TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Korean pop star IU had a sell-out moment Wednesday (March 6) when the tickets for her upcoming concert in Taipei sold out in under a minute. The demand far exceeded the 20,000 tickets available, with an estimated 700,000 fans attempting to purchase simultaneously.
The "2024 IU H.E.R. WORLD TOUR CONCERT" marked IU's return to Taipei after a four-year hiatus. Fans are excited for her performances scheduled for April 6 and 7 at the Taipei Arena.
The extreme demand crashed the ticketing platform KKTIX, a testament to IU's immense popularity not just in Korea, but also in Taiwan. The promoters clarified that there wouldn't be any additional shows. However, at 7 p.m., they will "clear the tickets," offering another chance for disappointed fans.
In an effort to combat scalping, the concert will use real-name ticketing. Organizers called upon the audience not to share their personal information with strangers. Any returned tickets or those that violate the real-name policy will be released at an unspecified time by KKTIX. Fans were advised to check Kuan's International's Facebook page for updates.
