Tips on how to successfully buy K-pop concert tickets online
SCORING tickets to K-pop concerts has been difficult even before the pandemic. During EXO’s last concert in the Philippines in 2019, fans camped outside the MOA Arena as early as three days before ticket selling.
Due to the pandemic, more people got into K-pop and tickets today are even more challenging to obtain. I remember that so many colleagues were asking me how to get complimentary tickets for Seventeen’s concerts in the Philippines last year. I told them that even buying those precious tickets was hard.
Not a lot of K-pop fans camp out these days. Most of them go online to buy tickets, but believe me when I say that it’s a bloodbath out there. If your internet connection is not consistently strong, you simply don’t stand a chance.
That said, I talked to longtime K-pop fans and asked them for tips on how to buy concert tickets online without ending up exhausted, crying, or both. But, if you’re on TikTok, you know that ticket-selling days always have people bursting in tears either way, whether they get tickets or not.
