Addressing his fans during the show, Rema emphasised the importance of punctuality in fostering a strong and consistent fan-artist relationship. “From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you for getting my ticket, and spending your hard-earned money just to be here. You did your best to be here early, and that means a lot,” he said. He also urged fans to arrive on time for future shows, adding, “I don’t want anybody to feel like I’m a superstar trying to control people.
