American teens and K-pop fans sabotaged Trump's Tulsa rally by reserving tickets by the hundreds with no intention of attending, Twitter users claim


Social media users are claiming teens and K-pop fans reserved tickets to the rally with no intention of attending

Political strategist Steve Schmidt said his daughter and her friends reserved hundreds of tickets

Twitter users were quick to reply that their children also sabotaged the rally

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said: '... you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations'

There were thousands of empty seats at the 19,000 seat BOK Center

1. I think there are moles in Trump's campaign who are ripping him off

[Blue Owl]

2. Hey Red Don there's some fake shit for you to have fun with

n/t

[FM123]

3. I just love how creative our young folks are!

[malaise]

14. This is fabulous

[Phoenix61]

4. Never underestimate the resourcefulness of

a bunch of bored teenagers. They are the future of protesting and they make me so proud!

[tblue37]

5. A few hundred--even a few thousand, even 100,000 or 700,000--- wouldn't cause a half empty arena if

There had really been 1,000,000 reserved.

[Mariana]

40. I wonder how many wanted to go but didn't bother

because they figured they'd have no chance to get inside. I imagine there were some.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Teens to Trump "Not in my house!"

Social media is their territory.

[onetexan]

7. Were the tickets free or did they have to pay for them?

[tavernier]

16. Free

Which translates to free-for-all, to teenagers, LOL

[rsdsharp]

8. I don't doubt for a minute that this happened.

That said, admission is first come first served. It’s not like there were only 19,000 tickets available. The campaign will make tickets available on request, preferring to over “sell” the arena. I doubt they sent out 800,000 tickets, but I’m wiling to bet there were far more tickets than seats available.

The real point isn’t that Trumpers couldn’t get seats. It’s that there were no where near enough of his supporters who wanted seats to fill the arena.

[Nevilledog]

10. +1

[Hav]

17. It's important to stress that

Some make it appear as if the empty stadium was the result of a prank when the truth is that not enough Trumpers bothered to show up. The overflow arena is empty. The 800k was inflated, of course, but it was done by both sides. But those Dems "ordering" tickets didn't stop one Maggat from attending.

[rsdsharp]

19. I don't think both sides inflate their projected

attendance numbers. That politics 101: Under promise and over perform.

[Mariana]

41. They made the Trump campaign look like utter fools.

Bragging over and over again that the place was going to be jammed full, and setting up another stage outside because they thought there would be tens of thousands who couldn't get in. They look really stupid now.

Also, I bet a bunch of Trump fans wanted to go and didn't, because of the stories of huge numbers of tickets issued and people camped outside for days. They figured they'd never get inside, so they stayed home and watched it on teevee instead.

[Alex4Martinez]

9. I ordered a fake ticket. Only 10,500 showed up out of 19,190 seats.

My estimate, empty seats upper and lower decks both.

And there are more seats in the mostly empty upper deck than lower. There might be fewer than 10,000 there today.

[uponit7771]

15. +1, two thirds full is giving WAY too much and no overflow. Spoofed tickets don't explain that

[Hotler]

11. If this didn't happen would more trumpers have showed up? nt

[Hav]

18. No, all those who wanted to attend are there. (n/t)

[yaesu]

28. the main thing was getting the tRUMP peaple to think they were getting this "yuge" crowd

so they would look foolish after bragging about it, mission accomplished.

[Andy823]

38. Exactly! nt

[Mariana]

42. I think so.

I think a bunch stayed home because they didn't believe they had any shot at getting inside.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Regardless, the magats failed to show.

Trump's popularity is vastly overstated. And now the world sees it. No excuses.

[uponit7771]

13. No, the overflow was empty and it didn't need tickets. Spoofing wouldn't get 10,000 tickets either

... and if it did there's still the overflow being empty.

If there wasn't a logistics issue here in ... THE ... deepest reddest state in the union then there's something wrong.

20. Proud KPop Fan here

We are enormous. Tweets of pictures, by a fan, can get 50k likes. Let alone when banding together for a cause.

We regularly crash sites and systems. Not on purpose, its just that big of a group.

Also 20+% of some fandoms are 35 to 50 age demographic. Surprising but true.

AOC just tweeted a thank you.
A woman said "youre thanking 12 year olds and foreign interference? " She is getting blown up. You can't wade in without some research, or you may get annihilated.

34. sorry to say i had to google k-pop when i read (earlier tonight) what some of the

fans did.

went on youtube and watched a bit of this video
talked to my daughter (in her early 30s) and asked her if she was familiar with k-pop. ("not really" ) i said i think she would have liked it when she was younger--i gave her my lame point of reference & said it's kind of like a cross between that girl you liked, mandy somebody (moore) and sailor moon. it's fun.

[leighbythesea2]

35. It's pretty fun

They're hardworking. It's an entity unto itself. And once you decide you like it. It becomes a rabbit hole.

Iin 2017, I was to do a field trip with my master's program to Seoul. I decided to do some pop culture research. And that was the beginning......


This Carpool Karaoke gives you a sense of personalties. And has created fans itself. Pure fun.

[crickets]

44. You're not kidding about pure fun.

I thought I would just watch a minute or two, but I got caught up in it and enjoyed the whole thing. They are adorable! Thanks for posting that, leigh. 😍

[leighbythesea2]

45. Glad you liked

Corden is so funny himself. So many groups, maybe a girl group could be on show in future.

[BadgerMom]

21. So much for the genius of Parscale!

[Archetypist]

22. I guess that China

is not going to help Trump then, considering TikTok's Chinese ties. Otherwise they could have stopped these K-pop fans. What a delicious irony.

[Sogo]

23. I just f-ing hope those kids who are old enough VOTE!

Damn, we need them!!

[SunSeeker]

24. LOL

[NotHardly]

25. Remind me to send a nice present to them...;)

[yaesu]

26. who wants to bet that tRump goes after Barr to prosecute the kids that that did this

I plan on joining them when the next rally is announced, claim me and a 1000 friends are attending. Those kids made my week.

[Thekaspervote]

32. This is who we need in the next generation of political leaders

No drama...just action

[Mariana]

43. I wonder if there will even be a next rally.

Trump sure looked dejected last night.

[WonderGrunion]

27. Even if they were responsible for 95% of ticket requests

There would still be 50,000 attending. That alone should have filled his arena and overflow area. Trump just doesn't draw a crowd anymore.

[leighbythesea2]

29. I have never laughed so hard

@ my twitter timeline as tonight. To follow political people and kpop makes for an interesting feed.

They're converging and it's magical. So, funny.

Yes, plenty are voting age and registered. That would be a worthy project of data collection...

[smirkymonkey]

30. I love these kids!

And if they are not old enough to vote yet, they will be soon. They are giving me hope for the future.

[Thekaspervote]

31. I am sooo relieved this is over! Rally about the sz of previous. He's done, the dye is cast

President Biden 2020

[Thekaspervote]

33. And, even thou the kids snatched up

Had there been a crowd outside when it was obvious seats weren’t taken they would have let them in...that wasn’t the case

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

36. The toothless morons should be eternally grateful. How many lives were saved because

of this?

[Kid Berwyn]

37. Ratf*cking Science

Prof. Donald Segretti.

[Mr. Ected]

39. The Spawn of George Soros!

Maybe the right will have a new whipping boy after this.
