Our Taeyang Rise Ticket Journey
You came to school, unprepared, half awake and then bam a random pop quiz. Yep, this is exactly how Taeyang Rise in Malaysia ticket launch happened.
IME released a notice stating they will be selling the tickets on 7th of December (Sunday), exactly 2 days after they announced it.
THAT’S WHY YOU ALWAYS NEED BACKUP CASH FOR KPOP PEEPO or in Malaysia because last minute notice is seriously common here. Aint playin with ya.
Well with a sudden notice came up, both my sis have to sacrificed and change our Saturday schedule to O.A.P.M.F.T.T.D (Overnight at Paradigm mall for Taeyang tickets day). *We actually had plans on Saturday but no one could buy the tickets for us T__T*
We was really afraid that we couldn’t bought nice seats for Taeyang tickets as you know Big Bang was much popular in Malaysia compared to 2ne1 *sorry* and fans are lining up on Friday already.
We arrived at Paradigm Mall about 5pm, and we are number 28! My friend Mira was number 20 who came on Friday. Hey, that wasn’t so bad We are just 8 peeps behind.
Say Hi to our friend.
Met some new VIP friends! They are Twins and tsum tsum addict as well omg ! Just like me and my sis. #somuchincommon
A & C ( not sure which is which but yea)
Paradigm mall is a great place for a camp out.
(This sounded so wrong haha)
Why?
#0 It was next to Starbucks peepo, which means free wifi
#1 The view
#2 Come on, plug socket anyone?
#3 live band for entertainment
#4 it’s a mall. You can shop and eat conveniently
#5 as for overnighters, there are 24 hour toilets to pee and bathe? ( been told that you could, but we didn't do that)
#6 4-5 security patrolling the area, head counts every hours
#7 Comfortable Seats and Couches
This is excluded lmao. There's a restaurant with outdoor seating that is closed during the night. Many tired fans actually rest on their couches.

*Something to consider, mosquitoes are everywhere. Do bring a repellent and a blanket next time if you plan to spend the night at Paradigm Mall LOL
The next day,
Finally the sun had rise, after brushing my teeth and had my breakfast, we started to see some fans coming in and people starting to pile up.
Security arranged the queue, making new lines for us to line up. At the mean time, Ticket pro and IME staff came set up the tables and pc.
Then they brought out their big mama stereo jamming taeyang songs, it totally liven up the crowd.
One by one, we went up to the stage to purchase our ticket.
We was excited and worried at the same time, because we knew they are going to reserve the front row seats for sponsors. Let's hope that we do not encounter the same issue again T__T
Our turn next, annnnnnnd jackpot we're right, our seat was reserved !!! We fought for our rights this time unlike 2ne1 where we kena cheated. But no matter what we just couldn’t get the seats we desire. There is even a ticket charge passbyer asking us to hurry up. Bummer
Our target is to get the first row of UL4/UR4, but the sponsors had taken over half of the row of UL4 and UR 4. We ended up buying UL5 *Sigh* at least we had our tickets *yippie whoo* *bitter smile*.
Oh well, this is another tough journey for us. Will I overnight of tickets again? I could not even answer that. But I hope its paradigm mall again. *TEE HEE* we shall see in the future!
That’s all for now, Thumbs up and Thank you IME and Paradigm Mall for actually consider about the fans who overnight at the mall.
Next Stop Taeyang Rise concert woohoo!
Ciao!
