BLACKPINK’s Lisa is set to meet fans in Jakarta and Singapore as part of her 2024 Asian fan meetup tour. However, many Indonesian fans are taken aback by the ticket prices in Jakarta, which are noticeably higher than Singapore’s. Despite explanations from event promoters, some fans are choosing to attend the Singapore event, seeking a better value.
Lisa’s fan meetup tour includes Jakarta on November 15, following stops in Singapore on November 11 and Bangkok on November 13, 2024. Many fans have voiced concerns over Jakarta’s ticket prices, calling them excessive compared to similar events in Singapore.
Tickets for the Jakarta meetup range across 10 categories, from IDR 1.85 million (approx. SGD 157) to IDR 5.95 million (approx. SGD 505), with added fees pushing the highest ticket price near IDR 7 million (SGD 594). This hefty range has left fans debating whether the experience is worth the cost.
Singapore’s fan meetup, held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, offers four ticket categories, with VIP tickets at SGD 348 (IDR 4.17 million). Booking fees in Singapore add only SGD 5 per ticket, making total prices significantly lower compared to Jakarta’s steep markups.
Fan benefits vary slightly by location. All Jakarta ticket holders receive an exclusive postcard, with a select 50 getting a signed poster. VIPs and Diamond ticket holders in Jakarta gain additional perks, including lanyards, VIP access, and send-off participation. In Singapore, however, VIP ticket holders receive more benefits, including exclusive VIP passes and a send-off session with red carpet access for 650 fans.
The significant price gap between Jakarta and Singapore has raised questions among Indonesian fans about fair pricing and event accessibility. Despite additional benefits for premium Jakarta tickets, fans note that Singapore’s offerings provide comparable experiences at a more affordable rate.

Ultimately, while both fan meetups present unique experiences, the higher ticket prices in Jakarta have led some fans to seek out the Singapore event instead. Lisa’s devoted following has sparked a broader conversation on fair pricing across similar events in different regions.
With Lisa’s popularity continuing to soar, fans are left weighing costs against fan benefits across cities. While Jakarta’s event promises exclusive perks, Singapore’s ticket prices remain more affordable for many, highlighting ongoing concerns over regional ticket pricing.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s fan meetup tour in Jakarta and Singapore presents fans with unique choices—but at a notably higher cost in Jakarta. Fans are divided over ticket prices and benefits, with some opting to attend the Singapore event for a more affordable experience.
