While initially happy about his concert, netizens are left agape by the steep ticket prices.
They have waited for a long time to see him perform live but they can’t afford the current ticket prices.
Some of his long-time fans expressed their disappointment in hilarious tones. One of them jokingly said they can only afford to listen to his songs on YouTube.
Others pointed out that the venue does not justify the steep price with a few suggesting a switch of venues to be better.
On the other hand, a netizen feels the VIP tickets are underpriced for a seasoned artist like Faizal Tahir. The netizen suggests raising the VIP ticket prices but lowering the Platinum tickets to an affordable rate so more people can enjoy his concert.
Meanwhile, another person claims that the concert is meant for clients of Allianz who will be given complimentary tickets. The steep ticket prices are for non-clients who want to watch the concert.
Despite the high price, a netizen believes Faizal Tahir is one of the singers who deserve to hold a big concert.
Who is Faizal Tahir?
Faizal Tahir first shot to fame after becoming the first runner-up of the first season of One in a Million in 2006.
He has won multiple Anugerah Industri Muzik awards (the Malaysian equivalent of the Grammys), Anugerah Juara Lagu, and Anugerah Planet Muzik awards.
Some of his best hits include Santai, Mahakarya Cinta, and Fire & Water, which was also the theme song for BoBoiBoy Movie 2.

I’m contemplating because of the venue for these ticket prices. Was looking through the pictures of wtc, and, doesn’t look like a worthy concert experience, for sound, staging and seats..and the map doesn’t indicate seating or standing zones..

Hi @faizal_tahir lama tunggu konsert FT, tapi harganya boleh tahan jugak. Boleh tak consider untuk tukar venue so that boleh allocate lagi ramai orang and harga tiketnya lagi affordable ✨

Tukar ke Zepp KL then most probably worth it 😍.

Harga tiket terlalu premium utk b40.. mungkin sbb lokasi konsert. Klu buat kt axiata mgkn harga tak se-premium ni.. nak pergi sangat tapi apakan daya 🥺🥺🥺

Pendapat saya, untuk artis dengan reputasi dan diskografi abang, harga tiket VIP underpriced. Jika naikkan harga tiket VIP, mungkin boleh turunkan harga tiket platinum menjadi lebih mampu milik, beri peluang kepada lebih banyak golongan masyarakat menonton konsert abang.

Ooo. Aku baru faham. Konsert ini sebenarnya untuk klien Allianz. Kalau bukan klien dorang, memang inilah harganya. Faizal Tahir dibayar untuk servis sebagai penyanyi sahaja. Kebanyakan tiket nanti mungkin akan diberikan secara percuma kepada klien, staf dan VVIP Allianz.
