Criticism regarding the concert's sound quality has emerged, with some attendees questioning the audio setup. One critical post pointed out, "It’s like there’s no one inside. Hope Shen Shen sings louder next time. All the money went to buy water; is there any left for sound equipment?" This comment underscores the frustration some felt over the concert's acoustics, suggesting that the event did not meet all expectations.
The issue of ticket availability also sparked considerable discussion. "Very fortunate to have attended Zhou Shen's concert at Wukesong last August. The fight for tickets was fierce—blink, and they were gone. I went through many difficulties to finally see the concert," one post read. The user recounted the challenges faced in securing tickets and the lengths they went to attend, illustrating the high demand and competitive nature of acquiring seats. Fans who were unable to obtain tickets also expressed their disappointment.

"The most heartbreaking thing: Meiben sang, but there was no sound outside. The magazine is out, but I can't read it. The tour started, but I have no ticket," lamented a devoted follower. This sentiment was echoed by others who gathered outside venues, hoping to catch even a glimpse of the performance, despite not having tickets.
The dedication of Zhou Shen's fanbase is further evidenced by their actions during concerts. "We outside people are also in place at Meiben Square. Many people scared me when I arrived. Everyone knows you can't hear anything outside, but coming here is a ritual, a personal act," one user shared. Fans outside the venue even brought light signs to show their support, turning their presence into a significant part of the concert experience.
