Who is sitting at section B or D of Pool circle? Reply here or PM me where you are sitting.. I'm really desperate to trade! I have Row 3!!
Sherrane
Yes, I'm so excited. My birthday's in march so I asked my mom if she could get me a Sony Cybershot dsc-h7 camera. Because that camera has a 15X zoom and I know it'll really help me out when I'm taking pictures from my terrace seats. Is it okay to ask where most of the artist stay at? Hahah.

hey anyone have this, i just found out when i click checkout, the item I was going to buy already got taken but then it was already input my card # and click submit to purchase the tickets. Later when the confirmation page show up, it just say $0.00 and it doesn't give me the box number or anything. However, my card still got charged for that amount. If I call, will they knwo enough english if i explain them my situation because I call the first tiem to order tickets but they don't seem to really know that much english. (except probably like hi, thanks, bye)

I ordered my tickets over the phone on the first day using my dad's credit card, but they still haven't charged it yet. Just wondering if anyone got charged for their tickets yet before I call them on Monday to ask about the situation.

That means you didnt buy the ticket and you didnt get a ticket.

Cause others got charged for doing exactly what you did


Wow, I hope that isn't the case because those were garden box seats. If they did cancel my order for no apparent reason, then at least inform me of the situation, but thankfully theres still terrace box seats.

i'm not sure how many times this question has been asked, but does anyone know when the tickets will be available for pick up? is it around march?

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO! Hollywood Bowl time once again biggrin.gif

I lucked out too, the concert is 2 days after my semester ends haha
I'm sitting Pool Circle Section B - row 4. Now to wait for the artist list...

QUOTE (genn04 @ Jan 31 2008, 02:11 PM) *
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.


I'm not Korean either, nor do I speak the language, and I know that I was not the only non-Korean at last year's concert by far.

Don't worry about being uncomfortable, I guarentee you will enjoy all aspects of the show :] I had an absolutely AMAZING time last year, and I'm even more excited this time around.

As far as places to stay, I'm not much help, but I'm sure if you search for hotels around the Hollywood Bowl area you will be able to find something to your liking.

this is what it says on the korea times website. i don't know if it applies with ordering throught the phone, but hope it helps^^

When you book your tickets using your credit card with us, we charge your credit card for the full amount immediately. The charge that appears on your credit card will be from The Korea Times LA, INC. The total price is the final amount that you will be charged and includes all tax charges and service fees. No adjustments in ticket prices will be made.


but thats very weird that they would cancel your order without even telling you & for no reason!
the fact that they were garden box seats are even worse :[[
do you think it could be that they're too busy and have not finished with all the transactions?
you should call them again and ask to make sure.
they take calls from 10am - 6pm (correct me if im wrong)
bigbang5
oh wow...so long to find out who's coming and those we want are not coming...
can't wait...think we still have like a whole month to go..so long...can't wait...
i hope to get there early so i can ran into one of them...
good luck everyone buying your tickets and hope to see all of you there!!

My friend and I got 4 tickets for HB on the 1st day it came out online. We originally got the seats we wanted in GB04, but we signed in the wrong username so my credit card wouldn't work... and since we didn't know how they ticket system worked, the tickets were "sold out" when we refreshed the page under the right username SO we bought the next-best ones in GB06 instead. After we bought them, we realized that GB04 was available again and we were a bit disappointed. Anyway, just wondering if anyone who went last year has a picture from the very back of GB06 in the corner closest to the aisle of GB05? I saw the picture from hollywoodbowl.com but it's from the middle.


I wish they'd release the list of artists now so we can start planning out trip down to LA + book our airfare! We're from Vancouver and we're only coming for HB.

Hey if we're spending more money on tickets this year, doesn't that mean they should bring in better artists?
You know, either way, Korea Times wins. If they sell out this year but it's a crappy concert, ppl wouldn't want to go next year. But if next year they bring in really good artists, ppl will buy and Korea Times will probably sell out again once they find out who's going haha

Were they sold out in the previous years?
--joyful.
^ they ALWAYS say theres going to be good singers haha.

The prices has gone up the last 3 years. Pool was $150 in 2006, $175 last year, $200 this year.
lockinsocks
Yeah, the price is really going up. I remember my first time going, it was like $30 in the M section, and it just gets higher and higher. Shoot, even gas money goes up to drive up there. The funny thing is, two years in a row, I sat behind these pack of grandpas and grandmas. They were super active and all into the concert dancing and singing.
sugarcakes
Does anyone know if Whilshire Grand is still one of the sponsor hotels?
Thank You.

can somone PLEASE post a list of the people that are going to Hollywood Bowl?? or is there a confirmed list??

i think theres a bigger chance of ftts coming than suju. cus suju has their super show. and i dono about ftts.
I CANT wait till the list comes out. sleep.gif

This might be a stupid question.. but I was wondering if there is a way to meet the singers without a backstage pass.

Also.. can we go to the concert really early and get in? so we can see them practice or something? or do we have to wait until it officially starts?
..kaleena..
^ i don't think it's very likely to meet singers without a backstage pass unless you are lucky and bump into them somewhere.
and last year, me, my bro, and sis went really early and we snuck into the rehearsals (we saw Brian <333)
but we eventually got kicked out. haahah

edit*
v omg, i seriously don't know what to do now.. i want to see epik, M, hyesung, FT, etc etc!!! why does it have to be so close to HB?!?!?!?!! do you guys think there's a chance that those artists will go to HB also...? *prays*

ohh.. thanks! Anyone want to give me backstage passes? sweatingbullets.gif Can't we all just go in a group? We can all help each other that way, and everyone will be happy! biggrin.gif

THE DEALIO ON BACKSTAGE PASSES:


Here's the deal:


the sad truth is that you just can't GET them. You have to have connections or be friends with some head honcho person that's obviously Korean and speak their language and crap. They're not gonna whip them out to everyone who asks for them.

is you're dad friends with a sponsor or something? then you probably have a good chance of getting it.


other than that....be happy with the seat you've got?

=O. omG a Peace concert?

this looks good.
is it true though?

so if they are attending the peace concert does that mean some of them aren't going to hollywood bowl?
kayla.
That Peace Concert artist list looks so fake...and it has nothing to do with hollywood bowl so it shouldn't be posted in here.
philophobia.
anyone sat on GBO6 last year
on the left side
near 971?

is it far or close?
JunsuLover
I hope the Peace Concert attendees go to HB as well!
Because there a quite a few artists whom I want to see at Hollywood Bowl.
Anyways, does anyone know how to get balloons/glowsticks for the concert?
I really want the SNSD balloon or the BB glowstick crown biggrin.gif

ANNOUNCMENT UPDATES: 2/4/08

MESSAGES FROM KOREA TIMES:
Dear friends,

I hope this email finds you well, and thank you for all your grateful support and interest in our 2008 Korean Music Festival at the Hollywood Bowl.

This year’s concert is set for 6:30pm, Saturday, May 17. Pre-concert festivity shall begin around 2:30pm on the same day in front of the Box Office. I trust that our corporate sponsors would distribute lots of giveaway items, so please come early and enjoy the benefits.

As you are aware, we activated web-sales system last month to better serve you and give everyone a fair chance in purchasing process. Fyi, we have increasing number of audiences, estimating more than 2,000 I believe, calling from other states and countries, and we felt that we had to give them the same chance that folks in LA receive.

Although there were some issues that we needed to improve, we plan to use the system as the main tool for ticket sales in the future. Our staffs have been working hard to facilitate any technical problem, so please do not hesitate to call ticket office at 323-692-2055/2068/2070 for inquiries.

Tickets will be available for pick-up in March just as last year. Since there is an ample time left until the show date and more importantly we keep all the individual records of sales transaction and seating assignment, you can trust us there should not be any problem on this. So please be patient.

As for the artists, we have locked in 12 top-notched performers so far. We are currently working on 4~5 additional artists and plan to release the names some point in March. Therefore any name or list you hear until then should be considered as "unconfirmed".

We will continue to check your posts and opinions on the websites regularly and will try to respond to them as promptly as possible. Thank you.


All the best,
C.S. Hah
Director, Special Events
The Korea Times U.S.A.
