Fans paid up to 160,000 rubles for Kanye West’s October concerts in Russia. Many are now asking how they can get a refund.

The concert promoter, Say Agency, announced that the rapper Ye, also known as Kanye West, would perform on October 10 and 11 at Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg, a venue that seats about 80,000 people.

Ticket sales opened on the website yerussia2026.ru, where seats ranged from 9,000 to 160,000 rubles.

The cheapest sold out within hours.

Mash, a Telegram channel with ties to Russia’s security services, cited sources who said the contract with the rapper had already been signed and that payment for his Russian performance had been transferred.
