[News] 091221 The Third Round of Xiah Junsu Musical ‘Mozart!’ Ticket Sales is Sold Out……… Again

Musical ‘Mozart!’ which is the first musical challenge for Xiah Junsu held its third round on-line ticket sales on December 21st which began at 9 am and once again shows its boasting power as it took only 3 hours for all the tickets to be sold out.

The whole 12,000 tickets for total 4 stages on the days where Kim Junsu will perform were sold out in only 3 hours thus added another stages of 11 stages which had been sold out.

Since during the second round ticket sales the reservation site was crashed, thus for this third round ticket sales the publisher placed Mozart advanced sales period to the less peak time on 9 am at both Interpark and Sejong Cultural Center website, however, still all servers supporting for both websites were down thus it was really difficult to access during the sales.

Representative from “Mozart!” publisher EMK Musical Company, Um Hong-hyun said, “The power of one idol to draw whole attention to the ticket sales was not a concern among us before, we really didn’t see it coming.” and, “We hope through Kim Junsu, the fans will learn more about the many number works by Mozart and will also watch other actors’ performances so they’re getting to know more closer about what musical actually is.”

Um also said, “In current difficult economic situation, many publisher marketing targeted women in their 30th – 40th for musical performances, however, we now have the opportunity to improve to the next generation of musical market as the audiences will be on the 10th and mid-to late 20th. There’s hope to broaden the width of our female audiences.”

Meanwhile the 4th round of musical ‘Mozart!’ ticket sales will be announced later in January 2010 and the show itself is going to take the stage from January 20th to February 21st, 2010 in a large-scale venue at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, Seoul.
