GenKRU: A Record-Breaking Reunion
Malaysian pop trio KRU—comprising brothers Datuk Norman, Datuk Yusry, and Edry Abdul Halim, made a triumphant return with their GenKRU concert series at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil. Initially planned for a single night on May 3, 2025, overwhelming demand led to the addition of three more shows on May 4, 10, and 11. Tickets for the initial concerts sold out rapidly, with 8,000 tickets snapped up in just 60 minutes, prompting the extension of the series.
Ticket2U: Official Ticketing Partner
Ticket2U served as the official ticketing platform for the GenKRU concert series, handling the overwhelming demand and ensuring a smooth, secure ticket purchasing experience for fans. Our system facilitated the rapid sale of thousands of tickets, playing a key role in the concert’s sold-out success.
To protect genuine fans and maintain fairness, Ticket2U implemented strict access control, including anti-bot measures during peak sales and advanced ticket verification to prevent fake tickets and eliminate scalping. This helped ensure that real fans got real tickets—safely and scalper-free.
Seamless Entry with Turnstile Check-In
To enhance the concert experience, Ticket2U implemented a turnstile check-in system at the venue. This technology allowed for quick and secure entry, minimizing wait times and ensuring a hassle-free process for attendees.
Making History with the Malaysia Book of Records
The GenKRU 2025 concert achieved two remarkable feats, earning dual entries in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR):
- Most Shows in a Single Concert Series by a Local Artist: KRU became the first Malaysian act to perform four consecutive sold-out shows at Axiata Arena on May 3, 4, 10, and 11, 2025, drawing over 30,000 fans.
- Most Concert Tickets Sold Out in an Hour: ICON Entertainment, the event organizer, was recognized for selling 8,000 tickets within 60 minutes of the initial release.
The records emphasize KRU’s ongoing appeal and ICON Entertainment’s exceptional event management, setting higher benchmarks in the Malaysian live music industry.
