#411entApologizeToGOT7. We are deeply hurt for how negatively this has affected GOT7 and urge @411ent to take accountability for their mishandling. Our boys shouldn’t have been made to feel the way they do and shouldn’t be the ones apologizing for things beyond their control. You’ve failed to provide the basic respect and care that every artist deserves. As artists who have consistently shown dedication and professionalism, GOT7 deserves to be treated with the utmost respect.

“can the artists changed the fan benefit that has been set up by the concert promoter?”
Answer is YES.
So please say and do something about this discrimination issue by @411ent , it’s not too late yet. @GOT7Official@GOT7@jaybnow_hr@marktuan@JacksonWang852@JINYOUNG@ChoiArs_YJ@BamBam1A@yugyeom

An Open Letter to GOT7 and 411 Entertainment

Dear GOT7,
On behalf of international Ahgase, I’m writing to express our deep disappointment and frustration regarding the ticketing process for GOT7’s concert at Rajamangala Stadium.
Like our Thai Ahgase counterparts, we have eagerly awaited an accessible opportunity to see GOT7 perform at Rajamangala Stadium. As members and organizers have previously stated, this concert is a special event since there won’t be a global tour in the foreseeable future. As members have said, this is a special event for all Ahgases.
However, the actions of the organizers (@411ent) and the behavior of some Thai Ahgase have left us international Ahgases feeling discouraged, discriminated against, and excluded.
Throughout the ticketing process, international fans have faced significant barriers that undermine the spirit of equality that GOT7 and Ahgase stand for. These include:
- Blocking of international IP addresses: During the *global* presale and ticketing *resale* phases, international IPs were systematically blocked, preventing fans outside Thailand from accessing tickets.
- The use of a **418 error code**—a deliberate signal that connection requests from overseas IPs are not processed—feels like a mockery of our efforts to support GOT7.
- Sudden changes to queueing rules: After tickets were sold, the organizers altered queueing regulations in ways that disproportionately disadvantaged international fans, further limiting our ability to participate fairly. This “locals first” treatment may also set a precedent in other countries.
- No English subtitles in the promo videos posted by @411ent, only Thai.
- Xenophobic and abusive behavior: Disturbingly, numerous Thai Ahgase have posted xenophobic tweets demanding that the concert be exclusively for Thai fans, creating a hostile environment for international Ahgases.
These actions and sentiments are not only disheartening but also stand in stark contrast to the values of GOT7. We believe there are additional instances of discrimination that further compound these issues, and we trust that you who value all Ahgases equally, do not condone such treatment.
We respectfully urge GOT7 to address these concerns by:
1. Investigating the discriminatory ticketing practices and ensuring future processes are inclusive and transparent for all fans.
2. Condemning xenophobic behavior within the fandom to foster a welcoming community for Ahgase worldwide.
3. Implementing measures to ensure international fans have equitable access to concert-related opportunities, including merchandise and presale benefits.
GOT7’s music and message have brought us together as a global family. GOT7 is a global group and we love you for being so diverse. We hope you will take swift action to ensure that all Ahgases, regardless of nationality, are treated with the respect and fairness we deserve.
With love and hope,
International Ahgases
