Although it houses many seats, the view can be rather bad. Thanks to the infamously poor views in the venue, the tiered pricing had netizens in shock.

• ₩120,000 KRW (about $86.80 USD) for seats at the top of Gocheok?
• Are they crazy? Nosebleeds for ₩120,000 KRW (about $86.80 USD)?
• It’s not even a solo concert, but a company concert. It’s too expensive for that…
• Is everyone insane?
• At those prices, it must be all-live bands right?
• Treating fans for fools LOL.
• Who would pay ₩120,000 KRW (about $86.80 USD) for nosebleeds…
• It’s a joint concert, not a solo one, and people think ₩190,000 KRW (about $137 USD) and ₩120,000 KRW (about $86.80 USD) for nosebleeds is an alright price?

VIP seats are going for ₩198,000 KRW (about $143 USD), while RS seats are going for ₩176,000 KRW (about $127 USD). R seats are priced at ₩154,000 KRW (about $111 USD), the same price floor seats with restricted views are going at. S seats are ₩132,000 KRW (about $95.50 USD), and seats on the 4th floor, A seats, ₩121,000 KRW (about $87.50 USD).

Here’s the view from the 4th floor.
