Popular Japanese artist, Hoshino Gen's performance faced unforeseen obstacles due to complications with electronic ticketing. Several fans were left bewildered and disappointed when glitches in the system prevented their entry into the venue. The issue has ignited widespread discussions on the reliability of digital ticketing systems in Japan and prompted event organizers to review their systems to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.

In Japan, live performances from popular musicians like Hoshino Gen are a significant aspect of the pop culture. As people move towards a technology-oriented age, electronic ticketing has become the norm. Thus, system glitches that result in fans being unable to watch their favorite artists perform can lead to severe backlash. This event has raised concerns about the reliability of the digital infrastructure supporting these systems.

In the US or EU, similar issues with electronic ticketing are also seen as significant problems. However, there's likely a more established discourse around blaming technology companies rather than artists or event organizers. This, coupled with a robust legal infrastructure around consumer rights, could lead to lawsuits against the companies involved.
