plesantly surprised that most of the complaints i'm seeing are about how there's only 3 female artists. what a weak line-up for the price lmao. diamond price is more expensive than my car insurance for an entire year...

omona, will you be throwing your money at this concert or hoping it flops so kcon will realize they'll never sell out with these prices?

my friend is buying me a p1 combo ticket otherwise my ass would be trying for a p3 ticket on day 2 just to see nct and heize

i went to kcon day 1 last yr just for dean and shinee and ended up having an amazing time so hopefully i will have an equally good time this yr despite only being a fan of 3/12 acts

1500 dollars for those acts? I don't mean it in a rude way, but I would even think twice about dishing that kind of money for my faves and for a group only full concert.

Even $500 for those acts at kcon is pushing it; I'm actually expecting a poor turnout.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Didn't KCON NY have a lower turnout, too? I'm not surprised with those prices.

the lineup has been so weak on both coasts. i heard first night of nj was really empty and so they gave out so many free tickets for the second night. it's gonna happen again. compared to last year neither la nor nj have big "headliners." i mean last year they had like shinee and bts. why are the performers this year mostly rookies?? i guess at least vixx and girls day are in this one. and i guess seventeen could be big

idk. these ridic prices....$$$$

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to hear that. I skipped KCON NY because the lineup was so lacking.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

is there a single agency that hosts kpop concerts in north america that isnt completely incompetent and/or preposterously money hungry

[ssantigurrl.livejournal.com]

yikes those prices, i remember getting pit seats for only $100 kcon 2012 good ol days

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Keep it. Fans are better off watching a livestream of this tbh.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Those prices for THAT lineup? Lmao, they got y'all all types of fucked up. I enjoy VIXX and NCT 127, but not for no $100.

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

Are you guys mistaken for something? Those $1500 tickets only cost that much because you can hi touch with ALL the groups and also go backstage and take pictures with them. The pit tickets are like P1. I don't think $1500 is that ridiculous if you have to buy ~$1000 worth of CDs to get into fansigns for popular groups in korea. I went the very first year of kcon and I remember the hassle of getting tickets for hi touch... basically you had NO chance, at least this way you can pay your way for one.

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

i literally gasped "holy shit" out loud when i saw those prices.

wasn't there a rumor of some one big headlining this? guess that was very false lol.
(also some us promoter posted a teaser a few weeks ago, something about the biggest kpop act yet or something ... what happened with that? only thing i've seen recently is kard's new, but it couldn't have been them.)

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

that might have been Taeyang's US tour; that's the only big act that's been announced recently

[theharleyquinn.livejournal.com]

No shade, but that is an ODD line-up.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

1) wow, looks like a real sausage fest
2) how tf can anyone afford 1500 dollars

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

sometimes i just want kcon to flop so they'll finally change. prices are ridiculous and they're so focused on new boy groups for whatever reason

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the new york one flopped hard. I saw pics of the the first day and the stadium was literally half empty, so they ended up giving free ticks the next day (or so I've heard)

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

there is no way in hell this line up is worth $1500. i get that you probs get hi-touch but there isn't anyone exactly HUGE going so like

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

D&E already has overseas activities booked????

they just came back from army ... literally yesterday lol

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

literally who is checking for them rn... if sm were to throw any random, it should've been luna!! i can't imagine all the ppl excited for seventeen, astro, sf9, etc. also caring about super junior. there's too much kpop gen difference, i don't see how adding them holds any value

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Kcon lineup just keeps getting stale. No big group goes anymore.

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

nope, combo tickets go on sale tmrw and single tickets on monday
the only way there will be a lineup change is if there are visa problems or a scandal change like last yr when cnblue was replaced by eric nam and amber

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I honestly think american fans need to boycott kcon cuz this is ridiculous. I don't care about the benefits.

[donutism.livejournal.com]

But when is the sydney one announced tho I need to check if I want to go

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

the ppl saying these prices are reasonable bc of hi-touch like are we forgetting hi-touch is nothing but one second of eye contact and touching someone's germ infested hand!!! it's rly not that awesome of an incentive. maybe if groups did a special limited number private acoustic session, but not to touch their hands

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

i went to two fan engagements last yr and you're exactly right, you barely even have time to make eye contact w your fave before security is literally pushing you away from them so the person behind you can experience the same thing. it's even worse if the fan engagement starts late.

[garnetstar38.livejournal.com]

Hi-Touch seems creepy to me. I know it probably means a lot to some people but the thought of it creeps me out. I've seen the videos and it's like a cattle drive, the only thing missing is a whip.

I remember when K-Con was new nobody knew who most of the acts were. A lot of groups built their reputation or created buzz with a good performance at K-con. So in that sense it could still be worth it to people who are starting to stan the new gen groups and want to see what they have to offer live.

I'm waiting for K-Con to discover Orlando, Fl. IMO it's the perfect location for a K-Con. You have great weather and tons of other attractions fans and idols would love to experience. Can you imagine a Disney tie in? Sooo cute Disney and idols.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Yes @ your last paragraph (as long as it's in fall/winter because the weather is terrible in summer lol)

[cherrypop.livejournal.com]

Um.... The only group I'd be interested to see is Wanna One, and that's only because of Produce 101. So yeah. That's not a very enticing line up at all.

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

i wanna go to both days but damn thats money i dont have(that diamond ticket is more than my rent lawd) im trynna get 2 combos so prob gonna get p5 or just get sunday tickets ;; so expensive A

[cassieopia926.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry but there is NO WAY I would pay $1500 for KCon.

Those prices are ridiculous. Regardless of the lineup, that is just too much.

[tsubaki874.livejournal.com]

Considering I can use that money to fly to Seoul and see my favs no thanks kCON

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

Tempted to get eh cheapest just to see Wanna One and KARD

JK just saw the cheapest is $100. fuck that noise

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

It's 100 for both nights IIRC
