Okay, just look at the info. The price is $258 and there's 6 bands. For me, since i listen to all the artist, $258 is pretty reasonable. I mean its in Singapore for godsake, everything in Singapore is expensive so if you compare it everything in Singapore to rate first, it's freaking affordable. Did i mention 4 of the 6 bands are those top bands.
If you attend a showcase, the average price is like $130 this days. and it's only for 1 band, a showcase where they will talk for like 10 mins and sing 1 or 2 song. That my dear is only for one artist. This event is a concert consisting 6 artist, so of course the price is reasonable.
So, some fans are complaining about the ticket price. I mean okay since they are a fan of only one band, $258 for about 20 mins is quite expensive. But if you compare, if you go to a normal showcase too in singapore, it's about 20 mins too.. The other time when SUJU came to Singapore, i remember SG fans buying tickets online at prices far ridiculous. More then $300, and that is for a showcase. This is a concert for god sake!
SG fans are funny, they demand artist but when they do come, they complain that the price is steep. and they compare the price with Korea, Thailand or China tickets. Hello, can you compare the cost of living in the country and the ticket price first before you say anything much. and for Korea, it's their home country of course it's cheaper!
If you complain much, go to either country for events or do not go at all. Isn't it easier. For me, i have no time to travel overseas thus having them here is good enough. Furthermore, if i go overseas, the price for all the expenses is high. I rather spend the money for a one day thing in SG.
I am also glad that they do not do via sistic. because call me selfish, at the very least we singaporeans are given much more advantage. you will have to compete with overseas fans if not. Hello, just look at the artist, Big Bang apart from Japan and not so often Thailand, where else have they held a concert at? Furthermore, they havent had much activities this days. and FTI and SHINee just had a comeback too. and we all know that there are tonnes of sones here in SG. so, get the big picture first. Having them sell at HMV is good.
But then i rather they release the info of ticket purchase on friday night rather then now. haha, cause those who do not have the money would not have any way to purchase the ticket now. so it will be more of an advantage.
there's o'level two days after the concert. poly students are having exams on monday. students are schooling on friday and have assement classes on saturday. adults are working. so, it's a fair deal for all.
anyway, all in all, what i wanted to say is can all those idiotic fans just shut the hell up. i waited more then 7years for any K-artist to come to here in Singapore. After all this years, KPOP is on the rise and i am freaking thankful. There's alot of new and young fans now, and at times some of their attitude is really making me want to strangle them!
