Tina Knowles has sparked discussions within two fan communities after she liked a post on social media that suggested Janet Jackson is selling overpriced tickets for the second leg of her “Together Again” tour. The music icon recently announced a 35-date summer tour with rapper Nelly as her special guest, following the success of her 2023 tour, which became the highest-selling of her career.

Tickets for the upcoming shows went on sale, ranging from $59 to over $1,000, depending on the venue. The VIP packages for some locations are priced between $449.95 and $699.95. This pricing strategy did not sit well with some fans, including Tina Knowles’ friend Letty Chavez, who shared a screenshot of VIP seating options with prices as high as $2,399.95, criticizing the added cost for a brief meet-and-greet.
