I'M GOING TO THE IU WORLD TOUR CONCERT (ALONE) | How I Got IU Tickets (the stress & anxiety 📈)

[@iTransfiguration]

congrats! I totally feel your stress and anxiety. I managed to snag a floor seat (paid official platinum) but will be going alone to DC ~

[@thai8020]

Congrats!! I was also planning on going in DC, but tickets are so expensive!!

[@iTransfiguration]

@@thai8020 if you monitor ticket masterover the next few months, there may be a deal as resellers may lower their prices. Hope you will be able to get one too!

[@kristinshim]

ahhh how exciting! congrats to youuu

[@kristinshim]

hope you get a ticket!!!

[@reinaweis]

Oh i'm jealous, I love IU so much. Have fun!

[@kristinshim]

AW THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@ryekun1212]

Yoooo let's goooooo!! Congratulations! Also, just wanna share my experience getting mine here in Seoul. I actually didn't got tickets until the week leading to her concert.. Did not lose hope like I was checking everyday since the ticket selling started which was like a good month and a half ago.. It was just a normal evening dinner for me, booted up my laptop after eating dinner and checked melon tickets again and to my surprise, there's a seat!!! I booked it and watched her live in KSPO.. All my efforts of checking tickets everyday was worth it!

[@robtucker6303]

Congratulations… I am so happy for whoever gets to see IU live. There’s only two performers in the world that my heart aches to hear live… IU and Solji. It’s just so incredible that out of all the artists in the world, my absolute favorites are both Korean… and I don’t speak Korean 🤣

[@kristinshim]

AW THANK YOU SO MUCH!! HAHAH that's amazing, maybe one day you will be fluent ☺️

[@robtucker6303]

@@kristinshim I guess that there’s always hope! But I have been a Kpop fan since late first generation and a K Drama fan Hotelier and My Love Pattzzi… way back in 2002👀👀

YEEYY!!! CONGRATSSS!!

[@kristinshim]

THANK YOU!!1

[@laypierre09]

Congrats!!! I also got the chance to snag a ticket to go by myself to Atlanta! Never thought that I would ever get to see IU outside of a screen lol. It will also be my first K-pop concert and probably last with how expensive this was 😂. It’s IU, so it’s worth it!!

[@kristinshim]

YAYYYY!!! HAHAHA SAME HERE. first and last.... but so worth it. i hope u have a great time!!

[@liting.c]

congrats kristin!!! so happy that you managed to get the tix after going through so much 😭😭😭 guess the ticketing process is the same universal haha it was insane for singapore too but am happy my friend managed to get the tixs, can't wait to see iu irl

[@pyeow]

Congrats!!! You will def enjoy her concert! I attended her Mar10concert in Seoul and is leaving back to Malaysia tomorrow. No regrets and so grateful to have been able to get a ticket to come here.

[@kristinshim]

AHHH THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO HEAR!! glad you enjoyed it

[@pyeow]

Concert day!!! Enjoy to the fullest. Looking forward to your vlog/reaction etc

[@AA-kj9ul]

Was actually waiting for your IU reaction/contents! Yayyyyyy ❤🎉

[@kristinshim]

WIPPPEEEE

[@sleepeanut]

Oh my goooood I had the exact same ticket buying process and thought process as you... I had 5 friends that wanted to spend around $450 for their ticket but all of them except one dropped out when they saw the ticket prices. Even though they are crazy expensive I'm still so happy I got tickets to the LA concert, it has been on my life bucket list too!

[@wilson.0226]

Congratsssss!!!!!! I had the same experience getting IU's concert ticket for Singapore, but I couldn't get it. In the end, I spent a lot more to get a ticket from a third party. I know the stress and enxiety when trying to get the ticket, but trust me, it is definitely worth it! Enjoy the concert! BTW, I went myself as well, and that was the best concert experience I have ever had. I LOVE IU FOREVER!

[@OnceSix]

Wow, that's crazy. I got really lucky, first time buying concert ticket from ticketmaster, I was like 700 in line and was able to snag 2 tickets for $200 each for the NJ show, looks to be a decent seatingl

[@kristinshim]

OMG that's insane. SUPER EXCITED FOR U!

[@yinampersandc435]

Congratulations for your ticket. I love your IU Lilac album reaction so much and waiting for your reaction of this album then found out this vdo. I'm happy for your new chapter of life. Wish you has a good time in upcoming IU's concert.

THANK YOUUUU

[@LyssusX]

The experience of trying to get a ticket for IU was brutal. I was STRESSED out of my mind. Had several friends help join the queue. Luckily I got 3866 in the queue. Saw huge swathes of seats disappear as I tried 5 or 6 times to get several seats. Panicked and ended up just getting 1 seat for myself

[@kristinshim]

LEGIT NO JOKE. BUT AYEEEE U GOT THAT TICKET WOO!!

[@twaenablink]

so happy for you!

[@kristinshim]

THANK YOU SM.

[@kenwong4182]

Congratulations, no matter how stressful it is now, it will only get more stressful in the future. She will give you the best concert of your life so it is worth it.

[@natepark6175]

Congrats! Totally felt the stress on ticket day T_T. Managed to get floor seats so Inglewood here I come heh

[@natepark6175]

@@kristinshim That'd be so nice! Do you know of any good food places in the area? I'm coming from Seattle and don't know the area at all LOL

[@grungedOUT]

OMG. This was me on the same day! I had 18457 people in front of me. And getting to snag those blue popping circles on ticketmaster was like trying to catch hopping blue frogs. Most stressful day of my life to date. But I too got tickets! We did well fellow Uena. This was a bucket list event for me too. Hope we all have the best night at the concert ever! 😊💕

[@rodolfosoto2960]

I'm really happy for you, I mean it, Uaenas are not selfish and every opportunity to make a new IU fan are welcome. Course everybody wants to see her live, but life will give back to the kind. So enjoy an please share as much as you can from that experience. 두 눈을 꼭 감고 마법을 건다

[@alohakawika]

Awesomeee. This is the one for LA ya?? See you there!

[@IreneCruz-u8u]

Hi Hojoo! I really liked your IU reaction videos, wish you still doing it for her recent album, THE WINNING.

[@lingth]

I am going to be so stressed on 15 March for Singapore IU concert ticket sale. I immediately applied for leave when I knew it's on that day, I can't concentrate at work if I am going to be buying tickets at 10am on Friday anyway.

[@kristinshim]

AHHH GOOD LUCK TO YOU

[@lingth]

@@kristinshim yeah I hope so also, I see in Korea, ppl camp in internet cafes to buy tickets, I wonder if it's really higher chance to buy tickets at those places.

@@kristinshim I managed to get 1 ticket for her 2nd day in Singapore..21 April.. yeah so happy.. I didn't take leave from work in vain to buy..

congrats!!! it was really hard to get tickets and floor tickets were insanely expensive.

[@kristinshim]

it was SO hard 😞

[@geysers777]

Congratulations! LA was a bloodbath, so I wasn't successful getting any tickets there, but I got one in New Jersey. Not the most ideal since I'd have to fly, but better than nothing!

[@kristinshim]

omg, still so exciting new jersey!!! maybe u can do a pit-stop over to new york LOL - safe travels

[@pynckx101]

me too! i'm going alone because a friend backout and doesn't have a budget. But IU is IU.... took a chance and got my tix here in London. I can't wait for her this June 21! Hopefully we can survive the commute because she has the same concert date with Taylor Swift on the other side of the Arena. 😂

[@norwahidashamsuddin5329]

I battled the tickets for the Singapore tour. It was nerve-wracking as hell. But I made it after refreshing the page 178372732 times! 😂

[@Chinzo_]

I'm going solo also to NJ concert. I was 7000 in line and couldn't get a ticket. I just bought one off seatgeak as resell prices on ticketmaster are pretty crazy.

[@kristinshim]

AHHHH GOOD JOB! 7000 IN LINE THAT'S CRAZY

[@jmomm]

I will be there too! I have zero idea what to wear...

[@kristinshim]

@@jmomm SAME.

[@Lynbell_]

I almost gave up at the end as well, my mom was helping me keep track of the blue dots coming up 😭 My budget was also $300 as well and there were times I almost went for the $600 tickets for the ATL show but was able to get one slightly under my budget 😭

[@kristinshim]

awww so sweet your mom was able to help!!! AND YAYYY U GOT IT :D

[@jmomm]

I have nosebleed seats in NJ. Happy to go though. What should I wear? I am 51 years btw.

[@marielortega1020]

Exactly my story! Snagged a single ticket for myself at waaaay above my price range hahahaha

[@kristinshim]

let's not talk about it... no REGRETS HAHA

[@xiaoxia5]

congrats. i loathe going to concerts, and the only way i'd consider going to see IU would be if it was a show in Korea. however, for amusement purposes, i wanted to see if i could get tickets for the Forum show. when i logged in, i was 62K in the queue. saw that, and logged out.

[@kristinshim]

oh no... that is so sad >_< there are some resale tickets i think u could still snag?!?!

[@xiaoxia5]

@@kristinshim yeah, and the ones that are just ok start at $700. best seats way up in front were about $4K. even if i was a multi billionaire, i draw the line at overpriced tickets because the bulk of that amount goes to the cringy scalpers, and not the artist.

[@danl1924]

I got my ticket off the secondary market for about $260.

[@teresaadela1533]

I got 680, with fee 780 (floor). My sis tho, she got the same price with you. But now we have too many and trying to resell them at face value, I think people thought we increase the price cus of how expensive it is, but we really arent even a cent…

[@kristinshim]

omggg that's crazy!! >_< how many are you selling!?!? is this for LA?
