My Chemical Romance ticket buyers express frustration over crashed website and sold out tickets
Many people on Reddit expressed their frustration and dissapointment with the situation.
Organisers of the MCR South East Asia 2026 concert in Kuala Lumpur, GoLive Asia and Hello Universe Malaysia announced that the concert has been sold out, with 60,000 tickets snapped at around four hours after sales started on Friday.
@Hilter blamed scalpers who purchase tickets in advance just to sell them off at a higher price.

'I feel bad my friends couldn't get MCR tickets because of scalpers. Talentless, soulless people flipping seats like it's a stock market. Hope they get stuck with a hundred unsold tickets and a lifetime ban from every venue on earth,' he said.
@Express_Yam_9547 said a concert in Indonesia is better than the one in Malaysia where MCR will be performing in a rock festival with other famous bands like Blink 182 and System of a Down.
@VapeGodz said his colleague got a call from the event organiser when she tried to buy the ticket. They were asking her real MCR fan questions that were difficult to answer.
@Pabasa pointed out that he didn't get a phone call when he tried buying a ticket but rather a multiple choice question about MCR.

'I got the first question wrong and I was sent back to the queue. I got in line again and and got the second question right before I was able to buy the ticket,' he said.
Pabasa said the first question was asking what location was the song Helena music video filmed in. Second question was asking what song has the given lyrics.
@mooglefly said, 'i am so upset at this GoLive ticketing system... hopefully (very unlikely but one can dream) they add more concert dates.'
Some like @asdfghjkirara complained that they already purchased a ticket but didn't receive an email confirming their ticket purchase.
'Has anyone received an email about their ticket purchase for MCR Malaysia? I didn't receive any email aside from the payment confirmation. I don't see my order on the order history and my events on my GoLive account,' he said.

Both girls are also diabetic. 'I would memorise as many songs as possible including those in Malay.

M'sian Comic Artist Akmal 'Kucha' Aziz Shares About The Time He Met MCR's Gerard Way
Not anyone can say that they met a global superstar by chance – but this Malaysian can! Local comic artist and animator Akmal 'Kucha' Aziz recently dropped a 'lore' about himself involving My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way! Earlier this week, Twitter users have been sharing interesting anecdotes about themselves as part of a Twitter trend. Akmal jumped on the bandwagon, sharing an interesting anecdote about himself from San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2012. According to the director of 'Didi And Friends The Movie', the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has sponsored him and a few other Malaysian comic artists to attend the event. While at SDCC, the group set up a booth, sold comics, attended panels and networked. However, on one of the days they were there, the group saw a familiar face sitting alone in the lounge area. After Googling the individual on the search engine, the group confirmed that the familiar face was none other than My Chemical Romance co-founder and frontman Gerard Way. As the group greeted him, the singer invited them to sit and chat. Akmal also shared a photo he took with Gerard at the event. Responding to comments, the Malaysian revealed what the group chatted about with the singer. The comic artist explained that Gerard was at SDCC to promote his two comic book series, 'The Umbrella Academy' and 'The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'. During the same event, the musician also held a signing for 'Killjoys', which he recently released. Gerard also had an excited response when the group revealed that they were from Malaysia, saying that MCR once performed in Kuala Lumpur. Many local netizens have since reacted to Akmal's anecdote, mostly expressing shock at the casual meeting. Some also expressed envy towards Akmal and the group of Malaysians, noting that the moment was a rare chance. Others also took the opportunity to share some MCR-themed puns. We also agree with the rest that Akmal's meeting with Gerard Way was enviable, to say the least. Perhaps the group of local comic artists can have a reunion with the star when he returns to Malaysia next April for MCR's concert in KL. Source: Twitter

MCR Fans Outraged By RM6k Resale Concert Tickets; Alleged Scalper Responds
After teasing fans with cryptic billboard advertisements around Kuala Lumpur, it has finally been confirmed that legendary rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR) will be performing in Malaysia in 2026. This marks the band's first return to the country since 2007, when they played to a crowd of 10,000 at Stadium Merdeka. Tickets went on sale last week and, as anticipated, fans faced frustration due to bots and scalpers during the online queue. Not only were many left disappointed after failing to secure their tickets, but they were also outraged after finding out that this person is reselling his concert tickets at an extremely high price. Here's the story: Earlier this week, a Facebook user named Jason posted online that he was reselling 6 Zone C MCR concert tickets for RM6,000. He explained that the decision to give away the tickets was due to a recent breakup. 'I bought them for my girlfriend and her friends, but life had other plans; we broke up. So here I am, letting go of the tickets, and maybe a little bit of the past too,' he wrote. The user acknowledged that the asking price might seem high, but added that it is negotiable. Although he may not have had any ill intentions, netizens were quick to accuse him of being a scalper, as they are often known for buying tickets in bulk and reselling them at inflated prices. Some criticised the man, saying he should have resold the tickets at their original price, while others pointed out that ticket reselling is illegal, and that his tickets could immediately be voided if he were found guilty of such an act by the organisers. Following the backlash, the man defended himself, insisting he was not a scalper and pointing out that he was not forcing anyone to buy the tickets, as he had already accepted his losses. However, he appeared to contradict himself by justifying the high ticket price and admitting that he hoped to make a small profit. Regardless of whether the man was telling the truth or not, it is always advisable to purchase tickets only through official ticketing platforms or authorised sellers. As for what can be done to counter scalpers, you can simply just ignore them until they go too broke to resume their illegal business. Malaysian Communications Minister, YB Datuk Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil, also recently confirmed that an anti-scalping law is in motion, following the rising problem of concert ticket scalpers for international acts.
