Stage construction for Ye and Drake’s much anticipated upcoming Free Larry Hoover Concert has already started. Aerial footage of the stage was captured by CBS Los Angeles on Sunday, December 5. Reporter John Schreiber tweeted video footage of the construction and joked about the setup, saying “At first, [I] thought this was a monster truck rally setup.” It is in the very early stages and seems to have a dome-shaped design that takes up half of the field. It looks similar to the stage layout Ye had for his Donda event in Chicago earlier this year. See the footage below.
Massive build out tonight for the Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Drake concert set for Dec. 9th at the LA Coliseum . Looks like a circular mound is being built with sand and concrete or stucco. At first, thought this was a monster truck rally setup. @CBSLA #Ye #Drake #KanyeWest pic.twitter.com/Z56DrbTcY5

The concert will take place this Thursday, December 9 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, Calif. Tickets are still available for fans to purchase on Ticketmaster.
Ticket Prices Have Gone Down
Fans are not upset at the fact that tickets for the concert are now half of what they initially paid when they went on sale. When the show was announced, tickets disappointingly started at $200 plus fees. As of today (December 6), tickets are now starting at $50, plus fees. Fans have tweeted their frustrations regarding this, hoping for a difference of what it cost them or to be upgraded.
@Ticketmaster I end up paying double the price for @kanyewest @Drake free Larry Hoover concert on the day of release and the resale tickets prices are cheaper for better seats this is ridiculous !!!! I need my refund or upgrade!!!

As per Ticketmaster’s guidelines, the best option is to pay for another seat that is greater or equal value to the originally priced ticket. Afterwards, Ticketmaster will email them about the new ticket and then refund the original ticket purchased.
Larry Hoover Jr. Speaks Out
Larry Hoover’s son recently spoke about the benefit concert. In an interview with “The Murder Master Music Show,” Hoover Jr. said, “We gotta let the powers that be know that we want Larry Hoover in our community.” He continued to say “That’s gonna be a big way to do it. Plus we want to show people of other communities that we can come together in peace.” Ye was going to do the show on his own, but ended up requesting Drake to join him.
Ye and Drake Squash Beef
According to HipHopDX, Ye and Drizzy ended their feud in November after meeting up at Drake’s Toronto mansion. The meet-up was done by Rap-A-Lot Records CEO J. Prince. Shortly after, Ye performed Drake’s “God’s Plan” as a part of his Sunday Service.
