#SHOWBIZ: BlackPink fans demand compensation for Deadline Tour seats with obstructed views
SEOUL: Some unlucky BlackPink fans have been unable to watch their idols in action, due to their views being blocked.
This happened at the South Korean girl group's recent show at Goyang Sports Complex, which is part of their Deadline World Tour.
The Korean Herald reported yesterday that those seated in the N3, N8 and N9 zones found their views obstructed by huge stage installations.
They had paid regular B-tier ticket prices of 132,000 Korean won (RM409), but could not see the stage at all.
The ticketing site mentioned 'possible visual obstruction due to stage structures' but according to fans, this was a complete blockage of their view and some are considering filing a report.
South Korea's consumer protection guidelines allow concert-goers to apply for a full refund as well as 10 per cent compensation should the organiser significantly obstruct the audience's view.
