DJ Maphorisa addressed fans on his Instagram Live, where he highlighted the cries from fans about the tickets. He thanked fans for the support, revealing almost 500 000 people were in the queue waiting to buy tickets.

On the live, he left the decision-making in the hands of the fans, giving them two options: add a second date or release 40% of the remaining tickets.
Set for September 19, the show is expected to draw over 80,000 fans, making it the biggest Amapiano concert ever staged.
