Organizers of the concert by rapper YE (Kanye West) in Almaty have moved up the start of the main ticket sale to an earlier date — tickets are now available from July 22 at 12:00 PM, instead of a day later as originally planned, reports infohub.kz.

The decision was made due to high demand: during the presale, 50% of all tickets were sold out in just seven hours. To give more fans a chance to buy tickets, the main sale was opened earlier.

All remaining ticket categories will be available for purchase, including for holders of international bank cards.

The organizers warn that tickets can only be purchased officially through the Freedom SuperApp and the Ticketon.kz website. After payment, the buyer receives a voucher, which will be automatically replaced with an electronic ticket with a QR code on August 13. Until that date, no one has actual tickets, and vouchers cannot be transferred to another person. The organizers urged fans not to buy tickets from scalpers and not to trust offers on third-party platforms.

If a voucher holder decides not to attend, the ticket can only be resold officially through the Fan2Fan service on the Freedom Afisha platform. In that case, the original voucher is canceled and a new one is issued to the buyer for the same seats. The new owner will receive the electronic ticket with a QR code on August 13.
