Pre-EXO'rdium in Bangkok - Ticketing

EXO'rdium in Bangkok ticketing day was on 20th August 2016. And yeah, I FAILED.

So, let me just tell you this frightening and depressing experience which I DIDN'T expect AT ALL!

Almost everything you do in Thailand are convenient and that includes buying tickets for a Kpop concert. It's really easy to buy but it's hard to get one especially when you are fighting against millions of EXO-Ls not just in Thailand but in the whole world to get the ticket. Convenient as I say, we as people living here can buy the tickets at 7-eleven or just simply sit in front of your computer, wait for the site to open, get the code once you've succeeded and pay at counter service. 

BUT, this is an EXO concert we are talking about with millions of fans going crazy over them. Not to mention the experience that this concert will give to all fans (Artificial love, water dance, you know what I mean). Everyone are fighting for it. even other nationalities went for it just like how I mentioned on my last post. 

I learned from my last year's experience that going online to book will not be good idea. The website will crash fast and when you think that you can purchase it during the last step, it will stop. So this time, I went to 7-eleven and queue. Woke up early and went to the store at 8am, and who would've thought that in my neighborhood, there were quite a lot. We arrived on time but someone queued earlier than us. It's quite weird that we're there early and they will sell the tickets at 11am but SOME people whom my friend talked to while we were queuing  informed the staffs the night before. That's how crazy it got. We stood for 3 hours straight, not doing anything because we can't leave the line. 

We were third on the queue from the first store that we went to. Then my friend went around and saw another branch with no people. So we moved and queued there again. As I have mentioned people had informed the staffs since night time so we were on the first line at all. We ended up being third again.

Time passed slow and my body was shaking non-stop from being cold and nervous. The staffs were nice enough to tell us that they will accommodate us immediately. 11am striked and the time has come. I was at the website through my phone too to make sure. And in just a minute, it's all gone. :(

It was a sad sight. Even the first one in queue wasn't able to buy her ticket. So that leave us nothing too. We waited again for an hour because they said it will open. After refreshing, it will show the slots but you can't still book which is annoying. The staffs tried their best to help us and people buying at 7eleven at that time were a lot. Sigh.

We waited until 1pm and went to other branches maybe we'll have a chance. So yah, we lost hope and just went home. It was a sad experience but SM True didn't managed this correctly. They were opening slots batch by batch obviously which I understand to avoid site crashing.

BIG SIGH. Life of a fangirl.

Up to this time that I'm writing this, selling is still open in the website but all zones are not available. So up until now, I'm visiting the website and trying if I can book. Who knows right? 

So guys, help me! I can't let my lightstick go to waste :(
