Kid Rock Lashes Out at 'Fake Liberal Media' Over Reports of $5,000 Concert Seats

Using language often favored by his golfing pal, President Donald Trump, Michigan native Kid Rock this past week attacked the "fake liberal media" for not reporting the "full story" about him charging $5,000 for front-row seats at his upcoming "Freedom 250 Tour."

Kid Rock, aka Robert Ritchie, explained that there are only four seats in the front row of his concerts priced at $5,000.

He said on X that there are only four tickets per row for rows 1–5, with second-row seats going for $4,000, third row for $3,000, fourth row for $2,000, and fifth row for $1,000.

"But instead of reporting facts or that lawn seats are only 50 bucks, or how we are cutting out the scalpers, they twist it for headlines/clicks and to attack me — nothing new here," he said, concluding:

"I WILL pray for them, but I know that sooner or later God will cut ‘em down."

The 10-stop tour begins May 1 in Dallas and finishes in Burgettstown, Pa., on June 20. The tour includes Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Brantley Gilbert and Big & Rich as special guests.

None of the stops include his home state of Michigan.
