KBS Immortal Song’s concert at the MetLife Stadium in New York featuring Ateez, New Jeans etc is met with poor ticket sales

Stadium? What...

If they want to sell out better lower tickets, I would have thought psy,ateez,new jeans could sell it though.

I think it will probs sell out though its got 38 days left.

Not a single relevant touring act present...what can we expect.

Also the vast majority of seats cost about 65 bucks. That's not super pricey, but I think everything but ground seats shold be lowered to around 40 bucks to sell. Maybe even consider 20 for the nosebleeds.

newjeans should work on being more exclusive because why are they wasting their time with this.

Not sure you can say this, each act apparently will only get 30 minutes to perform and ticket prices are about 600 bucks if the translated comments are to be believed. I bet if it was a regular 2 hour concert for Ateez, NJ, etc with normal tix prices of 100-200 bucks, they would each sell at least 10k in NYC.

It’s way too expensive and the main acts people seem to be excited for (Ateez and NEWJEANS) aren’t even performing for that long

meh lineup...expensive ticket prices...trying to target both kpop fans and the ahjummas in Fort Lee/Palisades Park/Leonia and the garment district. good luck.

If you translate the comment, if you go to TM website directly you'll see very few tickets are going for anywhere close to that price, in fact tickets next to the stage are 455 buck right now and a little bit back, still ground are 255. The majority of tickets are going for 65 Dollars.

They likely aren't selling because the acts have very small or non existent fanbases in New York. They would have been smarter booking this in LA where a much larger Kpop core exists. As I said the prices don't represent the value of the acts on show, 65 bucks for stand seats is too high. They should consider lowering first tier stands to 40 and nose bleeds to 20 instead of the 65.

With this line up they would never selling out this venues especially with that expensive tickets. Maybe if they give Ateez and Nj two hours for themselves it probably could work but only 30 min and you asked those fans to watch the other artists that they don't even familiar with? That's crazy. On top of that in New York? Bffr.

There have already been a number of concerts very close together at Metlife or Newark. I wouldn't be surprised if people are running low on money at the moment or saving their money for other groups who will soon be dropping albums and going on tour. Also, most of those acts just don't have the fanbase here to sell out a ton of tickets.

Maybe people don't want to buy tickets to see NewJeans and ATEEZ performing just 2-3 songs?

Quote from tetetete

kbs is a public broadcaster so i dont think they care about burning money...

They’re still no point booking a stadium

Hybe should make a tour for New Jeans. why waste time with this

Psy, Lena Park and Kim Taewoo!!! Ateez isn't too shabby either.

$800 is for front row. $65 is a bargain.

I think the problem is Americans only know Psy.

Its training & exposure.

17k with that pricing?

that's still a lot for a kbs festival.

they just overestimate their game too much

Good take

Lol, how embarrassing. Guess streaming numbers don't translate to butts in the seats.

Well... I wouldn't want to fly all the way to New York just to watch Immortal Songs.

I would rather be staying in my own country and watch it on my computer.

Not many people would pay 600 dollars to see the artists they want perform like 3 songs and dip.

Bro I wouldn’t pay 600 bucks for immortal songs if I only wanted to see 1 artists there. Not saying NJs or anyone could do a stadium but this isn’t the best example

Also that one comment saying only BP and BTS can seek Met Life like Twice wasn’t the first girl group to do it. JYP were the fuck is your mediaplay.

Not a concert. Nice try but no cigar.

They should have invited a living fossil who would have not missed a chance to enter a New York Stadium which she can't do on her own.

It takes time to build a touring fanbase when I saw BP in Newark back in 2019 the concert hall was barely 70% full and now tickets were sold out in a matter of hours.

They should have definitely had a more legacy act here as well or more idol groups.

You're right. It's only the second biggest music festival in the U.S. with over 70,000 people in attendance just for them.

Nice try though.

Black and mild will do nicely

"Just for them."

And I'm a monkey's uncle. I know you're mad that your expectations of them being able to put butts in seats for actual concerts here isn't exactly panning out, but let's not stretch the facts to their limits of elasticity.

Who can sell some of these tickets are basically mostly NewJeans and ATEEZ.

NewJeans, despite their popularity, is a rookie group who has never done a world tour. It takes time to build a reputation up as a touring act and they will have to start with theaters/arenas before going to bigger places, just like every other act. Including the biggest K-pop touring acts we've known.

ATEEZ is in the middle of a worldwide tour. They already did like 11 arena concerts on US for said tour and were headliners of KCON LA Day 2 last month. So It's not like their fans are starving to see them live to pay massively for a KBS Special.

That would be an upgrade, since monkeys at least get a chance to touch some grass. Something a terminally online and clearly triggered stan like yourself might aspire towards.

But yes, let's take your clearly credible word for it, with no obtusely hidden agenda to speak of, as opposed to the word of a person who was at said festival

Lmfao people were saying New Jeans could sell stadium.

Lmao no sane Bunny said NewJeans could sell out stadiums today.

I personally said they could tour the US today if they wanted to. Which is absolutely true.

Nothing but petty insults. And I'm the triggered one? LOL

I have no agenda, hidden or otherwise. You, on the other hand, are obviously quite the NJ stan and need a wee bit of a reality check. Well here it is.

If it were true they'd be able to prove it.

bruh, they still have a month.

They need to add Jungkook in the line up.

I'm sorry a random forum poll that chose NewJeans as the next group up has you malding in mommy's basement.

Maybe Twice will win the next random AKP poll.

And yes, I'm petty king. Duh. If you say something ignorant, which you did, I'll let you know about it.

Time for you to go find a branch to swing from, Mr. Monkey's Uncle.

Who said this are either K-pop stans using NewJeans' name for their petty fanwars (as usual) or a random fan who doesn't understand anything about touring stats, then you see people spreading it as if the whole fandom was expecting them to sold out a stadium on US by themselves
