Rubbish. I called for tickets the day of the show, but once they got stumped after an english question they finally couldn't answer, another lady came on the line. I couldn't speak a darn word of korean, but she was incredibly helpful/nice the whole time. Then she asks my nationality (Chinese-American), and finally 8 hrs later I'm picking up my ticket at the theatre amid a table full of old Korean ladies I never spoke to, who ALL KNEW my name, were so curious about how I heard about the event, and were so eager to help and present me the ticket. And that theater is big. It's got multiple balconies on every angle, although I have no idea why they used regular chairs to line the very front. I guess they just needed to invent extra-EXTRA front row seats and didn't want to waste that space in the front. And yeah I paid for that $150 front row seat, which didn't do much once the people rushed to the front. But that was actually OK cuz frankly at least their heads aren't ABOVE the stage rim, know wut I mean??? ......You see, what REALLY annoyed me were the couple dudes at the very front center who literally stood on their CHAIRS first and caused my entire section to stand on our chairs as well for the entire Hyori part. Even when some supervisors beckoned us down, all of us did except for the two boys, and so we had to stand on our seats again, and again. And I couldn't holler to them from where I was at, simply b/c those two boys were a meter away from Hyori and she woulda been really distracted! Deterring non-koreans? Rubbish.

The man who sold me tickets was really nice, and he seemed happy to know I was into Korean music. http://popseoul.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/0806-nybig43.jpg I'm right behind the girl in the green shirt, who, is not Korean at all, by the way. I'm not Korean, either. We actually were treated REALLY nicely by everyone throughout the concert. I'm pretty sure they thought that it was cool that people who weren't Korean actually paid money to go see the concert and that we knew who they were. Actually, we met Yong Jun from SG Wannabe and he was ridiculously happy to see my friend in her SG Wannabe shirt.

Everyone that performed was amazing and I think I enjoyed this show more than the YG concert. :D I had a blast; my friend and I are are the non-asians (LOL) in one of the pictures, and I found that — contrary to Se7enFan — everyone was helpful and enthusiastic that I enjoyed Korean music and spoke Korean.

They didn't even pay for front row tickets and they ended up getting a better view than the people who DID pay for the front row view. Instead, the people who payed good money ended up either not being able to see anything at all or stand up during the whole concert. what the hell was that-_-; but overall, the concert was great and a night to remember~ damn the whole concert & live celebrities front of me just caught my heart.lol

Really? I didn't know there were a lot of koreans in Boston. Anyway, they would've gotten more out of state people if they actually sold tickets online. That was my problem. I found out that you could order by phone too late and even when I called, the person that kept picking up knew NO english except "wrong phone number". Re: kak2gi
