VIP tickets could at least [sic] a little cheaper," continued the fan.

Another fan on tiktok wrote , "I have just returned from the portals of Melanie Martinez and a little upset AB how the VIP meeting and salvation were generated.

Someone else posted In addition to their video, "our interaction with Ai Melanie :) I cannot imagine what it would have felt if we were to meet her."
