Naturally, seeing footage from Sunday’s show left Saturday concertgoers upset and demanding refunds. The complaints began mount when fans at the Saturday’s show hit social media after the concert wrapped, writing that it did not meet expectations and was a different experience from what they had seen of his overseas performances.
Specifically, there were no fireworks, Marvel Stadium was enclosed, the crowd was “dead” and the fan-favourite closing song of Moth To A Flame was not performed. “The crowd was so dead, but I loved Abel anyways,” one fan said on TikTok. “Worst crowd,” a second agreed as another said, “Why no Moth To A Flame!? This was nothing like his other shows!” “We all deserve a refund if that’s what night 1 got — 1.
Late. 2: Closed Roof. 3: Rushed songs.
4: No fireworks. 5: No good closing. And mainly no Moth to A Flame.
We deserved BETTER! So disappointed,”.
