110510 Second Concert Date Added for SMTown Live in Paris
The announcement of the June 10 SMTown Paris concert generated enormous excitement, with tickets selling out within 15 minutes. The cost of the cheapest seats were 56 Euros (~88,000 won) and VIP seats at 111 Euros (~175,000 won), but there were VIP tickets being scalped for 399 Euros (~620,000 won) online on the first day that tickets were being sold.
The high difficulty of purchasing seats for the single concert date caused many European fans to urge SM Entertainment to put on an additional performance. The request by fans for a second concert date culminated in a flash-mob outside the Louvre Museum in Paris attended by over 300 people. As a result of the huge demand, SM Entertainment confirmed a second performance date for June 11. SM Entertainment expects the total two-day attendance number to reach 13,000 fans.
According to KoME France, an official partner of SMTown Live in Paris organiser Korean Connection, the tickets for the second showing will go onsale at 10AM, May 11th. Ticket prices will remain unchanged and will be sold at the same websites which previously offered the tickets for the first showing, such as Live Nation.
