Netizens quickly criticized HYBE for unreal costs which, combined with dynamic pricing, meant many were over five times the price of tickets to Seoul. Many said it was unreal to have such high prices during a time when there was a cost of living crisis, and many shared that prices were over $1,000 for some tickets.
I hope the ticket prices are almost ONE THOUSAND USD???? that’s crazy because they cost almost 5 times the amount of the Seoul concert tickets, you are HORRIBLE

Do I need to remind you that the boycott hasn’t stopped?? that hybe still works with the scooter that is funding a genocide??? they sold VIP tickets for 200$ to Korean fans and international fans got them for 2k, they don’t care about you idiots

$613 isn’t nice, it’s a fucking rip off. Working class people, in this world, in the economy that is killing people, can’t afford that. It’s a fucking joke. Give all your money to the Zionist meeting that is hybe and they laugh at you until 613.

if they tried to sell Kfans tickets at these prices they would have a guillotine inside Hybe within the day

They probably haven’t had many dates in Europe recently, because they can’t use dynamic pricing or get away with pricing tickets at $1000, yeah

Netizens also criticized HYBE for “underestimating” J-Hope and his popularity by choosing to book arenas rather than stadiums, leading thousands of people to miss out on the opportunity to see the idol perform live.
okay but hybe is stupid as hell to book arenas in the first place like you should have learned from mots tour and yoongi tour that the demand would be high but y’all duck to the 19k capacity arenas for WHAT reason

Almost 100,000 people queuing for 19,000 tickets for Hobi’s concert is absolutely crazy… hybe really needs to stop underestimating bts as soloists and give them stadiums 😟 pic.twitter.com/tCzjM2buRm

HYBE has been criticized in the past for its use of dynamic pricing and high costs, and it appears that this continues to be an issue.
