To my knowledge, the tickets were available for purchase some weeks ago but since there was no confirmation from any official source, fans were discouraged from buying. Since the organizers have approached TARAChina and TARABar, things are clearer now. Yup, there are questions over why the organizers didn't promote this tour (and in advance) as we need to reach out to fans and the public who is still new to T-ARA.
