Nii Noi, a Ghanaian music executive, has initiated a discussion about the challenges gospel musicians face in making a living from their talent compared to their secular colleagues. On Onua Showtime, he revealed that many gospel performers offer free shows because it’s often hard for them to draw paying audiences. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

He contrasted this with secular artists whose fans are ready to spend as much as GH¢1,000 for their shows, saying that a gospel concert with a GH¢500 ticket would likely result in low attendance. According to him, even GH¢200 is a stretch for many gospel lovers, which is why free entry becomes the more viable option. He added that free gospel events often end up raising more funds through donations during the event than they could through ticket sales.
