Persona in Bangkok...

It would have been Persona in Bangkok on January 9 had DO stick with the schedule.

I would have been traveling tomorrow anticipating this concert. But we all know that the concert has been moved to February 13. With the change of date, I’ve to coordinate again our tickets to my contact for re-printing. Then I’ve to call my airline about the re-booking of my ticket to make sure that I won’t be incurring any additional fee if I re-book a day before the supposed flight which is January 8. And the waiting… the waiting for the final notice from DSP to come out that Persona in Bangkok is confirmed which unfortunately until now hasn’t been out.

Honestly, I think I’ve exhausted all efforts to know whether the February 13 is a go or no go. I’ve asked a friend in Japan to call DSP Japan, My Seoulmate to call DSP in Seoul. I was even exchanging emails with a Thai fan to make sure the February 13 is a go. Funny thing is that, all have different answers whenever I inquire.

DSP Japan said that Feb 13 is a not go yet [this was last weekend I think]. From my Thai friend who has contact with the organizer, she said that it’s a go on February 13. Hmm, what about DSP Seoul? Well, I’ve been in touch with my friend about this and she’s been very very helpful to secure answer from DSP. But in December, what she always get as a reply was that February 13 is not yet confirmed and just wait for DSP announcement. Yeah, we’ve been waiting for ages and up to this writing no announcement yet.

But then just last Monday, my friend told me that Persona in BKK is already confirmed and that announcement from DSP will be out this week. Yay, announcement will be ‘out this week’. Ha! ^_^ Two days before the supposed concert and still nothing from DSP. Oh wells, whatever…

I’ve no choice but to re-book today since the last option given to me by my airline is today. So with or without confirmation from DSP, with only the ‘Persona in BKK confirmed’ that my Seoulmate told me, I re-booked my ticket to Bangkok. Sigh… Just hoping that there will be no more unpleasant surprises coming from DSP.

I was charged only a minimum fee for re-booking but other than that no more. I’m just glad that I bought my ticket from this airline and with no restrictions, otherwise, had I bought my ticket with the other airline, I would be flying tomorrow to Bangkok for no reason at all and won’t be attending the February 13 concert. Wouldn’t that just be frustrating?

Anyway, now that I’ve re-booked, I’m getting excited anew. I cannot wait for the day to come and meet new friends.

With that I hope to get my money’s worth and all worries worthy this February 13. ^_^ I must get a flying kiss from Leader! Jung Min must give me a wink! I must get Kyu Jong's sweetest smile! Young Saeng must give me huge wave! Maknae an aegyo! ^_^ Oh yeah…right... in my dreams... lol!

Btw, was comparing the prices with the other concerts Seoul one is the cheapest it’s only US$88 [99,000 Won only. hopefully the cost of the Encore will still be the same ^^], Taiwan costs US$142, Shanghai is quite expensive at US$187 [is this correct?], Hong Kong is US$127 [and so worth it!] and Bangkok is US$166 [but we got our ticket $20 more expensive].

Whatever its worth I know that I’ll be having a great time in Bangkok from February 11 to 14. I said earlier, going to concerts is not just watching SS501 for me but meeting friends a well. I’ll be seeing for the first time a huge Kyu Jong fan from TS SG who has the same nationality as I am. An Indonesian from soompi who is a big Leader fan. I'll be seeing again my partner at the Hong Kong fan meeting who will be coming from Australia who is secretly inlove with Jung Min. A Kyu Jong fan from SG who’s been very nice to me for letting me share some stuffs in my blog. Another Kyu Jong fanatic from the US who’s also been sooooo nice to me and always giving me wonderful materials to share here in my blog. And hopefully my Seoulmate will be watching a well [She was in HK too but didn’t watch the concert because she has another purpose why she’s in HK. But she’s the sweetest, From the airport before proceeding to her destination she went to the venue to see me (and another friend) for a brief moment then left].

We all know that there will be many Chinese TS who had bought tickets that won't be attending anymore. Same with the Korean fans though I know that there are still some who are going to give support to SS501.

With one month and 6 days to go for the big event in Bangkok, I wonder how the tickets are selling. I wonder what DSP especially DO the organizer are doing to advertise the concert. I know that Thai TS are doing their best to promote this. Two thumbs up to Thai TS for doing the extra mile. Good luck!
