NCT 127 will soon be holding their 8th-anniversary fan meeting, 8ECRET INVITATION.
Fans were in high anticipation of the special event to be held on August 3 and 4, 2024. As tickets were hard to fight for, those who managed to score seats were overjoyed. One such fan had cold water poured over them when they received a message on July 30, 2024, just days before the fanmeeting. The organizers suddenly announced that their seats would be moved due to a change in stage structure.
They were devastated, as they had originally scored front-row tickets. They were moved to the fifth row of a different area.
Thank you for your interest in the 2024 NCT 127 8th ANNIVERSARy FANMEETING 8ECRET INVITATION. Currently, we have added a structure to the stage, causing the seats in area 9, rows 1 to 3, to be unavailable to the audience. As such, for those who have bought tickets to those seats, we will be moving you to area 18.
Your current seat: Area 9, Row 1, X
Your new seat: Area 18, Row 5, X

They were absolutely baffled at the unfair change.

This was the old seating arrangement. First row in Area 9 would have placed the fan in a prime spot.
After the changes were made, a new area, area 18, was added in front of the console. More seats were also added to area 27.
Other fans were outraged on their behalf.

Others called out those in charge of NCT for their incompetence and discrimination against fans.
엔시티 담당 센터만 유독 팬들 무시하는듯 신경을 안쓰는건지 아니면 예스24가 못 돼 쳐먹은건지. https://t.co/qI6Kf5OeYN

The center in charge of NCT looks down on fans. Either they don’t care about the fans, or YES24 is too mean.

Many feel that the fans affected by the change should be compensated. Although what they have done goes against consumer laws, they are easily absolvable if they tell the fans to file a refund simply. On the other hand, fans are unwilling to give up their tickets, even if it means a different seat from what they expected.
