The atmosphere that I can feel was all the fans and spectator so desperate walking around and waiting for the entrance to open, I have the same feeling too.  ; )  

After I managed to get into the stadium, I realised that my 5ooowon ticket was really far from the stage. Haha however, reasonable since it was the cheapest ticket that I managed get it on G-market.  

Wait for half an hour finally it started but too far from the stage, cant really see the performer at all but I can heard it very clear what the speakers talking about and the sound effect is perfect awesome!!

Ha! this was the more closer stage view from my seat with the camera. Acceptable quality. Few more minute the concert start.
