“Yes! this musical battle will be our first of many and because we love what we do as DJs the entrance fee for this one in a million musical contest is just ten thousand Leones-(Le 10,000) per person, he replied when asked about ticket price for their maiden event which currently remains the most talked off event in the Northern Region.
