BTS Is Back! BTS Returns With Free Seoul Concert At Gwanghwamun Square Massive Amount Of Fans Expected
The free concert of BTS is going to be on March 21, at the Gwanghwamun Square and there will be many people from not just in Seoul, but all over the world coming to see the concert. The best estimate for the total amount of people that will attend will be around 260,000, which may make it one of the biggest concerts ever held in Seoul. The concert will only last for one hour, and that is according to the BTS managers at HYBE, who have put together a lot of detailed plans and procedures on how to access the concert. The absence of ticketing for entry to the concert and having it take place in a publicly accessible area like the public square vs being located inside an arena will create added concern regarding concert access control. As such, the City of Seoul and the.
Police Department developed a concert plan that included; stage location, egress and ingress routes, crowd control processes and means of protecting all concert attendees and performers. As demand for tickets to the BTS concert skyrocketed immediately upon opening reservation, 1300 + tickets were booked in the first minute or two, and then all +15000 tickets were gone less than 15-minutes after that report. When ticket reservations started there were over 100,000 simultaneous users on one seller's website, causing severe lag. Fans were found in many PC cafés or "internet" cafés attempting to gain fast enough access to the internet to reserve as many individual tickets as possible, and to improve their chances, fans would cooperate by operating multiple devices and all share their experiences of being disconnected from the booking website on message boards.
