Big Bang Alive Tour Concert in Jakarta sold out just only one hours. VIP who didn't get the ticket asked the promoter, Big Daddy, to add the concert for 2 days.
In twitter, they made an hashtag #BIGBANGALIVETOURINASECONDSHOW (Big Bang Alive Tour Indonesia Second Show). As expected, the hashtag is become one of a worldwide trends. So, how's Big Daddy's respond ?"We didn't have any plan. We will do a survey from this, how many people didn't have a chance to got the ticket," said Michael Rusli, President Director of Big Daddy when contacted by phone on Saturday (9/6/2012)
Michael said that Big Daddy haven't discuss anything about adding the show's day to 2 days with YG-Entertaitment Agency."Jakarta is the first city that announce the tickets prices and sales. So, they still monitoring the situation. Until now, no announcement that the concert will be held on 2 days," he said.
The "War" between VIP's (Big Bang Fans) must be ended. It is because, the Big Bang Alive Tour Concert's tickets on 13th October were sold out.Buying tickets opened in 10 PM, on Saturday (9/6/12) via 2 websites tiket.com and myticket.co.id. Within 10 minutes, quota of the tickets were out of stock in tiket.com, however another website, myticket.co.id encounter so much visitors and causes the website server down, then the website delay the tickets selling until 2AM.
"Before 4AM, the tickets have been sold out. About 10 minutes in the morning, and after restarting on 2AM. All tickets have been sold out within 1 hour," said Michael.
So, tickets selling for tomorrow will not be opened. And so for offline selling in all official ticket outlet of MyTicket which was planned will be opened in 11th June."Tomorrow and offline selling will not be opened. All sold out." said him.
SO......
This is what i want talking about.
I have to join "VIP's Indo Wars" this day, to be the first or nothing.
The first to get the ticket, or nothing will you get than a dissapointing moment in your life. Hahah, for VIP's, this is the great one and must be get it for just once. Something more i mean here is, dream.
So, what happen to me? I'll explain from the beginning i've entered this "war" (what a war??? I'm not kidding, it's true... -__-").
Wake up before the sunrise, i've got to check the laptop that have been in front of my head when i fall a sleep, and it still turned on when i'm awake. Someone maybe will said like, "what are you waiting for?",or "what do you do? hard work?". Yea, for da truth, i'm waiting for Big Bang's tickets. And everybody who don't know Big Bang they will said "I'm crazy.", even my mom herself said "That thing is not necessary". (Mom's always like that, kekeke~)
8PM, 2 hours before the official tickets order is opened. All of my mind just stay around my laptop, waiting another announcement from the official promoter. And so it does, i've understand everything and ready to go "war". I think everything will go smoothly as a day before when i contacting my friend, and success to confirm any requirements, like find who will gonna borrowed their CC, complete a transfer, calling a backup from my friends for tomorrow buying tickets, etc.
10PM. The "war" is start. I've browse mytickedid site but... WHA---T? #Server Down# #Internet Database# etc were happened. So, in a few minutes i decided to buy from tiket.com, but but HOW i go there and order the tickets??? I didn't register yet !!! When i refresh the page, some class were SOLD OUT !!! OH NOOO~!!!!
I try to order without register, and i got 4 ticket for order. Something shocked stay in the top center of the website when i go to my cart. "This order will be expired within 15 minutes". So i quickly continue for ordering and........my internet connection to the website crash. After refreshing every minutes and go back to the order page, i'm just receiving a message that killed me for some minutes "your order has expired".
11PM I got news from ma friend that told me she has booking 4 tikets and she still confused to buy it or leave it cause we have planned to buy 10 tickets (with the same class, and for receiving the promo tiket, buy 10 get 12). I was not easy cause the promoter announce the website will be opened again in 1AM.
12PM The promoter then decided to open the next "war" show in 2AM, which in this case, the 4 tickets that my friend already booking will be expired (cause it will be expired from 3 hours after ordered). So we decided to save our ticket and pay it to the nearest bank.
1AM I was chat with my besties who didn't got the ticket yet, she said "you can go, i'll not go, the tickets is officially yours". I just promised her that i wouldn't like to watch Big Bang without my besties, i will not have so much pleasure to enjoy the concert. So, i decide to still waiting for the upcoming tickets batch that will opened soon in 2AM.
2AM The Second "War" starting. But in this situation now i have so much backup from my sister and another besties too. I was sure to hit the button and get the four tickets. But...... what da hell? Me and some my besties can't got the ticket order. Then my sister (online on another computer) called me and said she got the ticket, so i go as the procedure written on the website, but what? Out of connection again. (SO MUCH VIP ENTERING THE SITE HUH?). And as usual, the order have expired!!!!! Suddenly, my besties who didn't get the tickets before PING me in her Blackberry and told that she has got the ticket, and she just have to transfer it !!!! And i'm so happy.
3AM Me and my besties still confused is it right that we just transferred it? After ask to my friend before who "saving" another 4 tickets, i've decided to manage the process myself, cause my besties not so understand about the process.
4AM I go to the local ATM Bank, and force myself (who since 10 years ago not ride motorcycle until now). Yea, this is the first time after i got drive license for motorcycle and NEVER used it. So with all i can, i go to the nearest ATM. Even after i arrived in ATM, i still can't understand how to transfer the money (cause since i opened the Debit Card, i've never used it in ATM, i'd rather used online banking). A liitle bit confused, make me insert the card twice, cause i was wrong to choose the right menu for transfer. But as it goes, i can find where i must put the transfer to, and double check the receiver's account.
5AM So i and my friends have confirmed the tickets, but something goes wrong. It didn't have any link to download the voucher for the ticket. Sooooo? What happened here ????? Then i try to called the costumer service and fortunately they hold on their call and answer me. I told everything and the CS just answer me, "You just need to confirm your transactions's script to our email". And after we send them that, they send our voucher.
And, we officially got the voucher which will be redeem on the real ticket when the event goes. So, fantastic baby.
Who is Indonesian VIP who got the ticket ??? We will meet each other then as one, as VIP~!
If someone asked, "why are you have too much hoping for the Big Bang tickets??"
Just remember of biggest musicians in South Korea some years ago that i can't even watch their concert cause they never come to our country. And now they were separated each other,just creating another group. I was really sad then and decided to never ever like South Korean Music. But Big Bang's new album "Alive" recall me again to go to the same feeling i have for the earlier boyband. Now i like them, and become their fans, and when i heard they will concert in my country, i will never let anybody else to cancel me to go to the concert. That's it.

Maybe from this situation happened, i can got something that i can learn from buying tickets in "hurry". There's a tips that might help you to buy concert tickets :
1. Prepare everything !
You don't want to lose everysecond of the process, don't ya? So prepare everything before the online buy is starting (if you have to register, be the quickly one to register the account first)
2. Going Earlier and Stay Tuned!
Especially stay tuned with your promoter's announcement before the online buy start, to know step by step everything you didn't know when buying online tickets. And don't forget to be the earlier one to be stay tuned.
3. Do refresh and open new tab everytime.
This one is really used when the website of buying tickets is have a button which is will showed up after a time countdown to zero. Refresh and open new tab is very helpfull
4. Make Backup
4 or 5 people backup you for booking ticket, is it right? Yea it is. Moreover, if the promoter provide more than one website. it's really needed.
5. Keep Calm and Think Positive
If you think this last tip is not necessary, you're wrong buddy. If you can't calm, you'll hit the wrong button when ordering, and must be remember, ordering online tickets of famous artist is like a "War in a Second", You fail you'll lose the ticket. And one thing is, keep to think positive, just think for the worst if you can't get the ticket, "i can watch it next year", so it will always refresh your mind and prevent you from stressed to much.
