YEAH, same here. Did anyone actually SEE them at Wilshire Grand?

Unfortunately, I never saw them, but a lot of soompiers did.

I read some star-stalking experiences on soompi, and yes. Suju did stay at Wilshire Grand~

I'm kind of curious, for example if I had seat 3&4 - where would number 1 start on the chart above, toward the left or the right? sweatingbullets.gif I'm not sure which direction it starts in section D


Check the POOL CIRCLE seating chart. (Can be found in the first post.) It's more detailed. smile.gif
tomopi
hmm, no announcement of the last 1-2 artists yet? *__*
i wonder if big bang will come.. or se7en, that would be cool if he came, since he's in the u.s. anyway. biggrin.gif
ah well~ i'm still really excited.. ^^

I want to know the same since my friend told me that they were at the Wilshire Hotel
& then someone told me "Universal Hills Hotel"? (I couldn't find this one by internet)

I think they're referrring to the Universal Sheraton Hotel. It's located right next to City Walk in Studio City, which is like not even 5 minutes from the Hollywood Bowl.

It's a nice hotel, been there forever. If the Sheraton IIIIISSSSS sponsoring them, it's a good possibility they may stay there, since it's so close to the venue. But this is just a humble observation. sweatingbullets.gif
Chiidori
OK, I have a question. My sister and I are going to Hollywood, we're flying in from Canada and plan to stay at the Best Western on North Highland Avenue. I was wondering what would be the cheapest way to get from LAX to the hotel? Taxi is crazy expensive, there aren't any cars available and walking is out of the question.

Also, is there transportation after the Festival ends? after 11 PM?

lilshinhwafreak

how can u pick up ur tickets @ will call if u checked the korea times office pick up when u ordered online? i didn't kno there was a will call booth thingy till after i bought the tickets. i figured i would just pick up my tickets on the 17th but then i read somewhere that the korea times office won't b opened that day

Ah, I'm glad to hear that I most likely won't be the only lone non-Korean person in pool circle. ^^ As for me, I'm Mexican-American, so my skin would kind of make me stick out like a sore thumb if it were only Korean people.

I'm planning on taking my digital camera (with video capability) for sure. My LJ f-list is already asking me for fancams, lol. ^^;

I noticed in the Pool circle last year most people WERE NOT Korean... There were Koreans directly on all sides of me (except infront of me) but they were the minority where I sat... most other sections (ie Garden, Terrace, Bench, etc...) were pretty much all Korean



OMO......so where's kibummie's house?.....lol....XD.....j/k

I was wondering am I allowed to make a TVXQ shirt?
SUJUShinKiLove19
^^^^

Of COURSE you're allowed to make a shirt!
Actually, that would be a pretty great idea.
I'm making one as well!

And I see that much of this page consists of
people of different nationalities going to the Bowl.
I think that's awesome!

I'm Indian and my friend is Chinese, so we'll add to
the interesting groups going. It'll be nice.

=D

p.s. Oh goodness, it's been nearly a week since last list.
I understand that it must be difficult to come up with last minute artists that satisfy our needs...
but I am still finding it hard to wait. XD
agent00dragon
that's cool! this is such a diverse concert! i'm half filipino/half white, my friend is chinese, my other friend is black, and then my other friend is half japanese/half korean! so i'm glad to know we wont be the only non koreans, cant wait to meet some of u guys happy.gif

ahh the wait for this list is killing me lol, i already got DBSK, but it wouldnt hurt to add to the list lol ^_~ my friends and i already booked our flights and mapped out our route on the metro and stuff lol we're so prepared! still a month away, but cant be too safe!
The Machine
Ahhh gaah I'm so excited for the Bowl! First time going to LA too!

I was wondering, from people who went the years before. How many days in advance do the artists usually fly in? I know some people will try to greet them at the airport, but I dunno when to book my flight so I can be there too lol. I might book early since I will be meeting a friend, but it would be nice to know!

And homg I still have to book a hotel and stuff DDDDDX hasdsajhdajksdh I'm going to lose my mind any moment, just watch XD

did you see the stars in the hotel at all during your stay??
did you get their autograph or a picture with them?
just wondering because im wondering if actually staying in the same hotel as them would give any benefits.

^ yes, we did see a lot of the stars, i'd say about 95%??
tidbit* hwanhee was hiding behind a bush the morning of the concert with dark sunglasses and a beanie/cap(?) on..
didn't know why until we saw his face blown up on the huge screens @ the concert..
reason = plastic surgery..
and yes we got autographs and pics with certain people..
it was an amazing experience because we weren't stalking them, that would've been totally embarrassing and digging into the stars' privacy, but rather just hanging out on our own in the hot tub and stuff and we got to talk to and get to know a few people
i think it was a very worthwhile experience but i want to discourage those that will be throwing themselves at a boy-band member or stalking them all around the hotel cause that's just wrong;;
half the time, teeny-boppers were staked out in the hotel lobby and in front of the elevators waiting for stars to appear and when they did they would scream;;
it was so bad tablo ran away yelling 'i will be back' but he actually never really came back.. lol so yea;;
i guess it gives you insight on how stars are in real life...?
some people gave me awesome impressions and others, i was put-off of because of their attitudes..


QUOTE (jae;NEUL @ Apr 7 2008, 12:29 AM) *
YEAH, same here. Did anyone actually SEE them at Wilshire Grand?

^ yes, we saw suju @ wilshire..
but as someone mentioned, they stayed @ kibum's house for the majority of the time so we only saw their faces the day after the concert when everyone was down in the lobby getting ready to leave..
little anecdote xD
my friends and i had an executive suite so we got to have the breakfast thing..
after taking our time eating we got in the elevator to go down..
instead of heading straight to the lobby tho, the elevator stopped on the 8th floor..
the doors slid open and BAM!
there stood donghae with his cap pulled down and headphones on..
so~ we rode the elevator down with donghae to the lobby...
the elevator was pretty cramped so he was right in front of me but i was turned so i was actually facing his profile..
my friends didn't even know it was him till we got out and i told them ahaha;;
so hilarious..
he looked better in pictures.. no offense, i like him too but that's the truth..
dude!!! but sungmin and shi-won were totally sizzling HOT HOT HOT!! 0o0!
kangin looked BUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF and eunhyuk and eeteuk looked the same..
i don't recall any of the others ^^;
anyway, yea this is long. sorry :x

o.O
wow you are really lucky! it kinda disappoints me that donghae looks better in pictures, but i cant believe you were so close to him!! this is really making me consider staying at a hotel instead of driving all the way back to sd the night of the concert...

Hey

The one on 711 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA 90017
Im probably staying there because i fould a cheap flight + hotel package deal and i heard thats where the stars might stay.

Does anyone know if this is the one that they might stay at??, since its close to Koreatown and the Hollywood Bowl.

Btw you have to be 21+ to reserve and check into Sheraton Hotel
I guess the distance is reasonable tho/ about 5-8 miles

Awww my dearest chingu <3 Of course it's always better to have fun instead of attempting to stalk the stars because they do have lives........although different from us, that is <3 I'd rather listen to your long stories because they're always entertaining to read and listen to all the time. No joke, loser jk jk jk you know I love you to itty bitty pieces my partner in crime XD

Eh~ idk
talk to them on the chat box thing on www.sheraton.com
chiuuy
i google mapped the two closest sheratons (distance from hollywoodbowl)
and i found out that...
the downtown sheraton on s.hope street was closer
approx. 3 miles closer.

does anyone possibly know the chances in which the celebrities would stay-- between the two..

O_O im so confused. i still need to book a room.

I guess the day when you reserve counts.
Cause i reserved a room there for the PC, and they wouldnt allow people under 21..
Confusing, wacko.gif

^I had that same scenario with the reservations for a hotel room, too. Luckily I could put it under my sister's name since she's over 21 *sighs* People just like to confuse us....the end...

hey all this kind of a silly question, but I was wondering if it was possible for my friend to come down my terrace box with me? Its meant for four people, and i've been in there before. technically, i can fit another chair in their if i were to bring one. Would they allow that? Or rather, look down upon that at all? >.>; Just wondering. Thanks for info guys biggrin.gif
BoAspika
Well security would see five people in there so it would
be kind of obvious that one isnt' suppose to be there
and I think I dont remember quite well they check your
tickets before you enter your area like say
Super Seat section row something-whatever you enter
and they check your tickets to make sure you're in the
correct seat.

Pretty sure it would be looked down upon because you're friend
is getting a closer seat when she payed for something cheaper
and further away...don't know if you'll understand this..haha

zhuuzhuusoba
Just out of curiousity, about the Garden box/seats... I heard that some people don't have to have tickets to get in. Like, VIP people. Is that true? (For most concerts, isn't that true?) How do they regulate that? Because if too many VIPs come into the Garden box, won't it get really full? (Might be a stupid question...^^;;)

Wouldn't VIP people either want to sit in pool circle or just go backstage? It depends on what you mean by "VIP." I'm pretty sure if they sell out all the tickets, they can't just say "Oh you bought the ticket and you can't sit here cause its reserved for VIP."

For most concerts, VIP people get front row, at least from what I remember.
bunkicake
does teh extended stage have anything to do with new seats?
RaIn33
Question. How many people are limited to a terrace box? It looks like it could be for 4, but I just want to make sure. I have 3 seats all in the same box, and I was wondering if there was a 4th person that will be in the box with us also. Thanks.
rainymonday
I'm missing my prom for this concert but it's SO worth it ^^DBSK+SuJuT<3<3<3<3
BoAspika
RaIn33: It's possible that koreatimes sold that ticket seperately
to someone else that wanted only one seat. Most likely someone
will sit in the same box as you since it's meant to sit 4 people.
abandonangel
I know that we are allowed to have cameras at the concert, but will security have an issue with my camera because it can record audio and video? I want to take fancams.

Any ideas? Thanks.
