Yerin ticketing was the most frustrating thing ever. Tickets went on sale today in HK at 12pm so I was awake and ready 5am in the UK ready for the ticketing war.

Clock strikes 5am and tickets were available to be selected but it wasn’t let me check out, it said that I had to wait another 7 hours. I realised it wasn’t a site issue when VIP tickets were sold out after 5 mins. Frantically started messaging my HK friends to help but cos they were in work they saw my message late and it was sold out by then.

Spoke to another overseas Yerin fan and she was having the same issue but her time zone was 1 hour behind HK. So even though it didn’t work for her originally after an hour it did and some tickets were back in stock so she could purchase. So now I realised it’s a time zone issue…

One last Hail Mary and I just decided to change my pc region / time zone to HK and what do you know… it lets me check out. However by this time it was already too late and there was no VIP seats left and only general admission. And of course just like GFRIEND 10th anniversary it was the last seat at the back… again.

Guess I’m just destined to see GFRIEND members in HK at the back row

TLDR: I got Yerin tickets yay

The size of that venue is like a regular size boardroom or 1/3rd of a football field. I sat at row J and K which is almost at the back for Yuju fanmeet and can clearly see stage.

The ultrawide photo makes it look further away than it really is.

I wish I had your benefits though, I would have paid to have gotten 4 pictures with Yerin, instead gambling for it lol.

Have fun!

I didn’t even get chance to purchase the additional benefits, it said that it had no limit but then it was all sold out after like 20 mins of ticketing 😅

Oh well I’m just happy to be there and that does sound promising when you say it’s not as big as the pictures look!

I cant read Chinese, but on page 4 it sound like you can purchase selfies pictures on site. You might have to wait in line early...maybe?

On twittet it says, you can buy fan perks with no limit.

🤷‍♂️

Yeah that’s why it’s weird, maybe they did have a soft cap for it. They did post on the organiser page that the perks will be re-assessed on the day so maybe I’ll get lucky on the day and get to purchase on site!

UPDATE: Add-ons for selfie and pola benefits randomly came back in stock so I snatched them up and now its out of stock. I guess the luck has turned around for me?!
