[News] SHINee’s London concert tickets sell out in a minute

SHINee has been invited to be the opening act at London’s Korean Film Festival to take place at Odeon West End Theater on November 3rd, and will also be performing their ‘SHINee in London‘ concert.

This will be the first time that a Korean artist will be holding an independent concert in London, and tickets for the show were sold out within a minute after going on sale at 1:00PM on the 27th. There was so much demand that the servers began to crash immediately after the tickets were up for sale. The sales site for London’s largest theater, Odeon, was down for five hours. It was also impossible to purchase theater tickets on the numerous other sites that were selling the theater tickets online. Fans began calling in over the phone to obtain their tickets, as well as going to the theater in person to try and purchase their tickets.

A representative from Odeon remarked, “This is the first time our server went down. We didn’t know so many people would try to purchase the tickets all at once.” Odeon Theater will be enforcing heavy security the day of the event for the safety of the fans and SHINee themselves.

The SHINee boys will be traveling to London on the 1st, and will be performing their hit songs such as “Noona so pretty“, “Juliet“, “Lucifer“, “Ring Ding Dong“, and more.
