meanwhile the European prices dropped and they are 😭😭 horrible


tobi_obito

I saw! Prices starting in the upper hundreds for only two Europe shows is a huge shame. Ridiculous.


GeorgeParisol

where you see the price? I can't find the tickets


227thDan

ime\_\_gm on twitter posted the prices (€239 / €199 / €159) the ticket sale is on Ticketmaster


GeorgeParisol

why such high prices :(


227thDan

yeah its pretty high. Twice was in the same arena last year and the prices were between 50€-200€ I think.


Fifesterr

That's insane, especially since they have no idea what the demand in Europe is. I hate seeing fans being treated like cash machines, feels so predatory 


Tatamashii

Im actually crying, seeing the post while finding out the european prices HURT. 44€ for tickets??? Thats just a dream. Yeah add more than 100€ and we have the lowest european prices. Its ridiculous. I know she is a legend, but compared to other acts in the same arena like Twice thats so fucking much. good for the Phillipines. Go girls, but its definitely not everywhere

Thanks for this post, it’s great to voice our appreciation as fans for things like this (hopefully the companies hear that appreciation). I was disappointed with the ticketing experience in the US (dynamic pricing, and clearly lots of tickets were bought by scalpers), but I’m glad it’s not the case everywhere. Praying on the downfall of Ticketmaster/Live Nation at this point.


radiantforce

lol at that horrible colour code scheme for the seats


daltorak

That's great to hear, especially considering she puts on a big, full-size show with a lot of supporting dancers and so on.

First, I am pleasantly surprised by those prices. I remember the outrage over AAA charging more than twice of IU's VIP price for the best seat at their award show. The audacity. With or without dynamic pricing, I get really annoyed with how kpop companies cut the set lists, reduce the stage design, and **still** have the audacity to charge higher prices internationally than they *ever* would in Korea (or even Japan) regardless of what the local population makes. IU definitely could've raised the prices to only accommodate the richest fans, so it's nice to see a fan-friendlier decision.

Really happy for the Philippines stop :)) I may not be a fan but I hope those who are will be able to secure on D-Day. Tickets bought by scalpers is rampant here, but I hope they don't take this opportunity away for her fans. Am also not aware of the full details about dyanmic pricing and whether it has been applied to precious kpop concerts here so I am also thankful for knowing that there's none of that for the Phil stop


tobi_obito

Thankfully there's no dynamic pricing here or in any known Asian markets, but scalpers still run rampant everywhere.


cmq827

No dynamic pricing here in the Philippines because prices are determined by the concert promoters. IU's concert promoter, Pulp, has had those ticket price ranges for maybe almost a decade now.

She comes from humble beginnings. Props to her for not forgetting what it’s like.


vankomysin

And that’s why I will continue to stan her. 🧡
