Lisa (BlackPink) is mocked for having unsold tickets.

As the first member of BlackPink to hold a global fan meeting tour after 8 years of activity, Lisa is facing the risk of unsold tickets.

Fanmeeting of Lisa Tickets keep selling but never run out.

According to According to Kbizoom , only 15% of the tickets for the idol group were sold after the first day of ticket sales in Singapore.

In Indonesia, a country with a large fan base and considered Lisa's second home, less than half of the tickets were sold within three days of going on sale. CNN Indonesia They even reported on the issue, calling the fan meeting "exorbitantly priced." The cheapest tickets cost $117, while the most expensive went up to $378.

As of October 31st, on Ticketmaster, there are still many seats available for Lisa's fan meeting in Singapore. Ticket prices range from $168-$348 USD, excluding taxes and other services, totaling up to 15%.

Tickets for Lisa (BlackPink)'s fan meeting in Singapore and Indonesia haven't sold out yet because they're too expensive.

With these additional costs, fans have to pay between $135 and $445 for the cheapest tickets to a fan meeting.

The high ticket prices led to controversy over Lisa's agency allegedly overpricing tickets, underestimating the idol's influence, and causing the stadiums to potentially be unfilled. "Are the organizers and Lisa overestimating themselves? Didn't they consult other idols?" - one critic commented.

Indonesian fans commented: "How can Lisa's fan meeting tickets be more expensive than Ed Sheeran's most expensive concert tickets?", "Are the people organizing this event out of their minds to set the prices like that? This is just a fan meeting, not a concert. Lisa doesn't have many solo songs, and the most expensive ticket is almost $445..."

One comment, which garnered over 20,000 likes, sarcastically remarked that the price was too high for just hearing Lisa sing a few songs and lip-sync.

In comparison, Suga (BTS) has a much better ticket sales record. Even compared to other female solo artists like Taeyeon and IU, Lisa's ticket sales are significantly lower.

Big Ground Entertainment, the company organizing Lisa's fan meeting, stated that the listed price was an agreement between them and Lisa, and was adjusted according to the fan meeting concept.

"With its scale of production, spectacular stage, LED lighting unlike most Kpop artist fan meetings, stage technology (some imported from Singapore), and concert-grade sound system, this will be an unforgettable event for fans."

"Because the stage conditions and event concept are different from typical fan gatherings, audience capacity is limited to match the scale," a representative of the organizing unit said, explaining the reason for the high ticket prices.

BTC must reduce ticket prices by 35%.

In light of this situation, Lisa's fans in Indonesia have petitioned, arguing that the new production company is having difficulty promoting the fan meeting, resulting in the event not selling out.

The location also makes it difficult to access by public transport, and fans say the ticket prices are much higher than the average Indonesian worker's salary.

BTC had to reduce ticket prices by 35% after fan protests.

"We hope the company can consider changing the organizers, finding a more accessible location, and lowering ticket prices so that more fans can attend," Lisa's fan group messaged LLOUD, the management company founded by Lisa.

Based on the newly released list, the most expensive tickets have dropped by approximately 35%, from $378 to $246. The cheapest tickets have been reduced by about 27%, from $117 to $85.

The organizers guarantee that the latest ticket prices apply to all fans, including those who purchased tickets in advance. Therefore, they will refund the price difference, including taxes and platform fees.

In September, Lisa announced her Asian fan meeting tour, scheduled to take place in mid-November. The series of events is called “Fan Meetup”.

According to the announced schedule, Lisa's fan meeting tour will stop in five provinces/cities across Asia. The tour will begin on November 11th in Singapore, then continue to Bangkok (Thailand), Jakarta (Indonesia), Kaohsiung (Taiwan, China) and conclude in Hong Kong (China) on November 19th.
