Before tickets sold out on his website, the general admission tickets were going for just $25.

Prior to the venue change, Anthony took issue with how tickets were priced for the concert. He wrote on his Instagram that once he learned that tickets were going for $90, he asked his fans to hold off on buying tickets.

The concert, which has been moved to the Smokies Stadium, will take place on Thursday, September 28.
