Now, SEVENTEEN 2024 [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN U.S. has been announced with tickets going on sale August 14-15. Despite the anticipation leading up to the announcement, CARATs are disappointed.

The tour includes just five stops across the United States: Chicago, IL; Elmont, New York; San Antonio, TX; Oakland, CA; and Los Angeles, CA.

CARATs are finding fault with many things. For one thing, there are too few locations for the U.S. tour. The South is not included at all, just the West. Many feel Atlanta, GA, should have been included.

Many fans feel this hardly counts as a tour, with so few states included. Four out of fifty 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.

With such few stops, many CARATs will want to travel and visit locations they wouldn’t otherwise, making them more crowded. Considering this, choosing a predominantly arena tour probably wasn’t the best decision for a group as popular as SEVENTEEN.

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

The capacity of the arenas for seventeen‘s us tour 💀 I know plybe is stupid but they’re really on a different level of stupidity

Some fans were disappointed that most concert days are on weekdays. For CARATs who have to go to school or can’t take time off from work, this makes it hard to attend.
