Ticket sales for JYJ Junsu's solo concert '2016 XIA 5th Asia Tour Concert in Seoul' were delayed for 7 minutes due to high web traffic, before quickly becoming sold out in just 10 minutes!
On April 29, the ticket sales took place on Melon Ticket. A great number of fans started to jam the site 10 minutes prior to the sale time, causing problems to the server and ultimately creating a delay of 7 minutes. There was no problem on mobiles, but fans who were attempting purchase tickets on a PC could not access the site.

Melon Ticket apologized for the inconvenience and reassured fans with proper function for the next round of ticket sales. They also shared a comment regarding Junsu's immense popularity and said, "It is not easy for a solo artist to fill up such a big concert hall, but Junsu once again shows great ticket power, and proves to be a 'concert king'."
We hope everyone will enjoy's Junsu's presence at his solo concert!
Now almost every concert of top idols takes place with the same excitement with tickets, but perhaps the technology has become more powerful. For work, I came across this page where tips are written that will bring more online traffic to website. But now it seems to me that even 200 such recommendations will not bring as much traffic as one concert announcement
