CeeLo Green will visit several notable U.S. cities this upcoming March along his Love Train Tour, and the former judge of NBC's The Voice is paying tribute to his favorite artists along the way. The 41-year-old Atlanta native announced a short run that will kick off on March 1 in Washington D.C. at Howard Theatre and run until March 12 at Amos Southern in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tour will hit historic, southern cities in intimate venues as a way to honor artists who have inspired Green, including Duke Ellington, B.B. King and Billie Holiday, according to a report from The Source. Because it is a limited run, ticket prices for the tour have jumped on the secondary market.

The Love Train Tour marks Green's first tour since 2014.

The average secondary market price for tickets was $148 for the entirety of the run, according to the TiqIQ database. The most expensive stop was played in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Events Center, where tickets averaged $244 and the get-in price was $65.
Green hits the road in support of Heart Blanche, his fifth studio album released in November and first official release since 2012's Christmas album, Cee Lo's Magic Moment.
