Despite the success of ticket sales for American singer Taylor Swift’s concerts in Brazil, which began last weekend in Rio de Janeiro, T4F (SHOW3) or Time For Fun common shares fell 9.65% (R $2.06). (20). The withdrawal was largely due to the controversy surrounding the events.
On Friday (17), the day the first concert of the tour took place in RJ, a 23yearold fan fell ill at the concert hall, Nilton Santos Stadium, and later died of cardiovascular arrest.
There were numerous comments on social media blaming T4F for the tragedy, claiming the organizer failed to provide water in an environment with a temperature of more than 60°C. In addition, fans who attended the show also reported problems organizing the event, confusion in the queues and poor structure.
Following the criticism, T4F changed its stance and said it would allow access to plastic bottles as well as sealed water glasses at upcoming events. The company also said it will provide free water in queues and at all entrances and entrances to the stadium and inside.
On Saturday (18th) authorities at all levels of government asked for clarification. Rio Governor Claudio Castro (PLRJ) said civil police would investigate the case, while Justice Minister Flavio Dino ordered the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon) to take immediate action.
Following the problems, the singer’s show scheduled for Saturday was postponed until this Monday as there were already thousands of people in the stadium causing even more anger and negative comments. T4F opened up the possibility of a refund for fans who were going to attend the show on Saturday and are unable to attend today.
