Big Bang's 'Alive' Tour Stops In US Sell Out, Fans Demand More Shows

[asiapopsecret.livejournal.com]

Big Bang sold out all 24,000 tickets to its U.S. concerts in less than two hours, reflecting their growing popularity around the world.

According to YG Entertainment, all 24,000 tickets were sold out in less than two hours after they were made available on September 22. The tickets were for the group’s “Big Bang Alive Galaxy Tour 2012” concerts in California and New Jersey.

YG Entertainment said it was particularly impressive considering the fact that Big Bang has never promoted in the States. Also, it is the second consecutive sellout concert for Big Bang since their December performance in Hong Kong, where all 30,000 tickets were gone in a few hours.

“We’re considering more concerts after seeing explosive responses in New York and Hong Kong,” YG Entertainment said.

Big Bang is scheduled to hold concerts at the Honda Center in California on November 3, and the Prudential Center in New Jersey on November 9. Before heading off to the States, Big Bang will first perform in Singapore on September 28.

OP is forever upset rn at not getting tickets asap

tickets will be available at box office the day of the show, so dont fret and think you should pay 500 dollars for a premium platinum whatever the fuck ticket... unless that gives you peace of mind til then

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

will they? where did you hear about it? and do they have them anytime earlier?

[soramai.livejournal.com]

tssss... nothing in Europe.

edit: good job op for your first post! :)

[asiapopsecret.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the kind words. :3 I was pretty excited, ngl. :D

[mizzyoung.livejournal.com]

I just hope YG isn't giving false hope to the VIPs that didn't get tickets. I don't trust his promises.

[murderistx.livejournal.com]

OP, i feel you.

[zcbballchik13.livejournal.com]

My friend and I waited exactly until it was 10 am for the tickets to become available and right at 10 they were already sold out!!! except for the nosebleed seats. -_-

but we managed to get VIP TICKETS from stubhub..it was pretty overpriced, but this will probably be the last and only concert i will i ever go to for the next 2 years. but it should be worth it. (:

[mizzyoung.livejournal.com]

Apparently a lot of people called in an hour before and got tickets from ticketmaster. I remember seeing posts about that on tumblr.

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

i bought a ticket (83 bucks man) and i don't even like them that much, but my friends were going.

WHO ELSE IS GOING TO THE NEWARK SHOW?
( and anyone thats not asian going? lol)

[mizzyoung.livejournal.com]

I AM! Will be chillin' in VIP. 'Tis my first concert so I splurged.

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

btw it makes me laugh how they always say NY, not NJ. xD

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

i feel your pain OP

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

i'm mad because they could at least be consistent about releasing batches vs. not doing so

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

they should have a show in that place that just opened in Brooklyn

(one can wish)

[xdaisyxlovesxbb.livejournal.com]

thats what i said too lol.

hopefully maybe next time they will go there. :]

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I'm sure people bulk bought some tickets to flog them for higher prices so you could still get a ticket.

[burger.livejournal.com]

lol this. I hate when ppl do this and sell them for like a 500% markup but it's sometimes the only way you can get a ticket!

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I got my VIP tickets for LA but it was seriously a battle...took me like 14-16 attempts and getting the "no seats available at this price" page

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

heeeyyy im going VIP too

[beauty0fparting.livejournal.com]

My sister and I were there at 10:00:00 and could not get a single VIP ticket. They were gone within 2-3 minutes. I got so effin mad only to find out scalpers were already in stubhub selling more than triple the price within the first hour. I didn't want to give scalpers the satisfaction of screwing people so I said fuck it and bought Lady Gaga and The Script tickets instead. I'm seeing The Script on the 18th! HAH!

If they do, indeed, set another date for a concert in the United States, it would be amazing if they did so in the central United States. There was absolutely no way that I was going to be able to afford plane tickets, a hotel room, plus the concert tickets, as I live in the south.

I've been waiting for four years to see Big Bang, though, so I'm sure that I can wait longer until they come here again. Maybe by then, my ridiculously poor self will have money!

[linzer-jello.livejournal.com]

How about a Chicago show?

[lishalishalisha.livejournal.com]

It's so conveniently located too, Detroit, like, half of the midwest, Canada, can get here easier then, like, Cali or New Jersey ;;

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

DC concert please

[leana9101.livejournal.com]

this please

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Both of those venues can hold a lot more people so they should probably just add some seats (as considering the price of the tickets I doubt that many people are able to go twice and or that there were 12,000 people for both of the venues who were left without a ticket.)

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

getting tickets were a fuckin' nightmare but at least i got them. i feel SO SORRY for the ppl who missed out because of scalpers and shady shit by ticketmaster. it pisses me off because they say so refunds or exchanges but ur gonna sell tickets before they're supposed to go on sale?

ok.

i'm not buying from them again if i can help it.

i have an extra ticket and i'm gonna sell if my cousin decides not to come with. i'll def post about it here and on ygbigbang.

[purechy914.livejournal.com]

Please put Toronto back on the city list -.- Gave us Canadians false hope when your concert director said they were coming

[a4lem.livejournal.com]

Lol I bought tickets to the NJ concert, but hey if there'll be a Toronto one, I'm definitely going to be there! Just don't see it happening. =/

[shortysc22.livejournal.com]

I tried getting tickets at 10:05 AM and I had no problem finding tickets, then again I was looking at the Newark show.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

NJ show section 7! cant wait omg!! :DD if YG adds another date im selling this tix and getting VIP somehow, someway! I won't lose one again like I did last time ); w/e im satisfied with lower

[mapthesoul.livejournal.com]

i would really love a san francisco show 8(

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

who's going to the LA show VIP?

[gyang.livejournal.com]

Got VIP. Unfortunately, no one else I know got them =/

[xfragments.livejournal.com]

i managed to get 2 VIP tickets for me & my friend. they didn't sell out in like 10 minutes, i had to refresh the thing and re-look for tickets like 5 times before they found the VIP tickets cause you know how ticketmaster is. i was actually on the phone with the woman while doing it online and she's like "VIPs are sold out" but when she said that, they showed up online, thank god.

[aifurikuri.livejournal.com]

Come to SPAC! Lol, but seriously, I haven't even decided on going and its sold out! T_T If they chose another day, can they have it on a Saturday please!
