-cl0ud9 45 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 after announcing that tvxq was gonna have a concert in peru less than a month ago, it's now cancelled reasons given were " technical problems related to the band requirements and its installation at the place to perform, which made impracticable the assembly of the concert " obviously this problem was so major that it couldn't be solved and they had to just cancell the whole thing even after ticket sales have already begun now they have to go through refunding everyone; what's with Kpop and cancelling concerts and shit, like what's going on SM ? first you announce it suddenly tickets go on sale suddenly it gets cancelled suddenly whaddafuq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesskid1<3 857 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 companies have started believing their own media play about the popularity of kpop then they hold overzealous concerts outside SEA and see the slow ticket sales.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

why 695 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 my guess is that ticket sales were not looking good. even here in LA with the huge korean population and it being the to-go place for kpop concerts, tvxq isn't selling out the nokia (which is not that big, the same venue as bap's concert recently). this week i saw discounted orchestra tickets were being sold through living social (kinda like groupon), and even then there are still a decent number of seats left i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(5k people difference or so) the ticket sales for peru weren't even bad enough though considering presales were sold out within 24 hours and what not even with the tickets it kinda feels like there's another shitty reason of why they're not going there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepidoptery 2,917 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 shit happens :/ I believe there should be an Offical Fuck You SM, Fuck You JYP, Fuck You YG, Fuck you Straship thread. What did Starship do? I hadn't heard that they'd canceled a concert, is all. my guess is that ticket sales were not looking good. even here in LA with the huge korean population and it being the to-go place for kpop concerts, tvxq isn't selling out the nokia (which is not that big, the same venue as bap's concert recently). this week i saw discounted orchestra tickets were being sold through living social (kinda like groupon), and even then there are still a decent number of seats left i think .... TVXQ can't sell out the venue b.a.p did? Like 2-3k seats? o.O I guess their US fandom splintered and are not necessarily that into kpop anymore...? (Or because they can see them at SMTown? But you'd think dedicated stans would consider the solo concert a better deal... unless they have sufficient crossover with the other SM fandoms to make SMTown the better deal, I guess.) EDIT: nvm. It had to be questioned, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different venues. BAP was at Club Nokia (seating capacity: 2,300). TVXQ will be at Nokia Theater (seating capacity: 7,100, though the mezzanine won't be used I believe). Still a big gap in amount of seats though. But yeah, there are still tickets for sale throughout Nokia Theater for the TVXQ concert. There's been a lot of last minute promos/deals as well, such as the above mentioned Living Social package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw someone's reply to Why. It is significantly more than b.a.p, but I'd say the venue size, while still bigger, is in the same ballpark as 2ne1's in NJ was, or something? So... I guess I'm still surprised. I was just throwing in another name~ lulz, ok. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Maybe it really was a technical difficulty tho? One they might have not felt like was worth all the hassle? Idk, but sometimes it doesn't have to do with ticket sales. It could but people jump to that conclusion to quickly sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viva 882 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 They obviously didnt' sell out the tickets (and now you're bringing unnecessary attention to it T_T) TVXQ just aren't that popular internationally, people seem to overestimate it for some reason. Be realistic, not all "someone of their status should be able to sell out" when they missed the Hallyu wave from 09-10 and spend almost all their time in Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neith 156 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Actually that thing about "problems related to the band requirements and its installation" is real.Catch me Tour had a LOT of mechanical things and sub stages that make the concert looks pretty cool and The Jockey Club of Perú can't handle them because is an open space with a lack of proper infrastructure and is not safe for the boys to do some of their performances. This two specially: I also think there are probably other issues that make SM and Kandavu cancell the concert, but that they can't install things that TVXQ need to performing correctly is true.

mbugg 700 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 whatever the problem is they should have dealt with it before they announced the concert and sell the tickets. if thats not the case, they obviously didnt sell enough tickets. duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Can't say I'm surprised. It's not like it's 2008. TVXQ can't sell out the venue b.a.p did? Like 2-3k seats? o.O I guess their US fandom splintered and are not necessarily that into kpop anymore...? That's probably it. I'm barely hanging on as is.
