One user stated, “I understand the BTS concert is your first big concert, but please, please take notes and correct what happened today.  Maybe start letting fans in earlier or have more security at the gates to speed up the process.  I'm just sayin.” Another posted, “Gate 7 at sofi stadium.. Literally a mob outside the stadium, Delay in concert, and some guards not checking vaccine card and tickets. There are also some xenophobic security.”  Meanwhile, one shared, “Y’all I’m literally scared right now at sofi stadium. I came tonight to get mercy before my show tomorrow and it’s a mess with security. If you have gate 8 tomorrow good luck y’all.” And, the next one concluded, “Why they letting people in without checking that’s hella unsafe idc if there is a lot of people if I was security I would be checking everything.”
