The scramble for tickets to K-pop band BTS' comeback tour, which comes after a four-year hiatus, has seen Mexico's president appealing to her South Korean counterpart to add more shows in her country.
"I wrote a letter to the [president] of Korea... I still haven't received the answer, but let's hope it's positive," Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday.
BTS will hold three shows in Mexico City in May, as part of its 79-date world tour after a four-year hiatus. Tickets were wiped out in less than 40 minutes, local media reported.
Some fans have also accused Ticketmaster and resale platforms of dynamic pricing, prompting an investigation.
While on Ticketmaster, the official sales channel, tickets were going for between 1,800 pesos and 17,800 pesos ($100 to $1,030; £76 to £750), resale platforms were offering them for between 11,300 to 92,100 pesos, according to Reuters.
