A lot of the artists usually arrive a week a head. They have to go and do sound check and also some of them like to come early and do some personal shopping and site seeing. I know last year Big Bang, Eru, Epik High and Fly to the Sky came a week or 3 days early just to do that.

Arriving early gives them some time to relax and breath before the fans starts arriving and realization becomes reality that they have to become celebs again

I remember a lot of local fans were able to spot some of them at the shopping centers, restraurants and local hang outs.

Oh yeah, last year Big Bang visited Disneyland and Universal Studio. I'm not sure about the others

do the celebs come out to sign stuff for fans after the concert?

OMGOMGOMGOMG THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!!
omgomg you dont believe how excited i am now!!
omgomg i'm screaming and lauhign like a crazy wonder woman right now!!
ahhhh ehehehehe...!!!
THANK YOU!!

No. It's already going to be really late after the concert and they'll probably be tired enough as it is. :\

yeah OMG thanks for the info!!! since i dont live in Cali this is a good excuse for me to go ans "explore" the city and hopefully(fingers crossed) I run into anyone thats coming

do you think the celebrirties wil be at the malls near hollywood bowl?!
thatd be so awesome(:

I know right?? god if i acually see someone I wont even know what to do. maybe start screaming but i'll try to control myself if thats even possible

last year me and my friends saw Epik High and Baek JiYoung at a korean market place, they were there to do a radio recording for Radio Korea or something like that

OMG, now I want to go 1 week early + stalk artists.
Lmao. Just kidding. But that's cool how they come early.
I'm so anxious for the artist list!
I really hope it's good this year..

It's been posted already but if you hate backlogging, like me, it's more convenient. Lol

OMG THAT SOO HILARIOUS. I just imagined it-- shindong gets hit with a teddybear-- wahahahahahahhahaa
call me evil. i wanna get stuff for our artists!!
do they actually pick things up??? cus that would be GREAT.

imma buy tons of flowers....
nvm, i don't want to risk sending them to the hospital due to pollen allergies

...i still can't get over how shindong got hit >.< wahahhaha

OMG!!!!!!!!!...the festival is like on my birthday.... ...................okay so now i know what i want for my b-day..i better ask my siblings to purchase me a pool circle ticket as my birthday gift...^^...

aww that ruins everything..
but your right...

You know, I've always wish they could too, but due to the humongous amount of FANS being there and the concert ending soo very late. It would be INSANE to do so. However, you might be lucky, because some artists might go on a local radio or telebvise show and if you happen to be there... Acting very casually and not FAN GIRL like. You'll then get a chance to ask for an autograph or be given a chance to give them your gifts. Remember... Artists prefer fans who are in control of themselves They like to be RESPECTED!



You're totally welcome Just reminder to be yourself when you do see them. Good Luck and hopefully, you'll be able to share your HB story with us.



You might LA is a huge visitor actraction area. Hopefully, you'll have someone with you who knows the area or if you don't then I recommend you do. It's very easy to get lost. Also, most of the artists don't usually hang out or shop in K-town. They usually shop around W. Hollywood and hang out and about in the OC area.



There were a couple sightings of Eru, Brian and Epik High last year by the Chinese Theatre and Kodiak Center. There isn't really a mall by HB (correct me if I'm wrong). HB is located on a hillside behind the Kodiak Center and by an interstate hiway. Your chances are better in W. Hollywood




Hey you were there too Yeah, there wasn't too many fans and no one really knew about it. You'll get a lot of "I don't know" if you tend to find them in most of the K-towns in S. CA. Locals like to respect their privacys Most of my experiences were just being there at the right time.

aww too bad the artist list doesn't come out until way later.. haha! how fast do tickets sell? i wish i could go. or at least see them on the street. that'd be so awesome! haha!

any chance they might come to orange county?lol

if when i ordered my tickets (over the phone) all the lady told me was to pick up my tickets @ garden grove & the booth number, what should i do?

was my validiation # supposed to be only 3 #s?

+where is the garden grove pick up location? o_o;;

^^ from the site

[OC] 9562 Garden Grove Blvd. #A, Garden Grove, CA 92844 Tel.(714) 530-6001

For the terrace box tickets I went to koreatimes.com and clicked select for the terrace boxes because next to it it says AVAILABLE, but a pop up comes up saying "Try another seats!"
What am I supposed to do? O.o

HELP please!

For those that are buying for selling HB tickets, you guys haven't got your tickets yet right?
So, if you bought a ticket from another soompier, you just sent your money to them and that was it?
Kind of confused..

I might plan to sell my ticket but I haven't got the tickets yet....

EXACTLY. I'm getting Pms about people wanting to buy my tickets but how can I make a sale when no one got them yet? How can you send money to someone if they dont even have the tickets in their hands??

Please answer!

i have a question!! how come the lady tells other ppl to pick up their ticket at a certain booth and the lady told me to pick mine up at the recall box?? is it because i dont live close to LA???

disregard

Deleted due to a distrubing matter

haha i think my mom misunderstood and heard recall instead of willcall. thank u!!! now i wont be looking like a looser trying to look for recall when i go to pick up my tickets.

just so you know, if you guys don't like who's coming, you can always scalp your tickets


for the USC thing, i think it's in march. it's called the peace concert. but i heard it's going to be held at the rose bowl in pasadena. yeah. i'm begging my friend to get me passes XD

i was wondering, do u buy tickets over the phone?? and if u do pay by credit card , is there a processing fee?

^^^ I bought my tickets over the phone i'm not sure what you're talking about though ..

^^; It's on the first post of this thread :x


Melissa.

then whatever state ID you have...

Back in 2007 when the Hollywood Bowl happened, I never bothered watching it.

Now that it's 2008, I wish I can go so badly, even though I am not into the sports.

But I know that will never happen because the tickets will be out soon (if not already), and I live in Canada.

If any of you managed to run into those working for the Korean artists, please tell them to come to Toronto (please?).

For heaven's sake, Canada is always left out and even when Rain was suppose to come, he canceled out on all his fans after they brought tickets!

Huh? Sports O.o???
Its a Concert lol

^^ probably she mistaken for super bowl xP

but yeah it's a concert/festival whichever u want to call it but sports ?!

For those that bought Terrace tickets, was it worth it?
My friends and I just decided NOW that we're going to go. :x

Okay, from reading the previous posts, it doesn't seem to be that bad.
Is there still a glitch on the website? I can't purchase any tickets.

for the injustice that Rain had to put up with last year, i would like to see him come to HB.
a lot of ppl were boring-as-hell last year. thank God Brian was MC, otherwise i would have left. lol

did you only try to buy 2 tickets?? you have to buy in batch of 4 or 6. only sometimes works for 2 only

One quick question.

Does 8eight will come?
They are too talented and usper sexy songs with excellent vocal.
I really hope they will be there.
Thanks

yes its a korean mix group and they are very good. Maybe they go...as far as i know, nobody knows whos coming. We have to wait till march

hey!
i was wondering about we could aquire backstage passes...do you know???

i think i heard of them...arent they like the korean black eyed peas?

i ordered tickets over the fone with my cc and it says newsstand as the charge is that right?

one of my friend just told me that she wants to go now
but since i already got my ticket from someone on soompli, i told her to order anotherone for herself
she just told me that she called the korea times office this morning
they told her that there will be some ramp box seat available around late april
my friend asked them hoe come there will be more seats coming up later
but they just said they don't know
my friend told me that from how the lady at the office sounded
it sounded like she knows something but doesn't want to say it
she told down my friend's phone number and said will call her once she receive "good" news
so stupid now then cause my friend doesn't know if she should buy the ticket (probably terracebox) now or wait until april for the possible ramp seat

My friends and I we wanna come but....since we are not Korean i can see we are gonna have a difficult time getting there and enjoying the show.

But there is a second thought, if anyone willing to help us there like doing all the translation ans stick with us so we won't feel uncomfortable. plus, we really need a place to stay, how possible can that be i wonder.

Thanks for the help you guys.
I think something is wrong with my Mozilla or something because I tried again this morning and the website didn't work.
I called them around 11ish and they took my number and said they'll call me back in 5 minutes..they never did. T_T
I just called again and I finally got tickets. Yay~
