So a week ago SM announced Aespa’s LA showcase that will take place on June 26th in the Youtube Theater ( 6,000 capacity) and at first everything was completely fine, it was announced that all the tickets were sold out in like 2 hours so SM decided to add a second night for the showcase due to big demand.
After a few hours more than half of the seats were available for resale for CRAZY prices, I literally saw tickets for $2,000 just for a SHOWCASE. So all that demand than SM experienced at first was only resellers buying it and not real fans. So now 8 days after the announcement and having only one week left till the showcase, we have A LOT of available seats (even when the resellers have lowered the price, some of them even for less than face value). For the first night isn’t that shocking and it’ll look fuller than it seems now but for the second night majority of the seats are still available when they haven’t even opened the upper sections yet.
I guess this is kinda a reality check that just because K-pop has gained more popularity in the last year it’s still hard for groups (especially for 4th gen ones) to fill concerts, or a showcase in this case, in the states. Hope that in the moment SM announce the details about the showcase more people will buy them, because otherwise the girls are going to perform with a lot of empty seats.
In case someone has just found out about this and is interest in going, here are the links to buy the tickets for the 2 nights: 26th of June, 27th of June
