From Chaotic Festival Updates to Fan Etiquette

Music Elixir

Why does buying concert tickets feel like navigating a maze? Join us on this episode of Music Elixir as we share our frustrations and insights about the chaotic world of ticket sales and pre-sales. From the baffling phenomenon of entire shows selling out during pre-sales to the impact of fan club and TikTok pre-sales on ticket availability and pricing, we leave no stone unturned. Sarah and DJ Panic also reveal their personal strategies for managing the high costs of attending concerts, particularly in pricey cities like New York and Boston, making this a must-listen for any live music aficionado.
Switching up the tempo, we delve into the ever-changing landscape of K-pop festivals and concerts. We express our excitement about upcoming events in Boston, and our success in snagging prime seats for the Epik High concert at the Orpheum Theatre. But it’s not all good news; we discuss the disappointing postponements of ARIA Fest in Europe and WeBridge in Vegas, along with the eyebrow-raising ticket prices for KCON LA. These incidents open up a broader conversation about the struggles festival organizers face and the ripple effects on fans eagerly awaiting their favorite acts.
Finally, we confront a serious issue affecting the concert scene: inappropriate fan behavior. Highlighting unsettling incidents involving military returnees and BTS members, we stress the importance of respecting personal boundaries at events. Our discussion underscores the severe consequences of unwanted physical contact and calls for fans to treat public figures with humanity and respect. Wrapping up on a lighter note, we send best wishes for Ninomiya's birthday and we share thrilling updates on upcoming events, including a highly anticipated streaming show on August 16th. Tune in for an episode filled with rants, updates, and heartfelt conversations.
