no way , it’s a lie. If you go to a website to buy a ticket , it will take you more than 1 minute. You know how fast one second is. My point is : 40,000 connections at the same time will make the network system slow down. And the people will try to buy the tickets that are near the stage, if all of them are already sold out, they will buy others.

Well, they did sold out 33,000 tickets in two seconds for the Seoul Encore concerts.

I wouldn’t doubt this news. Those fans sure are lunatics.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if their concert sold out in 1 second.  That’s ridiculously fast, but… that’s what ridiculously loving fans do, I guess…?

i think its true b/c they’re popular in japan

Add ticket to cart, input your information (address, name, etc) & credit card info and then checkout. That’ll take much longer than 1 second, and again all those connections on one server at one time would make it sluggish as well (unless they had load balancing on multiple powerful servers & a huge pipe).

I heard tickets were allowed to be pre-ordered, so off course it would take 1 sec to sell out when the site opens. I think the industry is trying to exaggerate DBSK’s achievements again.

1 second?.... was all that sold through the internet?
No way that happened, especially since they are in Japan.
I mean, I know they have a good fanbase in Japan now… but unless Casseopia took a vacation to Japan… I really doubt it. There’s no way their popularity already exceeds those like Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada, BoA, etc who have not exaggerated to such news yet.

Concert ticket pricing in Japan is usually like this :　one price for ALL tickets for a particular concert. That’s because all Japanese fans can afford to pay. Then, depending on luck of draw (ballot) - they get to be near the artistes or far far away. That’s why I dislike watching concerts in Japan.
Those who can’t get tickets through normal sales can always depend on auction sites. Not sure for this case though lol. They have a huge fanbase.

haha.  that’s pretty pathetic. 
and hell no, it ain’t no record. 
Rain sold 45,000 tickets at TOkyo Dome.

Charlotte - did you read the article? It said 40,000 in one second… one second being the key word. Was Rain 45,000 tickets in one second as well?

tohoshinki is extremely popular in japan, i believe they are #1 on the charts right now.

From something else I read, it might’ve been *oldahjumma*, I’m too lazy to check right now, I believe they said that they were basically all sold through preorders, so when they “went up for sale”, they were already sold out. One second.

Or I might’ve made that up, but I think I read it somewhere.

1 sec… seriously 1 sec? if you reloaded the page or something you would think that it would take a couple secs. it’s hard to believe if you count 1…2.. and then -ALL- 40,000 tickets are gone. probably just like at least 1,000 or somethinnggg was left and someone just exagerated since so much was gone.

with pre-ordered tickets is possible!!
open site and paff! you sell 40,000 preordered tickets in 1 sec!
lol xD

I think there’s some part without seats
if I’m in a DBSK concert (yeah in my dreams)
I’m sure that I’ll not be in a seat
maybe stand up… jumping or dancing is better

Well…. I guess it COULD be possible if everyone was waiting for ticket sales to start, and they clicked for the tickets as soon as sales began.. (?) XD I dunno.. But fans can get pretty crazy. ^___^

I think it’s mostly due to pre-orders.  Basically if you are in their official fan club Bigeast, you get to order first before anybody.  So the official members get to buy up all the tickets first and when it’s finally released for public sale, you’ll either get screwed because it’s all sold out and or you get whatever scraps are left. So I think it is possible to sell out in a second.  And it’s DBSK we’re talking about.  They have a larger following now.  Their T album 1 week cd sales in Japan totally surpassed their entire FITB album in a whole year.

DBSK Is so awesome. So they sold that many tickets? i wouldnt be surprised tho! They are so kewl! ^-^

I was jus saying the other day that even when you wana hand over your $$ and take the tic alreadi more than a sec XD Definitely pre-sold. On the other hand, reli now it seems that everything we hav to compare with the Elves? *LOL*

yeah, that’s exagerating. are they on standby even before the tickets were officially sold? 1 second? hmmm… =)

Wow, in just one second?
But if it’s TVXQ it’s possible.

Are you kidding me? 40000 tickets in a sec?

I’m sorry to say this but it’s impossible

This hurts me. D: I need to sharpen my cat-like reflexes too then. D:

ahaha…I actually believe it…I mean, who doesnt?! Even though, it’s quite unbelievable…hell, God knows what Cassiopeains can do…and its online…its not that hard to fill up informations in the internet especially when they have high speed internets….and those crazy fan girls are probably waiting for it already…

This just proves that I can never go to a DBSK concert…wahaha….

and they sold their Seoul Encore concert in 22 seconds…I think…33,000 tickets sold out in 22 seconds…do you think 40,000 tickets in one minute is impossible?!

HPDANM there’s a big difference between 40,000 in one minute vs 40,000 in one second.
