BLACKPINK member Lisa has become the subject of online criticism after a ticket-sales update for her upcoming Las Vegas residency started circulating on social media. With her VIVA LA LISA shows set to begin on November 12, some netizens have used the figures to question her popularity as a solo performer. However, many fans have pushed back against the criticism, pointing out that the original four dates sold out quickly and the two additional dates were announced later.

Lisa is preparing to make history with her six-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The performances will take place across November, marking her first solo Las Vegas residency and a major milestone in her international career.

Lisa’s Las Vegas Residency Ticket Sales Become a Talking Point

The discussion began after an online ticket-sales update shared on November 9 claimed that 1,847 tickets were still available across the six scheduled shows. The update listed an overall sale rate of 92.99%, with an estimated net capacity of more than 22,000. While four dates were reportedly sold out, tickets remained available for the two additional performances.

Some social media users seized on this information to mock Lisa, arguing that a major K-pop soloist should have been able to sell out all six shows. Others questioned the demand for the residency and made sarcastic remarks about the ticket availability just days before the opening performance.

Netizens Mock Lisa Over Two Shows With Available Tickets

Several critical comments focused on the fact that not every performance had sold out. Some users questioned the claims surrounding Lisa's popularity and suggested that her online fan following did not necessarily translate into ticket purchases.

Others compared the ticket availability with the expectations surrounding a major international artist. The discussion quickly turned into a debate about Lisa's drawing power as a solo performer, with critics using the remaining seats to challenge her commercial appeal. However, the online reactions were divided, and the criticism did not go unanswered.

Fans Defend Lisa, Point to Four Sold-Out Dates

Many fans came to Lisa's defence, arguing that the ticket figures were being presented without the full context. They pointed out that the original four performances sold out in under 10 minutes, prompting the addition of two more dates. Supporters also highlighted that these are Lisa's first solo shows in the United States outside festival appearances.

Some argued that the tickets were priced higher than those for typical concerts, making the sales figures impressive despite the remaining availability. Fans further criticised the use of a single ticket-sales update to judge an artist's overall popularity. They maintained that selling out four performances and adding two more dates was a significant achievement.
