ATEEZ Concert-Goers Call Out Venue For Negligence And Unprofessionalism
Content Warning
ATEEZ are currently on their 2024 ATEEZ WORLD TOUR [TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER] IN NORTH AMERICA.
Last week, ATEEZ performed two concerts in Duluth, GA, on July 30 and 31. ATINYs are sharing their horrible experiences at the venue Gas South Arena.
Many ATINYs revealed that it was incredibly unorganized on both days, with staff not on the same page. Some ATINYs even resorted to fanmade lines due to the staff’s lack of organization.
also+ the fact that security joked about kicking people if they started running? the only good thing they did was move people under the trees for shade for the merch line

Some concert-goers became unwell because it was hot and humid and they had been outside for so long. One ATINY also revealed that another concert-goer had dropped to the ground and thrown up, probably from standing in line so long and overheating. While they did get medical attention and were okay, staff at the venue actually laughed at them, according to multiple ATINYs.
@bbyongbias put in 2x !! but this is my experience at gas south arena (not good!!) #ateez #atiny #ateeztour #gassoutharena #towardsthelight #will_to_power #ateezinduluth #ateezinatlanta #ateez_official_ #ateezatiny #ateeztyp @emily :p 🩶
As ATINYs finally started entering the venue and had to go through security, more weird experiences occurred. While some security barely checked concert-goers’ bags, some ATINYs revealed that some security confiscated some of their items, including flags, while others got to keep theirs. Some security even found issues with the merchandise ATINYs bought at the venue.
@lava.vamp count your days gas south arena,,, #rant #fyp #ateez #atiny @Gas South District and obviously its not all the workers but god its just so irritating being so hyped and excited just for stupid things like this to happen.
One of the most concerning occurrences, though, was on Day 1. During “It’s You,” an ATINY began suffering from seizures.
ATINYs attempted to get the staff’s attention and even created a circle of light with their lightsticks to get attention. Yet, it took nearly twelve minutes before a medic showed up. ATINYs stress that a person could have died due to Gas South Arena’s negligence.
Also gas south arena, do better with your medical staff cause why did everyone have their flashlights up for 10 minutes trying to shine light on someone who needed medical attention and it took them that long to get there pic.twitter.com/Z9Go7Xl7Pg

Another person needed medical attention, but the staff ignored and appeared annoyed when ATINYs attempted to get their attention for help. ATINYs themselves had to act to help those needing medical attention because there were insufficient medics.
The staff didn’t take ATINYs’ health and concerns seriously throughout the concert. Throughout the hot day/night, many were left dehydrated. At one point, when an ATINY said they needed water, a staff laughed and mockingly commented on needing a beer.
Many ATINYs still enjoyed the concert, but the venue left much to be desired.
Hopefully, Gas South Arena will learn from their mistakes.
