IU - H.E.R. First World Tour - Tickets for her American tour already sold-out? 😅

There seems to be some hiccup about IU's concert in London, against Taylor Swift.

She should have booked for stadiums

I guess I got the time wrong, 12 eastern, not central.

I failed to get a ticket for both Newark and Chicago IU NEEDS to add more U.S. dates!!!! PLEASE

That's not how it works. First of all, it's not the singers' job, and this is her first World Tour. Second, concerts are not free for the agency, either. They can't pay for big stadiums if they don't know for sure, they can fill it. Your faves didn't book any stadium in the US at first, either. They only did it with their encore tour. You're so focused on stadiums, it's ridiculous.

I don't think QueenMaknae27 was shading IU, they've said a lot of nice comments about IU before. and IU does need to add more U.S. dates, the demand is crazy for the limited supply

No tickets for me, obviously nobody in the USA wants to see IU.

She would need to add 30 more dates in Taiwan to fulfill the demand

Dang the 1000 year old said I'm going international

WhyKnock even 1000 year old ditched K-O-R-E-A. Whats your thoughts on that? Which historical event correlates with current development?

Similar to a serious religious conversion

Yeah smarty pants don't you think I don't know that? I'm just saying the demand was there

Quote from David33

I'm not sure about that, maybe she didn't intend to do that, but I've seen her do the same with Moonbyul, for example. Doesn't really matter, I'm pretty sure most people don't know how these things work. I just want to clarify, that's all. I'm sure if EDAM and IU see this madness, they will add more dates later for an encore in a huge 100K stadium or something.

I'm a Uaena what are you on? And we're talking about IU here. The IU! Not some moonbyul

Gosh this does not bode well for BKK tickets too. The venue is tiny and I have yet to see how/when the tickets go on sale - ugh.

In Lee Jieun's case no one can blame the company since she is , for all practical purposes, the company.

In Lee Jieun's case that is a true statement, something which does not apply to 4th Gen idols.

Smarty pants, you only know this NOW, they can't just book a whole stadium beforehand. That's a lot of money. Now she knows how many people are interested, and she will do encores, or they will add more dates. Sure, maybe you're UAENA, but you're too fixated on stadiums, that's what I tried to say. A LOT of big name artists doing concerts at small venues, because they like the old school feel of it, too, not to mention it's much cheaper for everyone.

I'm staying stadium because of the demand. That simple. I am well aware of the process behind the scenes. A lot goes into it before booking, there are the sponsors side of things as well. YG had problems booking stadiums before due to NFL season. You don't need to make a facade that you're smarter than us. Even simple fans from twitter knows about this

Man. The Japanese lottery system needs to be implemented in the states, the scalpers are so fucking annoying

Iu concert and Ives fan meet are across each other they say

she could become the first soloist to perform a stadium in the US if the people booking her venues were smart

Venues dont know what they can do? What supply? How many numbers they think they can sell?. They don't have teams research thus stuff?

Isn't G-Idle also having a fan meet somewhere?

I keep seeing clips like this in my timeline

obviously i was talking about adding additional dates, the og dates where fine to check demand but now that the tour promoters have seen iu has a greater demand if they were smart they'd book her additional bigger venues, maybe not 50k stadium capacity but 20-30k venues would be a good upgrade

Encore Tour is another option if logistics for adding dates is a problem (she does have to travel and rest).

But she may also have acting compromises after the tour, so even that could be a problem.

Most of her concerts are at least 4 hours, I think generally that's a lot for a kpop solo artist. How long is a typical kpop concerts?

Quote from David33

For groups? 2–4 hours. Depends on the groups, most soloists doesn't really do more than 2 hours.

I believe her 2018 concert is still her longest, 5.5 hr with 43 songs, thats insane.😮

My apologies, for encore tour I mean she can try to do what Twice and BlackPink did, they initially had a tour planned, but they they added more concerts in bigger venues after the initial tour was over.
