KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 — The ticket prices for BlackPink's Born Pink World Tour here set tongues wagging among social media users, with the highest ticket priced at RM1,888.

The price was even higher than Malaysia's minimum wage of RM1,500, Oriental Daily reported

The daily pointed out that the group's ticket price for their concert in South Korea was only retailed at RM918.

The K-pop stars will be performing at Bukit Jalil National Stadium on March 4 next year with tickets sold between RM388 and RM1,888.

According to concert organiser Live Nation Malaysia, the RM1,888 ticket entitles the holder to the soundcheck package that allows fans early access to the venue as well as a commemorative laminate and lanyard.

Meanwhile, Sin Chew Daily reported that despite complaints of high price, pre-sale tickets have been sold out.

Blackpink last performed at Malaysia in 2019 with the highest ticket price at RM693 at that time.
