I've been getting asked the same questions quite a lot, so I thought I'd put everything together in one place.
----
1. PC or mobile?
It's hard to say which is better. Just use whichever device is faster and more reliable for you.
Use your faster data. Whether it's Wi-fi or 5g, the fastest one.
2. It's my first time at KSPO. Which seats are best?
If you want to see the members up close, standing is the obvious choice. However, if you're not very tall, I'd recommend 1st seating.
Standing can be great, but it's also physically demanding, and you'll likely spend a long time waiting outside before entering.
Also, during the Incheon concert, people holding large sketchbooks or signs were not always the most considerate audience members.
If you'd rather avoid those kinds of issues, choose a seat. Personally, I'll be booking standing tickets.
3. Is Korea hot in July?
We're going to be roasted alive out there.
It's already around 32ยฐC right now, and July will probably be similar.
The heat isn't the biggest problem, Korea is also very humid, which can make it feel difficult to breathe at times.
That's why items like cooling sprays, cooling patches, and handheld fans are so useful.
Remember those iconic photos of Nayeon and Jihyo? We'll need to do the same.
4. Is there anything I should prepare before ticketing on NOL?
If you're a ONCE 5TH Gen member, complete your presale verification first. Right now.
Also, Korean ticketing sites all have one thing in common: they use pop up windows.
If you're using an ad blocker or have pop ups disabled, and your turn arrives while pop ups are still blocked, your booking attempt is basically over.
Before ticket sales begin, test another event on the site and make sure pop-ups work properly in your browser.
If possible, even go through the payment process once just to familiarize yourself with the steps. You can close the window before actually paying.
5. Once the ticket queue starts, never refresh the page or reconnect.
and when your turn arrives, you'll first encounter a CAPTCHA
After that, when selecting seats, you'll likely face a slide puzzle verification.
Make sure you remember that these steps exist.
6. Even if your reflexes are excellent, you probably won't beat scalpers
That means you should never spend time thinking about seat choices during the booking process.
Decide your first, second, and third seating options beforehand.
7. Even if presale sells out, don't panic.
There's a good chance that many of the remaining seats will be released during general sales.
8. Canceled tickets often appear during the first week
Keep checking regularly.
9. Scalpers will die with the tickets rather than cancel them
Don't assume they'll suddenly cancel their tickets at the last moment.
And unless you completely trust someone, never send money in advance to buy tickets through Twitter/X.
This type of scam is extremely difficult to recover from, and the Korean police usually can't help much once the money is gone.
10. If you can only attend one day, consider this:
You could choose the first concert and be among the first people to discover any changes to the setlist.
Or you could choose the final day, which is the grand finale of TIF, where nobody knows what surprises might be revealed.
11. Did you get tickets?
Before booking your flight, book your hotel first.
If your budget allows, I recommend staying near Jamsil.
12. If you've arrived at Olympic Park Station and the concert is about to start,
HURRY
station and KSPO DOME are only about 500โ600 meters apart, but you'll still need time to walk there.
13. There are places to eat near KSPO, but they can't accommodate everyone attending the concert
Instead, head to Olympic Plaza across the street.
There are plenty of decent restaurants on the second and third floors, and there's also a pharmacy there.
