The Chinese government performance permit was signed and issued on
October 28th, 2009, while SM started selling the tickets for the
performance in September after the provisional disposition was filed,
which means they started selling the tickets before obtaining the
Chinese government permit.
In the following picture are two permit. The first one is obtained
on October 28th for the Shenzhen concert, it was then updated on
November 3rd. The second half is the permit for the Bejing concert. For
both, the dates the permits were attained have been underlined.
So basically, SM began selling the tickets before they were certain
whether the concert will happen or not. Even though SM specifically
said they knew about all the stops in
June 2008 for the tour, there’s no way they could have been certain of this particular concert until October 28th of this year.
