Fans eagerly awaiting French singer Alizee's upcoming concert in Vilnius are experiencing growing anxiety, fearing a repeat of the disappointing performance experienced by audiences in Palanga. The Palanga show, held recently, drew criticism for its brevity, with attendees reporting that Alizee performed for only about 30 minutes.
I am writing to you with great concern about the upcoming Alizee concert in Vilnius, scheduled for November 20th at the Compensa Hall. This weekend I read your portal's article about what happened in Palanga, and I was simply horrified. I myself have bought expensive tickets for this event in Vilnius and am currently in complete uncertainty โ I don't know what to do. Will I also be deceived? Are the organizers in Vilnius preparing the same show for the spectators?
This short duration has left many ticket holders for the November 20th Vilnius concert feeling deceived and uncertain about what to expect. One concerned fan, who purchased expensive tickets, expressed her distress to Delfi, questioning whether the Vilnius show would also be a "full Alizee show" or merely a brief appearance. She noted that neither the concert organizers nor the Compensa concert hall representatives have offered clear answers regarding the performance length.
Social media platforms were flooded with complaints after the Palanga concert, with attendees expressing their frustration over the short setlist and abrupt ending. Many traveled from various Lithuanian cities, having invested in pricier tickets, only to feel shortchanged. The lack of transparency from organizers regarding the Vilnius concert's duration has amplified these concerns, leaving fans questioning whether they can request refunds before the event.
If she only sings five songs again, why is the event advertised as a full Alizee show? Can we, having lost trust, get our money back for the tickets now, without waiting until November?
Delfi has also reached out to the organizers and Compensa for comment, but has yet to receive a response. The situation leaves ticket holders in limbo, hoping for clarity and a satisfactory performance in Vilnius, while fearing a repeat of the Palanga disappointment.
Those who were at the Alizee concert in Palanga tonight, don't you feel deceived? I mean... we waited and waited and got a few songs in half an hour... What was that? Most people traveled from afar and bought more expensive tickets. I saw the indignation of many after the concert and how people were still waiting for her, thinking she would come out on stage again. I think, maybe I should contact the ticket seller? I don't even know what to do, but somehow it should be made public. Because in Vilnius, I feel, the same thing will happen in the fall.
