Here in Italy, you can go see a band in a 'normal' venue, and pay like 20€, and then the same band plays in a theater and the price is something like 60-70€... This happened with Damien in 2007 too, he played in a theater and tickets were 50€ at least...
Now, considering it's his first gig in Korea (right?), it's only one date and it's in an amazing (and expensive) venue, I'd say it's 'normal' that tix are expensive... Well, not 143 dollars but I'd easily pay 90-100 dollars for a good seat... The thing is, which percentage of that money goes to Hyundai? And why is Hyundai involved in the first place? Are they sponsoring the event? (And if they are, shouldn't tickets be cheaper, because a part of the theater rent is covered, etc.?)

Anyway, Mango, did you buy your ticket?
Still, it doesn't seem like he's bringing loads of gear and a full band or anything, can't be THAT expensive to travel to Korea?
