As fun loving Lagosians gear up for the first leg of Zero Gravity concert billed for October 2, 2016, at the Landmark Events Center, Oniru, Lagos, organisers have suspended ticket sales for the gig. The decision, according to composite e-commerce company, Yudala, initiator of the music project, was taken as a result of the huge rush witnessed for the tickets by interested Nigerians eager to participate in the much-anticipated concert featuring some of Nigeria’s finest artistes.

According to Gideon Ayogu, Head, Corporate Communications at Yudala, it was a difficult one to take, considering the rush by Nigerians to purchase tickets for the concert. He, however, disclosed that the company’s management had no choice than to suspend ticket sales in order to accommodate customers, who are buying products and services from them.

“We assured our customers who purchased products from Yudala Online or any of our Experience Stores nationwide from August 1st 2016 that we would guarantee them free entry into any of our concerts nationwide. As a responsible e-commerce company that keeps its word, we do not want to collect cash now and abandon these loyal customers.

“Yudala is one and within a space of just 12 months, we have broken all existing records in the e-commerce sector and set new standards and milestones such as the first drone delivery in the e-commerce world, launch of same day delivery on a nationwide scale, among many others.

These achievements, he noted, “would have been impossible without our customers, so we are using the Yudala Zero Gravity concerts as a prime avenue to say thank you to and bond more closely with our customers,” he enthused.

While noting that customers, who purchase high-value products also stand a chance of being upgraded to VIP or VVIP, Ayogu advised potential attendees looking for tickets to use same money and buy any product of their choice online or from any Yudala Experience Store nationwide which guarantees them a better chance of attending the concert.

“A number of A-list artistes have already been confirmed for Yudala Zero Gravity concerts in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu. The list includes Olamide, Iyanya, Phyno, Zorro, Flavour, Humble Smith, Naeto C, Cynthia Morgan, David Grey, Ali Baba, Akpororo and many more. Also, a number of premium corporate organizations such as Access Bank, Airtel, Stanbic Bank, HP, Lenovo, InnJoo Mobile and a host of media partners, among others are on board as partners. We also expect to tie up a few more partnerships in the days ahead,” he said.

Yudala Zero Gravity is powered as a mega three-city dual concert featuring the best artistes in contemporary Nigerian hip-hop and rock gospel artistes, who will use the platform to launch their new hit tracks. Loads of surprises and other side attractions are in store from Yudala and New Concept Media Group (NCMG) at this inaugural edition of Yudala Zero Gravity.
