Although they put up a stellar performance, there was one particular thing that became a hot topic online. A video depicting the view from one of the VIP seats went viral on YouTube.
Although the seat costs around ₩200,000 KRW (about $145 USD) and is the highest priced ticket in the arena, one can barely see the girls.
At some points in time, the audience member could not see some members at all.
The poor vision was a result of bad stage planning. Although a higher stage is important for those in seats closer to the back, too high a stage can obstruct the vision of those in front.
Netizens demanded for refunds to be issued.
- A thuggish company.
- There’s so many instances where the vision at idol concerts are crap, but the seats are VIP.
- They have to refund that.
- Didn’t they check it in advance?
- Even if they are restricted seats, the singers should be visible. What’s up with that?
- Wow, this is crazy. They ought to refund them in full. Is this even possible? You can’t even see the show, so why are they accepting money?
- This is too much…
- The organizers should try sitting at the seats before deciding on the prices, rather than doing things so carelessly like this. Are fans fools?
What do you think?
