KBS Open Concert Update

Hello, hello everyone! You're probably wondering, "Otteoke?! What happened to the KBS Open Concert?! Why haven't you updated anything?!"

Yes, the concert is less than a month away and ticket information has, still, yet to be released. As promised, as soon as official information regarding the distribution of tickets is announced, I will inform you guys. :) 

I wouldn't let you down, lovely followers. Lol (Source)

So far, floating around forums and comments, some netizens believe that the tickets may be a "first come, first serve" type of distribution -- where you would either have to physically line up to obtain a ticket or be one of the first to reserve one online. 

Some people are also wondering, "If it's a free concert, why do I even need a ticket in the first place?" 

Just imagine the chaos if everyone simply showed up on the day of the concert and tried to stampede their way into the coliseum. The venue only holds 93,000 seats and can accommodate about 100,000 people; everyone would trample each other like a bunch of sasaeng fans trying to catch a glimpse of their bias. (Nobody wants to be a sasaeng fan, but that's a different story.)

Don't be a sasaeng fan... (Source)

An even grimmer rumor concerning netizens is the possibility that the concert would be cancelled…

I know, they can't do that to us?! (Source)

Though is it a plausible outcome, I highly doubt KBS America and the L.A. Korea Society would pull out such an extravagant announcement without something to back it up. It would be very poor publicity on their part considering all the hype and promotions that has been built around it, from their official website to the Facebook event. 

I am considering whether or not this could be tactic to build up the anxiety and excitement for the event to ensure enough people would show up to fill their venue. They could also be working on gaining two more idol groups to add to the line up, since only 12 out of the 14 performers have been revealed so far. Maybe someone quite exclusive?

Until more information is released, we will just have to stay on our toes!!

If you have any questions regarding the event, feel free to leave a comment down below or tweet me your questions, @aegyoanika. :) Also, let me know if you have any other information to share with all of us or just your thoughts on the delay; I'd love to hear what you have to say!
