Jay-Z, Kanye West tickets selling at a third of face value

Tickets for Jay-Z and Kanye West's upcoming UK shows are selling for less than face value online.

Despite a huge demand for the tickets when they first went on general sale earlier this year, secondary ticketing sites have reported passes going for a third of their original price.

Online marketplace viagogo has revealed that tickets to the Watch The Throne gigs are selling for as little as 19.99.

"This is a rare chance to see two of the world's biggest stars touring together for the first time at a bargain price," said Edward Parkinson, viagogo spokesperson.

"Hip hop fans may have 99 problems, but, if they act fast, a ticket definitely ain't one!"

The UK leg of Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne world tour begins tomorrow night (May 18) at London's O2 Arena.
