Fans who were waiting for SBS’s K-Pop Super Concert in America this Friday will have to wait a little longer as a postponement of the event was announced today.

It was announced on Absolute K-pop, “We regret to inform you that the SBS K-Pop Super Concert in America, scheduled to take place at the Home Depot Center this Friday, August 10, 2012, has been postponed to a later date. More details will be announced as soon as possible.”

It was soon followed up with the messages:

Tickets can be refunded on AXS.com or Hotdeal.KoreaDaily.com, depending on the method you used to purchase your tickets. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment we caused all of you. Please await an official letter of apology from SBS. More details regarding the postponed concert will be posted as soon as possible.”

and…

“Please hold on to your refunded tickets. We will make sure all those who have purchased tickets for the August 10, 2012 concert receive preferential ticketing options for the postponed concert.”

As the event was expected to have an amazing lineup of Girls’ Generation, MBLAQ, SHINee, Kara, 2PM, CN Blue, 2AM, SISTAR, and Secret, many K-Pop fans were saddened to hear the news of the postponement.

postponing a concert 4 days before it happens, nice.

Seriously? That's why I didn't buy BB tickets after I heard the concert was changed from one city to another cuz I was afraid they'd do that and I can't afford to waste fucking $700

they probably cancelled it cause everyone who lives in southern california isn't gonna drive their lazy asses to carson. including me. also, if it weren't for omona, i'd never even have known there was going to be a concert tbqh.

THIS, especially when I've seen all of the line up already. I would have like to at least see SHINee, MBLAQ, KARA, 2PM & CN Blue again.

I would have considered going had someone I have yet to see (Infinite at least) been added to the line up.

yeah i mean when it's just a korean network on their own (like KBS last autumn with the NY/NJ mix up) it never goes according to plan

If we're talking about last year's Chuseok Fest... Ticket debacle, venue debacle, artists arriving late, stampede, rude concert-goers, rude security--

It was was a hot mess.

From: [identity profile] cherrypop.livejournal.com
oh no, that one was a mess. getting tickets = horrible mess. server crashed. only a few could get tickets. google employees given 6 tickets each. some people refreshed the ticket page for hours continuously only to be told 6 hours later that the tickets had already sold out in the first 5 min. something that could have been announced way earlier. and then at the actual concert the line was long as fuck. most people had to watch from the grass. the security was a level of rude that i've never even seen. they made club bouncers look like cuddly teddy bears. i saw so much physical abuse of concert goers i wouldn't be surprised if the venue saw a lawsuit or two.

i'm still raging from lack of merch for both sm town LA's i've been too. the first one ok i guess i can understand how they won't have anything. but the latest one? after how nyc had merch? aw hale naw.

actually powerhouse is pretty unorganized as well.

From: [identity profile] luvey.livejournal.com
yeah i don't understand the lack of merchandise either. especially after pretty much everything sold out in NYC. there were still lines at the end of the show when security was kicking people out.

guess i'm thankful nyc didn't have that issue. although we didn't know IF we were going to have anything until that day. i don't understand powerhouse/sme's relationship with that matter, or the ticketing situation. i don't understand why they went back to powerhouse, there are others out there. i hope if they do come back to NYC powerhouse is no where to be found.

So glad I didn't buy tickets...you know I'd only have wasted like a $600 plane ticket.

how much were the tickets anyways? the lineup is smaller than the one for Sydney :P

Apparently up in the hundreds. And since I live on the east coast, this whole thing was a big pile of NOPE.

lol yer sydney costed about $300 i think but it was worth it i guess since a lot more people were coming

I feel so bad for those that are flying there. I was tempted but it costs too much to fly. These overseas concerts need to be better organized. They give such little notices
