In Korea, securing tickets for popular K-pop concerts often extends beyond the initial sale, with many fans actively seeking "cancellation tickets" (취켓팅). This practice involves monitoring ticketing platforms for seats that become available again due to previous buyers canceling their reservations or failing to complete payment. The high demand for artists like Lee Hi and Lee Chan-won drives fans to meticulously track when these coveted tickets might reappear.
For the 2026 Lee Hi solo concert, tickets are exclusively sold on NOL Ticket. Bloggers note that cancellation tickets are not released at a single, specific time but rather become available in real-time as existing reservations are canceled. Even after an initial sell-out on August 20, remaining seats were observed on September 27. In contrast, for Lee Chan-won's concert on Interpark, a significant number of cancellation tickets, particularly those from unpaid reservations, are typically released between 00:10 and 00:30 AM the day after the payment deadline. Individual cancellations, however, can occur at any time.
Local bloggers offer practical advice for successful cancellation ticketing. They emphasize the importance of continuously checking the official ticketing site, especially for events with real-time re-releases. For platforms like Interpark, it is recommended to use the in-page refresh icon rather than repeatedly pressing the F5 key, as this is more efficient for server response. Additionally, using a PC with a stable wired internet connection, such as at a PC bang, is often suggested over mobile apps to minimize connection issues and improve success rates.
