I am going to Hong kong... Any1 interested?

but also I'm pretty sure not every AYu fan can afford $888 for a concert ticket AYu has a big fan base I know I could never afford that. I'm sure alot of people can't either they shouldn't make the ticks that much they could be way cheaper. This is just a way to make money...

oh not cool for singapore =\....I know there are a LOT of her fans there >:[...they should totally drop like taipei~

but....i'd SO go to one in singapore/china if it was near my b-day/summer :D

Lacus - Thanks for your insight into the prices and general info about Singapore's concert sales. I hope it'll stop the "he's stupid" comments. There's a lot of money and work that goes into concerts, especially for big sets for a small tour.

What, so we're not allowed to express our opinions of high concert ticket prices? They're invalid because they don't mesh with your views?

It's fine if you have a valid reason to go along with it. I didn't tell you to not say it, I was hoping to stop it from becoming a thread littered with "Rain is stupid/not popular/etc" posts. It's not the performer's fault that the SG organizers won't import Ayumi's tour for being "too expensive" and they don't set the prices either. The SG$888 I guess is the highest price per ticket but it wasn't the only price.

It would be the closest possible to the stage.

no ayu for Singapur then...

as much as it'll be great to go to an ayu concert
im not going to go overseas just to do so...

guess it's gg for me then.

that's a shame...

is the price for a ticket there really equivalent to $888!!!! That's incredible! Is there anyone in the states even that high??? WOW!

:thud :thud :thud :thud

@@ wanna faintz reading this...

again, i think LacusClyne has repeated herself many times... S$888 tix is only for people who have contacts. So, generally, the highest price would be S$488 in general.

Well, I am definately not pro-Rain or wutsoever, but wutever price that he set, I dun really give a damn care. If u like him, go ahead; if u dun, why bothered by that? Go for Rain because of his sexy appeal? Well, its just his style. Who cares?! Ayu is sexy too, look at Born to Be single DVD + CD cover, that one makes my nose bleed.

Ayu can also set S$999 tix for VIP, wanna buy is up to u. Anyway, I would definately hope that Ayu will come to Sg one fine day~ May be fans from Malaysia would come to Singarpoe and watch her concert too, I think the organizer had forgotten bout that.

sigh~ i just hope she will do a world tour soon... or do a longer tour.. the time of the tour is just.. not very convenient to many people.. if the fan is based on teenagers/students like the newspaper suggested.... rite?~~~

i want to go see the concert~~~~~~~~~~~~

i guess ayu would want to do a show with her whole setup and not to have that stuff would be taking away from her performances? it makes sense but it sucks at the same time.

thanks for realising this. i thought i might had to type that at least 10 times for people to understand that.
i'm getting sick of people screaming at the price......
yes, i do hope ayu will have another Asia tour and come to singapore.
that's why i'm crossing my fingers hoping that Rain's concert will be a sucess. because this is the first time singapore had such a costly concert, if he sucess. ayu has a chance!
and looking at the ticket sales, it's pretty good! 80% is sold out!

So sad that ayu won't do the concert in Singapore.
I'm sure if she tour to S'pore,not only fans from S'pore but also fans from Malaysia and Indonesia,like me, will attend to her concert.

Yeah, we shouldnt put other artists down just coz we'll supporting Ayu. I'm sure Ayu wun want us to do that either.

If Ayu comes sg, we'll go for sure! If not, we'll find some other way then. There's a way out somehow =)

Kyomiayu, u going to Ayu concert in Hong Kong in April?

LacusClyne, thanks for all the interesting info but I don't agree on a few things.

I don't think her payment is bigger than Rain because Rain is a popular act in almost every single country in Asia and organizers would probably do anything to have him to do a concert in their country (and he also have much more experience in worldwide tours, so the organizers are sure the event will sell). He also do concerts in bigger stadiums while Ayu will make her concert in arenas for about 7,000-10,000 people (in another asian countries, that is, not in Japan), and if you do a concert in a stadium you're obviously getting more money than if you're doing in an arena.


Isn't probably cheaper to buy the $800 tickets than paying for a flight ticket + accomodation + transportation + tickets for another concert?

I think he is more popular than Ayu in every Asian country (besides Japan, obviously). He stars in dramas and Kpop is bigger than Jpop in most countries, so...

ahhh....they could've just made it a smaller concert or something.
