But that’s not how it works??? the remaining tickets sold are featured on the boxscore total score. So yeah the concert didn’t sell 100k tickets.
look if aespa will have US tour, 3 concerts in let's say July 2022
tickets will go on sale today
100k people will buy tickets in just 2 days
SM or US company ticket operator gives press-release on 30th April that they sold 100k tickets for aespa US tour, and it's huge success but there will be no more tickets available.
it's still months until tour really happens...
this is also a factor that some people can't understand
even if just 10% of people return tickets/don't go to concert
that will give 90k total attendance, but it will be in JULY
not on 30th April
this is why saying SM lied wouldn't make any sense :)
