He’s a man of the people. This past weekend, Post Malone was in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl to perform at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture for the “Bud Light Presents Post Malone & Buddies” show. It was a free concert, sponsored by Bud Light, which is a brand he has worked with a lot, and in fact, Posty starred in a Super Bowl commercial this year alongside Shane Gillis and Peyton Manning. But according to the San Francisco Chronicle, during the show, Post called out Bud Light for the beer prices during this concert. He first made a comment about how much he wished his Dallas Cowboys were playing in the big game this year, and he told everyone who was there that was a Cowboys fan they would get free beer because he deeply sympathized with them: “I know everyone in this room is pretty heartbroken because the Dallas Cowboys will not be playing. Raise your hands if you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan. Y’all get free beers the rest of the night.” It sounds like most people thought that was just an off-handed comment or joke, but after a fan in the crowd informed him that Bud Light wasn’t offering free drinks at the free show, Posty was shocked to learn how much they actually cost… a cool $14 for a cheap beer. It’s honestly a pretty standard price for a sporting event or concert these days, especially in California I would guess, but obviously it’s been a long time since Post has had to buy beer in a setting like that, and he wasn’t having it. He called it “unacceptable at a Bud Light show,” and told the entire crowd he would cover half the tab for the entire night, making beers $7 each: “I had had some young man over on this side tell me that the beers were not free. $14 for a beer? … That’s absolutely unacceptable at a Bud Light show. Ladies and gentlemen, I will cover half of the tab for the entire night. So, therefore, beers will only be $7.” He then bumped the price down to $5: “Actually, beers are $5, and I’ll cover the rest.” After thinking about it more, he ultimately dropped the price to $3, joking that it was only for Cowboys fans, but he assured the crowd it was “genuine” and he was actually going to cover most of the tab. Plenty of fans tried to take advantage, but bartenders did not comply, and so they had to continue to pay the outrages prices for a Bud Light. Post of course ran through hits like “I Had Some Help,” and many others, and he also brought out several surprise guests in T-Pain and Quavo, putting on what I’m sure was a great show because he really is one of the best live performers in mainstream music with such a wide variety of songs. It’s unfortunate that his gesture wasn’t honored, because I definitely believe him when he says he genuinely wanted to do it for his fans, but I’m not sure how that works though I’m sure the venue wasn’t going to chance it and we’re going to make their money either way. Maybe next time he’ll ask about it beforehand, because it was a really kind offer and he’s always come across as very authentic in terms of his kindness. He’s also right, beer and alcohol prices are out of hand, as are concert tickets these days, but many artists have tried to take all of that on to no avail. It’s a losing battle at this point, unfortunately… Post is gearing up to embark on a 2026 stadium tour that kicks off in May, in addition to hinting late last year that he has TWO new albums he’s hoping to drop this year.
