Will Smith has been slammed for how much he charges fans for a single photo with him.
The 56-year-old will be touring the UK and is charging fans hundreds for the chance of meeting him and taking a selfie together.
He is scheduled to visit multiple venues, including the O2 Academy in Brixton, south London, Wolverhampton Civic Hall, Cardiff Castle and Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
Tickets for these events range from £61.60 and up but Smith has also offered more expensive VIP tickets, where fans will get to meet and take photos with the star.
The Brixton venue, scheduled for August 28, has offered standing tickets at £60 as well as a ‘Will Smith First Entry Merch Package’ offer costing £228.
This promises an ‘Exclusive Will Smith Merchandise Pack’, a commemorative VIP laminate and an ‘on site VIP host’.
However, in the small print, it notes ‘THIS VIP PACKAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE A MEET & GREET. THERE IS NO ARTIST INVOLVEMENT WITH THIS PACKAGE.’
As an alternative, customers have the option to spend £415 on a ‘Will Smith Group Photo and Soundcheck Experience’ which offers a merchandise pack and a VIP laminate as well as access to a pre-show soundcheck with a ‘Group Photo Opportunity with Will Smith’.
The actor is traveling around the Atlantic to perform songs from his latest album Based On A True Story, his first album in 20 years.
Fans can expect hits like Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It and Miami on the tour which starts on August 24 at Scarborough.
On August 25, fans can be treated to what is being called the ‘Ultimate Will Smith VIP Experience’ for the small fee of £1,290 per person – which comes with a photo opportunity with the star, a guided stage tour, a framed poster and access to watch the pre-show soundcheck.
