Fans of the late rapper sold out a 21,000 person arena in under half an hour.

When the family of Nipsey Hussle was scouting venues the Staples Center seemed to be the only place large enough in LA to hold the amount of die hard fans planning to show up for the rapper’s home-going. Well, apparently its still not big enough. According to close friend of Nip’s Karen Civil, the free tickets sold out in 20 minutes.

Unfortunately in this tragic time of grieving, some people who were lucky enough to get tickets are reselling them on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

They can’t sell them. They’re non transferable. Don’t get played.

The gag is apparently, that they’re non-transferrable…so in the words of one Twitter user…”don’t get played”! If you weren’t able to get a ticket like many people, don’t worry! You can still be apart of his “Victory Lap” through the streets of all directly after the services. Click HERE for all the info on that.
