Fans have remained angry and vocal since the disastrous MONSTA X concert held in London, UK at the Wembley Arena with Se7en, Tahiti and 7 O’Clock.
The highly anticipated concert was to be held in a large venue that could seat up to 12 500 fans, with the tickets starting at the fairly steep price of £110 GBP (~$156 USD)—some fans even allegedly paying up to £400 (~$568 USD).
London UK – 2018: Monsta x performed for roughly 700 people in a concert hall that can fill up to 12,500 people. This is due to expensive tickets & KPOPKNIGHT’s HORRID organisation skills. FREE tickets are being handed out & people were also transferred to vip. pic.twitter.com/ylGMW8eD0Z

By the time the day of the concert rolled around, only an estimated 700 people had purchased tickets to attend the event and organizers scrambled to brings fans in to fill the venue for free.

The above video shows just how empty the concert was.
#kpopknight Yall should never trust an organization like that again. There are now people getting in for free, cause this in no way would sell out. People payed nearly 110 to 170 for a ticket and others got in for free.

According to one Twitter user, fans were initially promised discount codes for a meet-and-greet with MONSTA X and the rest of the artists. The event organizers also allegedly offered to take fans to MONSTA X’s hotel.
I want to write a book about all the shit that went down in kpopknight. How the organizers acted, what kind of sick games they played. THEY INVITED FANS TO MONSTA X'S HOTEL. ON PURPOSE. Worker at Wembley told us it must've been a PUBLICITY TRICK.#Kpopknight #wembley #monstax

Wembley staff were apparently just as confused as the concert goers, with no idea what was going on with the performance order, the sudden changes in plans, and the overall chaotic disorganization,
