DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I went to SMTown in 2011 at Madison Square Garden. Since then, I haven't seen any KPop acts play there, even thought it's the most known venue in the US. It's even weirder since I saw Robyn there last month and she hasn't had a song chart here since 1997 and her album that came out last year charted at #40. Yet the show was sold out. So what is the reasoning behind KPop acts playing other venues in the New York area, namely the Prudential Center in Newark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMJI MOODS 11,514 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Probably got a better ticket prices to venue rental costs ratio. Who doesn't like larger profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satoori 45,814 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Citi Field is double the capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviandrepepe 6,559 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 If i'm not wrong, it's not actually that big and expensive. It definitely look better on achievement list buts it better to just do NJ unless u do an arena tour on the scales of some american artist.

Kcon also use to be held at the Prudential Center. However now with Kpop being even more popular in the West, looks like MSG is offering better options~ Kcon 2019: https://www.msg.com/kcon-2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSG is actually bigger than Prudential, but as stated above it all comes down to business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illunnienati 3,610 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Better prices . You rent out MSG for the name but kpop companies care about the profit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Citi Field is double the capacity. That's another thing... Most people who do stadium shows in this area do Yankee Stadium, not Citi Field. I found that quite bizarre. There's a lot of secondary venues going in in regards to New York, as opposed to the prime ones. If i'm not wrong, it's not actually that big and expensive.

satoori 45,814 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 . So if this is the case, why do domes that aren't sold out? Why are we talking about Japan now lol How Kpop companies treat the West and Japan are completely different. There are barely any Kpop artists selling out Stadiums. So as long as a Kpop group can even do a show in one, whether that's Citi Field or Yankee, is "Prestigious". It's better to go with the one that's going to make you the most profit. In Japan it's a lot easier for groups to do Domes. And yes prestige still matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters for both just treated differently depending on the country. Being the US itself is already prestigious to Koreans. Minor difference between the "name" of a stadium or arena doesn't matter. They dgaf about Kpop groups accomplishments in Japan. Doing Domes seem to be the one to get some attention though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlessMeAchoo 2,086 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Haven't Monsta X performed there too as part of the jingle ball? I'm pretty sure that's where they had that awkward interview where they brought up BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
