The fact that Şebnem Ferah, one of the most important names in Turkish rock music, will return to the stage after a 6-year hiatus has created great excitement among music lovers. Fans wanting to buy tickets for Ferah's concert in Istanbul flocked to online ticket platforms the moment sales began. Due to the intense interest, queues stretching for kilometers formed, and serious access problems occurred in the system.
According to statements, more than 140 thousand people entered the online queue to obtain tickets. The waiting time for users reached approximately 2 hours. Many people experienced difficulties due to the platform slowing down and occasionally failing to return to the homepage.
Şebnem Ferah last met with her audience on March 7, 2020. With the announcement that she would break her long silence and give a concert in Istanbul, the intense interest had already manifested itself on social media before ticket sales began. While ticket prices started at 3,600 TL for the front of the stage and 2,500 TL for general admission, the concert seats were practically completely filled within minutes.
