Korea Indonesia Friendship Festival 2010 | review

This is what happened yesterday. I didn't get the ticket for the concert. I want it so bad so I decided to just go to senayan without having the ticket. When I got there, I was surprised to see that there was actually two kind of tickets, Indoor and Outdoor. There people who sell the outdoor ticket for Rp200.000 at first. There was only one thing.. Outdoor means literally outdoor, and we were supposed to watch them on a slide. I was like, dear god, what kind of human would sell such tickets. There were people who offered us to go inside by paying the security. It was kind of shocking. Of course, I want to watch it as well, but who said any of these guys are honest. Long story became short, I bought the Indoor tickets for @ Rp375.000 from a man outside that was going to sell it to me for @ Rp600.000 at first.

The show was amazing. The Shinee boys were really put it out there, I expect nothing less. The beautiful and colorful lightsticks were all over Tennis Indoor Senayan. The crowds inside only want one thing: friendship. The atmosphere was as beautiful as I tried to describe it. I love being in a concert, honestly. I just enjoy spending my time in a place where everyone feels like one.

After the show finished, the crowd were rushing like crazy. They were like a storm coming out of nowhere. I was confused because I didn't know where to go, or why was everyone in such a hurry? Then I asked someone and she said that shinee was going to go out that way. No one really knew anything, they were just hoping they got to see their idols for the last time.

While I was going to go to the parking lot, there were a group of people crowding around the building. I asked them and again, they said that the boys were going this way. I waited there a little while and there were polices and securities. I was thinking, "they are going this way? they must be out of their mind to try to cross the crowd!" And hell it was. They Shinee boys came out of the door with securities pushing the crowd away. It was really dangerous because the fans were mostly girls I get carried by the crowd and it was like the click five video "catch your wave." watch it. you will know. The girls were pushing and I solemnly said that I almost die back there. Thank god I am still alive.

I am not gonna describe about how Shinee looks in real life, they were as gorgeous as we have seen in television. A lot of girls had been pushed away and fell. And someone slipped into the sewer as well. I must say this was not a right way to enjoy this. No offense but somehow the securities was kinda suck. All this time I watched concerts and this was the first time I saw the performer got out of the building by passing the crowds. It was suicidal wasn't it? After I got out of the crowd (still alive and well) people were still rushing and pushing each other!

It was so different with John from Secondhand serenade, I must say. My friends and I were offered to go to the meet and greet after the concert. With about 15 other people we sang secondhand serenade's song when john walked in and it was beautiful. But with this one, outside, were crazy sick.

I hope next time they could built better security, better performance, and better relationships between the two countries. (they must do something with the unofficial seller and scam).
