People are still lining up to get tickets for IU’s upcoming concert. 

On August 3rd, IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, released a detailed schedule of ticketing for IU’s solo concert “The Golden Hour: Under the Orange Sun” to be held at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul Jamsil Sports Complex on September 17 and 18.

As this will be an in-person concert for IU and fans to meet each other face-to-face after a long time, it has garnered a huge amount of attention. It has been 5 days since ticketing started, but the queuing line for reservations shows no sign of declining.

A netizen revealed on an online community that their queue number was 747 in the waiting list. According to the public waiting list, as of 2 pm KST on August 15th, there were more than 800 people lining up to get tickets for IU’s concert.
