SM Bangalore - Sunburn Union Rant
Let's begin by stating that I was on the "Artist Guestlist" and I did not have to pay a single penny to enter.
Normal audience had to pay anywhere between 2k - 4k per person.
Now onto the rant -
Sunburn Union has previously hosted SM last year and it was massively overbooked and people were barely able to breathe with front rows being squashed.
Today (4th October 2026), the same venue hosted them again and multiple people left the venue before the show even started, with their fan-pit tags, including myself (who was included by the SM team).
Why?
Because this time, the venue sold their shame along with tickets and EPICLY OVERBOOKED. The entire arena was filled, no space to walk or breath, BEFORE the show even started.
And what's more is, there were still 100-150 people outside waiting to enter.
SM team should really focus on overbooking and selecting a better venue.
Sunburn Union sμcks fat a$§. They don't give one single flying fμ¢k about crowd management. They were removing the hand-tags and explicitly stating that once you leave, you cannot re-enter. Why?? Who tf are you to tell anyone who may/may not have paid ₹ 2k+ that they cannot enter again just because they came out for air????
Fμ¢k these losers at Sunburn Union.
TBSM4L but I left out the show today only because of the crowd management and mistreatment of the audience by the losers of Sunburn Union.
Feeling very sad for all the people who paid to catch a glimpse of the boys and to enjoy but ended up choosing between leaving early or suffering for a mere breath.
