Male 18-30 is pretty much the majority of K-ON's fans anyway. Not surprised at all.

More seriously, I thought the only appeal to K-On! was the quasi-pedophilic one derived from the hyper-cute antics of the underage moe-blob main characters.

Sigh... You know, as an adult male and a big fan of K-On! I am getting pretty damn sick of jerks like you indicating I am some kind of freak, or a maybe-pedophile for enjoying a charming, innocent anime. Why don't you just grow the hell up and realize that it's entirely possible to have different tastes than your own without having some disturbing sexual deviancy?

Why haven't these 'jerks' been banned for trolling? That's my question. I'm guessing mods like being part of the problem, it seems.

Mods can't be everywhere all the time. They have also implied that many of them would busy watching the new fall season.

But in the end, it's his money, so even if he did buy the tickets for himself, at least he is supporting the anime industry, in some way.
Read the headline. You might want to think about that a while. Wink On the topic of the people who would go to a Live acted concert of K-on; It would be no different than people going to a "live" concert of Hatsune Miku. It's just pop idol worship in one form, or another, and people have been scamming the naive and gullible since before our species left the Horn of Africa, no change there.

Well, except the K-On shows actually have music performed live.
