SM Entertainment Group Holds Free Ticket Deal, Alleged Low Ticket Sales To Blame
RIIZE‘s recent update about tickets for their tour has gained attention.
RIIZE are scheduled to begin the American leg of their world tour, RIIZING Loud, at the end of October.
The group’s ticket sales have already been a point of discussion, as initial sales were less than netizens expected. Still, many felt that because the tour was not until the fall, ticket sales would not increase until then, as there have been many groups touring in the country.

However, on September 22, a promoter for the tour announced that there would be a special promotion for tickets, allowing fans to buy two and get two for free. The promo was scheduled to last until September 26, and was said to be to celebrate the group’s anniversary.

While many were excited for the promotion allowing them to invite friends along, many felt that it was an indicator of how “bad” ticket sales were.
Looking at some of the cities listed, several still have a significant number of tickets available, including the Atlanta and San Francisco dates.
Many have commented about the sale, questioning if conditions are that “bad” for the group’s tour, giving what happened with former member Seunghan’s removal as a possible reason why.
