--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A year ago, on February 27, 2016, I went to EXO’s Concert called
“The EXO’Luxion in Jakarta” located in ICE BSD Tangerang. I went to the concert
with my friends, they are Meta, Epin and
Giyan. We went to ICE BSD by bus and also rented the bus for EXO’fans from
Semarang who want to watch EXO’s concert in Tangerang. We begin our trip on
February 26, 2016 and left Semarang city at 3 pm.
During the trip, we sang a long on the bus. One of EXO’fans on
the bus was so excited. She always making a noise and making others laugh. On
our way, we also stopped at rest area for dinner and took time to sholat for
moeslim.
After 9 hours drive, we arrived at the Inn at 12 o'clock at night. Actually,
we supposed to arrive at the Inn around 5 am, but we had arrived before that.
So, we could rest long enough and went to ICE BSD more early.
In the morning, we woke up at 03:30 am and we had to get ready and
have breakfast because at 5 am we had to leave the inn and went to ICE BSD. The
way to the ICE BSD is quite far. It takes 1 hour more to get there.
At 7 am, we are finally arrived at ICE BSD, all of us on the bus was
very excited just looking at the building. Some of us took a picture of the
building because we still do not believe that we will be watching the concert
and meet with EXO.
After arrived in the parking area, we got off the bus and took a
pictures together in front of the building then we were separated each other.
My Friends -Meta, Epin, Giyan- and I decided to go to in front of hall 5.
When we walked toward to in front of hall 5, there are a lot of EXO’s banners
along the sidewalk. So, we decided to took a pictures again in front of the
banner. There are also a lot of fans support for the concert later and some
people who sell goodies about EXO.
Actually, when I was in front of hall 5, there are not many people
coming. Just a few people walk around in front of hall 5. So, we decided to go
to the toilet first. After we back from the toilet, we waited for a friend of
my friend who bought the tickets for us. Actually a friend of my friend did not
bought the tickets for us by using her money, but we just ask for help to get
the original tickets because we bught it via online. While waiting for the
tickets to come, we sit down somewhere and people began to arrive. In hall 5
has been filled with people queuing to buy tickets and exchange to the original
ticket. There are also some fans from Korea who came to watch the EXO's concert
in Indonesia. Some that I saw looks so confused because the ticket exchange
system and a queuing number system to get into the final gate that where the
fans can get into the concert venue. Not only that, when waiting, suddenly
heard the shouts from some fans who said that EXO passing to first gate. Suddenly
all the fans who are in front of hall 5 running to first gate to see EXO. But
unfortunately they are not EXO, they only staff who handle the concert event.
About 30 minutes we waited for the tickets, finally we can hold the
ticket and we immediately lined up in a queue to enter the first gate. We lined
up to wait in line for 25 minutes. After arriving at the first gate, our bags
in check by the staff whether we carry sharp objects or camera into the concert
venue and after that we were headed to body checking. The body checking was
very rude, because they check up to the part that should not have them
to check. Because it is impossible to hide sharp objects or camera into that
part.
After body checking, we headed to a place for show our tickets based
on the category. Then we should make a line again to get the queuing number
inside of hall 8. My queuing number is 1035 than 2000. At that time I was a
little worried because I was afraid if I was in the last row. But whatever it
was I had to accept it because I already bought the tickets. After I got my queuing
number, I had to line up again to enter into the hall 7. The queue was not too
long and directly moving on to hall 7. When in hall 7, fans were asked to sit
and wait. While waiting, fans can hear EXO are doing rehearsal and fans also
sing along.
After EXO finished rehearsal, the fans were asked to stand and the
staff started to sort the numbers according to queue number and tickets
categories. It takes about 30 minutes to sort all of queue number of 8 types
tickets categories. After the staff finished sorting the queue number accordance
with tickets categories, one by one from each tickets categories can get into a
concert venue in hall 5 and 6.
Finally, I've entered the concert venue, and I was very lucky,
because even though my queue number is 1035 than 2000, but I could be in front
of the stage. I was in the fourth row from the front. After all fans get into
the concert hall, we had to wait another hour before the show. While waiting,
we were presented with some EXO song that played at the concert venue and all
the fans singing along. and we also given a hand banner that written “We should
meet again (written in hangeul)” and in the back side was written “Terima kasih
EXO”.
While waiting for an hour we also jostling, there are even some people
who are very disturbing. People who were in front of me yelling at me because I
pushed her. Actually, I do not intend to push her. I am also encouraged by the
thousands people behind me. There is also a fan who tried to cheat in order to
stand in the front row.
So, after an hour of waiting finally it's Show Time. The lighting
began in dim and the VCR start to appear, as a sign of a concert has been
started and then all the fans started to turn on their lightstick. All the fans
screaming and pushing each other when the VCR aired and started uncontrollably
when EXO appears. During the concert, I was tossed around by the sea of people.
I even pushed in second row from the front. Until I tried to stand where I
stood at that moment and try to enjoy the concert. During the concert, I also
record and some of the EXO’s members standing in front of me. They are very
close to me and I tried to call their names. An hours passed and remaining 3
last song before the concert was over. During the song 'Sing For You' all the
fans raised a hand banner that given when the concert has not started. We
raised the hand banner forward that written “ We should meet again” and we sang
along together during that song. The last song we also raised the hand banner
that written “Terimakasih EXO”. All the members noticed that fan project and
one of the member took the hand banner and said that they will surely come
again. What did he said makes the fans scream and then they were greeting the
fans and went to the back stage.
Finally the concert was officially ended, before we go out the concert
venue, we decided took a pictures inside
of the concert venue and we leave the concert venue. After we left, we decided to buy a drink, because during the concert we feel thirsty bsince having to jostle with
many people. After bought a drink we should go back on the bus because we had
to go home.
