The sudden announcement has left several fans disheartened, with some even questioning the fairness of the ticketing process. Fans have taken to the comment section to express their disappointment and frustration, with many feeling that the additional tickets should have been released earlier.
“This is what it feels like when you keep going back to an ex, hoping everything would be different this time,” wrote one user, with another mentioning, “If the tickets were sold out and the stadium did not have the capacity how can there be more additions?”
“Can’t wait to be disappointed yet again,” shared one user. Another comment read, “Are you kidding me? Seriously?”
“These tickets could’ve just been sold when the other tickets were sold and people would have planned a much better trip, absolutely ridiculous,” shared one user, with another sharing, “This is officially Squid Game – Coldplay Edition – Everyone gonna get eliminated trying for these tickets”.
