All is set for Song Joong-ki’s fan meet in Thailand, to be held at the Thunder Dome, Nonthaburi in Bangkok. Tickets have been sold out for the 4,500-seat venue and fans are lining up to enter the dome.
Like other events where tickets are prized possessions, especially when the event is about to begin, the Law of Supply and Demand would prevail. That means those who bought extra tickets are now enjoying handsome profits as scalpers. Thaiticket Major and the other authorized sellers of the tickets to the fan meet placed a maximum purchase of four tickets per buyer.
But even among online ticket sellers, prices are now way above the official 5,000, 3,500 and 1,800 baht.
At Ticketbis.net, it lists only five more tickets available, one in Zone 3 and four in Zone. The Zone 3 ticket, the cheapest, is listed at £200.25 or 10,100 baht, while the most expensive ticket is £372.22 or about 18,800 baht at an exchange rate of £1 = THB 50.67.
At Tixsearcher.com, there is only one ticket left that sells for $231 or about 8,100 baht.
At Twitter, Japanese travel agency Sunes Trip advertised a package deal for the Bangkok fan meet. The package includes ticket to the fan meet, hotel accommodation, three meals, tour guide, local transportation and a visit to tourist attractions.
Thunder Dome is a popular venue for live band music concerts. The other popular venue is Impact Arena. The two are adjacent to each other and located 45 minutes away from the Suvarnabhumi International Airport or 15 minutes from the domestic airport. From the business district, the dome is 30 minutes drive via the expressway.
