When the website went live, patrons lined up ready to purchase tickets, creating a whole queue room with tens of thousands waiting. As a result, the available tickets sold out, leaving many hopefuls disappointed.
On Wednesday, 6 May, DJ Maphorisa addressed fans during Instagram and TikTok Live sessions, where he addressed cries for tickets. He expressed gratitude to the fans for the support. He claimed that almost 500,000 people were in the queue waiting to buy tickets.
He also explained that they had a strategy to accommodate those who get paid on the 15th and 25th of each month.
The Money Constant hitmaker left the decision-making to the fans, giving them two options. DJ Maphorisa asked fans to choose between adding a second date or releasing 40% of the remaining tickets.
At the end of the live, it was decided that the link would be reopened at 5 pm to sell the remaining 40% of tickets. Regardless of the decision, some fans were still pushing for a second Scorpion Kings Live date, which will only be decided once the tickets completely sell out.

In the comments, social media users weighed in with suggestions for day 2 and musicians they want to perform at the event.
Here are some of the comments:
jxjx23_ suggested:
“If you’re considering having a day 2, you can move the whole thing all together to Friday 25 Sept (like you did at Loftus) and use Saturday 26 Sept as a day 2. Makes it easier from an organising perspective.”
mtshalibandile commented:
“Please guys start a petition for Samthing Soweto to come and perform 🙏”
lesamatlala pleaded:
“Please release the remaining 40% tickets on the 25th to accommodate batho ba di 15, 20, 25. Already those who got paid on the 30th April got their chance to buy their tickets yesterday, please grant the same chance to rena ba di 15-20. Then, month end May open tickets for day 2. Also, if possible, perhaps the event could be moved to the following weekend ya long weekend for both day 1 and 2. 😔”
