✨ shinee breaks their own record ✨

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

after kicking it off this last weekend, it's been revealed (and confirmed) that shinee's current (fourth) japanese tour, shinee world 2016, is their largest japanese nationwide tour ever. the first sixteen stops of the tour, which will be held at various arenas throughout the country, was confirmed to have sold out this last week with the start of the tour. after this, it's been tentatively revealed that all four dome concerts have also sold out, with the exception of block / limited seating and global packages. though the exact number of attendees will not be confirmed until the tour has finished, the tentative number is 350,000 which sees the group breaking their own prior record. (310,000 with their last tour, shinee world 2014.) the article linked (though not translation by the person who tweeted it) also mentions how the total number of attendees for this tour will bring the total number of attendees of all of their tours in japan to roughly 1.2 million. it then elaborates on how this consolidates their leading position within the hallyu wave in japan, and how their popularity can be "enjoyed" with the likes of other leading korean groups in japan such as big bang and tvxq. congrats!

Proud to be part of those numbers! SHINee lives are always such a blast! Bbs deserve every little bit of recognition they are getting!
Anyone going to the Yoyogi and Tokyo Dome stops? ^^

so jelly of you!! i wanna go~ *sobs*

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Then come~~~ I can smuggle you into my room Lolol XD

I want to go to the Tokyo Dome ones but there's only global packages left and they're so expensive lmao.

Do you live in Japan? Idk if you've ever used this system or if you have reservations against it, but I buy tickets from resellers a lot, specially because I get to pick my seat then lol. I use a site called Ticket Camp, and I've never had any problems! The tickets are almost the normal price there too, just a bit more expensive.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Nope, I have friends living in Japan but idk if they can get me the tickets. I'll try that site you're mentioning, it has an online site?
I know there's also this shop in Harajuku where they re-sell tickets (I bought one for an Infinite concert in 2012) but most of the tickets sold there are too far away from the stage and it's not that worthy imo.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Yes, the website is this one! https://ticketcamp.net
For now, since no one has received their tickets yet, you can't know where you're going to sit... It's pure luck lol but around 2 weeks (if the tickets are printed on paper) or 3 days (if the tickets are QR codes, like all the shinee ones for the past 3 years at least) before the live you can buy them while knowing your seats too!

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh thank you very much <3 *__*. On one hand, waiting until just 3 days before the concert is very risky but on another hand I prefer to know where I'm going to sit because I don't want to be super far away from the stage again tbh. Call me petty but I want to see them closely and that they see me too if possible lol.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I totally get it! If I could choose, I'd like to be always in a close seat too hahahah XD too bad they get super expensive when the seats get known...
Also, idk if you've been to Tokyo done before, but basically everywhere is a bad seat there hahahaha XD even when I got kinda good arena seats last year, I still used my binoculars sometimes lol

Really wish I could have been apart of this milestone. Congrats to the boys and all the staff for working so hard for their concerts. Have a good time if you are going, get something for me, pretty please. :)

honestly im crying im so proud

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I can't believe all the dome concerts are sold out already. I could try to buy a global package but they're so damn expensive :(
I hope there are re-selling or something because I really want to see them in Japan.
I'm seriously so proud of them. People can say whatever they want but their popularity both in Korea and Japan is no joke.

WOW! all domes are sold out?? but japanese tour is just starting

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

the regular part of the tour sold out weeks before it actually started, it just wasn't confirmed until last week. apparently the fanclub seating for the dome concerts went on sale last month via lottery sales and sold out and a lot of fans weren't able to get tickets because of how high in demand they were. the regular ticketing went on sale last week and sold out super fast. global packages went on sale, like, half a day ago kst and 3/6 for kyocera are already sold out so.
