@affection_129 I chuckle every time I see people complain about global interpark / NOL - it‘s honestly pretty even with Korean NOL. Melon though, global melon is the devil. One time my friend asked me to ticket for them and I couldn’t access the HOMEPAGE until 3 hours past the sale 🤡
@nomyeongrey The funny thing is when they still used yes24 for SM I consistently got great queue numbers on global (I use global for all but melon lol), I actually got barricade for exo fanmeet on global yes24 😭
@nomyeongrey It happened to me when I was on a trip once. I tried to enter the queue and it just told me the sale would start at 8 PM and it was 6 where I was. By the time I figured out how to change my device time and it let me in it the queue was 8:15 in Korea, and sold out when I got in
@nomyeongrey Even Korean melon sucks. It operates on device time, so if you‘re outside of Korea and the sale starts at 8 KST, unless you change your device time it won’t let you into the sale until YOUR timezone is 8, too.
@nomyeongrey Global melon is a hallucination, it’s designed to only let you in when no one is left to even look at the sale on the official website. Idk why SM moved to melon.
@catjjuni Because red is the option that „kills“ if too many take it while blue is phrased as the peaceful option. I haven’t voted yet but I don’t even consider red an option. I‘d rather be on the losing side than „kill“ everyone who voted different
@nomyeongrey Ik bcs the global app isn’t available on her App Store so she can’t offline save mobile tickets, but the Korean app IS available and she complains abt having to use browser for her resales every time lol
@nomyeongrey They‘re a pretty even split I think? A friend of mine gets resale almost every time, bcs she‘s barricade or nothing, and her tickets have been on global more often than not (wristband transfer).
@rkivetaekook@chimmsum These shops get a lot of their albums from „professional“ fans who sell their fansign attempt albums for dirt cheap - they probs also buy misc merch through these channels, seeing how often they have exactly one of a very random item. They could also simply went to the show tho
I know we’re excited for no labels part 2, however I would just like to remind people not to share any photos/spoilers from the album unless they’re shared by the company/weverse or yeonjun himself
the album cover leak last year really upset him, we can’t let that happen again
@thebluebearies It seemed to be pretty even! There was tons of standing and quite a bit of first floor available when I first got in, so it seemed like they may have done every odd row or something of that sort. I don’t think they reserved a full 50% for tourists, but probably ~40
Idk how SM will handle this, but enhypen did the same for their last concert on NOL and they had several rows in all sections reserved for global presale. Even though Korean presale sold out I was easily able to get the exact section I wanted in global presale the next day.
so “fanclub presale” doesn’t really feel like priority access anymore. it feels more like: one group gets to shop 1st, while the other is only allowed in days later 🥲
the thing is, both groups paid the same amt for membership. it’s not just abt whether there’ll still be tickets left by the time global presale opens, but also seat quality. chances are most of the best/better seats will already be gone before global fans even get a chance 😔
and this isn’t abt taking anything away from domestic fans. if we’re all paying for the same membership, shouldn’t global fans at least have the opportunity to compete for tickets at the same time?
@thebluebearies global presale also sold out quickly, I just got a very lucky queue number 🤭 I just wanted to mention that at least for how hybe handled, they actually reserved a good chunk of seats and didn’t just give us the leftovers from Korean presale. Hoping SM will go the same route 🙏🏻
@hyyhddaeng I need context. I‘m picky af and even the pepper noodles were too spicy for me, but the arih soda is delicious? The only flavour I didn’t really like so far was the apple one, but it was still fine. What was the issue ppl had with it?
@jonghyvnkim I just wish they’d all raffe ticket access like hybe used to. Sure, scalpers had accounts in the raffle, but I had the same chance as each of these scalper accounts. Meanwhile in actual ticketing every single bot is guaranteed to have better chances than me as a human being.
@Arya_No1@kthkosmos_@namu_bear They did this for enhypen and even though Korean presale was sold out, when I got through the queue for global presale a solid 30% of the tickets were available, so the must‘ve reserved close to half of the tickets for the global resale. It was actually easier than usual
@Fleur691@jwyejikitties In Korea there‘s rarely a way to directly buy authentic signed albums (except for rookie groups), so you usually need to win a fansign, and the realistic chances for that usually begin in the 1000€+ realm for most halfway popular boygroups, not 100€ 😭
@affection_129 I was able to easily go into the event on my Korean account, but since the tickets are name-bound I couldn’t buy her one on my account 😭 after an hour the Korean account didn’t even have a queue anymore, and global still wouldn’t even load the homepage for anyone who tried 🤡
