Chapter 350
I was a bit taken aback by the sudden numbers before my eyes.
Did I really just hit the button? Can a wait number even go beyond four digits?
“Is this for real?”
– What the hell;;
– Wow, hahaha
– 1500 people, what’s that about?
– I’m in the 3000s, I’m screwed;;
“Why are there so many people?”
I felt a little dizzy at the unexpectedly high numbers.
But….
“Does that mean it’s sold out?”
Relief and joy washed over me.
…I knew it all along.
My viewers really came through.
– Of course, why ask that?
– I don’t think it’s happening, I’m feeling down about it…
– I got kicked out by the security code, damn it.
Some people seemed angry, but whatever.
I wasn’t too concerned, so I waited for my turn with a relaxed mindset.
“Isn’t being 1500th in line basically a no-show?”
I might be a bit ahead of others, but I still felt far removed.
– Nah, it’s manageable.
– Totally chill.
– I can’t tell because there are so few seats.
– I’ll take the back seats.
…Really? Is that even possible?
Well, that would be fine by me.
As I waited, a small note under my waiting window caught my eye.
[Number of people waiting behind me: 3,512]
“Wow… there’re that many behind me too?”
– Haha, lol
– Miro is definitely a top-tier one, huh;
– Why are there so many?
“But aren’t they slower than I am?”
– No urgency at all, lmao.
– Damn;;;
– Ugh
– I’m in the 500s, haha.
“Everyone should try hard. Oh, there are lots of freebies, so bring a bag when you come.”
– Damn, you should’ve told us that sooner.
– Why is this person so relaxed??
– What freebies do we get?? Damn;;
Relaxed… yeah, I guess I’m relaxed now.
Who am I? A sold-out solo concert virtual YouTuber.
Of course, it’s not confirmed yet, but with this many people, it surely should sell out.
“Freebies, huh… just come and find out.”
– You need a ticket to go, damn it;
– Can’t I watch the concert online?
“You can watch online. I announced it.”
– Oh, I see.
– Then why the hell go to the concert??
– Score, haha.
– I’ll just mooch.
“Hey, mooching? Solo concerts are obviously more precious.”
There are things in this world that cannot be captured through video.
And concerts belong in that category.
Haven’t I experienced concerts already?
I stood on stage and felt the energy and gaze firsthand.
The people watching the concert from below radiated energy that couldn’t possibly be replicated through a screen.
“Later, you’ll all be jealous, you know? Huh? That I was at Miro’s first solo concert.”
– Haha, lol
– It’s a bit crazy, for real…
– Is there going to be another concert?
“Another one? Hmm… Nothing planned yet.”
But if this one goes well, won’t there be another?
Next time, I’ll be more skilled and probably manage the concert more smoothly.
It’s always the first time that’s the hardest.
Right now, I’m just experiencing everything for the first time, just going through trial and error.
“Oh, it’s almost time.”
While chatting, time gradually ticked closer, and the line of 1500 people in front of me started to clear.
Now, there should only be corner seats left, right?
Feeling a bit disappointed that I couldn’t act faster, I entered the security code….
“Oh?”
– What?
– Whoa
– There are surprisingly seats left.
To my surprise, quite a few spots were still available.
I hurriedly clicked on what seemed like a decent middle seat, but….
[This seat has already completed payment.]
Looks like I was a bit late, as someone snatched it up quickly.
In a rush, I clicked the one next to it, but it was the same story.
[This seat has already completed payment.]
[This seat has already completed payment.]
The one next door… the one in front of me….
“Ugh.”
– Hahaha
– Why are people so quick to grab them?
– Come on, leave some for me!
“Here… oh, got it.”
After some futile clicks, I finally managed to secure a seat.
– Haha.
– But I did get one, at least.
– Damn it, I also got a seat.
“Did you see my incredible skills? So, I can cancel this….”
Since it was just for fun, I was about to cancel it.
“Do I really have to cancel?”
Suddenly, after all the trouble, I wondered if I really should cancel.
– ???
– Dude, get out of here!
– I’m still waiting here!
“Shall I give one of the seats away in an event?”
Of course, I wasn’t going to take this seat for myself.
Thinking about it, this concert is hosted by The Six, after all.
If I say something, transferring it might be possible.
So while contemplating doing a lottery or something to give it to someone else…
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
30 for three.
I received a donation that clearly showed a willingness to buy.
– Whoa
– 30 is a steal, huh? Haha.
– Was Miro a reseller??
“Excuse me? I’m not selling; it’s an event….”
[Thief Miro, thank you for the 50,000 won donation!]
50 for three, please, I’m in the 4000s!
“50, you say?”
Hmm… thinking about it, isn’t that amount more urgent than just applying for the lottery?
If a person is that desperate, I feel like giving it to them.
– Whoa, whoa, whoa.
– Hahaha
– Look at how eager this person is!
“No, no, you seem desperate, don’t you? Huh? Did I say I’d sell first?”
[Yeah, thank you for the 1,000 won donation!]
Crazy money-wasting;; if that’s the case, do some horror games!
– For real, hahaha
– Damn, horror games, please.
– Is this lady insane?
Honestly, I sometimes think back to that million won.
But whelp, it’s just something that happened.
“Alright, 50! Anything more?”
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
100 now.
As I jokingly asked if there were more, suddenly the auction price doubled.
“100? Seriously? Would people pay that much for a concert? This is crazy.”
– Looks like that seat is more meaningful since you’re giving it yourself.
– That’s an event seat, haha.
– Memorize that number; it’s a sucker seat.
– Whoa.
Oh, I never thought of it that way.
A ticket to my favorite’s first concert, given directly by my favorite.
…Hearing it that way makes me want to bite, too?
[Thief Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
120, please, give me a chance.
While I was thinking this, the amount climbed again.
…Well, isn’t 120 a bit much?
Looking at the nickname, they seemed like an unofficial vice-president.
This person had donated a lot since the early days of my broadcasts, changing names here and there, but now they were going head-to-head with the president.
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
150, darn it.
– Hahaha
– Looks like the president is pretty cool.
– Damn, 150 for real!
I was genuinely shocked by the 150.
Honestly, as it’s my concert, can anyone really justify that value for just one viewing? I wouldn’t nod if someone asked me.
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
160, you jerk.
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
170, screw you.
However, it seemed like the two had different thoughts, as the competition heated up and the prices started climbing.
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
180, damn; is there an endless supply of money?
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
190, yay.
– Whoa, whoa, whoa.
– These guys are crazy.
– These guys are serious, haha.
…Goodness.
Both of them were familiar faces among my viewers.
They’ve been around since the audition broadcast three years ago before my debut, right?
I thought they just liked to complain, but it seems they were that dedicated, burning money like this.
“Alright, stop. I’ve got it.”
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
No, no, no, no, 200! I must get it for sure, make it more expensive than that jerk’s!
– Hahaha.
– Stupid, just worry about whether you got the ticket instead!
– With that money, you could have bought a macro instead.
As I wrapped things up, the vice-president sent a desperate donation.
Yeah, I get it.
“Whoa, there’s no need to go as high as 200, so I’ll cancel this ticket.”
However, the competition had gotten so heated that I did cancel it.
That seat had turned into too much of a hot ticket.
So, might as well throw it away.
[Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
Ah! Damn it;;;
– Hahaha.
– Wow, I almost hit the jackpot; these crazy guys;;
– But I do feel a little bad, haha.
– They should battle it out honestly through ticketing!
“You two can have the VIP seats. They’re given out anyway.”
But I couldn’t just leave them hanging.
Coincidentally, there were two vacant seats in the VIP section. I’d give them those.
Anyway, I received a pretty good amount.
But I don’t have that many friends, right?
The members can’t even come, and even Tenshi is a bit uncertain.
So, I planned to give the remaining seats to passionate viewers through a lottery.
– ????
– ?? Why, damn it!
– Damn;; I’m so envious;
– Wow, VIP seats, haha.
– A big Miro, this is wild;;
“Alright you two, please write a private post in the fan café.”
[Miro, thank you for the 100,000 won donation!]
Sick, haha!
[Thief Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
Thank you, damn it!
Anyway, I ended the ticketing session by giving the VIP seats to the two who were ready to drop over 200 for the virtual YouTuber concert.
**
After finishing ticketing, I took a moment to relax.
“Ha.”
I turned off the mic for a moment, leaned back in my chair, and stretched.
Even during all this, the chatroom was still heated.
– Damn, for real.
– Is it good that I got seat 2? T_T
– Sigh… when will canceled tickets be available?
– Are there any suckers out there who couldn’t snag one??
…It just shows how intense the ticketing had become.
Watching the joyful faces of those who succeeded and the sorrowful ones who didn’t, it indeed felt like seats were too scarce.
But what can we do?
Both The Six and I were inexperienced, so it was only natural we’d be focusing on safety.
I swallowed down some disappointment and prepared to talk again, but at that moment—
Beeeeeeeeep.
My phone suddenly buzzed.
[Manager]
Checking the caller, it was the manager.
I expected a call, but it came quite quickly.
“Ah, hello?”
I accepted the call right away as I knew what they’d say.
[Ah, Miro, as you mentioned on the broadcast….]
From the other side of the phone came a calm voice.
However, this is someone I’ve worked with for three years.
I could clearly see the excitement behind their carefully controlled voice.
“Yes, I know. It’s sold out, right?”
[That’s right. It’s sold out…!]
I nodded, despite already knowing.
With the concert just about a month away.
Tickets are sold out, now I just need to think about the concert itself.
