[woeful raptor]

Pretty sure they watched Snowdrop (they're not big on kpop) which is why she only knew Jisoo lol

[gray summit]

[woeful raptor]

My cousin (her mom) said dont tell her you're meeting Jisoo or she'll get mad LOL

[gray summit]

[woeful raptor]

Ya it's just me and the girls who are into kpop

[hollow copper]

https://tenor.com/view/jenniekim-hello-hi-smile-cute-gif-19318082

[exotic garden]

had a friend with 2 VIP1 that can't make it to the show... anyone interested, dm me and I'll let her know

[strange granite]

Hey vips2 folks, when you guys planning to go for line

I’m about to sleep now lol

[inland pawn]

Don't know what time would be best to go. VIP2 but idk if I also wanna be waiting in line for the entire day. Maybe around noon? I don't know how long lines are gonna be to check in then buy merch 😭

[lapis pendant]

Did they have the photocards for sale yet for Houston?

[slow mirage]

y’all see blackpinks IG story just now regarding the tragic situation in seoul

[latent burrow]

Does anyone know if that effects the 30th show tonight?

[slow mirage]

that’s what im wondering

[latent burrow]

Bro I have tickets to that😭

Damn it YG for their zero explanation

[slow mirage]

“This is YG Entertainment.
We have decided to temporarily postpone the promotion schedule and content release dates for our artists. We will further make a notice on the detailed schedules.
YG Entertainment would also like to send our deepest condolences to the victims, families, and those affected by this tragic incident.”

^ this is exactly what they said for those who don’t know what im talking about

that doesn’t mean they’re postponing BP tour right ? just the promotions and content releases of future projects ??

[shut orbit]

I doubt it would affect the concert, they'll probably just not post things or promote stuff for the time being in respect for the tragic situation

[slow mirage]

i see

so crazy what happened over there in seoul

[shut orbit]

Ikr

[latent burrow]

So not a whole lot cause most YG artists aren't promoting or close to promoting rn

[shut orbit]

Unfathomable

[slow mirage]

about 151 people confirmed now

[latent burrow]

Yea that's insane

[shut orbit]

savage yet true matcha

Honestly though if you want sleep and not be exhausted I would come maybe around 10-11

[slow mirage]

you vip for today ?

[onyx grail]

That’s what I said but there’s a chance they might delay after the Houston show tonight (I’m going to the Atlanta one)

You would expect them to post a post explaining what is gonna go on with yours

*tours

As of now since there is no news, I’m gonna go with “if there’s no news it’s still happening”

[slow mirage]

true im going tonight, and they didn’t make it plain obvious what they’re doing with the tour so that must mean it’s still going on as of rn

[onyx grail]

Yeah, I really hope they don’t cancel my shows 😭😭 but there’s also a high chance they might cancel the shows and delay them 😦

I keep checking BP instagram to see any update

I mean this is everything YG has going on rn:

Treasure- new album 11/4/22

Treasure tour Seoul- 11/12/22

Blackpink your

[slow mirage]

exactly

and YG’s keywords in that post were “postponing promotion schedule and content releases”

which doesn’t really sound like the BP tour to me

[onyx grail]

Yeah that’s what I said but at the same time “promotion schedule “ they are touring in the US and will probably go on shows to promote. Also just being in the US promotes it. So it’s possible they might still tour but not do any tv shows but idk

[hollow garden]

Guys my ticket is not in the axs app anymore! Has this happened to anyone ?

[onyx grail]

I just wish they would have put out a specific post ab the tour. Like they should know people are gonna want to know

[slow mirage]

i still got mine , just refreshed , still there

[slow mirage]

yea they kinda left us hanging to make up our theories

[hollow garden]

I did but it even says no order history

[slow mirage]

hmm ://

[onyx grail]

Maybe try to login on the site or sum?

[onyx grail]

Hopefully they’ll make a post soon

[slow mirage]

are you vip today ?

[onyx grail]

But they might cancel it since Korea is gonna be in their mourning period

[hollow garden]

Yes 🥲

[slow mirage]

what vip are you and what time were you planning to head over and line up ?

[hollow garden]

I try but it just kept verifying the email over and over

Tried

[onyx grail]

Weird

[slow mirage]

guess we’ll find out soon

[onyx grail]

Yeah 😭😭😭

[slow mirage]

im just gonna go today with the mindset of they’re not gonna cancel like yoy said

[onyx grail]

I have their post and story notifs on so I don’t gotta keep checking

I really feel like they are gonna preform today then cancel the rest (delay them) which still sucks bc I already paid for my flight and everything

[zealous slate]

They're not gunna cancel

[slow mirage]

we’ll see

[onyx grail]

I’m rlly stressed ab all this

It’s been 2 hrs since the post 😭😭

[grim horizon]

Man, i had a terrible dream tonight

I had a bad dream tonight. Four of them in a huddle after the show and Jennie crying saying "She can't say anything". And me being asked to delete the recording

[slow mirage]

damn

[frozen bronze]

What time did VIP3 have to get there to go into soundcheck yesterday?

[chilly terrace]

No way the cancel 12hrs before the shoe

It just dont make snese

Prob just a normal announcement from yg and all accounts link gotta report

[river warren]

Hopefully they dont cancel

if they do I respect their decision

but I hope they dont

[onyx grail]

Yeah but I’m saying they are probably gonna do Houston and then delay the rest of them :/

[chilly terrace]

I dont think they will cancel

[chilly terrace]

It’s gonna be a mess

To hard to rent arena again

[onyx grail]

Yeah I’m really hoping they won’t but it’s likely they will 😭😭😭

[chilly terrace]

prob just general announcement

US isnt korea

[onyx grail]

It doesn’t matter

[chilly terrace]

If they delay they gotta book the rest of concert

[onyx grail]

They can get a lot of hate for not respecting the mourning period

[chilly terrace]

Like the arena but all of its are in NBA season now

Or NHL

[onyx grail]

Yeah, hopefully they won’t delay the rest since I’m going to ATL on Thursday for it 😭😭

[chilly terrace]

Km going for NY

[onyx grail]

I mean I just think it’s stupid how they post that without any further explanation knowing that blinks are gonna wonder about the tour

[chilly terrace]

Already book train and hotel 💀

[onyx grail]

I’m just gonna go with “no update, still happening”

[chilly terrace]

Especially houston people now

[onyx grail]

Yeah I already have my flight and hotel

[chilly terrace]

What if they line up and get cancel show

[onyx grail]

I don’t think they would cancel the show tonight but again possibly the upcoming ones

[chilly terrace]

nooo plz dont😭

Im checking my possibily exam schedule

[slow mirage]

anybody there at toyota center already ?

line update ?

im about to uber over there soon

[strange granite]

^

I’m still in bed

Just want to see how long the line and decide to get up or what 🫠

[slow mirage]

same

[chilly terrace]

To think that they reschedule it’s gonna be at least 1-2 weeks delay then it wont make sense cause they have like 10 shows left and their europe tour

[zealous slate]

They're not canceling anything, they're probably just not gunna promote anything on social media, internet

[strange granite]

What happened 😳

[onyx grail]

I hope so

[onyx grail]

This was posted to Blackpink and other various yg artists accounts

[strange granite]

Oh no

[frozen bronze]

korea in a 5 domestic day morning period should not affect overseas promotions and events, nor would the korean government want it to all in the further support of hallyu

[chilly terrace]

Yea it’s just promotional and content activities

[chilly terrace]

Cringe

Im still praying for Itaewon but man

[slow mirage]

where’s the best spot to stand for VIP ??

been debating this for the longest

dead center in front ? off to the side so you get a better view of main stage ? like idk

[onyx grail]

Hangon, I made a list of where they like.. “are” most often (like main or extended)

[slow mirage]

i appreciate it !

[frozen bronze]

id be curious to see what this looks like lol

[onyx grail]

Yep hangon!

[onyx grail]

Pretty savage (main stage)
Whistle (shortened)(main stage)

[grim horizon]

Can you park earlier than you're supposed to?

[onyx grail]

9 songs only main
0 songs only extended
6 start main end extended
5 start extended end main

[onyx grail]

Yep!

[noble raven]

Thanks for sharing this! I think me and my friend decided since we have to say in the same spot for soundcheck and concert we’d prefer extended just because of interactions haha

[woeful raptor]

I will simply stand at the end of extended good enough to see the main LOL

[onyx grail]

Yess

[noble raven]

Do y’all know if the will call allowed you to pick up tickets for the day before? We arrive on Thursday but our concert is Friday for Chicago.

[undone summit]

no

[noble raven]

Dang okay I guess we’ll try to just line up for merch Thursday then to avoid it on Friday

[gray summit]

yaas

jennie’s red solo outfit yesterday was

[slow mirage]

so you think like dead center in front of center won’t be too far to see main ? this is my only dilemma

[undone summit]

that's where I was

[woeful raptor]

Doesnt look too bad from what I've seen

[undone summit]

ur kinda far tbh

[woeful raptor]

I mean rather that than see their backs if they move to extended but to each their own lol

[undone summit]

this how it looks when they're in front of u tho

[woeful raptor]

Ya das fire

[neon delta]

Interactions >>

[gray summit]

the backup dancers omg

i love

[grim horizon]

Are any of you in here now?

[slow mirage]

yep this is all i needed to see to confirm where i wanna go

[neon delta]

Then u should get in line if u havent

[undone summit]

Lmao

[exotic garden]

Friend still has 2 vip1 tickets for today's show. She can't make it. Dm me and I'll let her know

[gray summit]

[grim horizon]

Where are you guys at?

[slow mirage]

[exotic garden]

She's selling for well under face value so if you want to upgrade your ticket to VIP1...!

[woeful raptor]

[slow mirage]

[woeful raptor]

Yes do it. You go lol

[slow mirage]

we’ll see how much lol

[exotic garden]

I'll dm you

[grim horizon]

There's a line at vip2 and 3 right now

[gray fjord]

okay do we all think that a fanny pack that is 5x8 would be okay to bring

[grim horizon]

Kinda disappointed i haven't seen one in Halloween costume yet

[amber owl]

ah thanks for finding this thread, Veld! I still have the 2 VIP1 if anyone is interested

[strange granite]

How many people rn

[grim horizon]

Probably about a hundred

Even more probably

[slow mirage]

lol who got the purple venom mask in vip 3

[frozen bronze]

when do they open pick up today

[exotic garden]

Believe it starts at 12 for vip1

[gray summit]

omg isn’t @grim horizon

wearing a pink venom mask

omg it is tjem LMAO

[slow mirage]

idk is it ??

is that you ? @grim horizon

[gray summit]

my heart dropped

for a second

[amber owl]

sold 1 VIP1, one more left if anyone is still looking!

[gray summit]

oop

[onyx grail]

Are people at the venue already?

[frozen bronze]

Yeah lines are 100+ deep for vip 2 and 3

[gray summit]

hopefully they all have a backup charger w them LMAO

someone send a pic of the line omg

[inland pawn]

about to get to line

this is VIP2+3, VIP1 was like 40+

[sudden saddle]

Tbh I kinda wished we got Boombayah instead of Stay last night

[frozen bronze]

No doubt tonight they swap it

[gray summit]

omg

hopefully

i want boombayah encore so bad

[frozen bronze]

the main set is so perfect

[sudden saddle]

I was actually sad we didnt get Boombayah encore

some people in the row in front of me actually believe blackpink saying that Forever Young was their last song so they missed the encore 😭

[onyx grail]

I thought they always do 3? It’s always been bbyah yeah yeah and stay OR aiiyl

[sudden saddle]

I think its bbyah OR stay

except for Seoul D2 where they did all 4

[onyx grail]

No bc for Dallas they did yeah yeah, bbyah stay and then the other day did AIIYL instead of stay

[sudden saddle]

huh

[onyx grail]

Still mad there’s no happiest girl tho

[sudden saddle]

i wish they played all their songs

that wouldve been amazing

[onyx grail]

Day one for Dallas they did boombahyah, as if it’s your last and Yeha yeah yeah

Day 2 was boombahyah, stay and yeah yeah yeah

So I was under the impression it was stay or as if it’s your last

[sudden saddle]

im kinda sad they didnt program lightsticks to change colors to the songs for last nights concert

[onyx grail]

Ikkk like- they did it for Seoul. 😭😭

[sudden saddle]

Its funny though because when they were playing the MVs the lightsticks would react if you were close enough to some of the MVs

[onyx grail]

Omg smh

That’s so dumb

They should just have it so it reacts to the music

Or at least make it so we can change the colors via the app

[sudden saddle]

well it only worked on the 5 MVs that are in the app

[onyx grail]

The lightstick will react with any title song and any song off of THE album when listening on Spotify

[sudden saddle]

really?

[onyx grail]

Yes!!

[sudden saddle]

what about Born Pink?

[onyx grail]

Hangon let me send some videos

[weary girder]

yes, it'll react to Born Pink also

[onyx grail]

Unfortunately no 😦 I tried it yesterday and it didn’t react

I tried for shut down and pink venom and it didn’t

[weary girder]

play Tally from the Youtube, it wrks

[sudden saddle]

ive noticed the light stick can be hit or miss when connecting sometimes

[onyx grail]

That’s so random

[grim horizon]

Yes that's me I'm not wearing it rn

Gotta make yourself unique

[sudden saddle]

my poor mother dropped $380 for blackpink merch last night

[grim horizon]

Hey you gotta hug your mom more

[onyx grail]

See it works with the bsides on the album via Spotify

And their other title tracks

[grim horizon]

Where you at?

[onyx grail]

It didn’t for me

[grim horizon]

Where are you?

[grim horizon]

When do we get in?

[gray summit]

in church

[onyx grail]

Why doesn’t mine 😭😭

[slow mirage]

yea i wish they played the music videos louder so i could connect my damn light stick

but then i realized like thousands of others were trying to connect their bluetooth at the same time so it was hell 💀

[onyx grail]

But you don’t need to connect Bluetooth for it to play

[grim horizon]

Pssshh

[onyx grail]

I didn’t connect mine and it worked fine for Spotify

[slow mirage]

oh

well rip

i’ll try again tonight

[woeful raptor]

Church of BlackPink right?

[weary girder]

bluetooth is only needed to update software

and control light manually in app

[inland pawn]

line has pretty much doubled in the hour i've been here

[gray summit]

in blackpink we trust

[grim horizon]

What did he say?

It's better of posts it here

If he*

[inland pawn]

Wristbands will be given and numbered in sequential order. Staff said be back by 3:45. VIPs will start going in around 4PM

[grim horizon]

That's what's up

[frozen bronze]

Soundcheck started live at 530 yesterday just as a reference point

Send off started at 10:35

[grim horizon]

Probably gonna be a little early today.

Since they work out the kinks

[slow mirage]

okay i got my wrist band

and i kinda wanna wait in line already for sound check

anybody know where to go now ?

[hollow copper]

now that you have wristband yu can leave and come back?

without losing your spot

[slow mirage]

it’s just up to us to honor the number system huh

[hollow copper]

ohh

[neon delta]

They kinda double check

[inland pawn]

i got my wristband im just gonna buy merch real quick

[slow mirage]

cuz like what if i line up now , and then even tho i’m VIP3 i’ll still get in before other vips who decide to show up a little later

no way anybody’s gonna be in numerical order tbh

[hollow copper]

its all one line instead of separate?

[inland pawn]

they told me to just form a queue again, that it's gonna be marked with a paper where the new line begins behind the original to get the band.

[slow mirage]

a dude with a backstage pass came out and told me that once i get my VIP3 wrist band , IF i wanna go ahead and line up for check in line hella early , for me to go fill in with the VIP1’s

that’s just what i was told 🤷🏽‍♂️

[hollow copper]

hmmm ok

good luck

[inland pawn]

🤔 so we could technically get in sooner than the number on the wristband? or am i just gonna have to try and slot in where my number falls in line?

[slow mirage]

okay nvm

this guy cleared it up

i’m good to stay here

[hollow copper]

what did he say

he looks like a fine upstanding young man

[slow mirage]

i’m with the 1s right now , he told me that when sound chrck is about to start , all the 1s will move to a seperate line

but i’ll be in front of the next line

and also i’m sure a lot of people are gonna come back like around 3:45

[hollow copper]

@slow mirage so do you have #1 for the vip3 or does the number not matter?

Is vip2 and 3 the same line? 🚀

[undone summit]

not same line

[hollow copper]

are you there again today @undone summit

[lilac crag]

Anyone in VIP2 get the gifts yet or is that later?

[undone summit]

yes

[hollow copper]

VVIP

[slow mirage]

no i’m 29

it does matter somehwhat

but it’s mainly up to the people to cooperate with maintaining order lol

[woeful raptor]

Sheesh Flames

[hollow copper]

are you prepared to throw hands in the case of people bucking the system

[slow mirage]

i mean if anybody is numerically in front of me i’ll honor it

but i will absolutely not let anybody that has a higher number than me will get in front of me lmao

[inland pawn]

ooooh my wallet hates me rn

[frozen bronze]

does this city like shut down on weekends lol

every restaurant that looks interesting is closed today

[strange granite]

Is 122 very front for v2?😂

[onyx grail]

Are they selling the photocard packs today?

[grim horizon]

Guys I'm having tacos

I'm at el taco rico

It's a minute drive

It says they're closed but they're open

[inland pawn]

how strict is searching when entering the venue? are we allowed to bring in stuff like a bottle of water? (im guessing not)

[grim horizon]

If you have a clear bag, they'll probably let it in

Like the one they sell

[inland pawn]

hmm i dont, only my pockets 😔

[grim horizon]

If it fits, they'll let it in

They probably have to check them tho

Like at the airport

[inland pawn]

well im gonna eat and hydrate a bit before having to stand for hours on end

[grim horizon]

Have some tacos

Lol

There's a rambling old dude outside so that's how you know it's legit

Only two people here

[frozen bronze]

there's no pat down only metal detector, you could easily bring in water (or whiskey)

[inland pawn]

would i probably be safe leaving my earbuds in my pocket then?

dont wanna have to go leave them at my car lol

[frozen bronze]

you could just hold them inyour hand, theyre not prohibited

[inland pawn]

got it, thanks

[grim horizon]

Left my mask in the car, tried the bucket hat, but my head is too big

Beeg brain

[inland pawn]

wow i waited a good bit to buy merch from that big trailer in the front near the line and there's multiple smaller stands selling merch all around Toyota Center

with little to no lines

[grim horizon]

Are you by yourself?

[inland pawn]

yeah

[grim horizon]

Walking back

[inland pawn]

just walking around, looking for food

[grim horizon]

Already had some

Most places closed on sundays

[frozen bronze]

where's the cool part of houston? gotta drive far from the venue to experience it?

[inland pawn]

Houston's not exactly a tourist city sadly. It has its unique parts of town but mostly gonna be one big metropolitan area with highways

[grim horizon]

NASA maybe?

[inland pawn]

NASA is pretty far from downtown

30min drive

[grim horizon]

Ye

[noble raven]

Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is pretty cool

[inland pawn]

Downtown has its cool areas, few parks and cheap rentable bicycles.

[past spade]

I mean you have to be in the pre party before u go to soundcheck haha

[grim horizon]

Preparty???

[past spade]

Wait nvmnd thats for ultimate

My fault

[grim horizon]

They should call it Blink Trust Fund Baby ticket

[hollow copper]

Blink Oil Prince Experience

[frozen bronze]

was funny watching ultimate vip people yesterday trying to drink their money's worth at the open bar

no doubt they dont remember the actual concert now

[hollow copper]

[neon delta]

Yo I think it'd be really hype if the whole stadium did the Don't Know What To Do fanchant! It's really easy, you just echo the words "Don't know what to do" after blackpink says it. Since the music goes quiet, the effect is magnified. Here's a link to a vid that has it if y'all wanna look into the timing:
https://youtu.be/RuOA5fHZfKs
Thanks y'all!

[undone summit]

good idea

[frozen bronze]

were you going around telling people this earlier today in line

[neon delta]

Hmmm will neither confirm nor deny

[grim horizon]

Nonyo, are you the guy going around regarding the fanchant

Oh wait

Cool, I'll just assume

[undone summit]

yes he is

but yeah he's spitting

we should all do it

[neon delta]

Damn caught red handed

[grim horizon]

Bro let's go

[grim horizon]

Let's go

[frozen bronze]

VIP3 gift was a bandana, what was VIP2?

[slow mirage]

jesus there’s still vip2’s going in for soundcheck ?

vip 3 line hasn’t even started to go in yet

[inland pawn]

same thing along with a luggage contact info holder

[noble raven]

Someone posted this earlier that this was the gift for vip deluxe

[inland pawn]

yeah that's it

[chilly terrace]

Plus the hat too

[livid ledge]

today's show is going to happen right?

[neon delta]

Correct

[frozen bronze]

soundcheck should be starting in half hour

[livid ledge]

okay thanks

[livid ledge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7M9x3W4mY

is this yours? it just showed on my yt's page xD

[frozen bronze]

[grim horizon]

Shheeeesh

[hollow copper]

Oh this is the type of hat I love

[slow mirage]

pit seems WAYY more crowded than yesterday no ?

did a lot of people leave after soundcheck yesterday ?

[neon delta]

I dont think u should hope on that

[chilly terrace]

Maybe

[frozen bronze]

Did they sell 1000 VIP3?

[trim hemlock]

did they let you guys record in soundcheck? just curious if they were strict about not recording it or not

[slender salmon]

my friend just sent me some videos from soundcheck

so im guessing yes

[hollow copper]

yeah i think they do. looks like they treat it as just a smaller, shorter and more casual concert.

[grim horizon]

Just recorded stuff

[slow mirage]

i recorded all 3 songs just now lol

bro the energy is crazyyyyy tonight

[neon delta]

Lets show them Dont know what to do fanchant blinks 🥳

[trim hemlock]

[gray summit]

[woeful raptor]

They should! There's gonna be merch inside too

[frozen bronze]

Did they not pour triple shots at VIP1 or are people just being under control lol

yesterday was just weed and alcohol breath tonight is wayyy more chill

[exotic garden]

[weary girder]

still got some time

[hollow copper]

lol i would never expect a blackpink show to have a lot of people high or drunk. thats really funny

[onyx grail]

Were they selling the photocard packs today?

[grim horizon]

It's typically not a good idea to get wasted the day before work

[gray summit]

BRO IDK WHERE TO GO

IDK WHERE MERCH IS

someone help

[hollow copper]

if you walk around the concourse, you will find it

[gray summit]

i lied

found it

[slow mirage]

i’m very satisfied with my spot

[exotic garden]

The lightstick they were selling is v2? Does it come with photocards?

[grim horizon]

I got focus pills

[undone summit]

wya

wave to me

I'm standing up in the middle

[weary girder]

yes, they are selling v2s only (i don't think they make v1s anymore), they do have photocards separately that they are supposed to give you if you buy a lightstick

[exotic garden]

Thank you!

[frozen bronze]

First time getting one of these printed tickets

Nice touch in the digital era

[gray summit]

hopefully they let me keep nymph

portable charger lmao

[hollow copper]

[gray summit]

THIS CIEW OMG

[slow mirage]

[grim horizon]

I've been standing since 12

I only sat down eating tacos

And 15 minutes in car

I won't be able to walk

[frozen bronze]

Security says they are actually gonna start on time today

[gray summit]

my lightstick is giving me so many problems

the sound is defected bye

[frozen bronze]

they got shit for being late yesterday

[inland pawn]

[blissful blaze]

[gray summit]

oddly i’m not sad abt it ending

[blissful blaze]

Yeah

[woeful raptor]

Well you got what you wanted instead so yy lol

[gray summit]

too bad boombayah wasn’t encore

[woeful raptor]

I love boombayah

[blissful blaze]

My phone went from 86% to 3% just to record BlackPink

Lmao

[undone summit]

boombayah wasn't encore because

we got them to do it during soundchceck

[mild tree]

what did they sing for encore today?

[undone summit]

yeah stay aiiyl

[mild tree]

only one song?

[slow mirage]

tonight’s energy was DIFFERENT

[slow mirage]

3

[mild tree]

Oohh

damn

I went yesterday lol

[blissful blaze]

Yesterday was different?

I supposed to go yesterday instead of today

[mild tree]

I heard 2nd day is usually better

They were still amazing tho😭

Wish I can go back already

[undone summit]

2nd was better I can attest

energy was beautiful

[gray summit]

it was so good

the energy was everytbing

and we didn’t get scolded by jennie

[slow mirage]

YES

i went to both nights

the energy was CRAZY both nights but day 2 was just different

[grim horizon]

Jennie wasn't in good condition. Hope she gets well

[slow mirage]

and the girls talked a LOT more to us

[slow mirage]

feel like she went too hard day 1 lol

she was so energetic yesterday

[grim horizon]

Atlanta would probably be similar to this since the fans there are wild

Lost my voice for TWICE

[woeful raptor]

This is what I wanna hear for the audience (but not for seeing about VIP) boutta have to get there at 4 ☠️

[grim horizon]

Need to be there at 11

[woeful raptor]

Ya 11 PM the night before at this rate 😭

[undone summit]

earliest person today 3:30 am

then my friends went at 4

[mild tree]

Are they gonna go to Atlanta by plane?

[woeful raptor]

My god. 3 AM it is. Boutta carry like 5 portables

[undone summit]

aren't u vip1?

[woeful raptor]

Ya lol

Look

I've never done this in my life lol

This is my first concert

Simply just using all the info to make my choices lol

[grim horizon]

I'm already at the airport

[slow mirage]

jesus wtf

[grim horizon]

Foot, busted

[undone summit]

well besides me and my friends

[grim horizon]

Get a tiny seethrough bag, fit a foldable stool, some snackos, no liquids, battery bank, etc

[undone summit]

earliest vip 1 was

6am and 5 am both days

counting us it was 4 am both days

[woeful raptor]

I alrady called State Farm Arena, they said my belt bag is fine lol. I showed them pics and gave the dimensions

[grim horizon]

That's what's up

[woeful raptor]

Length is a little bigger than the allowed size but the other dimensions are much smaller so they're like "Ya we wont make a big deal out of it"

[grim horizon]

If you have a spot close to the stage, shout your lungs off

[woeful raptor]

I even got my customer service rep name

Just to be sure

[grim horizon]

Or be like me and wear a pink venom mask and get a free reaction

[woeful raptor]

Glad I called the arena since they said they're getting all the details tomorrow so I'll know about my parking situation as well

[grim horizon]

Parking in Atlanta is rough

[woeful raptor]

Foldable stool though hmm

[grim horizon]

So confusing

[woeful raptor]

Ya well VIP1s have the Diamond Deck which is like directly next to or connected to the arena. The other decks they have, you gotta walk

[grim horizon]

Some Chinese people were so smart, they brought tiny stools

I don't even trust the navigation systems cause the roads are underground

[woeful raptor]

Looks up foldable stool on Amazon and sees if it can ship to hotel lol

[grim horizon]

Is it also standing room for Atlanta?

[woeful raptor]

Yup. Only LA got them seats for VIPs

[grim horizon]

LA is bunch of wuss

[woeful raptor]

Ill stand. I taught tennis as a job. Standing will be nothing

[grim horizon]

Get foot cramps like the rest of us

[woeful raptor]

I know their concert is outdoors but ya why cant they stand lol

[slow mirage]

best night of my life

thank you to everybody here who helped with the information

hope you all had an amazing time as well <3

[undone summit]

thank you houston for this weekend

best weekend of my life

y'all r amazing

❤️❤️

[slow mirage]

thank you houston

thank you everyone in this chat

i’ll never forget this weekend

[undone summit]

hope to see u guys at more Texas kpop concerts!!

any vip1s have questions or need advice feel free to dm

[wispy portal]

smoky

[undone summit]

cringe

gtfo loser

bet u didn't even get barricade

[neon delta]

Tpxic

[woeful raptor]

YES. I sent a request lol

[grim horizon]

Wait who??

[sudden saddle]

YALL GOT BOOMBAYAH???

[slow mirage]

for soundcheck yes

we were all shouting it since rosé asked what song we wanted

i meannnnn i was shouting happiest girl but i know they most likely don’t have a backtrack to it so i was like eh whatever

[sudden saddle]

ah

what else did yall get for soundcheck

[slow mirage]

crazy over you , typa girl

jisoo the cutest <3

[undone summit]

Y'ALL WELCOME BTW

the whole sides were shouting happiest girl and the center was like hell nah

so I started boombayah chant and everyone in the front joined in

and we got em

[slow mirage]

i noticed that !!

[undone summit]

Kim jisoo is my religion

[slow mirage]

that post concert depression is hitting so hard this morning 💀💀💀

[grim horizon]

[undone summit]

nah bro I'm so depressed

can't even listen to concert songs

forever young came on shuffle and I started crying

[grim horizon]

These things come and go

I always find it helpful to be grateful not just to the girls and their music but just for myself as well

And I just wait for the depression to wash away

I think to myself "I've had that experience, and that affected me and now I'm in the process of readjusting myself and I know that it will be there"

[slow mirage]

i keep on watching the vids i took

and go “damn”

[grim horizon]

Also I was on focus pills so yeah

[polar wyvern]

@slow mirage what was your favorite part

[green mulch]

Anyone remem if they accept amex for merch purchase?

[verbal hatch]

can anyone in vip plus reply me a pov of their view plsp lplspls

[slow mirage]

i’m not gonna like i can’t pick just one , but any time they came down the extended stage and they were soooo close to me was my fav

[verbal hatch]

WTF U GET THAT THATS SO GOOD

[slow mirage]

for reference , i was vip3 or vip plus , but i was also #29 in that line , only had about 4 to 5 people in front of me till the barricade

[verbal hatch]

when did u queue

[slow mirage]

only if you line up early

i lined up right at 9 am and our vip check in was at 12 pm noon , and i was #29 in line so that gives you an idea of how early people decided to show up

of course the vip 1s and vip 2’s get priority and go before but if you line up early for vip 3 then you have a CHANCE to get a pretty good spot

[verbal hatch]

wait i never understand what the barricade is

whats that

[slow mirage]

pls take all this with a grain of salt , this was just MY experience , doesn’t mean it’ll happen for you , it could or it couldn’t

[slow mirage]

what separates you from the stage

like a metal gate

[polar wyvern]

I was barricade day 1 dallas and I remember feeling the same way. I remember seeing their legs basically in my face and I was going wth is this even real 🤩

[slow mirage]

CRAZZZZY AFFF

[inland pawn]

I lined up around 10:30AM for VIP2 and was #70. There were way more VIPs than I thought. I ended up near the outer edge of the crowd anyways because everyone shifted after sitting and then standing up

Was still a good view

[slow mirage]

there were a lot of vips fr omg

but it all worked out in the end

[inland pawn]

🥲

[slow mirage]

i definitely feel bad for the very short people who got stuck behind the tall ones

[inland pawn]

Yeah I'm glad I'm tall lol

[slow mirage]

she’s so beautiful wtf

[woeful raptor]

This is why my short self gotta there early lol

[slow mirage]

nah fr im not gonna lie it gets so much harder to see once the concert actually starts cuz everybody’s phones are all up in the air , making it even harder to see if you don’t got a good spot

it’s crazy fr

so plan accordingly

figure out where you wanna stand on the floor ahead of time

and don’t let anyone push you around or take your spot once you got it

[woeful raptor]

After hearing all the experiences, I'm mentally (and physically) preparing myself for a long day lol

[grim horizon]

You gotta work hard to get those rail spots too though

It's better to be at the front end of the extended stage

By the side

Befriend your neighbor

I didn't have to cause I'm the weird one with a mask

[hollow copper]

I wanna be Noel's neighbor but he's big shot and I'm a lowly Plus

[woeful raptor]

LMAO stop

[grim horizon]

I'm pretty sure Atlanta will be hyped

Last time I was there, there's a lot of dance crews

[gray summit]

my throat hurts sm

bye

still wearing my hoodie @woeful raptor

[slow mirage]

the better you prepare and have a game plan before hand , the less stress you’ll have hypothetically:)

you never know what kinda bs you’ll run into that day cuz it’s gonna be chaotic

so try your best to focus on what you can control to make your day go by a lil smoother

as in like don’t be late , etc etc

[woeful raptor]

Is it comfy? Im buying one for sure

[gray summit]

it’s def not the best of the best quality as it is merch

but comfortable enough for me

i love it

it doesn’t make u itch so

hopefully next time when they come back it’s a stadium tour at nrg

there was these two little girls sitting behind me their screams were so high pitched my eardrums r prolly busted from them and not the music

😭

[undone summit]

wat

wait

[neon delta]

Holy crap

Wait

[undone summit]

[neon delta]
