“It honestly makes me so sad…”
Koreaboo
JUSTB is attempting a novel approach to funding their potential U.S. tour, and it’s sparking a wave of concern among dedicated fans.
The group recently announced plans for a U.S. tour funded through a crowdfunding model, asking fans to essentially pre-purchase tickets during a two-week window, with the tour’s viability dependent on selling at least 100 tickets—and dates remain unconfirmed.
JUSTB is crowdfunding their next tour and have already confirmed 2 cities!!

Many fans expressed sadness and concern that the talented group is resorting to crowdfunding to make a tour feasible, while others admired their determination in an industry where numerous artists are canceling shows due to low ticket sales.

Concerns also surfaced on X regarding the practicality of the crowdfunding approach, particularly in the U.S. One user pointed out that if only a handful of cities reach the 100-ticket threshold, a full tour might not be financially viable, especially considering recent visa challenges for international artists.
this is honestly so silly so if only 2 cities reach 100 tickets you’re gonna send them on a two city tour? hfjdjsjs make it make sense pic.twitter.com/hzux29ZvhO

The 100 requirement seems unrealistic for a multi city tour if only 2-3 cities reach the goal, will the tour proceed as a limited engagement or will it be canceled entirely? We need more transparency on how this project remains viable if most cities fall just short of the mark https://t.co/7YawTH1uoZ

Fans also questioned the $139 price tag for a ticket to a tour that isn’t yet confirmed, and for which no dates have been announced, making it difficult to commit financially.
i’m sorry i am not dropping $139 on a concert ticket when that concert is not even 100% happening and there’s not even a vague timeframe that’s been announced. two tours in a row justb has held their only midwestern show on my club’s showcase day i am not risking it again 😭

Paying $139 for a hypothetical tour stop is CRAZY. I was talking to my sister about it earlier. Like I can see where they were coming from but… idk. Like what you said, what if only 2 cities reach 100 tickets. That’s not a tour that’s a get together 😅

JUSTB isn’t the first group to explore this funding model; 1verse has also utilized crowdfunding for their concerts.
