This is more than ridiculous. International artists, even well known don't make them at more than 60€ (especially when if you're a bit lucky you find a seat even when you were supposed to be in the crowd)... 51€ for Homin... i'll have a lot of free time... i'm swearing since i woke up.

Swearing with you gurl !
It's disgusting seriously uu'

[itangeisha.livejournal.com]

I'm like 'oh, all this fuss for this.... FINALLY...'

[lenkaxchan.livejournal.com]

BoA wrote herself on twitter that she'll be in Toronto at that time filming for some movie or something.

does anyone know what's the difference between prestige seats for 111.50 euros and other prestige seats for 166.50 euros ? Is it only about goodies? and if so... how usuually these look like?

I so want to have that package soundcheck ticket, but it's way too expensive... ;__;

[itangeisha.livejournal.com]

I went to the zenith and i don't see the difference in the seats except how far you are from the stage.... vip were in front that's all i can figure out now.
and when the zenith is in 'big' mode there are some special seats but higher so you can't see properly.

well idgi. for me the best is the crowd because when the security isn't there you can just sit somewhere.

smtown paris twitter is fake ;)



I’m so broke… I guess I’ll go to the yellow area, a.k.a the jungle

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

Isn't the Yellow area good?

[cookiedealer.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA they're joking right? tell me they're joking...
Well, people will pay for it but it's clear that I'll not be going. I have a limit of 50€ for concerts and even that would require some thinking...

AT LEAST YOU GET SMTOWN!!!

[end-of-fayte.livejournal.com]

seriously if you can afford it go.
Go for the little people (like me) who live in Australia and will probably have to fly to s.korea to see SMTown.

And if that hasnt convinced you. Lee Taemin beckoning you should seal the deal.

[hsj-jumpstart.livejournal.com]

why weren't there vip packages for all the other shows T_____T

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

why it doesn't surprise me at all?...

[rurouneko.livejournal.com]

someone pls donate me money so I can buy the soundcheck ticket.

God I'm so torn right now...

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

If I were to get a package, it'll be either the VIP package or the Prestige package.. but VIP assigned seats aren't that bad either.

But the Soundcheck package is too much for me.
Anyone else going?


Fuck, I don't even know when my exams will be yet and I'm gonna be devestated if it's on the day of the concert cause I'm traveling to see this. gdi.

Re: God I'm so torn right now...

[lenkaxchan.livejournal.com]

I'm going, but I still dont know which tickets I should buy... and where to stay... ugh and there's so little time left to organize everything OTL

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

LOL THOSE PRICES!!

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

They believed they were the Cirque du Soleil or Riverdance? Seriously. And even them, at the most, the prices are 90€. And it's the VIP seats.

WTH? Never been more happyt to not like that much the SM groups.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

are you bullshitting me, sm? =0= i knew it was around the 200mark but damn, they better organize a fanmeet for the time of rehearsals...jskfhdjksajsdg.

[jayceeee.livejournal.com]

Package Soundcheck 221.50 : ticket to be there for the artists' rehearsals

this sounds incredibly tempting OH MAN.

[kanintallrik.livejournal.com]

IKR.

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

lol wow. and i thought the USA got trolled. Honestly I think not having an east coast concert is better than having one I can't afford.

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

It would kill me if I knew there was an east coast concert and I couldn't afford it.

[gundae.livejournal.com]

just to get there it will cost me about 150 euros.
I think I can't afford it.. FML
they are going to be so close and I still won't be able to see them.

[herocroco.livejournal.com]

Yeah me too... it would cost me 100 euros to get there by thalys... then IDK which tickets to get cuz i obviously dislike being in the crowd == ..... + hotel+food? + exams on tuesday (after smtown ; very important one... )
i guess i'll save up for YG concert... and then buy the soundcheck ticket for them hahahahaha

i've never been so happy no to be a SM stan ... u.u

aaah but.... i want to see Heechul and Leeteuk before they head to Army !

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

I don't know why people are surprised by these prices. These kpop gigs are always ridiculously priced, particularly SM's.

[canttakeabreath.livejournal.com]

yeah but these are the same prices that were listed for LA only the denomination here is in euros. it's about 1 euro to 1.5 usd right, meaning that for me (andother european stans), the cheapest ticket is about 1.5 times what everyone else paid for SMTOWN LA.

i don't know about everyone else who's bitching or surprised, but this really was quite a surprise for me. adding in eurostar tickets and a place to stay overnight in paris?!...ngl it'll be a fortune.

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

lol. Issue sorted.

[ayaisdifferent.livejournal.com]

the prices are crazy...no food for the next months
but that's probably the only chance to see them in my live
so i'll try to go anyways

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

WHAT WE GOT NONE OF THIS FANCY STUFF IN LA.

LE BUTTHURT.

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

before anyone lectures me I am jokin


kinda

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not going :(

[kimiko1387.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed SME, but taking into consideration the costs to get there (charter jets and getting half way across the globe ain't cheap, yo)...I'm not surprised.

I still think they'll get a decent turn out though.

[vvvanilla.livejournal.com]

kpop companies really price crazy high even for concerts in asian countries. pricier than foreign acts like lady gaga, katy perry, etc. 144.50 euros is actually cheaper than the VIP ticket for the suju concert here in the philippines. the 2NE1 concert is priced about the same. they really are milking the hallyu wave :(

[avieyal.livejournal.com]

exactly. These are pretty much the same prices for any given Kpop gig in KL. I thought generally KL gets the most expensive tickets but I guess Philipines wins at the suju one? lol. Idek how much the KL suju gig was..

Thailand is by far the cheapest in terms of prices, somehow. and they always get awesome fanmeets etc. If your kpop group has a show in Bangkok always try to go to that one, the VIP tix will almost always be cheaper lol

[kanintallrik.livejournal.com]

does anybody know how many tickets there are? how quick do we have to be?

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it will be quick. Even with those prices. Zenith contains ~ 5000 seats.

[bi-bing-ka.livejournal.com]

I'd like to say that's way too expensive and it is but if they ever came to my city, I would probably shell out a couple of hundred - only because it's a once a year thing and who knows if they'll ever come back.

[junhiya.livejournal.com]

God the packages are so tempting but this is so fucking expensive.
I'm so torn rn.

[farda.livejournal.com]

holy fuck those prices. if i were in lisbon in june i would try to fly over, but that's right in the middle of my summer classes. buh. still can't believe this is all together more expensive than it was to attend 'rock in rio' for an entire weekend and see elton john. jfc.

going to go find a virgin to sacrifice in hopes of an american east coast concert/tour.
i wonder how many virgins SM would require to have a concert in atlanta.
