Don’t ruin Cardi B’s sold-out streak, Hamilton
The superstar had stern words for her southern Ontario fans
The night after Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama tour hits the Scotiabank Arena later this month, the entertainment icon is set to stop at Hamilton’s new TD Coliseum on her way to more tour dates in the US.
Cardi herself seems to have looked at her ticket sales, however, and she’s not pleased with Hamilton fans.
“Every city for the Little Miss Drama tour is practically sold out…. Except for one city, which is Hamilton, Ontario. It’s like 80 per cent sold out,” she vented on social media this week. “I’m letting you Canadians know, if y’all break my sold out streak…I don’t know what I’m gonna do.... Y’all better buy them tickets.”

The venue’s capacity is 18,000, which should be no problem for Cardi B to sell out.
Some fans online have noted that tickets, like most things these days, are expensive, starting around $90 and going up to almost $500, with VIP packages selling for $890.
“Cardi have you seen Canada’s economy lately?” wrote one commenter. It’s a good point. Gas prices are astronomical right now, but GO trains are reportedly falling apart. Still, if there’s anything worth splurging on, it’s a Cardi B ticket.
