History
[
edit
]
The Super Show Tour is the first Asia-wide concert tour by Super Junior since their debut in November 2005. The tour was first announced in January, four months after the release of their second studio album,
Don't Don
.
[1]
13,000 tickets for the concert in
Seoul, South Korea
were placed for auction online on January 22, 2008. As soon as the auction began at 5:00 PM, over 120,000 fans simultaneously loaded onto the site and crashed the server. As soon as the server was back in commission, all 13,000 tickets were sold out in 18 minutes.
[2]
A second ticket auction occurred on January 28 at 8:00 PM for the remaining seats and was just as successful.
[3]
Due to the success of the sales, the organizers decided to add an extra show on February 22,
[4]
and the corresponding tickets were all sold out in five minutes.
[5]
The tour reached
Bangkok, Thailand
on July 12, 2008, and
Shanghai
on November 22, 2008. A portion of the tickets for Shanghai's concert were scalped for over ¥7 thousand.
[6]
Two encore concerts were held in Seoul on the first weekend of January 2009
[7]
and two weeks later, the concert was held in
Nanjing, China
. Super Junior became the first Korean artist to hold a solo concert in Nanjing, having their tickets being scalped for ¥6 thousand. The Super Show Tour also broke the record for being the first concert ever in China to have a "standing" stage.
[8]
Super Show was also expected to tour
Hong Kong
,
Taipei
(
Taiwan
), and
Tokyo
(
Japan
), but due to schedule conflicts, the tour was unable to go to those cities.
[9]
The last stop for Super Show was in
Chengdu
(
China
)in March 2009.
The live
Super Show Tour Concert Album
was released on May 19, 2008, in
