Fan Reactions: Tiered Pricing vs. Flat Pricing
Many fans support the tiered system, noting that cheaper ticket options make the concert more accessible. Some expressed relief that they can enjoy the show at a lower cost without paying premium prices for distant seats.
💬 Korean Netizen Reactions:
- “I’m terrible at ticketing, so I always end up with seats in the back… but if it’s around 130,000 KRW, that’s great!”
- “I really love the tiered pricing system!”
- “Honestly, having a flat price for all seats feels unfair, so the tiered pricing is better.”
- “I’m jealous.”
- “I really love the tiered pricing system.”
However, some fans compared it to Taemin’s 2023 concert, where a flat pricing system was used. Back then, tickets were priced at ₩198,000 KRW for the premium “Metamorph” section (which included soundcheck access) and ₩154,000 KRW for general seating—meaning fans paid the same price regardless of seat location.
The Bigger Picture: K-Pop Concert Prices on the Rise
With K-Pop concert ticket prices rising, many agree that tiered pricing is inevitable. It allows fans with different budgets to attend while ensuring premium seating reflects its value.
Despite the debate, excitement remains high for Taemin’s 2025 KSPO Dome concert, as fans eagerly anticipate another unforgettable performance.
