Concerts by rapper Ye (Kanye West) scheduled for October in St. Petersburg will not go ahead, event organizer Say Agency said.

Ticket refunds will be available starting October 12, the organizers said. Say Agency promised to release the refund terms and instructions later.

Say Agency said in mid-August that Ye would perform at Gazprom Arena on October 10 and 11. The concerts drew considerable interest, with organizers saying they had sold 100,000 tickets.

Gazprom Arena later said no agreement had been signed to rent the stadium, so the concerts could not go ahead. According to St. Petersburg media reports, the concerts had not received approval from senior officials.

On September 30, media outlets reported that police were investigating Say Agency over possible fraud.
