The tickets to “Death Note” musical have been hard to get due to the massive amount of fans thanks to the star-studded cast. Some people who have gotten the tickets are taking advantage of this situation and are re-selling the tickets for up to 1 million KRW (approx. 880 USD).
C-Jes Culture, the company in charge of the musical, stated, “We are getting many reports of the illegal transactions of ‘Death Note’ musical tickets. These illegal transactions done on unofficial sites are being monitored by the company.”
It continued, “If we find out the specific seats or the illegal sellers, we will undergo steps to cancel those tickets and charge crimes against those people. It is true that we can cancel the tickets if they are bought or sold illegally even if you receive them on the day of the musical. We will continue to monitor illegal transactions of tickets after the musical, so we need help from those not taking part in these illegal actions. If you find someone taking part in these transactions, please contact our company immediately.”
The company revealed their reason behind taking legal action, stating, “After monitoring the situation, we have found that the tickets for the VIP (originally 140,000 KRW (approx. 120 USD)) and the R (originally 120,000 KRW (approx. 100 USD)) sections are being sold for up to 1 million KRW (approx. 880 USD). We are taking action because these kinds of illegal transactions have been way out of line. We have already tracked down and cancelled a ticket that was sold for 500,000 KRW (approx. 440 USD) on July 8. We hope that no one is a victim of these cases and that people will follow concert etiquette.”
Meanwhile, “Death Note” musical tickets sold out completely for the multiple times tickets went on sale. 60,000 tickets for all showings have been sold, making this a new record in the history of all musicals.

Some people can’t just resist the temptation benefiting the hot it situation. Knowing how well popular this musical is and how limited the seats are, they didn’t think much but gaining extra profits for themselves.
Can’t really blame them, though. Death note has been the talk of the town (if not nation) in musical industry that some people are willing to pay higher price to see it.
On the side note, junsu, do you see how powerful and influential you are? XD
There is available tickets for all dates on Interpark. I think many tickets got canceled.
People bought tickets not to go to the musical but to sell and if they can’t sell they cancel.
Plus many japanese and chinese fans can’t go cause MERS.
It’s bad. Fans think that all tickets sold and they can’t go, but actors see many empty seats.
