The ticketing process left many fans confused, with some fans reporting that they were charged for tickets, but their seats were not secured by the system. Others also say that while they received a payment confirmation email, they have yet to get a QR code or ticket reservation confirmation.

Fans expressed their disappointment in the online ticketing process saying the cinema should "do better" considering the expected influx of fans who wanted to get tickets.

Pero balik lang ako, we deserve better handling and ticketing system. Sana next time, ayusin niyo na SM. Sobrang pahirap. And please, ensure our safety during the show. That’s the least you can do. Most of us, ngayon na lang ulit papasok ng cinema.#PTDLIVEVIEWING pic.twitter.com/gmDuL4UoLL
