GUNS N' ROSES Breaking Ticket Sales Records In Korea
November 17, 2009, 15 years ago
Kim Hyung-eun from JoongAng Daily is reporting:
Next month, legendary rock band GUNS N' ROSES will visit Seoul for its first gig in Korea.
While some music fans might categorize the group as yet another ho-hum act way past its prime - the band has been around for 24 years, after all - the concert organizer sees it in a different light.
Access Entertainment, which is behind the show, said in a press release that of all the foreign rock bands it has helped bring to town in the past, none have enjoyed as much attention as Guns N’ Roses. Officials believe that the concert will prove to be a satisfying experience for both the older generation that idolized the group in the 1990s as well as the younger generation that has discovered GNR relatively recently.
“Tickets sales have already broken records set by other successful concerts we organized earlier in the year, like the LADY GAGA show this August,” Yvette Moon, a manager at Access Entertainment, said on Monday.
The concert organizer promises that audiences will hear more than just tracks from the latest album, Chinese Democracy. The band, Access Entertainment said, will play other hit songs in what is the group’s first - and possibly last - concert in Korea.
Guns N’ Roses will perform at 7 p.m. on Dec. 13 at the Olympic Park Gymnasium in southern Seoul. Tickets start at 110,000 won ($95.30). For reservations or more information, call 1544-1555 or check out http://ticket.interpark.com.
