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 ? | ||

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 -___- dude SKT1 is numba wan! | ||

Has anyone found a trustworthy source for this info ? 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. | ||

Basically you just buy a ticket to the tower grounds and you go stand around the screen when the game starts. | ||

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. | ||
