Tips & Tricks
Join Fan Clubs to pre-sales
To gain priority access to pre-sales, register for the fan club. Requirements vary for different fan clubs, but if you’re successful, you’ll score better seats. This is because fan club members get to select seats first, and the leftovers will be open to the public for general sale.
Ensure a good Internet connection
South Korea has one of the fastest Internet speeds in the world. Therefore, in order to compete for a ticket, you’ll need to have a decent Internet speed, or be at a place with super-fast Internet connection.
Be Prepared!
The phrase “Practice makes perfect” applies in this case. Before the actual day of ticket sales, do a mock check-out and familiarise yourself with the booking process. In addition, ensure that you have registered for the ticket platform beforehand.
Moreover, doing a the mock check-out will allow you to use the auto-fill function to save precious seconds. On the actual day itself, make sure that you’re logged in to your account and keep refreshing the page before the tickets are released for sale. It’s every man for himself in this fastest-fingers-first game.
