SO news is out that SMTOWNLIVE is not selling out. Infact its been quite a while since the tickets have been up for grabs.
And only 70% has been sold!!!
This is good news for us STAND.
There\'s only one way to make sense of the low ticket sales ( mainly because of the artists participating ).
Usually DBSK is enough to sell out a concert. EVen if the other people participating are not so great. Heck they dont need anyone else to be in the concert at all. Just them. On stage. Possibly without shirts on, would be great.
Anyhow. Since concerts bring the most money these days for artists, it makes sense that SM decided on putting on a concert as opposed to releasing an SMTOWN SUmmer Album.
Also, its BLOODY pop, in SOUTH KOREA. That is where the money is at.
Only13 Suju will be performing, and forever red DBSK will be performing. The grace are coming back to strut their stuff (one more time, oK?). Zhang Li Yin will be balladeering. Newbies SHINee boogying for us noonas. and a lesser group I dont want to mention.
With a fanmeet thrown in, this should be like GOLD to the most spendey spendey SM boppers.
But its not SOLD out and here are the possible reasons:
- Boycotting: Yes its possible that the big fanclubs have asked their members not to participate or support SMTOWN. For obvious reasons, since you guys are here in STAND. (ask and I\'ll elaborate)
- Parents: After the negative publicity of Dream Concert. Parents may have banned their children from going. (though its most likely something that cant stop them)
- People fear for their lives. Guys there is no segregation between fanclubs. Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? With Bonerifics on the loose with possible knives stashed in their backpockets. these peeps are nuts and they have been biding their time for all this while waiting to get their own back on Cass and ELF.
Dudes, this is serious big news. Sm is getting seriously owned. SERIOUSLY.
Too early to celebrate, but had to mention something, since this was covered in the Korean Media. And LSM has been publicly embarassed by it. (when it comes to business y\'all).
[Edit]
Now seriously, these guys cant scrape up the pennies to make it to see their idols?
