craZy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Where did you hear this? A notification should've been sent out. Is there any sort of statement from CCM or article on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlock Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Three posts, incomplete profile and no source provided. Yep, this thread has a lot of credibility right about now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suna Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I can't find anything by googling and searching various kpop sites, so for now I'll say this is just an unbased rumor. =\ It would make sense for this person to have three posts and an incomplete profile if they heard this news and came here just to ask for more information. Which they were indeed asking, not announcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craZy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 ^ ^ Lol. I recall ICONICQ mentioning before their father's company is sponsoring the event, why this thread picked up my interest when I saw whom the user who started it was.

Grimlock Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Sucks if it's true. I think a similar situation happened to BEG, if I remember correctly it was Jea who didn't make it and they just went ahead with three members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suna Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Woah. I was on the forum today to find more information about the concert, because I was going to dip into my savings and splurge on getting there (from nyc which is not inexpensive) I saw this thread and held off, but I can't believe this. I don't blame T-ara, I blame CCM for having their attention split so many ways that they didn't catch this sooner. I feel horrible for all of the fans who prepared and those who actually bought expensive travel tickets and booked plans. For them to cancel on such short notice is a big blow to their fanbase. For shame, CCM, for shame. =\ And thank you, ICONICQ, without your pre-emptive information I would be among those unfortunate, enraged, fans.

Toan Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I swear to God, whoever are running CCM (beside KKS) should get fired. For a big company, their lack of reasonable updates on their activities is unacceptable. I'm sorry but even if many hates SMent, I still think they're a much better and organized company compare to this. So disappointed. Personally, I can't wait until the day T-Ara switched to another agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhpham Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It's true. April 22nd is the date of concert now. I just called them. If anyone wants to buy my ticket private message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman86 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 ticketmaster has no record of this cancellation. THEY would be the first to know and would let us know of a cancellation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through Alaska Airlines and I had to pay $75 to cancel my flight and then $25 to rebook for the postponed concert. Your airline should hopefully be able to do something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlock Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry OP, guess I shouldn't have put you out like that. At least in my head the concert was still happening, otherwise I would've been flipping xxxx at work lol. Anyone know why exactly they canceled? There's a number of reasons floating around; visa issues, injuries, poor ticket sales and this 10 day vacation they've conjured up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toan Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 ^ CCM only told the concert people that it was due to injury. Whether it's the real reason or not, we will never know lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airlines are always able to make cancellation and changes, so check with them. You'll still of course recieve the support bundle. I believe they've already been prepared.

Emperor Ryu Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I just read this not too long ago. Even though I am not able to attend the concert in San Francisco, I find it rather perplexing that this visa issue wasn't taken care of last year, when they announced the concert to the public, in the first place. I know that our girls have been going back and forth in their traveling around East Asia lately, but still, I can't help to wonder what happened to make this sudden change within a couple of days before the concert date. I hope our girls are alright and well. At least, the concert is still a go in the U.S., so it's not a lost, just the amount of time in our lives. I hope everybody has a memorable and fun time with our girls and their close friends at the concert in April, in California. I look forward to seeing those uploaded videos online.

MaknaeRxD Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's very hard to get into the US, even with a visa. Since they are coming to hold a concert, a lot of regulations must be met. If it IS postponed until April then that's good - why? It gives us Diadems more time to plan out what is going to be done AND more fans would be able to go to San Franciso. (Specifically the students, March/April = Spring Break!) Though CCM is keeping the girls busy...must be an insane asylum over there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICONICQ Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can't believe that there weren't any news article in Korean media.. I bet CCM paid off a lot of journalists for this issue to not go public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Specifically the students, March/April = Spring Break!)Though CCM is keeping the girls busy...must be an insane asylum over there! The only way it becomes really difficult to get bona fide visas and permits, is when something and/or someone screws up during registration. I recently talked to a fellow Diadem about this, and covered a wide range of possibilities, from North Korean Spy infiltrations, to website registering that got hacked and/or network failure, to problems with concert organizers in the U.S. But they're all only speculations and we won't know for sure, unless they tell us otherwise that it is not a vias issuing problem. If it truly is a visa issuing problem, someone or something at the U.S. Embassy is having problems. As for Spring Break, that happens on the last week of March. I'm hearing rumors about the concert date being on the 22nd of April. But we shall see if they can move it up to sometime during Spring Break. I hope lots of people show up to the concert. Core Family Concert in the U.S.! I'm starting to get the notion that Mnet America Channel will be covering this event. The question is, . . . "Is it going to be a live coverage?" Oh, I agree on the sentiment on our girls' scheduling. It must be very busy for them right now. At least they are doing very well in Japan.

t-araGO Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I honestly hope it won't be during spring break haha. Hopefully it will be sooner but not in conflict with any other stuff (school ugh) I wish them the best and to be well rested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
