Here’s How Much Ariana Grande Is Being Paid For Headlining Manchester Pride
Well that explains the rise in ticket prices..
Earlier this week, Ariana Grande confirmed she will be headlining the Manchester Pride Festival in August.
Many fans were angry at the rise in ticket prices for the festival after Ariana was announced as headliner, and it kind of makes sense now that we’ve learned how much she’s getting paid for the gig.
The Sun reported that Ariana is being paid £250,000 for her Pride appearance.
The 25-year-old is expected to earn £100,000 more than Kylie Minogue took home for headlining Pride in 2018.
A “music insider” told The Sun: “Obviously they’re [Kylie and Ariana] both massive stars but Ariana is like gold dust at the moment, so the organisers offered her top whack to take part.”
The revelation comes after Ariana responded to angry fans complaining about the Pride ticket prices saying she has “nothing to do with ticket pricing”.
