It's time to take Oliver Anthony seriously when he says he's not in it for the money. He canceled his show at Cotton Eyed Joe in Knoxville, Tennessee when he found out tickets were $99, with meet and greets at $199.
He posted a video telling his fans to NOT buy those tickets. He said he had no idea they cost so much, and wants all of his tickets to be in the $20 to $40 range. He blamed it on miscommunication with a friend who's been booking his shows.
In a follow-up video he apologized to his fans for canceling, and promised to be more involved in future bookings. He also wrote that all upcoming tickets will be $25, although that doesn't include shows he's already booked.
Meanwhile, Cotton Eyed Joe had a few things to get off their chest. They hit up Facebook saying they agreed to pay Oliver $120,000, which was a break-even amount considering the costs it takes to put on a show.
And they threw a little shade with this comment: Quote, "To our talent agency and promoter friends that follow us . . . be careful booking the North Man of Richmond."
