The announcement of Ara Malikian’s concert in Ibiza has sparked a wave of excitement — and frustration — among his fans. Tickets went on sale online this Friday at 9 a.m. and sold out in less than a minute. Far from calming expectations, the record-breaking sell-out has triggered complaints from several buyers who say they had no real opportunity to purchase tickets for the concert, scheduled for this Friday at 9 p.m. at the fairgrounds.
According to this newspaper, at least three people have lodged complaints after attempting to buy tickets through the official sales platform. One of those affected claims that by 9.01 a.m., just one minute after sales opened, no seats were available. “I didn’t even have time to confirm the payment. Something strange is going on”, the buyer says, questioning how the sales process was handled.
“There wasn’t even a single ticket left at nine o’clock”
Another user describes a similar experience and raises further doubts about the system. “Ara Malikian’s tickets went on sale at nine in the morning. Before that, you couldn’t access the purchase page at all, and yet at 9.01 it was already showing an error. How is that possible?” they ask, echoing the frustration shared by many of the violinist’s followers.
“I am very angry because I stopped everything at nine in the morning to buy Ara Malikian tickets and not a single one was available”, complains another user. “It makes me angry that there was so much promotion when there were apparently no tickets to buy. I think it’s unacceptable to announce that tickets go on sale today when there wasn’t even one available”, they conclude.
