Surry Aussie Shawols - NO SHINEE FOR YOU~

[erikarafaela.livejournal.com]

We have previously reported that SHINee will have a concert in Australia. However, it seems like Australian Shawols will have to depend on luck to see SHINee live, because no concert tickets are being exposed to the public.

Arirang will be picking out 100 winners and awarding them double passes to the concert. All other seats will go to sponsors and institutions and only those with an invite will be able to attend. In addition, JK Entertainment has stated that the venue can only hold 2,000 people.

Many Australian Shawols are incredibly disappointed with this news, as this might have been their only chance to see the boys live. Were you planning to attend the concert?

this was as close to kpop I was ever going get (in the near future). I would have loved to see them live...
too bad I can't speak korean, I might have just volunteered - did anyone join the Arirang contest?
if I win I have no one I want to take, I want to take someone that will actually appreciate & enjoy it...

[x3sarang.livejournal.com]

/Applies to be a volunteer instead; totally didn't see the 'has to be fluent in Korean' line

[cette-amour.livejournal.com]

[erikarafaela.livejournal.com]

Because of your dedication I hope you win

[freed-misery.livejournal.com]

"crossing< fingers, eyes, etc."

I lol'd so hard ._.

[peachorangepuff.livejournal.com]

RAGING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!
I entered the contest... doubtful I'll win but...

[geekpants.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Kind of expected tbh seeing as Kpop is irrelevant in Australia, but still ):

[supersonicjaz.livejournal.com]

So fucking true. It's ridiculous. And this whole winning tickets shit is even more pathetic. It's supposed to be promoting Korean talent but oh, only 200 people can see. Grr.

[pinkscratch.livejournal.com]

yep Arirang did the same thing here in Indonesia.. i wus like WTH WTF I WANT TO WATCH SHINEE TOO IT'S NOT FAIR :s there were like 3 rounds of submission tho, the 100 ppl got to sit in front of the stage,and the 2nd and 3rd got to watch on the tribune..

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

I don't even like SHINee that much, but this sucks.

[jxsica.livejournal.com]

I'm so bummed about this.
Mainly because it was put out there as if it'd be a concert the general public could actually get tickets for...
I wish they'd said from the start that it would be a small invite-only thing.

[tothechangmin.livejournal.com]

)))': i thought of you the moment i got news of this. it's so ridiculous, ugh.
did you enter?

[rhett.livejournal.com]

i live interstate and i was never intending to go but that sucks total arse :/

[ballad.livejournal.com]

ah it's like what happen in my country right?
the draw and such I guess there will be a special
page for the event too :p

P.S.: Ilov ethe gifs&hearts

[jxsica.livejournal.com]

Btw someone from Omona better be one of those 100 ticket winners.

We gotta get at least one of us in there.

[erikarafaela.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[hillando.livejournal.com]

I'm nowhere near Australia but if they ever came to Europe and this happened I would be screaming bloody murder. :((((

I understand the small venue, but why only 200 "normal" people can go? I hope all those sponsors etc aren't going to be mood killers. I want Shinee to have better memories of Aus than an awkward mini-concert full of officials.

I hope they have at least a day to do tourist-y things

[after-an.livejournal.com]

Ugh arirang, you suck balls. *crying forever*

[untilsally.livejournal.com]

Urgh. Why are Kpop concerts NEVER booked/ticketed normally? When SHINee came to HK they played at a shopping mall where you had to spend so much in the shops to win tickets, in Singapore events always seem to be related to a mobile phone or a credit card. When FTIsland went to HK it was a case of finding the promoter's email (GMAIL!!!) address and sending a balance transfer to their account to buy tickets.

It makes them all seem kinda unprofessional.
