Shimza advocates higher ticket prices in South Africa

Shimza whose real name is Ashley Raphala speaks about the need for event organisers to provide more to festival-goers. The DJ has been touring different international countries over the years, and his experience made him realise that festival goers in SA are not given the best treatment at gigs.

However, he suggested that the ticket prices should get a bit costly in other to achieve such "The more you travel the more you understand that as event promoters in SA, we have to offer more to festival-goers than just the line up and we hope festival goers can understand the value they can get with a bit of a higher ticket price", he wrote.

Shimza's debate didn't end well for him as some social media users claim he is fighting for his benefit and not the festival-goers. He was slammed for advocating higher prices for tickets.
