My Chemical Romance ticket buyers express frustration over crashed website and sold out tickets
PEOPLE who are trying to purchase tickets for My Chemical Romance's (MCR) concert are met with errors and sold out seats as ticketing websites and app suffered a major crash. 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. ALSO READ: Killjoys' joy cut short by surprise fees despite pricey MCR tickets '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. ALSO READ: RM699 MCR KL concert tickets now RM3,200 – fans call for action '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.

RM699 MCR KL concert tickets now RM3,200 – fans call for action
AS Malaysian 'Killjoys' scramble to secure tickets for the My Chemical Romance (MCR), American rock band's long-awaited 2026 concert on April 30 in Bukit Jalil, scalpers have already swooped in, reselling tickets at inflated prices across online platforms. In a Threads post, Syazwan Basri shared screenshots of a reseller offering RM699 tickets for a staggering RM3,200 — more than four times the original price. The inflated resale price is three times higher than a single premium Helena Zone seat. Syazwan also tagged the concert organiser, Adam Ashraf, congratulating him on the impressive sold-out status within just four hours of sales opening, while urging him to take action against scalper groups exploiting fans. Responding to that, Adam said 'Keep calm. The march is not over,' as a hint for a possible opening for another round of ticket sales. Other users shared numerous posts by scalpers reselling tickets at inflated prices with a clear 'take it or leave it' attitude. Many urged fellow fans not to fall for the overpriced resale traps, warning against supporting scalpers by purchasing from them. The desperation and greed of these resellers have been widely criticised by netizens, who condemned their attempts to make thousands of ringgit in profit from tickets they originally bought for just a few hundred. Earlier this week, Malay Mail reported that Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil confirmed the government is working on an anti-scalping law, following a series of incidents related to ticket resales.

[Watch] The Fountain That's Redefining What LEGO Can Do
Subscribe to our FREE There's something magical happening in the world of LEGO, and it's not just nostalgia talking. The Danish company's latest release – a stunning recreation of Rome's Trevi Fountain – represents a quantum leap in what's possible when tiny plastic bricks meet serious architectural ambition. At It's something entirely different: a sophisticated building experience that happens to use the same colourful bricks you remember stepping on barefoot. When Art Meets Engineering The new Trevi Fountain showcases techniques that would have been impossible just a few years ago. We're talking about gradient water effects using translucent blue pieces, asymmetrical rockwork that mimics nature's randomness, and architectural details so intricate they'd make actual baroque architects do a double-take. The set recreates the entire It's the kind of attention to detail that transforms a toy into something approaching a work of art. The building instructions for the set include a booklet that features history and mythology regarding the Trevi Fountain, enhancing the building experience. Evolution, Not Revolution This is actually LEGO's second take on the Trevi Fountain. Their That earlier set was what designers call 'representational' – it captured the essence without sweating every detail. The new version goes full literal, and the difference is striking. It's like comparing a beautiful sketch to a detailed oil painting. Both have their place, but the new version demonstrates just how far LEGO's design philosophy has evolved. They're not just making toys anymore; they're creating experiences for builders who want to lose themselves in complexity and craftsmanship. For one, the set features translucent blue tiles that effectively mimic the appearance of water, thereby enhancing the fountain's visual appeal. The Adult Renaissance What's fascinating is watching LEGO embrace its adult audience without abandoning its playful roots. The company has reckoned that adults seek challenges, authenticity, and a building experience that can occupy an entire weekend. The Trevi Fountain delivers on all fronts. The build process spans 15 numbered bags and incorporates techniques that push the boundaries of what LEGO elements can do. There are parts being used in ways their original designers probably never imagined – like using the inside of curved pieces to create recessed architectural niches. Value in the Eye of the Builder Yes, RM699 is not a lot, but also not a small amount for a LEGO set. But consider what you're getting: hours of engaging building, a display piece that'll start conversations, and a masterclass in architectural recreation. When you break it down to cost per hour of entertainment, it starts looking more reasonable. Compare it to other adult hobbies – a nice bottle of wine, a concert ticket, a weekend getaway – and suddenly the math makes more sense. This is experiential purchasing, not just toy buying. From Toy Box to Art Form The Trevi Fountain represents something larger: LEGO's transformation from a simple toy company into a legitimate creative medium. They're proving that plastic bricks can tackle subjects as complex as baroque architecture while maintaining the fundamental joy of building something with your hands. The finished model is genuinely impressive – a conversation starter that bridges the gap between childhood nostalgia and adult sophistication. It's the kind of piece that looks at home in a modern living room or office, which is exactly the point. Premium Experience, Premium Results What makes this set special isn't just its size or price – it's the ambition behind it. LEGO is pushing itself to see what's possible when it combines new building techniques, sophisticated design, and an adult audience willing to invest in quality experiences. The result is a set that feels less like a toy and more like a premium hobby kit. It's detailed enough to satisfy architecture enthusiasts, complex enough to challenge experienced builders, and beautiful enough to display with pride. Working as a team of four with the Not for Everyone (And That's the Point) The LEGO Trevi Fountain isn't for everyone, and it's not trying to be. It's a statement piece for serious builders who appreciate craftsmanship and are willing to invest in it. In a world of mass-produced everything, there's something refreshing about a product that unapologetically aims for excellence. Is it expensive? It's not cheap, but then again, the best experiences rarely are. Is it worth it? That depends on what you value – but for builders who want to push their skills and create something genuinely impressive, it's hard to argue with the results.
