Some who missed out left comments on the distributor’s social media page requesting additional seating.
Additional Seats Added Due to High Demand

In response to the many comments from people unable to purchase tickets, she announced they had successfully added some extra seats from the invited guests hall.
“Ne Zha 2 won’t have advance screenings, but we’ve added extra seats for the premiere. Those who want tickets should act quickly. If you still can’t get tickets, don’t lose heart. The public only needs to wait a few more days to see the official release of the film.”
