Bill Graham has a capacity of 8,500, but there are no more US tour dates on his calendar after the October 23 show here. Lil Nas X is playing the 6,000-person-capacity YouTube Theater in Inglewood a few nights before coming to SF, and a second show could end up added there.
While $399 per ticket seems crazy, the fans who can't afford that should just give this a few more hours and keep up with the tweets to see if a second date gets added. In perhaps a more sincere sentiment, Lil Nas X also tweeted earlier this week, "all of u better come or i will cry on instagram live." do ur job!"

Using the persona of Montero, the singer and young gay icon put out a teaser trailer for the " Long Live Montero Tour," in which he cheekily says, "My world. A second New York date at Radio City Music Hall was added Thursday after tickets went on sale, and the Bill Graham Auditorium show in SF on October 23 is already on "platinum" on Ticketmaster, which means they've upped the ticket price to $399 "based on demand." Regular sales just began at 10 a.m. Lil Nas X released the dates for his first-ever world tour this week, and it of course includes a stop in the Bay Area - and a second date could always be added based on demand. Lil Nas X, who will no doubt go down in music history for his bombastic style and unapologetically over-the-top image as America's first very very openly gay hip-hop star, is finally coming to the LGBTQ capital, San Francisco.
