Seoul City has announced a new measure regarding cultural events at the Seoul World Cup Stadium to protect the turf. Starting next year, the stadium will only allow bookings excluding ground seats, due to concerns about the turf condition and the shortage of large-scale performance venues. IU's large-scale concert, which is already sold out, will proceed as planned, but future bookings will likely see significant changes. This blog will explore the background of Seoul City's new policy and the response regarding IU's concert.
Seoul City's New Booking Policy and Future Prospects for IU's Concert
Following concerns about the turf condition after a World Cup qualifier match against Palestine, Seoul City has decided to ban the sale of ground seats for cultural events from next year. This means that only non-ground seats will be available for booking. This decision is aimed at protecting the turf, and considering the current shortage of large-scale performance venues in Seoul.
This new policy holds significant implications. Firstly, it is seen as a necessary measure for turf management and providing a comfortable viewing experience. Seoul Facilities Corporation and Seoul City plan to reinforce and check the turf condition before the World Cup qualifier against Iraq on October 15. The Korea Football Association (KFA) is also considering the possibility of changing the venue for the Iraq match, so there may be additional adjustments depending on the stadium's condition.
IU's concert is set to proceed as scheduled. Given that tickets have already sold out, canceling the event abruptly would cause significant inconvenience and loss. Seoul City has stated, “Approximately 100,000 tickets have been sold out,” and the event organizer is expected to actively cooperate in protecting the turf. The organizer will avoid installing temporary stages and take other measures to help maintain the turf. This is to ensure that large-scale performances can continue at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Balancing Turf Protection and Cultural Events
Seoul City's new policy appears to be a necessary measure for protecting the turf at Seoul World Cup Stadium. However, balancing this with the demand for large-scale performance venues and cultural events is crucial. While IU's concert will proceed as planned, future bookings will have to adhere to turf protection measures. Seoul City will need to continuously strive to balance turf preservation with providing an optimal experience for visitors.
3 Line Summary
Seoul City will implement a new policy starting next year, allowing only non-ground seats for events at Seoul World Cup Stadium to protect the turf. IU's concert, already fully booked, will proceed as planned with the organizer cooperating on turf protection. Balancing turf preservation and cultural events will be a key challenge moving forward.
