The huge amount of people seeing Twice at Metlife Stadium though

Truly impressive!!! Wow! Don't care who you are.

but but but they're flops and has-beens!!

there were still tickets being sold right before the concert started so it will be ""sold out"".

still a huge achievement and a great crowd for them!

No one ever REALLY sells out. These companies stagger their ticket sales, putting more sections on sale over time to meet the demand. It's considered "sold out" so long as they sell the entire original allotment. They also don't count resales, since the ticket was already sold, whether that person shows up or not.

You'd be hard pressed to sell significantly more tickets for a single show in this stadium than Twice did.

no one ever sells out? like taylor swift? not counting resale tickets ofc.

did this happen to bts's metlife dates? i know they always have resellers and some acts get more tickets near the date due to the stage set up.

Not even Taylor Swift. And yes, they did the same thing with BTS. Their MetLife crowds also looked much the same as Twice's.

Figuring out how many tickets they can sell based on the event's setup is something they do very early in the process. Once the initial batch of tickets go on sale, it's based entirely on demand.

i gather both taylor and ed sheeran sell more tickets than twice or bts though

Ed Sheeran set the record last month at 89,000 for MetLife

Omg this is huge! Must be so much fun being there! Go Twice!

How did he do that? A 360 degree stage? It only seats 82,000 for football, so you wouldn't be able to accomplish that with any seats blocked off. I should've added "with a similar setup." Obviously you can sell more tickets if you have a smaller stage (although no Kpop act is doing this.)

She did, but I still doubt every single seat is spoken for, and even if they somehow were, you could technically still argue it's not a true sell out in this case considering she has a large swath of her fans sitting BEHIND the stage. I mean why not sell every section in the stadium at that point, view be damned?

They sure are popular in US

I can vouch as I was there last night. Very impressive turnout. It actually was delayed a little for "traffic" because I assume there was also a fair in one of the lots, plus there's a LOT of congestion at that time on the highways connecting to the stadium, so I think they were giving people stuck outside a chance to get in, even though it was pretty filled still. Don't know if anyone else there could confirm that was the case.

By the way even though it was VERY humid, it was great! My wife and I aren't concert folks, but it was fun to see and support the girls. The stadium isn't far at all from Newark Airport so it also added to the ambience seeing airplanes pretty close up above while they were performing.

Quote from Armedryu

Of course, Twice would be flattered to be compared to taylor and ed. But still by ur definition they are not sold out right?

if the tickets they made available sold out then it's sold out. if you have tickets available and the show is about to begin then that definition of sold out is pretty flexible. it's like closing an entire section and upgrading tickets to make it sold out.

im not counting resellers.

According to pop base, they are first girl group in history to headline a sold out show at MetLife Stadium.

When will my faves flop as hard as twice?

Yes he had a 360 degree stage plus he's able to seat thousands more in that setup as they're able to put seats on where the football field is.

Twice deserves no less.

Quote from tetetete

instead of speculating u can look at the box office numbers for twice when it drops

for bts i can see ~98k for 2 days

i cant find taylor's or ed sheeran's but they typically do 100k+ for 2-3 days at metlife

yes, i understand. i'm just saying that having tickets available and then making them unavailable is an easy way of saying you have a sold out. bts might even done that, idk. either way, we all want the sold out sign.

From this to that...

No one made tickets unavailable, unless you're expecting to buy them after the show.

keep believing that but it always happens to tickets that don't sell. either they're sold at the box office during the day or they're simply not sold at all. they always remove them from the website.

Well who knows, but MetLife or Live nation or whoever is in charge opened up about 1500-2000 tickets extra in the days before the show.

I don’t understand the debate. The show is sold out end of the discussion it doesn’t matter if Ed did a 360.

Taylor or twice can’t simply not open the entire stadium due to stage setting.

Alot of people go to see twice, wich is great . So who cares if it was sold out or not? Y'all so annoying.

For a group that some say are not a Top GG, TWICE continues to raise the level of flopping

#flopliketwice

Why does selling out matters? We're talking about tens of thousands of people simultaneously attending the same concert, you need to be completely bitter and obtuse to still argue about it but being completely sold out. No one cares.

weird, doesn't it matter if they sold out last minute, it still sold out and the girls are making money so I don't see anything wrong with that

I don't have to believe anything, I know how this works. You're obviously desperate to push this narrative that the show wasn't "sold out", even after I explicitly told you it didn't matter how many tickets were available the day of. I'm guessing you're a Blink, but it doesn't really matter the reason why. You can stare at Ticketmaster wondering where all the tickets went, while the rest of us will acknowledge that you can't buy tickets for a concert that already happened.

I actually agree. But kpop agencies do not agree with what you are saying, they crave that sold out label very much.

believe me, i am anything but a blink lmao. twice still sold at least 45k tickets which is amazing, kpop agencies are the ones obsessed with the sold out label.

Twice is doing so well.

Love that for them

Never thought I'd see TWICE selling out huge stadiums in the USA. Congratulations!
