— Is everyone all ready?

— Of course I do~

— Let's start now!

At Ryu CheongWoo's question, confident answers returned.

Only us and our staff were in the PC room we rented to film the "TeSTAR Concert Ticket Reservation" content.

We sat in front of computers with faces that seemed to die of joy as if shouting "We're going to have a concert soon!".

— Today we will reserve some tickets for our concert and, together with our autographs, we will raffle them among the Loviewers!

— I'll try to get a good position near the stage!

There was nervousness, but no bitter seriousness.

"Even in the worst case, I think I'll get a corner seat somewhere."

In fact, I think it will be worth it because the total number of tickets, added to the two days of the concert, will be for 26,000 people.

That is, there are 13,000 seats available for each concert day.

But there was a strange conviction among my peers: "Perhaps, even if each of us makes his reservation on his own computers, we will not get even one of the 13,000 tickets."

Of course I was skeptical.

“I think they are the ones that are going to fail.”

I can tell from just hearing their conversation.

— Oh, if the sale starts at 8 o'clock... I get to the page at 8, right?

— I think so.

— I want a ticket on the first floor!

— ...

I think that at most they will stay on the home page and not load the seat selection page.

Maybe one or two people get tickets in the area farthest from the stage.

"...As expected, I have to catch a good spot."

If we only get the worst places, our image will be ruined. Therefore, it would be better if one or two of us were successful with the tickets.

To tell the truth, I have rarely attended concerts. I attended a few just to extract data as I received individual requests.

However, I've made several attempts when it comes to proxy ticketing and the success rate was good.

“It was good to get expensive tickets.”

But there was a high probability that the law would catch me, so I stopped because that was not a simple offense, but a crime.

Anyway, I think this time I might be able to get a ticket legally.

At this time, Seon AhHyun, who was sitting next to me, spoke to me in a low voice. Looking at his computer screen, I think he just accessed the reservation site.

— Moo-MoonDae-ya, which area are you going to choose?

— Hmm… I was thinking of section 8 on the second floor.

— Se-second floor?

— Are you trying to get a ticket easily~?

— Everyone chose the first floor!

The guys around me who overheard the conversation butted in and made brave comments that didn't know the truth.

However, AhHyun nodded enthusiastically.

— Th-then… should I choose the second floor? W-what else should I do?

He recognized his inexperience and sought advice from him.

"...Should I tell him everything I know?"

I briefly gave advice on website settings and server time.

— Once you enter this website, you need to set up your username, for example, mine is Park Apple…

— Oh, MoonDae is teaching us!

— I want to hear it too!

— Do you want me to teach you?

— ...The server time of the booking site is displayed, based on that, it will be seen if you manage to book before someone else does.

There were too many interruptions, so for now, I'll stop talking.

— I-I see!

AhHyun immediately tampered with his PC and soon after, the time and his new username appeared.

— Oooh!

The boys got excited and did the same. CheongWoo and Bae Sejin also started to learn by snooping around.

"Hmm, it's better than falling straight to the ground."

There were only ten minutes left until booking began, so I quickly revealed everything I knew.

— Preferably, open multiple tabs of the same website, you have to reload them 59 seconds before the time…

At the end of the summary explanation, they began to feel a bit serious.

— A-a lot of preparation is needed…

— If MoonDae hadn't investigated, we might all have failed, right?

I think that because I gave advice in the most detailed way possible, I made him feel a little desperate.

And as the announced hour approached, the atmosphere intensified.

— Three minutes left.

— Huh.

— Let's get good spots to give to our Loviewers~

— We will do our best!

— Fi-fighting…!

They seem to have forgotten that even if we don't get tickets, the Loviewers will still attend.

Well, if we do something wrong… we could buy a ticket on resale

I shrugged and grabbed the mouse.

From the blind spot of the camera, the staff waved at us to count down.

— 10, 9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1!

As they counted down, I reloaded the website tabs before the hour.

— ...!

And nothing happened.

The computer screen froze.

"Incredible."

No, I really have no other way to explain it other than this.

Endless loading continued on all tabs. I wondered if it would change when the traffic slowed down a bit, so while I was going back and forth between the browser tabs, taking in the situation, seven minutes passed in which nothing changed.

The surroundings were also noisy. It seems none of them were successful on the website.

"Maybe it's a server crash."

I left the PC and looked at the app on my phone.

It was a sentence of defeat.

— ...

I was trying to refrain from using my phone because I was filming, but I thought there was a bug so I went to check on the app.

"...Am I screwed?"

Just like my companions… I couldn't get a single ticket?

I could not believe it.

“...Even at the VTIC concert I was successful.”

Even though it was three years ago, those bastards were already a prestigious group...!

Even then, the server crashed. I had a distant memory of how I had to switch tabs and keep trying until I got a ticket.

But I don't know why it didn't work now.

“...I wanted to book a ticket for my own concert.”

Honestly, I was puzzled.

After rechecking the PC screen with blank tabs and the app a few more times on my phone, I accepted reality.

"There is nothing I can do."

…It's disappointing that he didn't get a single ticket.

But if I couldn't, then the chances of others getting a ticket are too low...

— Oh, oooh?

In that instant, AhHyun began to quickly move his mouse while he shouted in astonishment.

When I looked at his screen, the tab changed and a payment window popped up.

— ...

— Hul, AhHyun made it?

— What kind of skill did you use?!

— I-I don't know… I-I did everything MoonDae told me!

AhHyun responded with a puzzled face, but began to steadily follow the steps as instructed.

After entering the personal information that he had copied beforehand, he carefully selected the payment method linking it to his bank account and proceeded to the next page.

The chosen seat location was in the center of the second floor.

— Wow, it's amazing!

— AhHyun was successful.

— ...I'm glad at least one person has made it.

The boys had already entered into a celebratory atmosphere, patting AhHyun's shoulders to congratulate him.

— ...

But I looked bitterly at his computer screen.

Suddenly, SeJin came up to me and patted me on the back.

— Hul, MoonDae MoonDae, are you sad that only AhHyun could get it?

Ahhyun was shocked.

— J-j-just because MoonDae taught me…! I-I did as MoonDae told me…

— No, that's not why I'm like this...

Before he could explain, the screen on his PC changed.

I had the notification that I sensed that it would come out.

— ...

— ...

There was a deathly silence. She knew this would happen.

“...The page took too long to load.”

If the upload is too short or too long, there is usually an error.

AhHyun couldn't accept the situation and froze. The others didn't seem to be doing well either.

"...I think there will be a lot of mistakes when paying for tickets."

Just in case, I checked the tabs to see if he could make a reservation, but they were still blank.

"Shit."

Will there be someone else who has achieved it?

The server seems to be down because the booking site couldn't handle the traffic, so everyone could be looking at the same blank screen.

I calmly guessed.

“Many people may not have been able to book properly yet.”

Of course it wasn't.

After three minutes, he finally loaded the booking page and showed it off.

— ...

Surprisingly many people were able to make a reservation through that shoddy server.

— Really?

— Is this the end...?

Everything is over.

And so that they would not believe that it was false, several articles began to appear reporting the event.

That's right.

I just… lost to my fans in ticket sales.

I suffered a disastrous loss where I couldn't even see the seating map.

— ...

This data partner has to add a loss to his history.

NT: “Data partner” or “data pal” is a data seller (photos and videos of idols). He’s refering to himself.

* * *

At the news of TeSTAR's first concert, only the fans were excited and happy, but it was not big news for the general public. This is because they usually don't plan to attend idol concerts.

Furthermore, TeSTAR had announced their comeback date. Since this news drew more attention, the news about the concert seemed to pass in silence.

…Until the video surfaced of TeSTAR's failed attempt to buy tickets to their own concert.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

— Oh God hahahahaha

— Don't you think they're crying? ha ha ha

— It's even more fun if they watch the full video, they go crazy

— The funniest thing is when they apologize for not having a ticket to raffle at the end. Did you see the thumbnail of the WeTube video that shows them apologizing? LOL

— It was the page server's fault ㅠㅠ haha

— In the TeSTAR statement the day before yesterday they looked more confident (Screenshot)

L Hahahahahahahahahaha

L Reality: They were all eliminated

— They look too cute and I sympathize with them lol

— Our boys experienced the same thing I did! Haha but they will be at the concert, right? I... don't... have... a ticket...

L Ooooh...ㅠㅠ

L I hope you are successful in getting the cancellation ticket…

The fact that TeSTAR couldn't book a single ticket became a fun topic of discussion because it went bust in a splendid way.

There were many reactions towards the actions of one member in particular, who despite having prepared and done his best, had a great failure.

It was Park MoonDae.

— But Park MoonDae really did his best. He didn't know that he would open so many tabs in the browser and also install the app on his phone hahahaha

L I think he could have gotten a ticket, but I was unlucky because of the server… he looked very cute when he was surprised

— Why does he take all his activities seriously? It's always been like this since the days of chicken feet lol

L The best thing about it was that he seemed to be calm, but when he failed, he broke down ㅠ

— It looks like he did it on purpose

L Why would a super handsome main vocalist do that...?

— Moon Puppy did nothing wrong, the server was the bad guy

— Park MoonDae was excited to share his research, his eyes sparkled, but when he failed, he made a Tibetan fox face hahahaha

L Sht hahahahahahahaha

L As expected, he uses the puppy emote only when he's fine, but the trend will change soon if he shows his real emote which is that of a Tibetan fox

The general public mingled with fans and talked about Park MoonDae and TeSTAR for a long time.

Fans enjoyed the warm and cute atmosphere of the sales after a long time, but at the same time wept over the miserable failure of the ticket server.

Then an unexpected effect occurred.

The content related to the TeSTAR concert began to attract more interest.

— Oh, will they upload the progress of the sub-units to WeTube? When you upload it, share it here too. It reminds me of Icorpo, that's why I want to see it…

—They will also release their new songs at the concert. They are preparing a lot, right? hahaha

L I guess that's why they got really nervous when they failed to buy the tickets lol

L They were going to give us some tickets, but they don't have any...!

L It's very funny hahahaha I already want to see how they will do the concert hahaha

And before the mood faded, the teasers of the concert and the reality show of the process of the sub-units were uploaded to WeTube.

Even the announcement of the VOD service was made early, absorbing the overwhelming demand for concerts.

[ : VOD or “Video on demand” is a form of on-demand television that allows you to enjoy specific audiovisual content at any time. It is like a way to watch a special program on television, without the need for a traditional operator and with access through the internet (for example, through Twitch or Netflix) but obviously it requires a payment. ]

The atmosphere was heated to the maximum, that is, it was in full swing.

— T1 is still working, what is going on?

— I'm looking forward to the concert so much that I feel like I'm going crazy...

— It's good that they changed the CEO ㅠㅠ

Thanks to this, the fans celebrated the first day of the concert with high expectations and burning enthusiasm.
