They gotta make money somehow.

Did their con do that poorly? I thought the audience for kpop was much bigger now than in 2016 or prior.

And they're a group that's selling over 2 million per album...

But those fans bulk buying the albums can’t magically make duplicates of themselves to fill the concert

According to dreamies SM used dynamic pricing, tickets priced weirdly high ($400USD for a seat that once cost $150USD for 17), LOADS of scalpers who only dropped the price the day before, only released the tickets 3 weeks before the date and this is a pic from the newark date where half the fans didn't make it into the venue till after the first ment.

So basically SM screwed them over just like they did RV.

That's the point.

Touring, which is the main way artists make money, is the great equalizer.

Treasure has yet to have a million seller album and they've sold out domes multiple times in multiple countries.

Industry experts always say that physical albums are nothing more than marketing tools to get people to buy concert tickets.

Physical albums are seen little more than selling t-shirts, posters and other merch. They're viewed the same way.

And physicals are not a thing outside out of Kpop. Haven't been since maybe 1997.

Why are you comparing Treasure's Japanese tour to NCT's US one?

Selling out in Japan, SEA or South Korea is not tough for any big 4 group as these are core Kpop markets.

before we judge, maybe the capacity they realeased for sale is way less than the max capacity of the venue?

The seated areas do seem to be full though. It's just the floor that is empty, which is still kinda odd imo.

Another dumb news. Everyone knows SM groups are not big in the west.

Treasure most definitely won’t be touring the US any better than NCT Dream lol.
