SEVENTEEN Fans Blast Ticketmaster For Errors Leading To 2024 World Tour Ticket Chaos
Previously, SEVENTEEN announced their highly anticipated October comeback and SEVENTEEN 2024 [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN U.S.

From 3 PM to 10 PM, Wednesday, August 14, 2024 (Local time)— PLEDIS Entertainment
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.
5 stops for the entire usa is actually very ridiculous considering how huge seventeen is , only one east coast stop and all just arenas this is absolutely ridiculous and unfair i hope hybe goes bankrupt https://t.co/OcTrVO4fzu

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.

Watch on TikTok
Many CARATs suffered from Ticketmaster errors. Even when CARATs had obtained their desired seats, Ticketmaster gave them “Application error” messages during payment.
i had my best queue placement ever, got the perfect seats we wanted, and then ticketmaster won’t let me pay count your fucking days pray i get chicago otherwise a curse on your house #SEVENTEEN #SVT_RIGHT_HERE_WORLDTOUR pic.twitter.com/5PO7omCcc7

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.
So Ticketmaster really laughed in our face yesterday not sure about you guys 😭 pic.twitter.com/QTUybDMkLw

Ticketmaster needs to explain why so many people were unable to use their code to enter the waiting room no matter how many times they logged out and logged back in

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.
i hope ticketmaster loses the fucking lawsuit. what’s the point of carat presale if y’all not letting ppl buy tickets

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