BTS fans in Brazil question reduced screens for São Paulo shows
BTS’s South American tour is using four screens, compared with 12 at shows in other markets.
The dispute has reached Brazil, where the group is due to play three sold-out concerts at São Paulo’s MorumBIS Stadium on October 28, 30 and 31.
Fans say fewer screens could make the show harder to see, especially from upper seating areas.
The four screens are arranged around a central tower, and Live Nation says they provide a 360-degree viewing experience.
Live Nation blamed logistical and scheduling constraints for the reduced setup and said it matched the seating map available when tickets went on sale.
Procon-SP received 518 complaints about the concerts, including 460 about production infrastructure, while Brazilian consumer authorities requested explanations from Live Nation.
No changes to the stage setup have been announced, and the São Paulo concerts will close the South American leg.
