• Celebrated dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel announced his first show after being released from prison
• The show, scheduled for December will be held at the national stadium in Jamaica
• The show's ticket prices caused quite a buzz online, with fans saying they would do anything to attend

Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel has announced the ticket prices for his first show ever since coming out of prison.

When was Vybz Kartel released?

The Without Money hitmaker was recently released from prison alongside his three co-defendants.

In a unanimous decision on Wednesday, July 31, the court ruled against Kartel's retrial over the murder of Clive Williams, whose remains were never found.

Kartel was arrested in 2011, before his 2014 conviction, but he appealed the ruling.

In the ruling, the court said that there was sufficient evidence to suggest that Kartel would not be able to complete a potentially longer sentence if there were to be a retrial, citing his deteriorating health.

A video doing rounds online showed Kartel walking out of jail dressed in white, alongside his wife.

When will Vybz Kartel hold first show?

Soon after his release, fans across the world, including Kenya demanded that he holds a show.

However, Kartel took his sweet time before finally announcing his comeback show on December 31.

The show, dubbed Freedom Street, will be held at the national stadium in Kingston.

Photos of the set up showed that the stage will be in the middle of the fans distributed out based on their tickets.

The cheapest ticket is KSh 16,000 while the most expensive goes for KSh 1.3 million.

The most expensive ticket feature Cycle Track pods, located parallel to the running track. The fans will have designated ease of entry and exit into the venue.

It has eight tickets and six premium bottles, a hostess and security. Kenyans had this to say about the ticket prices:

“And guess what, people will still show up. I swear poverty is bad.”

“Can I sell my kidney?”

“Will he manage perform energetically?”

Why is Vybz Kartel's face swollen?

In other news, some fans speculated that the person released was not the much-loved artiste.

Kartel's swollen face and bulging eyes were caused by Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder.

TUKO.co.ke previously delved into the causes and treatment of the illness.
