Jakarta, ThedailyID — More than 70,000 people reportedly joined the online queue during the artist presale for The Weeknd concert tickets, reflecting massive demand from Indonesian fans.
The Canadian singer is scheduled to perform in Jakarta at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium as part of his upcoming world tour.
The presale quickly became crowded shortly after ticket sales opened, with many users sharing screenshots of long queue numbers across social media platforms.
Several fans also complained about waiting times, slow website access, and difficulties securing tickets because of the overwhelming traffic.
Meanwhile, others celebrated online after successfully obtaining seats for the highly anticipated concert.
The strong response highlighted The Weeknd’s massive popularity in Indonesia and across Asia, especially among younger listeners.
Concert ticket “wars” have increasingly become common for major international artists because fan demand often exceeds venue capacity within minutes.
In addition, many fans rushed to secure tickets early during the artist presale stage to avoid higher prices or limited availability in general sales.
Social media platforms such as X and TikTok quickly filled with reactions, memes, and frustration from fans who failed to complete transactions.
The concert itself has become one of the most anticipated music events among Indonesian audiences this year.
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, remains globally popular through hit songs including “Blinding Lights,” “Starboy,” and “Save Your Tears.”
