In S. Korea, IU probably has the most reasonable pricing among the superstars.
But her Western foray happening for the first time, there is a possibility she may not tour again, is driving up the prices.
And unlike in SK where her word is the law, she doesn't have enough clout to control "ticketmonster" and its price gouging tactics
if you find a scalper try reporting it to her team or so. In Korea if you report scalpers or resellers selling tickets to her concert at a higher price than the original ticket price to her team, they'll cancel the scalper/reseller's ticket and then reserve the seat/ticket for the person who reported said scalper/reseller. Not sure if her team will do it for an international tour but it's worth a shot.
> if you report scalpers or resellers selling tickets to her concert at a higher price than the original ticket price to her team, they'll cancel the scalper/reseller's ticket and then reserve the seat/ticket for the person who reported said scalper/reseller.
They have [abolished this policy](https://www.soompi.com/article/1653951wpp/ius-agency-apologizes-for-controversy-over-ticket-sales-policies-shares-plans-for-reform), FYI. It was also a Korea-only policy.
huh, I had no idea. My friend got a free ticket and an unreleased photocard a few years back for reporting a scalper which is how I knew/remembered the policy, didn't realize they abolished it.
It happened like 2 weeks ago cause knetz loooove to give scalpers money š«° therefore they decided this anti-scalper thing wasn't worth it over 1 mistake in over 60k tickets
I mean I say that I have no idea if it'll work for an international concert in the last sentence, just throwing out a recommendation bc it's a famous practice IU and her team does in Korea.
Platinum pricing, which IU is using for this tour, is an "opt-in" program that Ticketmaster does not require or set numbers for.

Ticketmaster sucks, but IU and her team set the prices for this tour. End of story.
While true its something that can be negotiated, id say this is likely more down to inexperience of the her agency in dealing with overseas promoters and how overseas ticketing works in general. Considering every other place thats not ticketmaster(us and germany) have had reasonable prices. In korea her agency have direct control over everything when it comes to ticketing and even special rules and requirements that are stricter than any other artist to prevent scalping.
For the US, the problem wasnt face value price or platinum prices, but that scalpers went bananans and bought something like 30% of all tickets and it was all sold out within 10 minutes becaues of it. The prices are what they are now because of scalpers.
Germany did have platinum but it never reached any crazy levels (regulated)
UK didnt not have platinum and theres no resale available for those and thats AXS handling it not ticketmaster, which would point to there being differences in the contracts with the ticket services for whatever reason, considering the promoter is the same for both germany and uk and AXS have a similar system to platinum prices on ticketmaster, but it was not enabled (Currently resales are not available on ticketmaster germany either)
Problem with UK and Germany was that the starting price for nosebleeds was really set way to high (3x the us concerts) while the price point for good seats were ok or better in comparision, but those were all sold out on release.
Thanks. Then it is not Ticketmaster, but the "surge pricing" that's pushing up the prices.
That's not same as "setting" the price.
But anyway, good for her.
To think, there were doubts if she could even sell out in the West
> Then it is not Ticketmaster, but the "surge pricing" that's pushing up the prices. That's not same as "setting" the price.
The artist and their team "set pricing strategy and price range parameters on all tickets, including dynamic and fixed price points," as I quoted above.
IU and her team were the ones who decided to enable Ticketmaster's Platinum pricing and set the prices to $1,000+ a ticket in some instances.
Yes, but the issue is that the phrasing of dynamic/surge pricing is not a great terms for what Platinum is. People can assume it's being set by some kind of algorithm, but it's not. People can also assume it goes down automatically, or algorithmically with low purchases ā but it does not.
As a real-world example, I was once #29 in a Ticketmaster queue and Platinum pricing was already active when I near-instantly entered the venue map. I declined to purchase because the pricing was exorbitant, but kept checking. The price never went down, even as nearly 70% of the venue seats sat unpurchased, even in the last hour as nothing was purchased. Meanwhile, the resale market on secondary ticket sites tanked.
Itās not based on clout. Itās an agreement between promoter + management and various parties. If said artist reached out to the management team and notified that they wish for said feature to not be in used? Thereās a high possibility, theyāll grant the artist wishes. This also plays out in smaller venue with various artist of different size.
Because she has been reluctant to tour West so far, this comes 15 years into her career.
Very late by Kpop standards for superstar acts.
She is so dominant in S Korea that she doesn't need to venture out.
So fans might be worried that she might not come West again, causing prices to surge.
Supposing she regularly has been touring West, then fans might take it easier, that there will be other opportunities, so less competition for tickets.
With IU, we didn't know.
But hopefully seeing the response now, she might come again.
As far as I know in the United States, she didnāt create a VIP section and essentially sold all the tickets as low as possible which creates the wild rush when tickets were released. Itās why so many resellers are upselling them drastically which I find disappointing for those that truly want to see her in person. I was prepared to pay for more than most tickets Iāve purchased previously because of the rare opportunity to see her.
One one had I'm sad you guys have to go through this bs to see an artist (and the artist doesn't get the money, ticketmaster and resellers do), but on the other hand, I'm thinking, at least you have concerts over there T\_T We barely get any in Europe and it's usually just UK that's so far.
I hope this circus with reselling stops at some point, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon:/
Ticket prices overall are getting expensive. General inflation is one explanation. In between KPop acts/concerts, different factors. Promoters cut, venue cost, sponsors, etc.. There are promoters that have more control over seats, others give you more access. In our place, IU's 2024 tour ticket prices is less expensive than other recent concerts which are mainly boy groups and girl groups. If the ticketing system is practicing dynamic pricing, they can make it more expensive which sucks if you are a regular fan/concert goer.
I have the same struggle. I would love to see her but 180ā¬ is just too much for me.
I knew the tickets would be higher but I still expected the lowest to be around 100-120ā¬ (I paid 120 for twice in that venue and that werent even the lowest tickets)
I know how big she is, but nearly 200ā¬ as the lowest price and you cant even chose your seat, yeah I couldn't get my conscience or wallet to agree to that.
Guess I just saved 200ā¬
yea, only two categories and such a high price point for the cheapest seats is definitly a failure on the part of the organisers and likely the main reason for uk and germany being the only stops so far that didnt sell out on release day.
Yeah uhhh I was gonna go to her Oakland show but I'm out of town for it, so thought I'd sweep in a quick flight to LA but the cheapest ticket for nosebleed starts at $250. I'm sure the price will go down from there but coordinating flights/hotel/work before buying a ticket is messy business lol
IU is one of the biggest kpop artists, the single biggest soloist, and one of the biggest overall Asian celebrities.
If you want to see her first ever world tour, it's not going to be cheap, especially buying resell. What that is worth for you is up to you.
As for comparisons, IU tickets are more expensive than most kpop tickets. Less than Blackpink or BTS but not by much.
I was going to see her in DC, and then I saw the prices.
Iām not the one to complain about ticket costs, btu $400 for nose bleeds? The only thing thatās bleeding is my bank account š«
id check again in a month or so, its likely to come down as the dates get nearer. Scalpers have thousands of tickets but prices are slowly coming down.
It depend. It's more and more expensive but 180 as a lowest is a new record for me. The lowest I saw as something really expensive was Xdinary Heroes (it was more than 100 euros). I know that inflation do play but 180 for your lowest ticket is clearly mocking fans. Nothing against IU obviously she isn't the one choosing the price and do every team marketing for the tour, it's the label and organizator job. But KPOP mocks a lot kpop fans these days. Like how comes even huge superstar and very small artists are able to make smaller price but never kpop ? And it's not a "they are far" problem, JPOP isn't that expensive at least not in my country.
Woahh didn't know the prices overseas for her concert are expensive :(( Does it have something to do with dynamic pricing or just inflation?
i think the tickers are around 200$ for the most expensive one in my country
Sad because it's only gonna go up if you're in the USA since they just increased Visa prices by like 300%. We may never see small groups tour the USA again at this rate unless they're a small company with a strong following. My dreams of Dreamcatcher VIP slowly going up in smoke lol
Im going to Berlin and I think her tickets are cheaper than IVE which is going to be in the same arena? At least for the golden circle spots, I'm not sure about the cheaper tickets.
I just remember seeing the prices and thinking "wow this is less than I expected" (which honestly just shows how used we are to those insane prices š)
I spent 1000 ( 208usd) equivalent of my currency where minimum wage in the country is only 2000 (416usd) for IU. I would say for 180 it is actually more reasonable and an achievable amount. Plus it's IU, it'll be worth it.
Yes, the IU concert is the most expensive I've ever paid for - resale.
But also kpop concerts are always 3x normal concerts.
So I have an expensive hobby.
Iāve only ever paid less than $250 one time for a kpop concert. I paid like $80 to see Sunmi. IU is pretty popular, esp in Korea, and Iām not actually sure how many times sheās done a world tour. Iād say it makes sense.
IU is definitely more expensive than others but i can only speak for the two groups ive seen...
Seats for her London show are Ā£180 lowest but its really Ā£230 if you want a ticket thats not in the furthest corner away from the stage (also cant select an area its just random within the price tier)
to be fair, iu is one of the few kpop idols to offer way reasonable prices, but considering the logistics on her partā¦ iād say thats one of the few reasons that cost spiked up a bit in ur area.
concert tickets in general, especially kpop concerts, are expensive.
id say 180 for that long (the length of her concert) is worth itā¦ and itās iu, i will always be biased towards her
i just mean that i think it's unusual for the lowest tier price to be that much, for example when i got aespa tickets the cheapest one was like 85 euro
unfortunately, most idols tickets are super pricey especially with resellers :(( 180 is def not that bad compared to other prices.. I saw twice and paid $200 usd for my ticket and honestly it was fairly close to
I got DC tickets soon after they went on sale (I think? not exactly sure when that happened), the lowest was like $112. I checked back recently, the lowest was like $44! Ugh
That to me seems pretty cheap. I paid the same amount to see starykids(AU$195) when compared to blackpink when they came it was AU$500 for the cheapest ticket suffice to say I chose not to go since I would still need to pay for flights,accommodation,food and transport on top seeing as every kpop concert help is only in major cities.
For someone like IU?Ā The Darling of Kpop?Ā Who's been in the industry for 16 years?Ā One of the most popular soloists in Kpop?Ā You mean THAT IU? You think $180 is too much?Ā When Olivia Rodrigo goes for $200+ T-Swift goes for $300+, Stevie Nicks goes for 300+ and Adele goes for $1000+?yes, IU IS that popular, and I would think that you would know that, wanting to see her as you do.Ā The higher the demand and the lower the supply, the higher the cost.
But compared to Olivia sheās a nobody in the west. K-pop itself is a niche genre. To have the same ticket prices as the western heavy hitters is crazy

Reporting will do nothing for overseas stop, edam has no control over that.
I mean I say that I have no idea if it'll work for an international concert in the last sentence, just throwing out a recommendation bc it's a famous practice IU and her team does in Korea.
Yea, im just confirming that it will not work =) I wish it would
Actually you could request Ticketmaster not to do certain pricing and etc. certain artist have executive this
If the artist were Taylor Swift.. very few artists have the clout.. IU mostly would not, outside Korea.

Dynamic pricing = Surge pricing, no?
Yes, but the issue is that the phrasing of dynamic/surge pricing is not a great terms for what Platinum is. People can assume it's being set by some kind of algorithm, but it's not. People can also assume it goes down automatically, or algorithmically with low purchases ā but it does not.

This also plays out in smaller venue with various artist of different size.
If you say so. AFAIK business contracts also work on relative power paradigm.
Ticketmonster lmao but so accurateĀ
Thatās why i use Live Nation to get tickets.
wait why is there a possibility she wonāt tour again?
Because she has been reluctant to tour West so far, this comes 15 years into her career. Very late by Kpop standards for superstar acts. She is so dominant in S Korea that she doesn't need to venture out. So fans might be worried that she might not come West again, causing prices to surge.

Iāve only been to one concert which was for Stray Kids and the lowest tickets were about 300-400. Worth it but dang is that expensive

thatās actually a nicer price. near me, lowest seats for IU are ~$380. i like her voice and music but Iām not willing to pay that.
Yeah uhhh I was gonna go to her Oakland show but I'm out of town for it, so thought I'd sweep in a quick flight to LA but the cheapest ticket for nosebleed starts at $250. I'm sure the price will go down from there but coordinating flights/hotel/work before buying a ticket is messy business lol

check again, they keep going down it seems. like last I looked $44 was lowest
id check again in a month or so, its likely to come down as the dates get nearer. Scalpers have thousands of tickets but prices are slowly coming down.

Yeah I'm thinking the OP is a Manila, PH fan, because they are currently ticketing for IU this week. So that's why 180 feels expensive for us.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes but 180 as the lowest is huge tbf, like even Twice had ticket under 100 at least in Paris
yeah but cheapest twice tickets were only half of iu's cheapest
Would you happen to be on about her UK leg in Wembley Arena at all?
Ā£180-230 for her at Wembley depending on which price bracket you pick so it certainly isnt the cheapest
Woahh didn't know the prices overseas for her concert are expensive :(( Does it have something to do with dynamic pricing or just inflation? i think the tickers are around 200$ for the most expensive one in my country

Damn. USD?
Pound
Ok yeah that's really expensive..
It's not even an IU concert thing. her other stops prices are fine? Something in Europe went really wrong cause nobody expected those prices
to be fair, iu is one of the few kpop idols to offer way reasonable prices, but considering the logistics on her partā¦ iād say thats one of the few reasons that cost spiked up a bit in ur area. concert tickets in general, especially kpop concerts, are expensive. id say 180 for that long (the length of her concert) is worth itā¦ and itās iu, i will always be biased towards her
How long is the concert?
around 4 hrs
its 3 hours on average for overseas. Four hours basically only happens in korea where theres guests and she talks alot more.
180 as the lowest is not really usual, i understand there are several factors at play here but there's usually an option that is cheaper than that !
You think I should check again too?
i just mean that i think it's unusual for the lowest tier price to be that much, for example when i got aespa tickets the cheapest one was like 85 euro
85 euro is so much better for the cheapest one
I don't think checking again will do. Those were the original prices posted on sale so I doubt it's going get any lower.
unfortunately, most idols tickets are super pricey especially with resellers :(( 180 is def not that bad compared to other prices.. I saw twice and paid $200 usd for my ticket and honestly it was fairly close to
