes on December 14. For the rest of us, general sales kick off on December 15. Prices are hovering around the €76.20 mark, but remember, they vary by city.
You can grab your tickets at the official Live Nation and Ticketmaster websites.
Secondary markets like StubHub and Vivid Seats can be your plan B. Prices there start at a cool $72.50, but as we all know, the early bird gets the worm or, in this case, the cheaper ticket.
