The last official offline activity SNSD had was their 10th anniversary fan meeting in 2017.
Due to SM's error in judgment or renting failure, SNSD's 10th anniversary fan meeting was held at the Olympic Hall.
Even before the ticketing, it is one of the biggest failures among SNSD's fandom before and after the fan meeting.
Online reservation ended in no time and the number of fans who couldn't get a ticket was more than those who did. SNSD's fandom became a mess..you can't even say you went to the fan meeting now even as a joke..
People lined up 2~3 days before the summer fan meeting to get on site tickets. Hundreds of people stayed up all night to get on site tickets.
But according to several fan accounts, not much tickets were released at the booth and the hundreds of people that were waiting cried a sea of tears and wept.
Entertainment Weekly interviewed the people waiting back then and the average number was 39x..
The fans who couldn't go ended up crying outside the Olympic Hall.
And then 5 years later.
SNSD are having their 15th anniversary fan meeting.
This time its at a place that is said to be the "dream hall of female idols"
it will be held at KSPO (formerly Gymnastics Stadium) and only 7 girl groups held concerts there. SNSD is the first girl group to hold a fan meeting.
Fans thought this is SM's way of burring the scars of the previous fan meeting but
Ground floor, 2nd and 3rd floors went out in pre-sale.
And all the seats till the 3rd floor are sold out in regular ticketing.
They have released a few hundred seats at the backside of the 3rd row since then but even these are sold out.
Regular ticketing is done through card payment so its hard to find cancelled tickets unless they're released. And even the cancelled tickets every once in a while are also sold out in a flash.
And there is still a lot of fans that couldn't get tickets..
(We don't know exactly how many seats are there because they opened the seats 2~3 times after the pre-sale and regular ticketing.)
There are even requests to release seats with limited view or sell standing seats at the booth so everyone can go.

(T/N: i only translated the part that mentions YoonA and only the comments that mention her/SNSD so the ranking of the comments is a bit different from the original.)
I watch TV with my parents a lot. These are the female idols they find pretty.
YoonA.
You just can't beat YoonA.
(The rest are Miyeon, An Yujin, Choi Yujin and Suzy.)
