Despite CARATs’ anticipation, many are disappointed in the tour, which has yet to begin. The tour includes just five stops across the United States: Chicago, IL; Elmont, New York; San Antonio, TX; Oakland, CA; and Los Angeles, CA.

Many feel this is too few locations for a world tour, as the South is omitted. Four out of fifty states is less than 10%, as California is included twice out of the five locations.

While the U.S. is hardly covered, Canadian fans are also disappointed that there are no stops in or near Canada.

Additionally, it’s predominantly an arena tour, which seems unwise considering the few locations and SEVENTEEN’s popularity. Los Angeles, which concludes the tour, is the only stadium location. Yet, it’s also the only location with just one date, despite L.A. being one of the most popular stops.

Just a few days before tickets went on sale, Jeonghan and Jun were announced as absent from the world tour due to their schedules. Jeonghan will fulfill his military obligation starting in the second half of the year, while Jun will pursue his acting career in China.

While tickets officially went on sale on August 15, pre-sale was on the 14. Despite CARATs’ concerns about the members’ absence, locations, dates, etc., getting tickets was still a bloodbath.

It was not just the case that CARATs were fighting thousands upon thousands to obtain tickets, though.

Many CARATs suffered from Ticketmaster errors. Even when CARATs had obtained their desired seats, Ticketmaster gave them “Application error” messages during payment.

Consequently, numerous CARATs lost their tickets, including VIP and great seat locations, due to Ticketmaster’s errors.

Many also got logged out during the event. Again, this resulted in CARATs not getting their tickets.

CARATs are cursing Ticketmaster for making it impossible to get SEVENTEEN tickets. Previously, the U.S. Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster, so netizens hope justice will be obtained.

In May, Ticketmaster was also hacked. Read more below.
