Helene Fischer: concert organizer defends itself against allegations

It was the first concert that Helene Fischer, 38, has played again since the corona crisis and her biggest so far. But not all of the 130,000 spectators were enthusiastic about the experience. The reason for this wasn’t even the rain, but the apparently inadequate service and the bad seats in the VIP area. After all, owners of such a ticket had to pay around 600 euros for it. A video that went viral after the concert in the Munich exhibition center shows angry visitors accusing the concert organizer of rip-off and complaining that Helene had sung playback. And also under a current Instagram posting by the company Leutgeb Entertainment there is criticism for poor organization and a lack of security measures. Now the concert organizer comments on the serious allegations.

“The concert was definitely live,” the organizer clarified when asked by “Bunte”. Regarding the apparently insufficient buffet in the VIP area, it was explained that “in the end there were small bottlenecks with individual dishes”. And further: “We had the VIP indoor area open much longer than stated so that people didn’t have to stand in the rain for too long.”

Helene Fischer: concert-goers are angry

Helene Fischer, 38, is back. On Saturday evening, August 20, 2022, she delighted around 130,000 fans at the concert in Munich. Especially the owners of a VIP ticket will remember this experience for a long time – but apparently not in a good way. The VIP visitors expected exclusive seats in the Messe Riem as well as a delicious buffet and drinks, an employee should personally assist them and they were guaranteed a parking space. The reality seemed to be different. A clip that went viral on TikTok shows angry concertgoers in the VIP area. “I’ve just complained, that can’t be,” scolds a man in a rain poncho about the organizer. He paid 1,300 euros for his two VIP tickets. He couldn’t see anything from his seat. So the angry gentleman is standing with numerous other fans in the pouring rain on a grandstand to watch the show from afar.

Another video on the platform shows the grazed buffet in the luxury area. “VIP Helene Fischer. What a rip-off,” the user writes about the clip in which he tries to get another meat dish, but that’s it, the kitchen staff then tells him. “It was worse than at the train station,” he says angrily. It is not clear whether the video was taken shortly before the kitchen closed. In another clip, however, the user admits: “I don’t think Helene Fischer can do anything for this mess. That goes to the organizer.”

Helene Fischer is planning a big tour in 2023, until then the organizers could try to make amends.
