SINGAPORE: K-pop girl group SNSD (aka Girl's Generation) will be staging a second performance on December 10, 6pm at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, after all 5,500 tickets to their first show were sold out within four hours of going on sale recently.
Tickets to SNSD's second concert will go on sale from November 2 for Samsung customers and OCBC cardholders while members of the public can purchase their tickets from November 4 via SISTIC.
"We're over the moon that the girls are able to perform a second night here as we understand there are many fans who might not have gotten their tickets.
"With the additional show on 10 Dec, we hope this will give fans a greater opportunity to watch the concert and deter anyone from purchasing tickets from the black market", said concert promoter Running Into The Sun's (RITS) Managing Director Beatrice Chia-Richmond.
Tickets to the nine-member girl group's first concert on December 9 were exceedingly popular and attracted the attention of black market profiteers, who began selling tickets on the black market for as much as S$1,000 per ticket.
The most expensive ticket to SNSD's concert here costs only S$218.
A spokesperson for RITS said the company has already begun taking various measures to combat black market profiteers.
The company is also working with their ticketing service provider and the concert venue on a new system to identify and turn away people who had purchased their tickets on the black market.
