it's still impossible. see, singapore is a very small country, the sponsors can't be sure of how many people will go to her concert and how many people can afford the money.
Average ayu's fans ages are from 14 to 25 years old. these group are mostly students, they don't have the money.
then let's not forget that ayu's pay are VERY high!!!! higher then Rain, and ayu always bring her own team and production team, those cost a lot of money.yes, the cost are highly then Rain. therefore, the tickets WILL be higher then Rain's
secondly, most of Rain's fans here are around 23 to 50 years old. they earn more money, they can afford to go.

because there are lazy Singaporeans who prefer to see Rain here in our little country.

well, in Singapore Rain is more popular then Ayu. the korean craze is VERY strong here.

EDIT: Just want to ask, if the tickets were officially priced at SG$888 or was it because of the limited number of tickets, the highest people auctioned the tickets off was 888?
that is the original price set by the organisation. the following are the other ticket prices

all prices are in Singapore dollars
Standard - S$488, S$388, S$288, S$188.

Still way too expensive. I'm shocked Rain (or any pop singer for that matter) tickets cost so much.
the sponsor had to set the ticket this high.....because they had to get back their cost money.
and Singapore is so small, they won't be able to know how many people can go. and the concert is only for a night.
