BTS Reportedly To Hold 65 Concerts Next Year, Triggers Backlash Online
However, there have been some issues with these tours, including low ticket sales, which have sparked debates about the cause.
For example, RIIZE recently cancelled their concert in Atlanta, with the decision being attributed to low ticket sales. Currently, the group is set to kick off the US tour in Chicago on October 30(the date this was written), with a number of tickets still remaining just hours before it is set to begin.
The same can be said about Red Velvet’s Wendy, who also cancelled the Atlanta date of her tour. The October 30th date of her tour still has many seats open, with some considered the best in the venue open.
These facts, including the cancellation of tours recently, were discussed in a TikTok, where netizens chimed in their thoughts. Many blamed a lack of promotion, while others felt that the pricing was too expensive and company’s refusal to lower prices over having empty seats.
Overall, many felt that concerts, including those outside of the US, were too expensive for what was being offered.
