BESTI almost didn't see it.. I went to the ticket office that said I didn't need a seat reservation, but they said there were no assigned seats and wouldn't let me in. Is this true?? I felt like I was scammed. I barely managed to convince them at the entrance and got in, but I barely saw it from the temporary seat at the very end. They didn't recognize me even when I showed them the voucher. The QR code didn't come out even when I scanned it. Ha..; I almost threw a hundred thousand won on the ground.
