That sounds very strange. When they said Shanghai pearl tower, I asssume it was outdoors just next to the Tower which is a very popular place for big concerts. (there was the Live Earth concert in 2007, and some others).
See by yourself on the video, that's where a lot of big concerts take place in Shanghai, and it's just below the Pearl Tower. It will also be dark already when the OSL will start, so it's gonna look great with all the lighted up skyscrapers. Only the really huge concerts that need 70k seats take place in Shanghai stadium.
edit : we see very well on this video as well
Moving the OSL finals for 1000 people doesn't make any sense. Has anyone found a trustworthy source for this info ?

So yeah, all signs so far points to this being totally retarded. Fucking Chinese people -___-
Edit: Basically the reason people are speculating is that OGN really wanted it at the Oriental Pearl + World Expo, good for advertisement, but the World Expo management is strict as hell and it's impossible to get any kind of sizable event going there unless you're directly related to the government =\
Edit2: Also concerns involve 9/11 date + planes being involved. I blame SKT1 for this, if they weren't such pussies about the group selection we wouldn't have had this on 9/11 -___-

That's about where they're holding it, but for "security reasons," they're only allocating 300 seats + 200 reserved seats of official tickets with ~1000 standing room around on the steps just for people at the expo if nothing happens. Security or management or whatever reserve the right at any time to dissipate people.
SiTV/PLU stresses that it's at OGN/Korean Air's insistence that this is where it will be held lol. Apparently they proposed many much bigger venues and were all shot down. They really wanted Oriental Pearl I guess.

What do you mean by "with ~1000 standing room around on the steps just for people at the expo if nothing happens" ? The expo site is 4 kilometers from the Pearl tower.

Err I meant to have the tower, sorry about tha. Dunno why I thought expo, probably cause of the recent STX event. Basically you just buy a ticket to the tower grounds and you go stand around the screen when the game starts.

Okay, thanks for the clarification !
It sucks though. You have to pay tickets but you can't even book them if they are just the regular tickets to the tower
The only good thing is that if there are only ~1000 people watching, I'll have more chance to sneak up to the players.
I'm trying to get a seat to this event through my school's Korean Student Union. Just knew about it yesterday(since I was in Japan for the last 2 weeks). This will be huge!! And for people that worry about the number of spectators. Dont!. There are hundreds of thousand of Korean here in Shanghai. In my college alone there are about 1000 Korean students!!!!
Um, everything I've read so far points to 300 tickets for seats, and some standing room, which can't be more than like 1000.
