Season of GFriend is GFriend's first concert, which was held in Seoul, South Korea. The concert is on January 6, 2018 and lasts 2 days.
Background[]
On November 27, 2017, Source Music announced on that GFriend will be having their first concert called Season of GFriend at Olympic Hall in early 2018.
Official fan club members have a chance to buy the tickets through Melon Ticket on December 6th before the general admission on December 8th. At the start of the ticket sales, all 6,000 seats were sold out in 3 minutes. Source Music, GFriend's company, thanked the fans and "want to return the favor with a high-quality concert". [1]
On December 28th, Source Music released the official goods for the upcoming concert [2] but this announcement received backlash and criticism from fans for including a body pillow as a good with each GFriend member in it. Those body pillows are even compared to Dakimakura, a type of large pillow in Japan where usually an anime character is imprinted in it.
On December 30th, Source Music released a statement indicating to remove the body pillows and not to produce or sell them. [3][4]
The sale of official goods started on the date of concert, for 2 days, at 11:00 AM KST until it sold out.

The concert was divided in 5 seasons (sections): Glass, Flower, Awake, Parallel and Solo and will lasts for 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes) in total. [5]
