As what I said in my previous post, I will instantly update you girls (and guys?) once I hear something about GD's One Of A Kind (OOAK) Concert in Jakarta. And guess what? They spread the big news that I was waiting for TODAY! The day when I went to watch G.I Joe Retaliation with a very best guy friend of mine ^^ (and nope, i don't friendzone him. we ARE friends since junior school) So I will stop blabbering and tell you the GREAT NEWS! :D
So, as what we knew, Big Daddy Entertainment was chosen by YG Entertainment as the promoter of the previous BIGBANG Alive Tour in Jakarta on last October 2012. And because of that, we're sure that Big Daddy will be chosen again as the promoter for GD's OOAK Concert this June. The news that the concert will be held in June 15th and 16th already spread up on twitter like a few weeks ago, on Demi's concert day to be exact. And Big Daddy also has confirmed it by giving us the trailer screenshot :)
Since that day, I knew that the ticket sales can be started at anytime. How can I know? Because that's what happened with BIGBANG's Alive Tour. They opened up the ticket sales 2 months before the show. And since GD's concert will be in June, I'm sure that the ticket sales will be opened this April on any date possible.
Just this evening after I finished watching G.I. Joe Retaliation, I opened up twitter and saw this seating plan for GD's concert!! Right after seeing that tweet, I instantly look for the price information. Prepare your hearts people, this will be shocking to you. Here is what I found:
First thing I notice is the stage layout is not as big as BIGBANG's. Well I understand it because hey it's a solo concert. You can't expect the man will run 50 metres across the stage, right? ;) And then the seating plan.... well, it is the best seating plan if you want to have that kind of stage. The venue, they use the same venue with BIGBANG's Alive Tour, which is in Mata Elang International Stadium (MEIS in short) in Ancol. This also seems fine to me. Oh I will provide you with BIGBANG's Alive Tour Seating plan for you below to see and compare~
However, there are 2 things that disturbs me. First, notice there's a small gap in the green zone? The one that's closer to the stage is for Fast Track Priority Area. I translated it as "the area for the people who are allowed to get in first". In previous concert (not from Big Daddy, not BIGBANG's), there is a privilege for those who uses Samsung Galaxy. Those people can come into the venue first. Well if this is what will happen in GD's OOAK concert, then I probably can enter first because I use Samsung Galaxy S2 :p BUT, if I have to buy something pricey to get in first, then let me burn T^T I will be totally broke after I buy the ticket!
The second thing that bugs me, is the ticket price. The blue and red section has rational pricing (IDR 550k and IDR 850k both seated). The green section, here is where the mental pricing begins. It is sold for IDR 1,450k!!! The yellow section, which I suppose is a VIP section, is sold for IDR 2,000k!!! That's super MENTAL! Come on promoter, GD is only one-fifth of BIGBANG!! I didn't expect the ticket price will be one-fifth of BIGBANG, maybe just one-third or half. But the VIP zone is being sold for the same price as BIGBANG's VIP zone! The green zone is also too damn expensive. If it's IDR 1,200k then I will shut my mouth. Don't they know that we ALSO want to buy those pretty and expensive merchandises as well as watch the holy concert??
Well, I'm not in rage mode right now because G.I. Joe is sooooo good it can even keep the bad mood away. But I will be more than happy if they reduce the ticket price. BUT, I will still go to the concert anyway. I planned to go on both days before I knew the price. Now that I knew it, I think I will have to choose one T^T By the way, the ticket sales will be opened on April 7th at 10AM via myticket. They also have the installment program of 3/6/12 months with 6% interest (which I'm not interested in). I will not buy it at that time, though. I will have to wait till next month because I'm still saving up hehe I'm sure it won't sell as fast as BIGBANG's so I don't really worry~
Anyway friends, please help me decide which day to go T^T The concert will be held in Saturday, June 15th at 8PM and Sunday, June 16th at 4PM. I really don't know which day to choose. My friend told me to get the Sunday one because it's the last day so usually it will be more exciting, but I also don't want to miss the opening day T^T If only I were Bill Gates' daughter right now *long sigh*
Once again, please help me decide~ Leave your opinions in the comment section down below. I really appreciate every comments that I get ^^ Thank you in advance ♥~
UPDATE!!
So the BigDaddy, the promoter, finally speak about what the "Fast Track Priority Area" means. Only those who bought the green section (festival) ticket can buy the Priority ticket. They will enter the venue from a different gate and will be on the most front area of both green section. That means you will have to pay more than the usual ticket price if you want to be in the front.
They will also sell soundcheck ticket. But this time, anyone who already has a ticket can buy it. It's limited, though. As what I read, only 500 tickets (each?) for the Priority and Soundcheck. The sales of both the tickets will start this week. I haven't bought my ticket yet. And now I'm being so insecure because I know I won't be able to get the front T^T ah.... may I cry now? haha
