A debate has sparked online about how “unreasonable” the ticket prices were which left social media users divided on the said matter.
Social media users and fans took the conversation on social media to share their thoughts about the situation.
One user wrote, “for a ppop group na supposedly pang masa and considering most of your fans are students? these prices are a joke. feeling kpop company kayo jan? ayusin niyo muna yung production and mga low quality merch niyo. grabe kayo manggatas sa fans, you never considered them lol [For a P-pop group that is supposedly for the masses and considering most of your fans are students? These prices are a joke. Feeling like a kpop company? Fix first the production and your low quality merch. You’re overly milking the fans, you never considered them lol].”
“On a serious note, ticket prices for bini the grand biniverse is so expensive. management themselves sets ticket prices and that the main goal should be to make ticket prices reasonable and not inflate prices. our enemy here is the mngmt and not the girls. okay? ,” as written by another user.
A third user wrote, “There’s a whole discourse on why these are very high prices. And while I’m not saying that BINI don’t deserve to be seen, the very first red flag here that this is driven by greed from S(M) is the fact that Soundcheck is a top up and not a given with the price of VIP tickets.”
Many more fans voiced their disapproval, with some highlighting that a significant portion of their fanbase consists of students.
Some also made it clear that the criticism is directed at the management, not the girls, with fans calling them out for handling BINI and their fans poorly.
Meanwhile, some fans still defended the move, stating “demand,” and the cost amount needed to produce the concert.
Will fans give in and still go to the concert despite this, or will ticket prices change? There are no clear answers to these questions yet.
As of the moment, BINI’s management has yet to respond to the fans’ clamor.
