So what are the chances these tickets will be instantly sold out in mere minutes?



Not to mention the possibility that there will be people coming only to see IU performance (aka rabid fans with professional camera equipment to take pictures/videos for their fan clubs).... www.twitch.tv/KoreanUsher

It would suck if her fans buy all the tickets just to come see her perform, while caring very little about BW itself, and in process deny the tickets for actual BW fans.

Is this only the grand finals, or is the Ro4 being played there, as well? Maybe they can stick IU right after the Ro4. Very much this haha > June 2010 - August 2017: waiting for the return of Starcraft

Yes, but those numbers are inflated. What happens next time when they organize it in a stadium and there's no IU? Yes, but those numbers are inflated.

masterbreti Profile Blog Joined October 2010 Korea (South) 2638 Posts Last Edited: 2015-01-30 18:53:18 #13 is there any way for us foreigners to get tickets? Just seems like I can't even sign up or anything, even just to have everything ready for when tickets go on sale. looks like my dreams of going are dashed ugh...



but seriously a TL meetup for the event is in order, whether meeting up before the matches for lunch then those to have tickets can head over, or after for a dinner type thing.



EDIT: Someone who speaks Korean better than I should contact sonic, and try to see if he can't reserve some seats for us foreigners, so that those of us who can't access the site, or who are not in Korea currently are able to attend the event.

Stratos Profile Blog Joined July 2010 Czech Republic 6104 Posts #14 Yeah it seems like getting an ipin is the only way and even then there's no guarantee it'll work for foreigners. Trying to get an ipin I was asked for a "foreigner no." which I'm not sure what it is and if I can get it. Either way figuring it out in two days seems quite unlikely from my experience with this stuff. Looks like we'll have to rely on someone who can shop online in Korea or be very sad. En Taro Violet

iPIN is the epitome of evil. The South (!!) Korean government required that each web site track the national identification number of each registered user in order to control and suppress dissidents. Koreans used to accept this injustice in silence until identity theft using stolen national identification numbers became a huge problem due to the terrible ActiveX/Windows-based security used by Korean web sites. The Korean government addressed this by requiring people to use an iPIN, which is not as useful to identity thieves because it can be changed once it is leaked, but still allows the government to track Internet users.



Foreigners who have an alien registration card and reside in Korea can get an iPIN, but not the rest of us. I suppose you could try contacting the Sonic TV PD, but what would be the best way to reach him? Afreeca? Facebook? iPIN is the epitome of evil. The South (!!)

Those feel more like LoL exclusive social media outlets. They haven't even mention a single thing on BW yet. Those feel more like LoL exclusive social media outlets. They haven't even mention a single thing on BW yet.
