US rapper Travis Scott's first performance in Türkiye on Sunday sparked widespread criticism, with fans complaining about the concert's length and the artist's limited interaction with the audience. The concert, held at Tersane Istanbul, had generated significant excitement for months and attracted thousands of attendees. However, despite high ticket prices, the brief performance left many concertgoers disappointed.

Late start, short show


According to attendees, Scott took the stage nearly an hour later than scheduled. Fans said the performance lasted only about 20 minutes, prompting criticism and boos from the audience. Some attendees also criticized Scott for appearing on stage with much of his face covered by clothing and accessories.


Ticket prices


The event had already drawn attention because of its high prices. Some ticket categories were reportedly priced at up to 50,000 Turkish liras (about $1,300), while resale prices were significantly higher. The event was promoted as one of Türkiye's most expensive music events.


Social media backlash


Following the concert, thousands of social media posts criticized the short duration and said audience expectations had not been met. Many users highlighted Scott's limited interaction with the crowd, with the concert's length emerging as the most frequently criticized aspect.
