J. Cole sells $1 tickets to Madison Square Garden show

[@usmanfromdc]

I was there! We waited in line for 6.5 hours in the freezing rain. He gave away 2,014 tickets and i was one of the last ones to get it (there were only 12 tickets left when it was my turn). Only J Cole would be so generous!

[@mariams3209]

That what happen to Me during his 1st Dolla n A DREAM tour YEARS ago when he first blew up. My Best friend n I Literally Grabbed the LAST two tickets At the Door showing up at Perfect Timing after Recieving a TWEET off the Random by Cole that day. We was GEEKD up that Night, I ended my Night nearly sleepin 😴 on the Metro Floor Waiting for the Train thank God I Had my Best friend with me...

Wow. I remember paying like $26 to see him live in 2010 at Highline Ballroom (RIP). I knew I would never see him live again because back then he was on the cusp of really crossing over and becoming an even bigger name. $1 tickets is a great gesture. And make no mistake about it, at least half of that line is resellers.

[@alexeios]

I would imagine he thought about that ahead lmao, probably had some stipulation

[@mdmd6388]

You brought back great memories to my old ass lol I remember seeing him at a Heineken sponsored event in like 2009-2010 somewhere near the Westside Highway NYC. If my recollection serves me correct, I got in for free and was even given free beer and food to the event LMAO. He performed for like 100 people. The fact that I got maybe one photo of it is the tragic part lol.

I remembered Back when he did his DOLLA N a DREAM Tour. He Came to FILLMORE, Silver springs MD. My Best friend n I Pulled up n LITERALLY grabbed the LAST two tickets for Sale at the DOOR. It was SUCH perfect Timing n the FACT it was TWO of them. We went to the Cut Sip Beforehand N there was a Lone Female Sparking Up At the spot who shared with Me her Blunt n Me my Beer. Then We Got in Line For the Females Behind us to Ask to hold thier SPOT for them to go to the liquor Store. They was Jealous My Mans n I Was LIT n wanted to get LIT on our Level Also. So they SHARED thier Bottle with us until we Got in. By the TIME we Made it Inside My Mans N I Was FXCKED up Lol 😂but we was LIVE at the Dolla n A DREAM tour!!! My Best friend Came Out the WAY to met me n Get the TWEET for the LOCATION, it was PERFECT timing, DAY, Folks, INGREDIENTS Party wise, n of course J. Cole For A DOLLA n the LAST two tickets at that.
