KPop in Indonesia

Picture 1. SM Town World Tour III in Jakarta

Korean wave hit Indonesia even harder this year. The Koreans seemed to aware of large fans-base in Indonesia and then more KPop artists visited Indonesia.

Ticket distribution which was previously dominated by direct ticket sales by the event organizer (or promotor). The event organizer would rent a space in a shopping mall or hotel to conduct a one day ticket sales. Currently multiple channels have been used to distribute tickets, as an example:
  • SM Town World Tour III: Pre sale ticket was done through multiple local fansites, then the tickets were redeemed during the one day ticket sale. Afterwards, the remaining tickets were sold through a web-based ticketing (MyTicket.co.id)
  • Wonder Girls Wonder World: Beside tiket sales through the one-day-ticket-sale, ticket was also distributed through a web-based ticketing (RajaKarcis.com) and a local mini-mart chain (Indomaret)
