Jelly Roll has made a promise to his fandom, The Bad Apples. 

The genre-bending artist, known for his chart-topping tracks "Son of a Sinner" and "Need A Favor," is gearing up to hit the road on his Beautifully Broken Tour. Jelly Roll is scheduled to kick off the highly anticipated run on August 27 in Salt Lake City and will wrap on October 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He will hit 37 cities, including major stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more. Country newcomers Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay will join Jelly Roll as supporting acts. 

In response to the overwhelming demand and inquiries from fans, Jelly Roll took to social media over the weekend (Feb.24) to clarify the ticket-purchasing process. Pre-sale tickets will be available on February 27 at 10 a.m. local time. The general sale is set to commence on March 1 exclusively on JellyRoll615.com.

The artist emphasized the importance of purchasing tickets through official channels, cautioning fans against third-party resellers who offer tickets at inflated prices before they are officially released. Fans must go through his official website to get the pre-sale code. 

"Hey y'all! I've seen a lot of comments and messages about tickets for the Beautifully Broken Tour— I want to take a moment to give y'all the facts as I know them to be," Jelly Roll wrote on Facebook. "Some people have said they already purchased tickets from websites like Stubhub and other 3rd party ticketing websites. If you did, you purchased tickets that haven't been released yet and paid way more than you could've gotten them for at pre-sale," he added. 

Jelly Roll's dedication to his fanbase shines through his commitment to keeping concert experiences affordable and accessible. Starting at $39.50, ticket prices are set to ensure that as many fans as possible can enjoy his live performances without breaking the bank. 

"I want to keep prices affordable, and I want y'all to come enjoy a Jelly Roll show, whether it's your first time or 100th time— thank y'all," he said. "I know what you go through to get the tickets, a baby sitter, a ride to the venue, pay for parking, get a hotel room, buy merch— it all adds up and it's not always easy. I see you and appreciate y'all, I will always keep tickets affordable for my fans." 

He continued to address the concerns over exorbitant ticket prices on resale platforms. 

"I want y'all to know I'm not charging $3,500 per ticket for floor seats," stressed the hitmaker. "It's the scalpers and 3rd party resellers. The only way to truly stop this is to not buy the tickets from those websites." 

As the "Beautifully Broken" tour approaches, Jelly Roll's dedication to his fans and his efforts to ensure fair ticket prices highlight his genuine connection with his audience. His fandom flocked to the comments to praise the singer-songwriter for his act of kindness. 

"Thank you for keeping your tickets affordable! It's one of the many reasons I'm a fan. See you on tour," wrote a follower. "You don't know how much as a fan I appreciate this post. Thanks for keeping it 100. Love your work," added another. 

The struggle between fans, artists, and third-party ticket vendors, especially with companies like Ticketmaster, underscores a significant problem in live event accessibility and affordability. Fans often face high fees and inflated resale prices, while artists struggle to keep their live shows accessible due to the constraints of ticketing systems and agreements.

Some artists have taken innovative steps to bypass traditional ticketing models. They've remained independent, started their own indie labels, or directly sold concert tickets at low prices to ensure their events are more accessible to fans. Others, like Zach Bryan, have publicly challenged major ticket vendors by naming albums to express their frustration, such as All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster. 

These efforts signify a push towards more equitable and fan-friendly practices in the music industry – aiming to make live music experiences more accessible and to give artists greater control over ticket sales and pricing. Where do you stand in this situation? Let us know your Fan Of View below.
