This is strange. Probably a lack of planning, but.....what about people who have already paid the 55,000 won price? Tickets have already been through Interpark, not Yellow. Why didn't Yellow do this in the first place?

I'm a skeptic. Is there a link with solid info, not an email address?

I wanna see Ozo, but I agree, something about this seems sketchy. I guess sending an email to them couldn't hurt, except for possibly getting on a spam list or something...

Nothing sketchy about this at all. Yellow Recommends is a new brand that is a late addition to the Yellow Entertainment and Yellow 9 family. They decided to forgo the original price of 55,000 won for this special price of 1,000 won in order to attract fans. They will continue to promote concerts each month leading up to next summer's Pentaport Rock Festival. This new brand is dedicated to bringing more bands to Seoul and play in theaters rather larger arenas.

All you need to do is email [email protected] with your name, email address, phone number and amount of tix needed and someone will reply with your confirmation.

ANSWER THE DAMNED QUESTION!!!

What about the people who already bought tickets for 55,000 won????

Can these be exchanged for the '1000 won special'?

How can this be done?

Perhaps it's time to talk to a lawyer about this...if someone's already paid the full price, how can they be scammed openly like this??

To be fair to the OP, even though he does need to reply to the post, he did PM me.

He asked if I did pay for a 55,000 won ticket and if so, he'd give me an email address of someone I could speak with and probably get a refund. Then he game me his email and said future shows would be better organized.

I'm still a skeptic until I hear that the 1,000 won tickets are real.

How many of you actually bought tickets?

If you have bought tickets at the original price, email me and I can forward your email to Yellow Ent./Yellow 9/Yellow Recommends or you can email them directly at [email protected]. and ask them. There's no reason to get upset. This was all decided at the last minute to introduce a new brand and it was thought that Ozomatli would be a great show to kick off this brand. Tickets in the future will obviously not be 1,000 and will be better organized.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions or problems.

I emailed on friday but received no response. I guess it's too late?

Any chance of getting in at the door?
