The concert of Israel Mbonyi in Belgium has been postponed due to low ticket sales, moving it from a large venue to a smaller one. Originally scheduled for July 8, 2024, the event was supposed to take place at Birmingham Palace, where Mbonyi performed last year.
The decision to change venues was prompted by the continued sluggish sales of tickets. Justin Karekezi, the head of Team Production organizing major concerts in Belgium, explained that they opted to downsize to a smaller venue due to the slow ticket sales. He noted that despite efforts, VIP tickets, which were initially priced higher, remained largely unsold, while regular tickets were selling at a slower rate.
The concert was initially planned to be held at a venue known as Docks or Dome Events Hall in the city of Brussels. However, due to the ongoing challenges with ticket sales, they made the decision to move to a smaller venue.
This setback comes after Mbonyi's successful concert in 2023, where he managed to attract a large audience, with VIP tickets selling out and regular tickets also in high demand.
