"Its not something to be proud of. YG is really milking them. Damn."
"If they wil not make the stage bigger and with bigger monitor...I would be very upset. Coz I will understand if they have a high price....but the stage should also worth the price" wrote one netizen.
"Raising such a high price for Korea considering they hasn't promoted in 2 years, that there is no announcement of new music let alone an album, that girls only have a month to prepare for the tour. What's it gonna be? People will hate blackpink for that..." shared an X user.
"Blackpink is just YG'S easy way to get money lol because none of their artists as much as those girls, and when i say none LITERALLY NONE" posted one fan.
"With the confusion over duties and the serious decrease in the financial situation in Korea, these prices are just disrespectful to the fans. considering the fact that the comeback and new music have not been announced officially" read a comment on X.
Following the announcement of BLACKPINK's record-breaking concert ticket prices, fans flooded social media with a range of opinions. While many criticized YG Entertainment for allegedly exploiting the group's popularity, others pointed out that the prices were still relatively lower than what international fans usually pay.
"YG using Blackpink to recover all their financial losses during BP hiatus. They can't even give the girls a group comeback with a full album with not less than 8 songs. They'll drain the girls so that they have something to fund the other artists." said an individual on X.
"YG might include their deficits+current expenses+future expenses in determining BP's ticket price. I hope the girls get their deserving shares since they have to stop solo promotions for the money grubber" mentioned one X user.
"LoL this is like half of what international fans are paying" mentioned this fan.
"Their prices are super cheap compared to the US and PH ticket prices!!" shared another fan.
