On July 5, Blackpink He kicked off their “EXPIRATION” World Tour at the Goyang Sports Complex in South Korea, marking the first complete concert of the group in almost two years. While fans were impatiently anticipating the long -awaited show, some ticket holders expressed frustration for poor visibility, despite having paid relatively expensive tickets.
Fans who bought tickets in section N3, at the price of 132,000 krw (about 97 USD), found themselves unable to fully enjoy the concert due to a screen that blocked their view on stage. This section has been marketed as an unborn seat, differentiating it from cheaper places listed as a “limited view” for 99,000 krw (about 72 USD). However, the installation of a big screen in front of the section has made it impossible for concerts to see the performance.
A fan, identified as a one, published their experience on social media, saying, “I paid for a 132,000 krw ticket in the N3 section at the Goyang sports complex and I could not see anything. They said that the view could be blocked because of the structures, but the stage was completely blocked. It was not even a limited place, but a normal ticket. I was so angry. The fireworks and the drones were completely blocked and I could barely see anything!” The post quickly gained traction, obtaining almost 120,000 views and over 700 retweets.
Another fan, B, echoed to the feelings of A, saying, “Where can I report this? I was so frustrated that I could not focus on the concert. I had reserved a place in the second row, but in the end it was a complete waste. The view was completely obstructed.” The fans were also upset by the local response to the complaints, with a comment, “I didn’t come and watch a movie, I came to see Blackpink! I couldn’t even see the edge of their clothes. When I complained, they continued to repeat that it was “clearly explained in advance”.
Others joined the conversation with similar complaints, leaving comments like, “I was in N11, and as soon as I entered, I saw the screen and I thought:” What was this configuration? “” AND “I was in the seventh row of N3, and it was so absurd. I had no idea that there would be an obstruction, and now I wonder where I can present a complaint.”
Despite these frustrations, Blackpink‘S “EXPIRATION” The world tour continues to attract a lot of attention because it travels in 16 cities all over the world, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, ​​London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong, with 31 concerts all over the world.
