Jolin Tsai's Taipei Dome concerts sell out instantly

Taipei, Nov. 24 (CNA) The three upcoming concerts in Taipei by Taiwanese pop diva Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) are all sold out, with the tickets snapped up shortly after they went on sale at noon Sunday, according to her talent agency.

Some 940,000 fans were vying for a total of 120,000 tickets for the three concerts at Taipei Dome on Dec. 30, 31, and Jan. 1, Eternal Music Production Co., Ltd. said in a statement Sunday.

Many fans who did not manage to get tickets have been asking for extra shows, the company said, adding that it was grateful for the support but had no immediate plans to organize additional concerts in Taipei for Tsai.

"We will strive to fully prepare and perfect all aspects of the production for these three performances," so that they best meet everyone's expectations, the company said.

The three Taipei concerts are part of Tsai's "Jolin Pleasure" world tour, which debuts with her first ever performance at Taipei Dome on Dec. 30.

In a recent press interview, Tsai said she drew inspiration for her concerts from the famous triptych oil painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch.

"The painting was like a god's-eye view of different people's lives, inviting my instinct to peek in and to look closely at every corner and all its details," she said, adding that it also coincided with the theme of her new album "Pleasure."
