wtf, X_x can we just switch to KBS LOL. i wonder if they can do that?! O_O

dude, the last list needs to come out soon. ._. it's not fun at all.

Yeah I have everything planned out for HB. I just need to find concert tickets oi =.=;

I guess KMF wanted to stick with SBS since the majority of their artists are from SM >>;;

Argh, this whole thing sucks
I really want Big Bang to be one of the artist.
I hope that MBC and SBS knows that we're hating them already.
Why can't they just get along and let the audience have fun?

This thread breaks my heart </3
I can't believe so much havoc is being caused from changing stations. T.T

WHAT!
eru's not coming?

jeez. i leave for a couple days and all this madness occurs.

what's with this year's concerts?!
it's pissing me off ^
hb has never had so many problems..
if ft island, epik, or bigbang came i'd be happy..
that's if they don't take off anyone else from the list right now..
i'm already mad they took hyori off sighhh..

There is way too much drama between MBC & SBS that's making this situation so hectic to replace artists, and not to mention it just angers me they're acting childish over the artists who can or cannot perform at HB. If Eru and Tae Jin Ah are not going to be there it'd be sad. I wanted to see them

This is whack = =;;

sigh. this is rediculous.

they're lucky dbsg and super junior are on the list, otherwise they'd lose a lot of concert-goers because of all this drama.
i know it must be difficult, but seriously, i hope they get their stuff together soon. the concert is, after all, only about a MONTH away...

ehhh, eru's not coming? i was looking forward to seeing him perform too...

but ahhh, it would be SO AWESOME if they got big bang, epik high, or ft island to go.. i'd be very satisfied with those choices. !!

i just hope that they release the final artists soon.. the anticipation is pretty high.

GRAH I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR TO EVERYBODY 'cause i dont want people to be disappointed about something that isnt really known yet

at this point, NOBODY has OFFICIALLY stated that Eru + Tae Jin Ah are not attending hollywood bowl

many of us before just said that it's strange that they're not on the KMF website and that Eru supposedly is going off to the army may 1st...

but DONT think that they're not coming yet because it HASNT BEEN OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED yet D:

yeah things are getting sort of crazy about HB but dont take what anybody says as fact unless Khype or the KMF staff said so

'cause most people here are just saying what they noticed, what they think and their opinions

so dont worry about Eru + Tae Jin Ah right now D:

and lets hope KT can release good artists for the next release soon :]

anybody sitting around Garden Box Section 61???

we should start a thread where everyone puts down which seats they have so everyone else knows which seats are taken and which ones aren't.

i remember last year someone blotted out taken seats for pool circle as people posted their seats.

we should do it this year too

^ Yeah, plus it's fun to see if any Soompiers are sitting near you! : D

EDIT... this post caused me drama

anyhoo.. when is the final list comming out... i hope epik high comes! but they won't really have a song to sing..

and i'm still dissappointed that WG can't come.. but what they hey! dbsg's comming

can someone tell me what the garden box tickets look like??? like color and description and such? detailed description would help

^ Click here to see, these were some of the ones I was selling. It's more light blue in color though...my camera just took that in a dark room w/yellowish light. ><

yeah thats like the last row of section D ><
i have row 6 hahaha

wow hecticc situation here*

i was wondering .. would they like just sudden announce the final artist llike out of the blue? or would they release the final release date first? haha, my bad if that didnt make any sense

i 'm like a box behind you

i'm sitting in Garden Box#172

I'm in row 9 of D

Remember, no quoting pics. Remove tags when you quote a post with a pictures.

I can't wait to go to HB..

please keep all personal conversations in PM, and don't really ask...obvious or irrelevant or just plain dumb questions. if you don't need to post in this thread, then don't post in it for the sake of being excited. we all are, it's just that if we keep on filling it up with unneccessary junk, then people have to backtrack pages just to see if their questions were answered.

so no unneccessary posts, please and thank.

my mom and i are bench f1 (forgot row) seats 9 and 11

my question is..are we seated together? im confused why it's 9 and 11 and not 9 and 10 or 11 and 12 when we asked for seats together >.<

will there be a person inbetween us?

i didnt really want to sit far from her

also how many ppl per row is there? i cant really tell from the seating chart and the seat advisor doesnt show the whole bench.

ANYONE WANT TO SHARE A HOTEL ROOM WITH ME AT THE DOWNTOWN SHERATON?
It'll be from May 16- May 18. I'm looking for 3-4 people. Please PM me if you're interested.

or anyone (already with a room) willing to add just one more person?

I don't understand why they changed from mbc to sbs.
they said it was cuz its a benefit for us.
how is it a benefit if two of the artists can't make it this year??
everything was fine when it was still mbc who was going to broadcast the concert...

its a benefit bc if they chose mbc, dbsk suju and snsd probably wouldnt perform
since mbc and sm are having issues
therefore since sm and sbs get along its better that they sponsor

(this is all my observation, cant say for sure)

i cant say what everyone feels but i know id rather have dbsk alone over wg & hyolee combined. same goes for snsd.

so yea, im all for sm and sbs @ hb

it wouldve been nice if
sm vs mbc
&
sbs vs mbc
didnt exist so there could be more options and more great artists to chose from but those complications that i stated above are completely out of the hands of koreanmusicfestival people, hopefully everyone can understand that

o i have a question for all you people who are not from california but bought hb tickets.
how did or are you picking up the tickets? on the day of?
or did koreatimes mail it to you? O_o.. i didnt know they mailed tickets this year.

they DONT mail it ^^

everyone who's not from california... picks it up the day OF the concert.. there's gonna be a willcall booth in front of the hollywood bowl the day of the concert where we can pick up the tickets... all you need is your name and phone number to pick up the tickets

Bench seats - one side is odds and the other side is evens. You are sitting next to each other.

i know im a lito off topic here...
but for people that've been to the hollywood bowl..
do u know about how many people fits on a J2 or G2 bench?
cuz i have a J2 seat 25 ticket and im not sure is it on the edge or in the middle :]
thanx!

and about the SBS vs. MBC
hopefully it'll be solved before the last 2 artists releases
but im praying for epik high or FTI!!
or at least someone i know :]

srry if this was asked before
but can we take the bus bak home but not to the bowl?
and does anyone know what time the bus will leave the bowl?

does anybody know when the last list is coming out?......and is eru still gonna come because of the military thing?

i know they don't have special backstage passes or anything like that...
and i'm sure y'all know this already but doesn't hurt to mention it again, i'd say.
just helping fellow fans out i guess even though it's not much.
but i remember last year, i overheard a girl saying how she went really close to the backstage area and saw hyukkie kicking a soccer ball around and i feel like lots of other people just stuck around close to the back area to get a better look at the artists.
i remember thinking i wish i did that... but i didn't 'cause i was too embarrassed hahaha. (the friends i went with last year weren't too into kpop and i'm a relatively "older", ahem, fan--definitely passed my teenage years a few yrs back ).
but yeah, i kinda regretted not hanging around the back...
so i'm not promoting illegal behavior but as long as you don't disturb them, i think you can kinda "loiter" near backstage and catch glimpse of the artists.

ugh, randomly my friend mentioned to me that his old hs friend has connections and so she got to eat dinner with all the artists afterwards and showed me her pics with like boa and some suju members. damn those connections. wish i had that kinda luck. hahahaha.


eru's scheduled to enter the army on may 1st since he gave up his U.S. citizenship.
i read some reports on yahoo korea so i assume he can't come anymore. it wouldnt make sense to allow him to travel outside of the country if he's supposed to be serving in the army--they make exceptions for kcelebs, but that's going a bit too far, i'd say.

i guess we'll find out who's gonna replace him. or maybe he'll go to army after the 17th... i can't remember if the news report said that he would enter the military facilities on may 1st or if he's just gonna stop public activities on the 1st. i guess if he's just not on tv, it's ok but... if this is going to be broadcast on sbs... i dont think they're allowed to be on tv after they enter. gosh, randomly this is complicated.

oh well, que sera, sera. ~~
see y'all soon!

this news report says that he's going to report to the training facilities on may 1st and train for 4 wks... so for sure he won't be coming 'cause it also says that he's going to have his last broadcast before may 1st. oh well.... maybe they'll get more ppl to replace him as well.

if im sitting in section d or e by terrrace is there a way to get that close after/before the concert? i dont know when people plan on doing that..?


not saying i will but i am sort of curious

Hey everyone who have tickets already please post here
http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=210709

The first few years, people used to run to the front a lot but security has gotten tighter since then and keeps getting tighter every year. They check tickets constantly and have people standing at every post/section. It's probably going to be VERY VERY tight this year with DBSK going as well. VERYYYYYYYY tight (or it should be if they know what's good for them.)

Security should be tight that way no one
gets into an area they didn't pay for! haha i remember last
year as soon as suju came out all super seat people
ran to the back of terrace seats but security was there already
and asked them to sit back down...though that really didn't help
much

AWAWA ERU's Might not be coming...!!!!

XD what if you are alrd in the garden box, but move around in the other side of garden box? XD

--
and if eru doesnt come,, does that mean taejinah arent gonna go too?
if really eru doesnt come i hope they replace it with someone as talented as him..

seats are numbered in evens or odds =) so no worries

is there anyone who's sleeping at wilshire grand?

hmm...well the only one that was noticable when people were moving was
the pool circle since they were asked to sit down most of the time...for
garden box I think people stand up in their boxes don't really know..haha

I there was a huge rush last year when Big Bang was officially on stage @_@. Security was unable to help anything.
and then there were a couple girls that I watched that kept ducking in an out of areas and then into mine to hide from them since they were from way in the back and they wanted to be like hugging the stage practically. Then run when security came. So annoying.

I hope the security is better this year and no random ppl from the back of the Garden boxes come sqashing their way down into the front area. its packed enough as it is.


edit;

Does anyone know when they will be making the next announcement?

i heard that after the concert. ifyou wait in the back, they all come out and you can see them.. but im not sure exactly where.
my friends wait all the time.. they say the artists come out in order of popularity and the last ones come out at like 2...

http://www.koreanmusicfestival.com

they updated the site again^^
although they increased the size of the icons, they're still a bit tough to make out..
so click on them if you want to see what they really are (: (links you to the actual websites)
& they also put up pictures for the past years+ picture galleries.
boa was so cute back then.. i miss her chubby-ness, hahah =p

i think me and a few other girls are staying there.. lol

Oh is that new seating map thingy right?

im still mad over hyori not coming.. im soo disappointed.. sigh..

ugh i swear if koreanmusicfestival doesn't announce the final list of artist soon i'm going to kill someone...
i'm in such a bad mood >.<!
Was close to being scammed twice!! AHHH!!
I really want tickettsss =( good onesss....for a good price...
but unfortunately life isn't fair. *sigh*

anyways, so eru isn't going for sure? dang...why did he enlist..didn't he know that was booked for hollywood bowl? =/ that's three artists that have dropped out....but right now i'm so impatient i really don't care who is announced on the final list as long as the remaining artists aren't taken off

I see myself in one of the 2003 Gallery pics!

I'm the one in pink holding the baby blue balloon (for g.o.d!) Hahaha...oh the memories.

Ahaha Awesome!!! I couldn't find any of me in the 2007 batch D;
Didn't BoA go in 2003 as well? I think I saw her in the 2003
batch of pictures but I wasn't sure if was her ahaha ;x.

yea see this is what i was talking about
i dont plan to go out of the area i paid for during the actual concert
but i know every concert i go to, theres usually an area (like the back of the venue) or some place where you can spot the artists come out and sometimes even meet them

i understand this is an entirely different situation but im still curious if anyones heard of things like this after the hb concert ends?
