so it's just a random pick on who gets to interact and personally see them? I'm confused about the details. is it an actual concert? or is it basically like a music show stage where they just perform some of their own songs?

Like an actual concert, some people are picked to video chat with them but most just watch. You basically just need to put a question in to apply after you've gotten a ticket and they choose some out of those responses. I'm pretty sure they're performing like at an actual concert, not just one or two songs but a lot. I think WayV might have a couple unreleased songs too but I'm not certain. SuperM possibly too.

I guess it really just depends on how they carry this whole thing out. if it's just them performing their songs on an Inkigayo stage then I think fans have a right to be mad...

I don't think this would be a problem if 30 bucks paid for the whole thing... but 30 per act is a little too much.

it's not like paying for a concert ticket. you're at home watching from a device. you're not at a venue, you're not actually physically seeing them live. there are no special effects, there's no fan interaction. this thing is im assuming pre-recorded content. your paying for a performance, not the concert itself. not even concert DVDs cost this much.

what kpop concert have you gone to for 30 dollars...
30 dollars vs a actual kpop concert ticket is basically nothing...
i dont think its expensive tbh...
cause it not like you paying 30 for 1 song you paying for a whole performance...
its exclusive content... what isnt going be cheap


and sm concert dvds do cost this much...

I highly doubt they would call it a concert if that was the case. They've had no issue having performances for charity streams or whatnot for free. Also for $30 you can share it with another person too, whether someone physically close to you or someone else who wants to watch you can both watch it together. I'm expecting concert type performances.

Do you get to keep the recording after you watch it?

I believe so

I believe so

Then it's a bit pricey but not outrageously so

That’s assuming that people are only paying for one act. A lot of nct fans are fan of the entire group... of course there are people who only stan one unit but there are still a lot who stan the entire group. Expecting people to pay $110 just to watch the entire thing, minus the actual concert experience is iffy to me. But it really depends on how they carry this out..

I hope that’s the case. I guess were just gonna have to find out once the concert happens

But the time peroid for one concert is still going be same so 1hr30mins roughly...
so 4 shows...
6hrs... of content... for 30 dollars...
no company is that stupid...

if sm was going do it so that it would be 1 concert
each group would get 4 songs and that it...
id rarther 4 concerts... i buy through time...

at the end of the day fans just need to pick 1 to watch live..
and the others to watch after live when the price will most likely drop... on vlive as no longer live...

$110 is an average concert ticket price. They are live streaming a “concert” and fans don’t get to have an actual concert experience. Sm doesn’t have to spend as much money considering everything including venues, staff, special effects etc are being downsized. I’m not saying that it has to be free but we’re in the middle of a pandemic, not everyone has $110 to spend on an online concert, especially when so many can barely afford to get essential products to live. Again it really just depends on how they carry this out and if it’s worth fans dropping that much in a time like this.

I'm fine with people debating prices I just can't take those that say it needs to be free, that's too much.

yeh but we talking about 4 concerts...
not 1....
why people acting like this is 1 show... its 4...
6+ hours worth of content...
different members of staff, team, managments
differnt idols...
like not 1 wayv member is in dream... so yeh not same concert


and not everyone wants to watch every concert...
me being one of them..
i only want to watch the nct dream one...
so im going only pay 30 dollars...
kinda the whole point

just because you don't want to watch every concert does not mean there aren't people who do. and like I said before fans arent actually getting the full concert experience. I can understand them making fans pay money to see these concerts but idk $30 per act is still a lot. especially when we're going through a crisis right now. it's just a little tone-deaf on sm's part. hopefully, they prove me wrong and make a concert that's enjoyable enough for the money that fans spent on it.

Well the money thing depends on the country, SM clearly didn't gear it for American fans anyways considering it's at 2 AM for me, they're clearly going after Asian countries and I don't know what the financial situation is there

but 30 dollars isnt alot after considering all the staff they going have to pay for this concerts...
as they going have to have tech team for the broadcast plus for lights etc
then everything what goes into making a concert

and if you look on twitter alot people plan to watch it illegally
and thouse same people would of planned to do that even if it was cheap,,
so sm prob new this and had to consider this lost



and due to what is going on i wouldnt be surprissed if sm has more expensives due to haviing to buy masks etc for staff

Demanding it be free is ridiculous and shame on them. And I was fine seeing the $30 price tag since regular concerts are usually WAAAAAY more... but then I saw it was $30 *per act* and balked at that price tag for something you're just sitting at your computer for. Now I have mixed feelings lol.

Well it's still 4 individual concerts and because you can use 2 devices you can split it with someone for 15 per concert

I think it shouldn't be free. it's just fair to set prices
