In December 2023, the Auckland, New Zealand concert was marred by controversy thanks to security issues with the venue Spark Arena and their security contractor Platform 4 who removed a couple who had paid for their seats after 2 men took those seats and refused to move. [5] So far, Spark Arena have refused to provide any compensation to the couple and are stonewalling any media attempts for information.
