Chance took to Twitter this week to announce that he had taken floor-seat tickets back from scalpers and made the tickets available on his website for $45 or $75 - much cheaper sums than the exorbitant prices listed on resale sites.
Today, the tickets are once again sold out, but Chance has taken to Twitter to proudly reveal that he purchased nearly two thousand tickets to the festival from scalpers.

The "Magnificent Coloring Day" festival, which Chance bills as the "first ever music festival at U.S. Cellular Field on Chicago's Southside," features headlining acts like John Legend, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, and Chance himself.
