When the Spice Girls announced they were coming back, everyone was totally gagged. Even though they weren't leaving the U.K, we were still excited. Even though Victoria Beckham didn't sign on, we were still excited. Even though the tickets sold out almost immediately and for a very pretty penny, we were still excited.

The First 'Spice Girls' Reunion Concert Was So Bad People Walked Out
So when Baby, Scary, Sporty, and Ginger Spice took the stage in Dublin on Friday night, years of repressed girl power was bubbling to the surface.
The ladies looked absolutely FANTASTIC and the crowd was ready to party.
However, Twitter soon became a hotbed for complaints in regards to the concert's technical difficulties.
One Twitter user, Sabrina Egerton, recorded a video of fans seated at the show because they couldn't hear a thing.
Fans seated at a Spice Girls concert? Oh HELL NAH.

You would think after touring for all those years they would have their sound system figured out and, for a big reunion, on point.
What is the purpose of attending a Spice Girls concert if you can't sing along and do their choreographed dance moves to their greatest hits????
All I would ever want in life is to dance and sing to "Stop." Is that too much to ask?!
When Twitter users got mad at Sabrina for not appreciating the show, she clapped back at haters reminding them how much she paid to be there.

SHE DIDN'T WANT THIS! NO ONE WANTED THIS!
Fans claimed the audio was perfect for the opening act, but went downhill once the girls came on stage.
Twitter user Yvonne Rossiter claimed the people around her were leaving because the sound was so bad.
Claire White was one of the concert-goers that left the show.
It must be pretty bad to leave after 30 minutes! Especially when shelling out all that dough for such a big evening.
Other major acts like Cold Play and Taylor Swift have performed at Croke Park in Dublin without any technical difficulties.
I'D BE SO UPSET IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME.
Of course, it's not our girls' fault the audio went so RUBBISH, if you will.

I'm sure they would have been so bummed to know thousands of adoring fans couldn't hear them!!!!
Some people took the opportunity to be a little ~catty~ on social media.
Which I don't agree with OR appreciate!
However, not every review of the concert was bad! Many fans had the time of their lives!

Hopefully they get all the technical difficulties sorted before their next show,
The Spice Girls have yet to comment on the complaints and are choosing to focus on ~good vibes only~.
They shared positive feedback from Twitter users from that night.
But the show must go on.
The gals are continuing their U.K. tour and just finished in Cardiff, Wales and were so excited about it despite the rainy weather.
WE LOVE THE SPICE GIRLS AND WANT THEM TO SUCCEED.
