[No Reply] Smell of Idols?

On 3rd November at 2pm the ticketing for No Reply's Concert through Ticketlink was supposed to open. But a lot of fans had problems with Ticketlink as the side was first down some minutes after 2pm, then for some it was possible to get to the actual pre-sale page and after about 10 people got their tickets, the program showed some error message at the end of the pre-order-procedure that the place chosen was already taken. It was just able to get tickets through an automatic seat-chosing system which held back a lot of fans to get the seats they wanted. A lot of people were complaining about Ticketlink and asked Mintpaper to say good bye to them. After an apolgy-letter by Ticketlink, Happy Robot and Mintpaper, everyone who pre-ordered will get a 1000won discount on the other Mintpaper Winter Specials.

Hundreds of people tried to get tickets for No Reply and even with the Ticketlink chaos 10 seats were left after not even an hour and soon it was sold out. Already the fact that No Reply as a newcomer was performing in such a big hall was a big issue. Tomorrow, on friday, there will be an additional ticket opening, selling the last places out of 500. The incredible ticketing, the masses that filled even the outside of the Loving Forest Garden at the GMF, the uprising questions about girlfriends in the 'ask-what-you-want-corner'; all those happenings leave a certain idol-smell on No Reply.

let me be silly for a moment, but everything there is true (Ticketlink was a real chaos for the first 15 minutes). And the expression 'idol-smell' is made for real by the korean fans.

tickets buying is such a rat race these days, but it's nice that at least they got a discount in the end.

it does kind of leave an 'idol' smell, but so long as the music is good I don't care what they smell like. X]

I know, it is :|
1000 won is actually not really much. it's not even a dollar ....

I know, it doesn't matter, but idol's fans are scary ;_;
