He will soon be appearing at Comic Con Midlands along with his family.
However, pricing for a VIP meet and greet with Ozzy has reportedly left fans raging.
The Mirror reports enthusiasts are being charged £666 for the top-level Ultimate Sin VIP package.
This comprises a group photo with Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack – but is restricted to two people per photo, except for under-5s.
Meanwhile, supporters hoping Ozzy will sign their guitar or microphone will have to fork out £750.
This comes to £1,416 altogether, when counting the Ultimate Sin VIP package.
As well as this, the music legend will also sign a book for £225 as well as a album, toy or poster for £375 – for VIP purchasers.
Writing on Facebook, one user commented: “Laughable prices, genuinely laughable.”
Another joked: “Time to start selling me kidney.”
While a third queried: “Do we have to get VIP to meet Ozzy or can we meet him solo?”
To which the events page replied: “You’ll need the VIP package.”
The 76-year-old has reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions after originally leaving in 1979.
On Saturday, he will perform alongside his bandmates for the final time.
Ozzy has had a number health issues over the years which have prevented him going back out on tour.
They will play on home turf – Villa Park in Birmingham – as part of the Back To The Beginning festival.
Along with Ozzy, the show will reunite the original band members – Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – for the first time in 20 years.
Speaking about the final gig, Ozzy candidly said: “I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can. So all I can do is turn up.”
The gig will also feature sets from other huge heavy metal bands, including Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera.
But Ozzy’s poor health means he won’t be able to play a full set.
“We’re only playing a couple of songs each.
“I don’t want people thinking ‘we’re getting ripped off’, because it’s just going to be … what’s the word? … a sample, you’re going to get a few songs each by Ozzy and Sabbath.”
