By the way, this is the location, so I don’t know if they’ll try to add things elsewhere, but since the stage is in an enclosed space and there’s no floor access for seated tickets… photo.twitter.com/qiFhWExLv7

As a result, despite the phenomenal lineup of artists, tickets for the festival have not yet been sold and Internet users fear that it may be canceled.
See what happens when you try to exploit fans and do false advertising while using a couple of semi-known artists and a successful K-pop group to sell tickets to an unorganized festival?? Waterbomb you did it to yourself. With better organization and pricing this festival would have been sold out 🤷🏾♀️ photo.twitter.com/8FPPYLlsdh
