A few months ahead of the tour, a netizen shared heartbreak at the availability of the two Texas shows, with huge numbers of blue dots showing tickets still available and on sale.

It sparked a debate because while some wondered about MAMAMOO’s ability to sell arenas, others hit back at RBW Entertainment’s lack of promotion and at the choice of such huge venues (in the same state), given that MAMAMOO hasn’t toured together in the US for a while. While many don’t doubt MAMAMOO’s popularity, there has been a trend even among the newer groups to struggle with selling tickets in the US.

This happens because RBW is allergic to promote the tours. Moos, I know it’s not your job but please spread the tour news as much as you can. RBW won’t do anything. https://t.co/GZb6Lv6Vtb

kpop companies booking arenas for their idols knowing damn well the demand is minimal what the hell is this? might aswell swap the arena with a smaller theatre venue https://t.co/75Gh3hRcc5

On Reddit, the stats for the whole tour were shared, and while the Texas shows saw extremely low sales, the others were selling well.

This was acknowledged in the comments, with more anger towards the tour companies for not doing research at a time where concerts are struggling to sell tickets and doing two shows in one state.
