PROSPECT HEIGHTS — Can't knock the hustle.

Jay-Z has added three more performances to the Barclays Center opening celebration, bumping the number up to eight shows over the span of nine days, Barclays officials revealed on Thursday.

The announcement comes just one day after Barclays announced a fourth and fifth show for the Brooklyn rapper.

Jay-Z's Sept. 28 concert will be the first event held at the new venue, with shows going almost daily until Oct. 6. Barring any new announcements, he'll get a day of rest on Oct. 2.

Ticket prices for the eight shows have not yet been released, but officials say more than 7,000 seats for each show at the 18,000-seat arena will be available for less than $30.

All eight shows will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.
