Siti Nurhaliza moved by fans' 'battle' for concert tickets

Malaysian superstar Siti Nurhaliza is overwhelmed with emotion as fans go to great lengths to purchase tickets for her "Konsert Gema Bumantara" on October 17. The singer shared that she was moved to tears, and also found it amusing, watching fans' online posts detailing their "battle" to buy tickets.

"I feel touched, I want to cry, it's also funny," Siti Nurhaliza said. "Because they recorded it, we also created a challenge for them to record their moments of battling for tickets. I saw on Threads, some were very confident they could get tickets, but in the end, they didn't. It was very suspenseful watching their reactions."

She added that the unwavering support from Malaysians, especially her fans, has deeply touched her. "What's certain is, I feel very touched because Malaysians, especially fans, never stop giving support," she stated. "When I see their determination, even saving money just to buy my concert tickets, I feel I cannot disappoint them. That's what's on my mind every time I see their videos and shares."

Siti Nurhaliza also commented on a viral fan who appeared to be making a large ticket payment online, suggesting the individual might be buying for friends. She acknowledged that some fans attend in groups and may assist each other, particularly those with specific bank cards offering early access. She noted that ticket systems often assign available seats, which might not be ideal, and suggested fans needing help could discuss options with the ticketing agent, Tiket2U.

Responding to a fan's humorous online post about potentially using their Employees Provident Fund (EPF) savings for a ticket, Siti Nurhaliza promised her best performance. "Yes, I replied to his post. I said I will not disappoint, I will do my best for my fans," she affirmed. She also views the concert as a contribution to Malaysian culture and the nation, aiming to showcase traditional music on a large scale.
