Ever since ticket details for G-Dragon (권지용)’s upcoming 2-day “Übermensch” concert in Kuala Lumpur were announced, fans have been eagerly waiting on their screens to secure seats. Pre-sales went live yesterday (Monday, 26th May) from 4pm to midnight, and will be followed by the HLB pre-sale, which goes live later today (Tuesday, 27th May) at 3pm.

However, just like before, fans were left deeply dissatisfied with the ticketing website. Not only did the online service keep crashing, but local concertgoers discovered that most of the pre-sale tickets had allegedly been purchased by overseas fans. Here’s the story:

Last night, a fan wrote to G-Dragon on Instagram to inform him about the ticketing situation for his upcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur. According to the fan, most of the pre-sale tickets had allegedly been purchased by overseas buyers using a bypass to block Malaysian IP addresses. “It’s shocking and deeply disappointing. How can something like this happen? These were not sold by fair means,” the user wrote, while calling out the organiser, Star Planet Malaysia, and accusing them of allowing foreign bots to mass-purchase the tickets.

Other Malaysian fans echoed the claims, with many coming forward to criticise the organiser and the ticketing website, with some suspecting that the tickets had been sold to insiders. Fans also compared the situation to Taeyang’s concert, noting that the ticketing process for his show was not as frustrating as for his fellow BIGBANG member’s.

To add insult to injury, Malaysian fans not only had to deal with overseas buyers but also had to report local and foreign scalpers for mass-buying tickets and reselling them online. As seen in the screenshots above, many have claimed to have secured seats for the “Power” artist’s two-day concert and are now offering to sell them, supposedly at original prices. Some have also started reselling them on Viagogo at supposedly discounted prices.

Of course, as much as they would love to see their idol live, fans are not so easily fooled by these unauthorised ticketing services, as there have been multiple reports of them turning out to be scammers. At the time of writing, Star Planet Malaysia has yet to address the ticketing issues, but we do hope that true Malaysian G-Dragon fans will get the chance to see the rapper live on stage this July.
