Event / Concert HKT48 National Tour ～全国統一終わっとらんけん～

I'm not totally sure if there are 130 seats, but it is my estimate of the seats remaining based on the seats left when I bought mine.
I know there are only like 81 seats available to foreigners/public sales for the Taiwan Concert.

but yeah it's good to know there are local fans that likes HKT aside from myself.

 

i will try to get the ticket..

edit: Wow sold out

 

From what I heard, there were actually only around 70 ticket for sale today and they were all sold out within a minute or two after the sales began.

One thing that is really pissed off the local fans is that there are mainlanders/non-fans that got at least 7 tickets and now they are selling them online for at least four times the original price to make a profit (It's annoys us even more when we know it will happened and yet we can do nothing about it ).

 

In handhshake events, your name is tagged with the tickets so it prevents resales on the black market/trading.

It isn't the case for Taiwan and Hong Kong? Ah, too bad.

 

For handshake events, they usually do tag names onto the ticket.

However, because the Hong Kong and Taiwan AKB staff/aks are not the only ones involved in sales of tickets for the Hong Kong and Taiwan concert, they can't tag names onto the concert tickets. The company in charge of ticket sales did not think about (and most likely does not care) who gets the ticket as they probably only care about selling them all and making money.
If the Hong Kong and Taiwan AKB staff are to run the two concert by themselves, then most likely the tickets would have been marked.

This is one downside of concerts in Hong Kong especially, where mainlanders line up many hours/ overnight to get tickets that they do not intend to go but rather sell them at a much higher price to fans that they "rob" the opportunity from for profit.

 

What you are talking about is called scalping, and it is a fairly common practice just about anywhere there are concerts.

Funnily enough, the price of these scalpers charge can be a measurement of the dedication of an artist or groups fanbase. The higher the price these people can charge, the stronger the fanbase. As with anything, you can only charge what people are willing to spend for that product or service.

wow, even thought management couldn't pay accommodation cost in national tour, they could send all of them to overseas

 

Maybe there are local sponsors that pay the accommodation cost for them.

Akip said that is coming from Beijing to Taiwan.

Fans in Taiwan gathered around 800 light sticks for the concert and passing them out before hand because they are planning something special. Reading their lists of prep works they really put a lot of thoughts making the girls feel welcomed.

 

Taiwan is such a lucky country T,T

Well, maybe NMB can also expand their tour too like HKT to Indonesia

 

Well that sound pretty awesome of the fans.

GAH!!! Wish I could see it!

 

they've arrived

Taiwanese fans confirmed for being awesome

 

They had a mini live at the top of Taipei101? For real? HKT popularity skyrocket lately

 

Any idea why sasshi, rabutan and Sakura arrived separately and before the other girls ? Business class while the rest flies economy ?

 

Cool!! Do you see taiwan on the left and Kyushu on the right? I like the idea!

EDIT : I saw a camera for AKB show. Once again HKT concert in taiwan will be covered.
Also so Atsushi ( Kodansha director) is VIP for the HKT concert lol this is so unfair.

I'm glad Taiwanese fans did a warm welcome for the girls. I'm thankful

 

Those three took the flight from Tokyo while the others came from Nagoya and Fukuoka. Also Aoki is also with them for some reason.

From manager ozaki's G+, he also posted more pictures of the mini-live. Lol I think HKT now holds the record for the highest altitude performance.

Since they showed it on Matome I guess I do it here as well.

Photographic evidences of the 800 light sticks.

HKT did a pre-concert event in Taiwan today. they performed on top of the tower Taipei 101.
here's a group shot from Ozaki's google+:


for a visual representation of where exactly they were:


the setlist was:
1 Hikaeme I love you
2 Suki！Suki！Skip
mc
3 Sakura、Minna de Tabe
mc
4 Koi Suru Fortune Cookie
mc
5 Melon Juice

apparently the chant during KoiChun(where they usually chant Onigiri) was Xialongbao, which is a type of dumpling.
