Chapter 633: Sold Out
Chapter 633: Sold Out
Saturday, March 6th.
For some people, it was just another day, but for the fans of Moonlight, it would be a battle day.
That was because a couple of days ago, news portals reported that the tickets for Moonlight's first live performance would start their sales on that Saturday.
Fans all over the country and the world felt excited and hopeful to be able to buy a ticket for themselves. Even when they heard that there would be around 20 thousand tickets for sale, it was able to dampen their excitement for it.
The most excited fans were the ones who lived in Catadrid, the city where the concert was scheduled to happen.
The ticket sale was scheduled to start at 9 AM, Catadrid Time Zone.
At a time like this on a Saturday, most high schoolers enjoyed their day off from school by sleeping until noon.
But a group of friends woke up early that Saturday and gathered together in one of their friend's house.
This group of friends lived in a suburban neighborhood of Catadrid and studied in a nearby school.
"I still can't believe Moonlight is going to perform a live concert!" One of the girls said with shining eyes and a beautiful freckled face.
"Me neither." A blonde girl said, "Just to be sure, did you girls manage to gather enough money?"
"Sol, you have asked this question a thousand times already." A black-haired girl rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"I'm just making sure." Sol, the blonde girl, defended herself.
"No need to fight." The freckled girl broke their argument, "Jade, you know how anxious Sol is." As she looked at the black-haired girl.
"And Sol, we did bring enough money. I cleaned all the money I saved from my allowance." She continued, "Plus, I think we should gather all the money in just one account. This way, we coordinate better when the sales start."
"You're right, Lily." Jade relented, "Sorry, Sol, I'm just nervous."
"Don't worry, love." Sol replied with a gentle smile.
Just like that, the three girls did their last-minute preparations before the sales started at 9 AM.
While they waited anxiously for the clock to the waited time, they listened to Moonlight's album on repeat.
The three girls first came in contact with Moonlight's work when another friend showed them the Music Video of 'Perfect'. Even though they were in their teenage years, and they hadn't lived a love like the one described in the song, their teenage hearts also longed to live such a beautiful love.
As soon as they finished watching the music video, they hurriedly looked for other words from the same artist. It was then that they found Moonlight's album and other music videos. And for the past 2 and half months, they had been listening to Moonlight's on repeat without any stopping.
Sometimes they would put on Moonlight music videos and watch it all over again.
It was fans like these that made Moonlight dominate the charts even almost 3 months after the release of his album.
Although his 10 songs didn't occupy the Top 10 in the charts anymore, the 10 songs still were in the Top 20 of the World Charts. 5 songs still made their presence in the Top 10.
'Perfect' still occupied the top of the charts and it was undefeated since it assumed the first position in the charts, 'bad guy' occupied the 3rd position in the charts, while 'Save Your Tears', 'Believer', and 'The Scientist' occupied respectively the 6th, 8th, and 10th positions. The other five songs occupied positions between 11th and 20th positions in the charts.
It was normal that Moonlight didn't manage to secure his hegemony in the Top 10, the Azure Star had amazing artists that were as amazing as the ones from Theo's past life.
For example, the artist that managed to secure the 2nd position in the charts, Trevors, had more than 90 million monthly listeners on the Track streaming service, he had numerous hits and was famous worldwide.
Theo knew how talented these people could be, so he was already impressed that he could retain the 1st position in the charts for so long. But he predicted that sooner or later Trevors or another artist would take the position from him.
It was impossible to dominate the charts forever.
Theo was already more than happy with what he achieved so far.
This was only Moonlight's numbers in the Track Platform, the four music videos that it was posted in Ruby long passed the number a billion views. In other words, each music video that Moonlight posted received more than a billion views in less than 3 months since its release.
All in all, Theo's venture had been a complete success as he achieved amazing results and gathered fans all over the world.
Sol, Jade, and Lily each sat in front of their laptops as they pressed the F5 button to renew the website where the ticket sale would happen.
They knew for sure that tens of thousands all over the world were doing the same thing as them at that exact moment, so they didn't bother talking to each other as they focused on the task in their hands.
The moment that would decide if they would be able to see Moonlight with their own eyes arrived when the clock hit 9 AM.
It seemed as if time had been paused for a millisecond for the people who started at the website all over the world.
Without any delay, the tickets were placed for sale as soon as the clock hit 9 AM.
At that moment, three girls pressed F5 and waited hopefully to manage to get in.
A few seconds later, Sol and Jade exclaimed.
"Damn it!" Jade said in a bad mood, "Mine says that I'm in queue and that I have to wait for my turn."
"Mine says the same." Sol said with a sad expression.
It seemed like the girls wouldn't be able to see their favorite singer, it was then that the two girls finally looked at Lily who looked at the screen in front of her with shining eyes and a
large smile.
"Don't tell me." Jade said with large eyes."
"HURRY, Lily." Sol hurriedly said, "Here's the credit card, buy the tickets before they are sold
out!"
Lily nodded as she proceeded to input the credit card details to finalize the purchase of three
tickets.
A few minutes later, the three girls looked at the purchase confirmation page with shining
eyes.
A second later, the girls started jumping around and screaming in happiness.
"We are going to watch Moonlight live!"
"I'M SO HAPPY!"
"I love you, Lily!"

Just like that, some people were on cloud nine as they managed to buy tickets, but the
majority of the people weren't as lucky.
10 minutes after the start of the sales, the tickets for Moonlight's first live concert were sold
out!
