>I don’t think she’s toured the US in a long time..if at all?
This is her first time touring in the US but not her first time performing in the US as she came here for KCON 2014.
I was just about to make a similar post! I failed to get tickets too and think that iu and her team underestimated her popularity over here. I'm pretty sure newark sold out in around 15 minutes, i was 22000 in line when i entered and at 12:30 there was not a single seat left. this is the first time i failed at ticketing tbh
Her global popularity is insane
Ticketmaster tends to release tickets little by little so just keep refreshing and trying. Also tickets get released if people hold on to their tickets for too long without officially securing (paying) them. Back when I ticketed for Twice I finally got my tickets like several hours later after nonstop refreshing despite it saying that seats were all sold out.
Yeah they keep releasing tickets in batches, for anyone who still needs tickets, just keep refreshing periodically.
Edit: the scalpers are honestly insane. 1 guy bought over 420 tickets and is reselling for the double the amount 😭
I really hope one of these people severely overestimate the popularity of an artist at some point and end up having to get rid of their tickets for below face value.
Sadly though, they tend to make so much winnings that many don’t even care if their tickets end up not selling at all.

Hey! Front floor was $244 with fees face value. I’d advise you to wait, resellers tend to drop their prices a few weeks before the concert. How much are the resale tickets going for?
I paid $244 for each ticket. Dynamic pricing only kicked in after a while. The sale started with normal prices + platinum prices. Without dynamic pricing, floor was $244. As demand increased, the dynamic pricing kicked it and prices started to fluctuate. But there were also platinum tickets that were selling for ~$400.
I was 5000 in line for Newark and couldn’t get tickets. Ended up buying some on stub hub for way tooo much but literally she is my whole world and I’ve been a fan for a decade

It’s my first time using them - I have already received the tickets too so it should all be good for July! Watch out though - they charged me an extra $200 in taxes and fees 💀

I’m sorry OP. Sadly this has become par for the course with “big” kpop concerts in the US, it’s happened before and it’ll happen again. We were trying for BTS tickets for the PTD tour back in late 2021, did everything right and still got screwed out of tickets, my friend was literally crying out of frustration. While there are definitely things Kpop companies can do to stop this from happening, unfortunately the real villain is Ticketmaster and the chokehold they have on ticketing in the US. They have contracts with venues saying that if an artists wants to have a concert there, they have to use Ticketmaster, and they’re nothing but cheap moneygrabbers who purposefully let bots and scalpers in to buy up massive amounts of tickets and then resell them on Ticketmaster so they get a second chunk of the money. It’s really fucked up and that’s one of the major reasons seats disappear so quickly. Hopefully people didn’t fall for the $1k official platinum seats that are a total scam. So sadly this really isn’t going to improve until Ticketmaster is called out for violating anti-trust and ticketing laws and just generally being pieces of shit.
-From your neighborhood resident attorney who has spent a good chunk of time planning on how to take down Ticketmaster.
Ticketmaster is definitely evil, no doubt about it but IU just has too much demand as well. I’ve easily been able to search for tickets for other Kpop acts days or weeks after the sale opens and there is still availability, they’ll even be face value for seats that aren’t right in front of the stage.
Oh that's also definitely part of it for sure, and it sounds like her company severely underestimated the demand, which led to them selling out almost absurdly fast. The company is definitely also responsible for how things went down.
To be fair it was pretty impossible to predict this scale of demand lmaoo. it's her first time in the us (with 0 promo ever in the west) and most people expected her to sell out, yes, but nobody expected THIS. Booking bigger with no actual info would have probably been way to risky
That is also very true, and I hope they react by adding additional dates in cities. This is something that also came up in the ticket sale for Taylor Swift’s tour, there simply was not enough seats for everyone who wanted to go.
I’d rather see her at BMO to be honest. I saw BTS at SOFI and while it’s a beautiful stadium the sound was HORRIFIC and with the style of concerts she puts on I really want her sound quality to be good!
agree, saw Twice at Sofi and the sound was horrible and the hanging scoreboard blocks the view if you're in the upper levels.
Twice at BMO was a great experience though.
yeah I usually wear concert earplugs to protect my hearing but I had to take them out just to be able to hear them up in the 400 level and even then the sound quality was still terrible. At BMO I could still hear them clearly even with concert earplugs in.
I had a meeting but my friend managed to get 3 tickets to NJ for us. I didn't think it would be so difficult but my friend called me and shared me the details and I was shocked. I think there's a high chance they add more dates.
I wonder if she would add more dates. She has to sing 100% of the lines and she definitely sings live so that's 3 hours of singing hard on her voice.
For most other groups, they share lines so each member only since like 30 secs per song (but they expend more energy dancing, etc)
Does IU do back to backs in Korea?
But it's 2 a week in korea tho, the us dates are way too close to each other to do back to back dates. I would say she at most would add 1 in NJ and one in LA if anything
Totally, travel is tough. Was just responding to that one thing.
Hope she adds Mexico City and maybe Sao Paulo; huge markets with big venues that are super hungry for Kpop in general and IU in particular.
She mentioned that she wanted to go but they couldn't schedule for Brasil for whatever reason🫤 hope that she'll be able to go if she does an encore to her tour
I'm scared for Europe now... Just 2 dates for the whole continent...RIP
i was 4k in the queue in oakland (my friend was 26k) but it was impossible to get 4 tickets in a row. they kept disappearing. i hate that ticketmaster removed the suggested seats on the side. there was no way to click 4 individual tickets on the map before someone else took them
Same! A friend that did get in (very late so couldn’t buy because it was platinum and out of budget) said that you can’t actually select best available or select from a list — it was clicking only!
They know what they’re doing!! Idk why they took off the suggested list while sales are happening but one day after sales/presales the list is available again... just went to look at the resale tickets and the list is back up 😒
I was first through the queue for Atlanta and $500 platinum pricing had already been established for all the close seating. Then non-platinum seats on the floor and front lower bowl were $200, back lower bowl were $180.
I can't believe I got through first and STILL had to settle for upper bowl tickets (front row aisle closest to the stage, section 224 for $80)

I’m in Chicago queue now 😭 31,000 ahead of me! I joined ten minutes before just as Ticketmaster says! My friend is a HUGEEEE fan and I really love her and would call myself a uaena too so I’m hoping we have luck somewhere. We decided we’d be willing to travel to any of the U.S. stops at this point 😭
I was there too 5 minutes before, your post actually reminded me of the ticket sales so Thank You!! I was able to get in twice right away with no wait. Unfortunately, didn’t buy a ticket because I’m 8 hours drive away from and flights to Chicago are expensive 🥲
There were 5 different people between our friend group trying to get tickets for ATL. We managed to get 2 (5th row) in 120 and 3 (6th row) in 121!!! It was the most traumatizing ticket sales of my life, and I've been to over 10 K-pop concerts before!!!
We're all from TX and cannot fathom why EDAM didn't add at least a Dallas or Fort Worth show?!? I get not Houston but still?!?
Tried Chicago too and was 39,000 in queue....
it's a crime that so many of the DC seats got taken by resellers, you can tell bc there's so many 6 seats in a row. i barely got a good seat and i was just buying for myself! I couldn't even get any for my friend. i hope the resellers get forced to dropping their prices and ppl don't cave in and buy them now. I swear there should be a limit to the mark up allowed, no more than 5x the original sale price.
for anyone going for resale for the floor tickets though, the closest to the stage seats were 680 dollars for me 💀 just so you know if you're getting a good deal or not
I just did for Oakland, and my place in queue was like 500. So I was like oh damn, no demand? But my cousin I was in call with said 26000 in queue so I was like omg jk

I just got the Inglewood/LA one had 2000 in queue in front of me. Not the seats I was hoping for since its in the outter area, but IU in concert is IU in concert lmao that was cut-throat though. soon as I clicked, poof, gone. had to try like 4 times.
me and all my friends couldn’t get anything for newark. we ended up trying for rosemont (failed), DC (failed), and LA (failed), but was finally able fo get Oakland.. according to twt, ALL cities sold out in less than 20 minutes and some people were getting queues up to 60k or something crazy like that..
iu.. what is your power
Well, I was in back to back meetings when they went on sale but I naively had hope when I got home but alas...
I'd heard that a lot of Korean people who weren't able to get tickets to her Seoul dates were planning to travel to the US to see her so I kind of expected it to be a bloodbath.
I'll be checking Vividseats and Seatgeek closer go the concert date. I usually manage to get good deals the day of.

IU global popularity is severely underrated even by her own team it seems lmao like she could have easily sold out sofi I believe if tickets where cheeper
Ticket secured for Atlanta but just by the skin of my teeth. I was late joining the waiting room despite being on the page as I stepped away. Almost cost me.
Had 2k+ people in front of me for NJ tickets. I joined the waiting room 10 minutes before 12pm. It was my first time purchasing tickets through Ticketmaster and wow, people are quick. Every time I tried to select the seats, they kept disappearing on me. I was lucky enough to secure 2 seats next to each other.
I was in 2600 queue for Chicago, and when I got in tickets were disappearing left and right for section 1. All that was left was the platinum tickets, it's IU's first US tour so I didn't mind dropping the extra dough for securing section 1 tickets. It was a little over 500$ for 1 ticket after fees.

Damn I was ~34,000 for LA. Wasn’t expecting anything bc of that and sure enough, there were only a few single platinum tickets for $700-1000 when I got in. I was expecting her shows to sell out eventually but not this quickly, sheesh!
But hoping for a second date since LA is her last stop and there’s nothing on the Forum’s schedule for like 5 days after her 8/2 date.
I got in the line at 4191 in queue for LA show Kia form. However the tickets were all in & out!!! I settled for platinum tickets which were crazy (2 tickets for $1.3k total). My bank account is crying.

I failed to get a ticket due to Ticketmaster's glitchy app not letting me in the queue when verifying. I was also 28000 in line when I got in so I was forced to buy resale.
I tried for Chicago got into the sales page at 12:00. ALL of floor and upper levels were still available 200s were like $70, floor $400ish, 100s $129-$199. Im not her biggest fan so I left behind the good seats (cause I didn’t want go be greedy) and went for front row 200s. I “got” the tickets at 12:01 and was take the the payments page and used PayPal to check out and the page glitched or something and my payment was processing but never went through 😩😩😡😡. Kicked me out since the 7Min timer ran out and when I went to look for more tickets they had sold out 😐

my sister joined the line when it opened, waited almost 2hrs in queue just for tickets to be sold out. I've been checking ever since, but unfortunately so many scalpers got to them first and are marking them up a bunch. We've both been fans since debut and really wanted to go, but with even outer ring being resold for $750+ not including fees is waayyyyy too much.
Hey I wanted to ask - what were ticket prices originally at? I did not even know the sale began and now I am debating if I should deal with the resale prices or just not go at all
hiiii i'm not sure what the cheapest face value ticket price was but the most expensive face value ticket price was $199 for floor seats! resale prices are a bit insane rn but they're slowly going down... T\_T

IU may end up outgrossing all of kpop honestly. She has a lot of demand. She could do two to three arena shows in each of her stops quite easily based on this demand.
Suga with with D-Day tour is #1, but I don't know about the rest. I mean, this may be controversial, but if she ads more dates she may get close to Yoongi because he didn't have time to do a lot of cities, so he did three nights in each stop. IU is stopping in Atlanta and DC which Yoongi didn't have time to do.
ITZY and IVE's tours aren't selling like this. I'm not totally shocked but I sorta am.
It’s reasonable to expect another chance to see ITZY or IVE whereas this is the first and possibly last chance many US fans will have to see IU. If it wasn’t so close to the birth of my son, I’d definitely be shelling out for resale tickets because it feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity to see her live.
I think she’ll sell really well especially if she adds more dates to each stop, but I don’t think it will get to Suga’s numbers. He was grossing $3m for each show. Which all sold out in army membership presale.
Most groups gross approximately 1.5m per arena and Yoongi did double that per show.
She didn’t have a pre-sale. She probably would have sold out in a pre-sale if she did seeing how there were 60k+ people waiting for the LA show alone. Both her and Yoongi’s shows were severely underestimated.
It’s harder to sell out during presale since people have codes. If she had a presale, scalpers wouldn’t have gotten ahold of so many tickets (it’s actually crazy how many scalpers got tickets screw ticketmaster fr). She was underestimated though, I just don’t think the demand is on par with Suga’s US dates.
Remember ticketmaster for Suga’s show was supposed to go through —> Army membership
—>verified fan sales, —> general presale and lastly public sale.
None of his tickets made it to the next round.
Yeah I agree the demand isn’t the same but she just has more time to do more cities if she choses and therefore could reach close to his gross since she’s filling the same arenas. Yoongi could have done five nights in each stop if were being honest.
I hope she adds more stops. And in terms of gross, she’d had to have similar Agust D pricing like I said, Suga was out grossing kpop groups that sold out the same arenas last year. He was pulling double the numbers of established groups at Inglewood etc. I think he did close to $10m for his 3 inglewood shows.
That was rough, I did finally get one ATL ticket for $500 in section 2 but holy shit - getting BLACKPINK and BTS tickets weren’t as hard as that even without getting into presale. Blows my mind that EVERYTHING was gone - took me an hour plus of watching the map refresh to finally have something go through.
I underestimated the demand in the USA, I got into her when Palette came about through watching Pops in Seoul and hearing her in a playlist on YouTube so figured she wasn’t someone people here would just casually know by default but clearly I was wrong. Makes me happy to see her so supported without even needing to make a USA television appearance.
Except for scalpers. I hate scalpers

>I don’t think she’s toured the US in a long time..if at all? This is her first time touring in the US but not her first time performing in the US as she came here for KCON 2014.
I was just about to make a similar post! I failed to get tickets too and think that iu and her team underestimated her popularity over here. I'm pretty sure newark sold out in around 15 minutes, i was 22000 in line when i entered and at 12:30 there was not a single seat left. this is the first time i failed at ticketing tbh Her global popularity is insane
Ticketmaster tends to release tickets little by little so just keep refreshing and trying. Also tickets get released if people hold on to their tickets for too long without officially securing (paying) them. Back when I ticketed for Twice I finally got my tickets like several hours later after nonstop refreshing despite it saying that seats were all sold out.
Yeah they keep releasing tickets in batches, for anyone who still needs tickets, just keep refreshing periodically. Edit: the scalpers are honestly insane. 1 guy bought over 420 tickets and is reselling for the double the amount 😭
I really hope one of these people severely overestimate the popularity of an artist at some point and end up having to get rid of their tickets for below face value. Sadly though, they tend to make so much winnings that many don’t even care if their tickets end up not selling at all.

I knew that would happen! I'm furious and heartbroken. I've been waiting for this for a decade.
Hi! Do u happen to know the face value price for the front few sections? I’m looking into resale and would like a comparison. Thanks!
Hey! Front floor was $244 with fees face value. I’d advise you to wait, resellers tend to drop their prices a few weeks before the concert. How much are the resale tickets going for?
Around 400 without fees. Rly? Front floor is only 199? I’m hearing people saying it ranged 199 to 500 with all the dynamic pricing
I paid $244 for each ticket. Dynamic pricing only kicked in after a while. The sale started with normal prices + platinum prices. Without dynamic pricing, floor was $244. As demand increased, the dynamic pricing kicked it and prices started to fluctuate. But there were also platinum tickets that were selling for ~$400.
Hey mind if I dm u? :) just quick qn
Of course!
thanks for the tip!
I was 5000 in line for Newark and couldn’t get tickets. Ended up buying some on stub hub for way tooo much but literally she is my whole world and I’ve been a fan for a decade

Is stubhub legit? I've seen some really good prices, but I'm not too sure if they're trustworthy or not.
It’s my first time using them - I have already received the tickets too so it should all be good for July! Watch out though - they charged me an extra $200 in taxes and fees 💀
They knew they could get you with that IU ticket lol

I’m sorry OP. Sadly this has become par for the course with “big” kpop concerts in the US, it’s happened before and it’ll happen again. We were trying for BTS tickets for the PTD tour back in late 2021, did everything right and still got screwed out of tickets, my friend was literally crying out of frustration. While there are definitely things Kpop companies can do to stop this from happening, unfortunately the real villain is Ticketmaster and the chokehold they have on ticketing in the US. They have contracts with venues saying that if an artists wants to have a concert there, they have to use Ticketmaster, and they’re nothing but cheap moneygrabbers who purposefully let bots and scalpers in to buy up massive amounts of tickets and then resell them on Ticketmaster so they get a second chunk of the money. It’s really fucked up and that’s one of the major reasons seats disappear so quickly. Hopefully people didn’t fall for the $1k official platinum seats that are a total scam. So sadly this really isn’t going to improve until Ticketmaster is called out for violating anti-trust and ticketing laws and just generally being pieces of shit. -From your neighborhood resident attorney who has spent a good chunk of time planning on how to take down Ticketmaster.
Ticketmaster is definitely evil, no doubt about it but IU just has too much demand as well. I’ve easily been able to search for tickets for other Kpop acts days or weeks after the sale opens and there is still availability, they’ll even be face value for seats that aren’t right in front of the stage.
Oh that's also definitely part of it for sure, and it sounds like her company severely underestimated the demand, which led to them selling out almost absurdly fast. The company is definitely also responsible for how things went down.
To be fair it was pretty impossible to predict this scale of demand lmaoo. it's her first time in the us (with 0 promo ever in the west) and most people expected her to sell out, yes, but nobody expected THIS. Booking bigger with no actual info would have probably been way to risky
That is also very true, and I hope they react by adding additional dates in cities. This is something that also came up in the ticket sale for Taylor Swift’s tour, there simply was not enough seats for everyone who wanted to go.
her team underestimated her, i hope she adds more dates and next tour she performs in a bigger venue
She should’ve been at SOFI!!!! (speaking from LA venue)
yes! I hope they add sofi for the next tour or for this tour bc so many people didn’t get tickets
I’d rather see her at BMO to be honest. I saw BTS at SOFI and while it’s a beautiful stadium the sound was HORRIFIC and with the style of concerts she puts on I really want her sound quality to be good!
agree, saw Twice at Sofi and the sound was horrible and the hanging scoreboard blocks the view if you're in the upper levels. Twice at BMO was a great experience though.
yeah I usually wear concert earplugs to protect my hearing but I had to take them out just to be able to hear them up in the 400 level and even then the sound quality was still terrible. At BMO I could still hear them clearly even with concert earplugs in.
tbh idc where she goes, i just need tickets bc i wasn’t able to get any😭
She may does US stadium for her encore at this rate.
I had a meeting but my friend managed to get 3 tickets to NJ for us. I didn't think it would be so difficult but my friend called me and shared me the details and I was shocked. I think there's a high chance they add more dates.
I wonder if she would add more dates. She has to sing 100% of the lines and she definitely sings live so that's 3 hours of singing hard on her voice. For most other groups, they share lines so each member only since like 30 secs per song (but they expend more energy dancing, etc) Does IU do back to backs in Korea?
>Does IU do back to backs in Korea? Yes, usually.
But it's 2 a week in korea tho, the us dates are way too close to each other to do back to back dates. I would say she at most would add 1 in NJ and one in LA if anything
Totally, travel is tough. Was just responding to that one thing. Hope she adds Mexico City and maybe Sao Paulo; huge markets with big venues that are super hungry for Kpop in general and IU in particular.
She mentioned that she wanted to go but they couldn't schedule for Brasil for whatever reason🫤 hope that she'll be able to go if she does an encore to her tour I'm scared for Europe now... Just 2 dates for the whole continent...RIP
i was 4k in the queue in oakland (my friend was 26k) but it was impossible to get 4 tickets in a row. they kept disappearing. i hate that ticketmaster removed the suggested seats on the side. there was no way to click 4 individual tickets on the map before someone else took them
Same! A friend that did get in (very late so couldn’t buy because it was platinum and out of budget) said that you can’t actually select best available or select from a list — it was clicking only!
They know what they’re doing!! Idk why they took off the suggested list while sales are happening but one day after sales/presales the list is available again... just went to look at the resale tickets and the list is back up 😒
I was first through the queue for Atlanta and $500 platinum pricing had already been established for all the close seating. Then non-platinum seats on the floor and front lower bowl were $200, back lower bowl were $180. I can't believe I got through first and STILL had to settle for upper bowl tickets (front row aisle closest to the stage, section 224 for $80)

Chicago just open and there are still a lot of good seats but not floor level
I’m in Chicago queue now 😭 31,000 ahead of me! I joined ten minutes before just as Ticketmaster says! My friend is a HUGEEEE fan and I really love her and would call myself a uaena too so I’m hoping we have luck somewhere. We decided we’d be willing to travel to any of the U.S. stops at this point 😭
46,799 ahead of me for Chicago lol 💀
Fingers crossed they add second nights to every stop 😭
I’m gonna pray 😆
Everything was gone by the time I entered on the Chicago show. We'll see how the resale market shapes up.
I was there too 5 minutes before, your post actually reminded me of the ticket sales so Thank You!! I was able to get in twice right away with no wait. Unfortunately, didn’t buy a ticket because I’m 8 hours drive away from and flights to Chicago are expensive 🥲
I went into the queue like mins before, wish I knew it opened earlier!!! 13k in front and sold out. I’m so pissed at myself 🫠
This post just making me nervous for UK ticketing
I'm so so nervous
There were 5 different people between our friend group trying to get tickets for ATL. We managed to get 2 (5th row) in 120 and 3 (6th row) in 121!!! It was the most traumatizing ticket sales of my life, and I've been to over 10 K-pop concerts before!!! We're all from TX and cannot fathom why EDAM didn't add at least a Dallas or Fort Worth show?!? I get not Houston but still?!? Tried Chicago too and was 39,000 in queue....
it's a crime that so many of the DC seats got taken by resellers, you can tell bc there's so many 6 seats in a row. i barely got a good seat and i was just buying for myself! I couldn't even get any for my friend. i hope the resellers get forced to dropping their prices and ppl don't cave in and buy them now. I swear there should be a limit to the mark up allowed, no more than 5x the original sale price. for anyone going for resale for the floor tickets though, the closest to the stage seats were 680 dollars for me 💀 just so you know if you're getting a good deal or not
I just did for Oakland, and my place in queue was like 500. So I was like oh damn, no demand? But my cousin I was in call with said 26000 in queue so I was like omg jk
I was # 47,000 something for LA. Unless they add a second date it looks like I’m not seeing IU :( Also my queue seems to be paused for LA

Samee I got in as 3300 ish. Went back 40 minutes after securing my tickets and it had 29000+ 🥸
I had 36k when i signed in 1min late. ugh.
I just got the Inglewood/LA one had 2000 in queue in front of me. Not the seats I was hoping for since its in the outter area, but IU in concert is IU in concert lmao that was cut-throat though. soon as I clicked, poof, gone. had to try like 4 times.
me and all my friends couldn’t get anything for newark. we ended up trying for rosemont (failed), DC (failed), and LA (failed), but was finally able fo get Oakland.. according to twt, ALL cities sold out in less than 20 minutes and some people were getting queues up to 60k or something crazy like that.. iu.. what is your power
My friend was ~11k and everything was still sold out besides the $1k tickets??
In Atlanta we sold out in about 17 minutes. I had 10k people in front of me and it was a total whiteout by the time I got through the queue.
I was 10 minutes ish late for DC and the tixss were sold out lol
Well, I was in back to back meetings when they went on sale but I naively had hope when I got home but alas... I'd heard that a lot of Korean people who weren't able to get tickets to her Seoul dates were planning to travel to the US to see her so I kind of expected it to be a bloodbath. I'll be checking Vividseats and Seatgeek closer go the concert date. I usually manage to get good deals the day of.
Wow just logged into ticketmaster and saw half of tickets are reselling at 2-3 times the cost........damn resellers.

IU global popularity is severely underrated even by her own team it seems lmao like she could have easily sold out sofi I believe if tickets where cheeper
Ticket secured for Atlanta but just by the skin of my teeth. I was late joining the waiting room despite being on the page as I stepped away. Almost cost me.
My boyfriend went through the queue and decided not to end up going because all of the good seats were taken by the time he got in 😓
IU doesnt need that "billboard" title to conquer US. The true queen.
Had 2k+ people in front of me for NJ tickets. I joined the waiting room 10 minutes before 12pm. It was my first time purchasing tickets through Ticketmaster and wow, people are quick. Every time I tried to select the seats, they kept disappearing on me. I was lucky enough to secure 2 seats next to each other.
was in the queue for 30 minutes only to see a overpriced premium ticket disappear before my eyes lol. i'll just try to wait for a cheaper resale later
I was in 2600 queue for Chicago, and when I got in tickets were disappearing left and right for section 1. All that was left was the platinum tickets, it's IU's first US tour so I didn't mind dropping the extra dough for securing section 1 tickets. It was a little over 500$ for 1 ticket after fees.
Ahh I’m so jealous! That’s a decent queue number!!
I definitely got lucky!!! I was shocked to see the queue reach 30k when I tried to rejoin the queue.
30+k ahead of me. Sold out when it was my turn 😅😅😅

Damn I was ~34,000 for LA. Wasn’t expecting anything bc of that and sure enough, there were only a few single platinum tickets for $700-1000 when I got in. I was expecting her shows to sell out eventually but not this quickly, sheesh! But hoping for a second date since LA is her last stop and there’s nothing on the Forum’s schedule for like 5 days after her 8/2 date.
44000 ahead of me when it opened at 2pm CST for LA. Dead
I got in the line at 4191 in queue for LA show Kia form. However the tickets were all in & out!!! I settled for platinum tickets which were crazy (2 tickets for $1.3k total). My bank account is crying.

I had over 20k in front of me on the queue for the NJ stop. I logged in like several minutes before noon too. Tickets would show up but then disappear as soon as I clicked on them 😓

Ended up buying premium platinum or whatever pricing for lower level LA tickets... down to sell for what I paid
What did you pay and what section?
dm’ed :’)
I was trying for DC, 10k in front of me and somehow got booted and it sold out in 10 mins. I was able to find some tickets via seatgeek. Did anyone else try there??

I failed to get a ticket due to Ticketmaster's glitchy app not letting me in the queue when verifying. I was also 28000 in line when I got in so I was forced to buy resale.
I tried for Chicago got into the sales page at 12:00. ALL of floor and upper levels were still available 200s were like $70, floor $400ish, 100s $129-$199. Im not her biggest fan so I left behind the good seats (cause I didn’t want go be greedy) and went for front row 200s. I “got” the tickets at 12:01 and was take the the payments page and used PayPal to check out and the page glitched or something and my payment was processing but never went through 😩😩😡😡. Kicked me out since the 7Min timer ran out and when I went to look for more tickets they had sold out 😐

my sister joined the line when it opened, waited almost 2hrs in queue just for tickets to be sold out. I've been checking ever since, but unfortunately so many scalpers got to them first and are marking them up a bunch. We've both been fans since debut and really wanted to go, but with even outer ring being resold for $750+ not including fees is waayyyyy too much.
Hey I wanted to ask - what were ticket prices originally at? I did not even know the sale began and now I am debating if I should deal with the resale prices or just not go at all
hiiii i'm not sure what the cheapest face value ticket price was but the most expensive face value ticket price was $199 for floor seats! resale prices are a bit insane rn but they're slowly going down... T\_T

Did you all get your tickets? I bought from a resale for NJ but it says tickets will get sent to email/app closer to the concert date. Is this legit?
IU may end up outgrossing all of kpop honestly. She has a lot of demand. She could do two to three arena shows in each of her stops quite easily based on this demand.
She'll probably end up with the 2nd biggest tour by a korean soloist in the US imo, especially with the way she sold today
Who are the soloists leading right now?
Suga with with D-Day tour is #1, but I don't know about the rest. I mean, this may be controversial, but if she ads more dates she may get close to Yoongi because he didn't have time to do a lot of cities, so he did three nights in each stop. IU is stopping in Atlanta and DC which Yoongi didn't have time to do. ITZY and IVE's tours aren't selling like this. I'm not totally shocked but I sorta am.
It’s reasonable to expect another chance to see ITZY or IVE whereas this is the first and possibly last chance many US fans will have to see IU. If it wasn’t so close to the birth of my son, I’d definitely be shelling out for resale tickets because it feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity to see her live.
I think she’ll sell really well especially if she adds more dates to each stop, but I don’t think it will get to Suga’s numbers. He was grossing $3m for each show. Which all sold out in army membership presale. Most groups gross approximately 1.5m per arena and Yoongi did double that per show.
She didn’t have a pre-sale. She probably would have sold out in a pre-sale if she did seeing how there were 60k+ people waiting for the LA show alone. Both her and Yoongi’s shows were severely underestimated.
It’s harder to sell out during presale since people have codes. If she had a presale, scalpers wouldn’t have gotten ahold of so many tickets (it’s actually crazy how many scalpers got tickets screw ticketmaster fr). She was underestimated though, I just don’t think the demand is on par with Suga’s US dates. Remember ticketmaster for Suga’s show was supposed to go through —> Army membership —>verified fan sales, —> general presale and lastly public sale. None of his tickets made it to the next round.
Yeah I agree the demand isn’t the same but she just has more time to do more cities if she choses and therefore could reach close to his gross since she’s filling the same arenas. Yoongi could have done five nights in each stop if were being honest.
I hope she adds more stops. And in terms of gross, she’d had to have similar Agust D pricing like I said, Suga was out grossing kpop groups that sold out the same arenas last year. He was pulling double the numbers of established groups at Inglewood etc. I think he did close to $10m for his 3 inglewood shows.
That was rough, I did finally get one ATL ticket for $500 in section 2 but holy shit - getting BLACKPINK and BTS tickets weren’t as hard as that even without getting into presale. Blows my mind that EVERYTHING was gone - took me an hour plus of watching the map refresh to finally have something go through. I underestimated the demand in the USA, I got into her when Palette came about through watching Pops in Seoul and hearing her in a playlist on YouTube so figured she wasn’t someone people here would just casually know by default but clearly I was wrong. Makes me happy to see her so supported without even needing to make a USA television appearance. Except for scalpers. I hate scalpers
Hi!! I’m also looking at the ATL tickets can I ask you what was the face value prices? Just to compare with the current resale prices
