President Trump’s campaign promised huge crowds at his rally in Tulsa, Okla., on Saturday, but it failed to deliver. Hundreds of teenage TikTok users and K-pop fans say they’re at least partially responsible.
Brad Parscale, the chairman of Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign, posted on Twitter on Monday that the campaign had fielded more than one million ticket requests, but reporters at the event noted the attendance was lower than expected. The campaign also canceled planned events outside the rally for an anticipated overflow crowd that did not materialize.
Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, said protesters stopped supporters from entering the rally, held at the BOK Center, which has a 19,000-seat capacity. Reporters present said there were few protests.
TikTok users and fans of Korean pop music groups claimed to have registered potentially hundreds of thousands of tickets for Mr. Trump’s campaign rally as a prank. After the Trump campaign’s official account @TeamTrump posted a tweet asking supporters to register for free tickets using their phones on June 11, K-pop fan accounts began sharing the information with followers, encouraging them to register for the rally — and then not show.
The trend quickly spread on TikTok, where videos with millions of views instructed viewers to do the same, as CNN reported on Tuesday. “Oh no, I signed up for a Trump rally, and I can’t go,” one woman joked, along with a fake cough, in a TikTok posted on June 15.
Thousands of other users posted similar tweets and videos to TikTok that racked up millions of views. Representatives for TikTok did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

This has admirably served to illustrate the extent to which public schools have indoctrinated the kids entrusted to them in communist thought and the lack of responsibility in teens who long should have demonstrated some. Can you imagine these idiots voting on issues and candidates which affect us all? I think the voting age should be restored to at least 21. And the perpetual adolescent low IQ AOC was thrilled to see how her peeps—the low IQ teens of America—jammed up the Trump rally. Well, gurrl, I am quite sure that ain’t gonna happen a second time. While your Biden was sitting in an empty room, still plenty of Trump supporters made it over the electronic and physical hurdles you dummocrap/commie rabble attempted to stop them with. What they did was equivalent to the Black Panthers surrounding voting places years ago, which is absolutely not to be tolerated.
Good idea! Make it a Trump campaign donation.
TicTok and K Pop may have broken federal law for starters....if these NITS can do this, think what they have in store for the coming election.....Back to the old ways where people who want a say in our laws must have skin in the game and age should matter; maturity should matter and a clean citizen record plus ID should be law. Those “pranksters” were tearing up their country...all should be made felons...their “prank” was criminal.
Thanks .
The USPS prevents id fraud this way .
I like this suggestion by another poster:
Just a $1 on a credit card like the post office does to verify identity
Refund upon collecting ticket .
That will end all scams .
Not the brightest bulbs. They are publicly admitting to wire fraud. That will get you 30 years in a federal prison.
“They are publicly admitting to wire fraud.”
These people are liars and will just say, “Yes, I live in Hawaii and intended to go to the Trump Rally in Tulsa, but could not find a nonstop flight from Honolulu to Tulsa.”
If not charged an investigation would expose their network.
TikTok originates in China. It is used by the CCP to spy on and monitor people.
It was a great rally, but we got punked and need to face it and be prepared for next time.
Somehow I think the Secret Service wants the current setup.
Same thing happened to my husband and me when we *tried* to attend George W. Bush's inauguration in 2004. The hard-core leftists were blocking ALL security gates. We had legitimate tickets that we got from our Congressman for 2 seats at the inauguration, but we never were able to get in because of all the vile, unwashed commies. We ended up walking down the street to some hotel, and watched the inauguration on a TV in the lobby with some other people.
I'm sure it was all sweetness and light for Hussein's two inaugurations. Nobody on "our side" showed up in the hundreds of thousands to block entrances and gates, and create chaos for the event. I *hate* these people!!
Why is it no one gets upset at the 900,000 or so Trump supporters who requested tickets but didn’t bother to show up?
Well said, Sarah! Totally agree. Every Presidential election in this country has gotten scarier and scarier over the years. We're up against *hard-core Marxists* now. God help us if President Trump doesn't win on November 3rd.
And vote by mail MUST be stopped!!
Make the fee refundable, paid to a credit card as people exit the rally after its over. Make it a large enough amount to discourage fakes, and make it well known that unrefunded registrations will go to the Trump campaign in the name of the cardholder.
Coronavirus was an overblown joke! Spare me the BS studies and horror stories! People lost everything they had due to this overhyped bug, and people had important, possibly lifesaving surgeries put off for this bug!
Your “experts” were WRONG about every facet of this fraud! We no longer wish to hear the warnings and doom and gloom predictions by the creeps who were wrong about everything!
Once again liberals prove they are lying scum.
TikTok is 100% owned by China.
