With 21 shows in Asia, 2 in Europe, and 6 in North America on the itinerary, IU’s tour promises an unforgettable experience for her global audience. However, the perennial issue of scalping threatens to mar the excitement by exploiting fans with exorbitant ticket prices.
In response to this challenge, IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, took decisive action to combat fraudulent ticket transactions.

Additionally, EDAM permanently expelled five users from IU’s official fan club and canceled tickets for 29 regular ticket holders who exhibited abnormal transaction patterns.

In their statement, EDAM Entertainment also emphasized their thorough investigation process, offering buyers an opportunity to provide explanations for suspicious transactions. For cases where explanations were insufficient, alternative arrangements for ticket acquisition, such as on-site ticket collection and admission after identity verification, were facilitated.
