2) that's what i mean about the block seats. it's not that they're fans but that it's UFA or the company buying back/closing off seats. it makes absolutely no sense for 5 tickets to be sold on a average basis a day and then surprisingly and sporadically in the middle of the week 300 chairs neatly placed next to each other in even rows get sold out within the same minute. not only is that impossible for it to be a group of nonfans, but fans as well. let's be serious here. also, the first cut to be made was about 400 seats. 100 in the blue section, 100 in the purple section and the remaining in the green section. all neatly straight across. that's not people. it's more than obvious the company is cutting the seats down. not fans buying it. but hey, if Korea gets jealous of the fake sales and works harder at selling out their seats. amazing!
3) i'm afraid Taiwan will be a disaster. MM has been promoting Taiwan for the past 4 months. they even went there to do extra promo two weeks ago and that only increased sales about 80 seats. i can only hope things get better.
4) your remark on Korea implies you just don't want Korea to upstage Taiwan, which they might be doing. to be honest, i'd like to see MM do well in BOTH countries. but one is obviously more receptive than the other even with less promo.
5) Korea's sales, i have no idea how they're going. there's no index to show what is what. but i guess we'll have to find out
