[carmine bridge]

i have the old ver but it is broken plus i think it is fake bc i got from amazon lmaooo

[fresh reef]

I’ve already have one coming so I’m sorted. Wasn’t sure if it s was legitimate

[frail wyvern]

That means I need to bring a bag

Ugh

[carmine bridge]

o2 only allow small ones so be careful but idk if rules have changed

[fresh reef]

How big are lightstick I’m planning on taking my small bag

[carmine bridge]

idk if a lightstick would fit

i think they would

[jade hearth]

A4 sized bag, should fit a lightstick.

[carmine bridge]

just depends on how wide ur bag is

[jade hearth]

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/911583110/traditional-leather-satchel-a4-size

Around this size is ok I think lol

[carmine bridge]

but yeah ur not allowed backpacks or anything

yeahh

no bugger

bigger* lmao

[frail wyvern]

That’s going to be fun

[carmine bridge]

but be careful bc they are strict

so don't push the limit or they will just take it from you or refuse you entry

[jade hearth]

If your bag is too big, you'll have to pay £10 to keep it in storage.

And they close storage 30 mins after the event

[frail wyvern]

I’m not doing that

[jade hearth]

Same, imma just carry the light stick around the whole day

Wave it on the train a bit

[frail wyvern]

Same lol

[fresh reef]

So if i see someone carrying a light stick than i will know they are a blink especially on that day.

[carmine bridge]

yeah you will be better off with a small bag to keep ur keys, phone, money, lip balm etc in and just carry the lightstick

[carmine bridge]

hahahah yes

[jade hearth]

Thankfully all I will have on me is my phone, wallet, and lightstick. So won't need a bag

[frail wyvern]

Literally same here

[jade hearth]

And I think the O2 is all contactless, so don't carry cash. Use your card

[carmine bridge]

yeah same, my phone, wallet and maybe some concealer is all i will take

[fresh reef]

I should be able to bring my bag. It’s small enough i think.

[carmine bridge]

yayyy great

[carmine bridge]

ohhhh

[fresh reef]

Makes sense

[carmine bridge]

ok so remember ur card guys lmao

[jade hearth]

Most stadiums and arenas in the UK have gone cashless now.

It's honestly a lot quicker, thank god I used my card for the first time ever last week lol

[fresh reef]

Do they check which card you use for your tickets?

[jade hearth]

Nah, they just check that you have your ticket via the AXS app

[fresh reef]

And id right?

[frail wyvern]

Yep

[jade hearth]

ID and AXS app

[carmine bridge]

yeah make sure u have ID

they only rlly use ID if you look under the age set by the artist for getting in the venue

[jade hearth]

ID can be anything from your provisional drivers licence to your Birth Certificate lmao

[carmine bridge]

birth certificate isn't id

[fresh reef]

I wouldn’t be ok carrying my birth certificate 🙁

[carmine bridge]

i would assume you need photo id

[jade hearth]

I have used it before lmao

[carmine bridge]

really?

im suprised, that usually isnt valid

[jade hearth]

This was about 8 years back, but I am sure it'd still be valid maybe

[carmine bridge]

ahhh ok, well idk

i will use my provisional drivers liscence

[jade hearth]

I will have to apply for that, or just use my Passport. Idk yet

[carmine bridge]

might as well use passport if ur not planning to learn to drive

[jade hearth]

I am not aha

[carmine bridge]

lmao use ur passport then lolzzz

[lyric fulcrum]

Ive got my provisional

should I use my passport tho? is that safer?

[frail wyvern]

That’s what I’m using

[lyric fulcrum]

if anyones got any cute concert bags hmu

[timber lily]

do the lightsticks have a way to put a little band on them? wow what a cohesive sentence

[lyric fulcrum]

lmao

should be like at the bottom under the bottom (????)

like theres a little loop

u put it through there

[timber lily]

yess exactly this

so getting a band and hanging the stick on your wrist might help the needing a bag issue

[lyric fulcrum]

I need a bag for like my phone and ID and stuff

cuz I wont have pockets

and I aint holding all my shit

[timber lily]

ye ye, so have a tiny one for those and hang the lightstick on your wrist

[jade hearth]

Provisional is safer, if you lose your passport. It's not a good thing, and has a lot more details on it than your provisional does.

[lyric fulcrum]

true, ok I'll do provisional then

[lyric fulcrum]

ahhh ok

fair

need a little bag uwu

I wanted like a clear pink bag

but cant find one :(

LETS KILL THIS LOVE

[timber lily]

hopefully they’re okay with an EU ID because i ain’t lugging my passport around

i feel ya tho, i also want a cute bag

and a whole outfit…

[lyric fulcrum]

[fresh reef]

Oooh

[jade hearth]

Get an outfit for 1 night, and wear the merch you bought on the first night for the second :D

[frail wyvern]

I’ll just leave this here. https://twitter.com/BLCKPINKweverse/status/1572043879398125568?s=20&t=4iadonkXcQuNJc4oh6E0Cw it a lot cheaper but you’ll need a proxy which could exceed price from skoolab especially with sending it to the eu

[cunning kite]

Does it have to be a British Government issued ID?

[jade hearth]

That I do not know, I think it just has to be something that proves you are you

[cunning kite]

Ah ok, Thank you

[leaden lagoon]

they also might sell on tour! that'd be great and they did it last time

[jade hearth]

This unfortunately sold out extremely quickly.

I still hate WeVerse for refusing to deliver here because "Covid" when literally every single other company/country sends stuff here including SK. WeVerse lazy

[jade hearth]

I hope The O2 Arena sells Tea.

[fresh reef]

It would need to be from the government yes. If it’s a student id than that won’t work. If your coming from outside the uk just bring your passport it’s easier.

[fresh reef]

Hopefully they will restock again. I might get mine from them and buy a few le sserafim while I’m at it 😅😅 if i have the money.

[cunning kite]

Ah ok, Thank you. I think I'll stick to the BRP rather than Passport

[leaden lagoon]

yeah!!! maybe sokollab will stock up too thatd be good

i wonder if we'll get a new lightstick?

[fresh reef]

No problem. Is best to just bring a government issued identification just in case as i know places including bars and especially events won’t let you in unless it’s from the government.

[fresh reef]

Isn’t the weverse one their new one’s? I don’t think they would do newer ones unless they plan on selling it for a premium

I like reading this

[fresh reef]

The uk charts are insanely difficult for a non western act. I’ll be happy for top 20

[frail wyvern]

Same

Blackpink deserve it

[jade hearth]

Their single I hope will get Top 20, albums are a tiny bit easier but still very difficult.

So a Number 1 in that is fantastic

Just wish the radio would play them 😭

They rarely play foreign songs anymore, what happened to the days of Las Ketchup, Dragostei Din Tei, and all that EuroPop stuff lol

[fresh reef]

The only two songs i heard from the radio are psy gangman style back in 2013 when i got into kpop head deep and Bts with coldplay.

The uk charts is a wall for most acts that aren’t English

[jade hearth]

BTS was only played because of Coldplay as well.

Gangnam Style, god I remember everyone dancing to that

[fresh reef]

I know there's a shopping mall like 30 minutes from me that played Blackpink xD

[jade hearth]

My shop plays it, if they allow me to control the Alexa lol

Or if I am on my own that day

[fresh reef]

I just went into the place and the first song I heard was How you like that

It happened like a few times when I do go there

[jade hearth]

That was my first song I heard of theirs, and I never knew who it was. So never looked into it

Wish I had, missed out on a lot of good things 😭

[fresh reef]

Thanks to uni I just couldn't get into k-pop for like 5 years being too busy so I barely had time to keep up with blackpink (plus with other things going on in my life). Honestly I'm thankful work isn't too stressful hence why I'm just catching up now xD. My family all knows I'm a blink and my sister and I use too fan boy/girl together for them

[jade hearth]

I never really got into Kpop just because of the reputation it had online (The annoying fans on Twitter).

This server has sort of shown me like a completely different side to Kpop fandom, I will nowadays openly and happily admit I am into it, after secretly listening to ITZY for the last 2 years lmao

[fresh reef]

Twitter has always been toxic even back in 2nd gen and things only escalated when k-pop went bigger and bigger (3rd gen and even now). You really don't need to interact with them if you feel uncomfortable. I know some closet k-pop fans that just don't talk about it openly but you can always support and show love even just by listening to their songs.

[jade hearth]

Oh I do, I generally dislike Twitter because of Fandoms and the fact everyone nowadays is so toxic over every tiny thing someone has done in their life since birth aha
I seriously miss the days of Twitter when Fandom hadn't taken over it yet.

Back in like 2009-2010, was such a chill place where Celebs also seemingly hung out. Nowadays every celeb account is either a PR team or they just skip over Twitter altogether and don't post anymore.

I still remember the days where celebs did follow sprees, and followed fans back just because. I used to be followed by Little mix, Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, Nicole Scherzinger, etc etc.

That no longer happens, and fan interactions never happen because fans are just too toxic nowadays

[silent canyon]

Why is booking flights so complicated

Ugh

[jade hearth]

Where are you booking them from?

[silent canyon]

Scotland

Easy jet

It’s so like

Complicated

[jade hearth]

I'd have thought that'd be simple, hence the name "Easy Jet" 😭

[silent canyon]

LOL

[jade hearth]

I found a flight from Glasgow to Gatwick for £27.99, how do they make money, the fuel costs more than that lol

[fresh reef]

Ehhh that's for one person. A whole flight cositis of hunderds of people

[jade hearth]

Oh I know, still cheap.

Picking flights and just getting the spinning ring of death, thanks EasyJet lol

[fresh reef]

It's why I don't use twitter for interacting with stans. I know a few celeberties still uses it but they were like let's just go pateron or an offical discord rather than using twitter. Actually I even seen Sorn (CLC) who even talked openly on twitter due to fandoms being mean 😦

[jade hearth]

Stans aren't the smartest people alive tbf.

I mean by all means, be fans. Don't be obsessive it actually drives the people you like away from you (the celebs I mean).

[cunning kite]

Low cost airlines fly from cheap airports and don't spend too much money on staff and services, they also save fuel costs by charging for baggage so the ticket in general is cheaper

[jade hearth]

Ahh, did not know that. I usually fly Virgin Atlantic, so never had to use Low-cost airlines before. Interesting to know

[wraith bison]

Has anyone booked their hotels already ?

[frail wyvern]

I have

[astral coyote]

booked yesterday!

i was worried about everything being unavailable if i waited any longer

[winged fractal]

i feel so lucky rn to be based in london 🥴

gl to you guys

[silent canyon]

Yeah

[silent canyon]

No flight for.u

Lucky

[winged fractal]

yas just a tube lol

[buoyant helm]

same lol 😭 i live a literal bus ride away from the o2 💀

[jade hearth]

Lucky

[buoyant helm]

ik 😭 😭

[jade hearth]

Why does the concert have to be so far away, I wanna see them now. Too hyped for it

[frail wyvern]

Same 😭

[fresh reef]

Yep

[fresh reef]

Don’t mind me being obessed and counting down the days

[jade hearth]

I wish I could get a countdown on my lock screen, but alas OnePlus don't seem to have that feature 😭

Love the background too

[fresh reef]

Just use a widget for the countdown.

[valid ember]

these are the resale seats they have for the concert on the 1st but they are all like £300 and up it's mad

and you can't really get resale tickets in any more than twos :/

[silent canyon]

Aww

[valid ember]

Yeahh it's such a shame

[winged fractal]

purr

[fresh reef]

I’m jealous of you all 😭

[jade hearth]

Tbh, they are in VIP areas tbf. So they are probably resales of VIP tickets.

[valid ember]

Ahh i just have my settings on all available seats, but god even paying like £300 odd for standing is shocking. Altho I know they are resale so people can up the price

[jade hearth]

I paid £453 for standing LOL But that was by choice

[glossy star]

Same a bit further out but only 1hr train journey

[jade hearth]

Depending on what direction you are coming from, we may be on the same train, if you are on the 1st.

[glossy star]

Oop nvm

30th

[glossy star]

I got 277 standing

[wraith bison]

I’ve got two days in london after the concert idk what I’ll be doing 😭

[valid ember]

oh wow but I suppose if you get a decent spot its worth it

[jade hearth]

I got the blink deluxe tickets, hoping I am able to get close to the front.

[glossy star]

If u haven't gone broke due to blackpink maybe some shopping

[wraith bison]

Maybeee

But imma be alone aha

My sister is going to Scotland or smth Idek

[valid ember]

It's just the case of waiting and getting in before others

[glossy star]

I mean even my shopping... I got a chanel bag for school cos of jennie

[wraith bison]

I dunno london that well tbh w u

[wraith bison]

MOOOOD

i like to steal blackpinks fashion

[glossy star]

Lmao yh a duffle bag

I was a bit scared people would judge me and syabuts a feminine brand (I go to a boys school)

[jade hearth]

The millennium leisure park is near the O2.

Got Cinemas and stuff there

[glossy star]

But yh I rlly like it

[jade hearth]

Never care what people say, if you like it, that is all that ever matters. My philosophy on life any way

[wraith bison]

I’m just gonna wear smth not too warm for the concert since I’m floor standing

[valid ember]

nothing is really gendered anymore however there are those who just live in the past

[glossy star]

Yh fr tysm

[glossy star]

Yh and I mean it's just a duffle bag its literally saying a gym bag is genderd

[jade hearth]

Some people do feel that way, it's a silly mentality to have but meh, who cares about those people.

[glossy star]

And thanks to Lisa I got a prada hat blackpink rlly draining my wallet

Lmao

[valid ember]

most of those people are either older or just dealing with their own issues in all honesty

[jade hearth]

Bougie lol

[jade hearth]

I used to be like that ngl up until about 2-3 years ago. When I started to realise if it doesn't affect me. Why should I care what people do, let them live their life how they like.

[glossy star]

Whatever happens I must never look at those celine trainers or my wallets gonna be in trouble 😅

[valid ember]

I'm thinking of trying to buy merch there if I can even get close but I'm well scared of the prices

[glossy star]

Yh they will be rlly expensive

[jade hearth]

Yeah the prices at the arena scare me 😭

[glossy star]

Maybe try getting them b4 the concert

[valid ember]

I was thinking of it but my mindset is the whole point is to spend money I don't really have so why not

[glossy star]

Fair enough

[jade hearth]

I wonder if there will be stalls outside the entrance to the O2 with BP merch.

Depending on if they are allowed, that could be a thing, usually cheaper than inside

[glossy star]

Same for lightsticks

I'm guessing

[jade hearth]

Bruh, 650 for trainers 😭

[glossy star]

Ik I can afford them but I want to have money left over yk so I'll wait

[valid ember]

Woooow for that much I'd put them in a display case

[jade hearth]

I can too but hard to choose if I would want them over the D&G ones I saw in Harrods. Hard to choose

[glossy star]

I acc got 300 quid tommy shoes for like 80 once

[jade hearth]

But they are green, so that is a plus

[glossy star]

There was like the biggest sale ever

[jade hearth]

I have found TK Maxx is perfect for finding designer stuff for cheap.

[glossy star]

I'm so proud of that transaction

That's like 75% off

[glossy star]

Rlly?

[jade hearth]

Yeah, found a lot of Ralph Lauren there for like 70% off.
Designer stuff goes "out of season" often, so they chuck the stuff out for silly money.

As long as you don't care about trends, it's perfect

[valid ember]

Trends only matter if you really care about others opinions I've found

[jade hearth]

Yep, and a lot of people I know just look at clothes and say "That looks nice", don't care much about trends. I'm the same, but what I think looks nice to me

[valid ember]

I've got those friends who will judge you for wearing joggers when it's literally icy outside because you should dress properly

I'm like its cold mate just forget about it

[jade hearth]

LOL I wanna get a topcoat for winter, and a someone I knew said they are for old people. Like bruh, top coats are great for winter

https://www.rlmedia.io/is/image/PoloGSI/s7-1448624_lifestyle?$rl_df_zoom_lif$

I want this so badly

[valid ember]

When its winter everything is fair game. I think it's really nice and if it keeps you warm you can laugh at those who are cold

[jade hearth]

In winter I find all clothes need to be is warm. Fashion goes out the window in Winter

[valid ember]

Exactly

[frail wyvern]

You can still wear warm clothes and make it fashionable

Everybody just has different taste

[valid ember]

when its cold is joggers and a hoodie for me and thats it

[jade hearth]

I wear my Hololive hoodie in winter because it's so thick and warm. So comfy

[valid ember]

Hoodies are a big saviour in winter. I'm not one for dressing gowns so hoodies are very useful

[jade hearth]

I slum it during Winter months tbf lol

[fresh reef]

Speaking of clothes. I wonder what’s ok for a concert in winter

[jade hearth]

I just plan on going in jogging bottoms and a t-shirt.

Depending on how warm it is inside the Arena, I would recommend bringing a jumper/coat along at least.. Since the concert ends late and it'll be freezing at around 10-11pm

[valid ember]

I have a long sleeved shirt I'll wear and I practically wear jeans whenever I go out so, it'll be dark outfits won't be seen 😂

[fresh reef]

Concert ends at 11?

[jade hearth]

Going by other concert timings. It may end earlier, or later. No clue with this one.

I wanna say around 10-11pm. Somewhere around there

[valid ember]

Yeah I heard around 11 but it's gunna be hectic to get out of there and back to the hotels

[jade hearth]

Imma go back to a bar, have some food and drinks. Then either take a train home or call family to drive an hour and a half to get me at 1am lmao

[valid ember]

Wow if I went to sleep then I'd be shattered in the morning

[jade hearth]

I have a week off from work, so will just sleep all day

[valid ember]

I come back on the friday like 12 because the megabus takes us back then and I have work the next day which is fun

[fresh reef]

I got the national express at 2 the next day. If people are drinking i can always call a uber😅😅

[valid ember]

I've never taken an uber, they are meant to be pretty cheap though I remember

[fresh reef]

It’s just a taxi

[valid ember]

Suppose so but they are much easier to get than taxis in london I think, I don't go there much so I'm unsure

[torpid perch]

Idk if blackpink are still in London you might find them in greggs or tesco

[jade hearth]

Imagine Jennie ordering a piping hot sausage roll from Greggs.

[frail wyvern]

That would be iconic

Imagine serving them

I would die

[torpid perch]

Lol I remember after HallyuPopFest people saw Kai from EXO just chilling in London

Hoping to see Lisa in a tesco while I buy my meal deal 🤞🏽

Also this concert has literally become the only thing I’m looking forward to the rest of the year 😭

[valid ember]

Wouldn't be surprised if they are using a tesco club card and buying like a monster for all the energy they'll need

[jade hearth]

Need that Tesco meal deal for the energy tbf

Need to advise them what is best to get

[winged fractal]

not me having school the next day o_o

[jade hearth]

Sick day maybe? lol

[winged fractal]

idk, i know for sure i have to miss 1 period to get ready for the concert on wed, and then i kinda have to go on thursday lol

[jade hearth]

Same here, Nothing else to look forward to this year tbh.

[lyric fulcrum]

see I want this but ;-; money

[fresh reef]

Serving them in tesco would be wild

[glossy star]

yh i just buy what i think looks good

[glossy star]

im going for baggy trousers, a t shirt and a leather jacket

[glossy star]

frrr

[glossy star]

i would ask them to sign the sandich box and i would treasure it forever

[cunning kite]

Oh, is it the Omocat collection?

[jade hearth]

Yess, love them. Wanna get Hololive Council merch next

[cunning kite]

The Omocat collection is really good, I want the Sana jacket, but they are always either out of stock or size

[jade hearth]

The Sana jacket seemed to go out of stock before release. Think they retired it after her announcement to graduate :(

Ooh, I can wear my Calliope Mori jacket since it's Pink and Black.

[cunning kite]

I think some people did get it, but they will probably not restock it after the graduation

[cunning kite]

[jade hearth]

[wraith bison]

LMAOO imagine ommmgg 😭😭🤭

[fresh reef]

I wonder if this is allowed

https://fouroverfour.jukely.com/culture/taking-concert-videos/

[frail wyvern]

Imagine if we weren’t

I would cry

[jade hearth]

You are allowed to, almost every concert has people filming

[fresh reef]

Filming the entirety or the vast majority of a concert might also be legally problematic. Several artists have gone out of their way to insist that their fans not capture their entire performance on video, sometimes going as far as banning them entirely. The trend started with the late Prince, but has also been picked up by artists like Childish Gambino, Guns N’ Roses, Alicia Keys, and The Lumineers.

😞😞

I probably wouldn’t but then again. I usually don’t watch much myself.

[jade hearth]

Tbh, most artists are fine with it

Guns and roses are very... Annoying as a band tbh.

Childish Gambino is meh, and Prince, love the bloke but was never much a fan of it.

Do not worry too much, may I ask, is this your first concert?

[astral coyote]

there are full blackpink concert videos on youtube so idk how serious they take it?

[fresh reef]

Nah I’ve been to 3 but i haven’t gone in like 4 years

[jade hearth]

Ahh same as me then pretty much.

Yeah, don't need to worry about filming

[fresh reef]

I’ll take photos. I suck at filming

[jade hearth]

I will try and film in 8k lol

But am definitely taking pics, hope I can get some good shots

[fresh reef]

I’m hoping you can get into the front row 🙏

[jade hearth]

I really hope so, I wanna wave at Lisa 😭😭

[fresh reef]

I’ve seen people say they are going to be camping over night there. 🙁🙁🙁

[frail wyvern]

Camping for what lmao

If they do, they will probably just get told to move

[fresh reef]

Camping to go in to the concert venue

[jade hearth]

They won't be allowed to camp, it's a shopping district.

[fresh reef]

Saw someone who camped for 20 hours for loona in London

[jade hearth]

They also won't be able to get into the O2 before anyone else anyway.

They'll be allowed into the Arena, but not to the seats or floor standing section.

So camping is pointless lol

[frail wyvern]

People can be so stupid 😂

[fresh reef]

I’m following someone on ig and they are talking about camping for blackpink and I’m wondering if i should or just arrive at noon

[frail wyvern]

If u aren’t standing I don’t think there’s any point getting there early unless u want to buy merch

[fresh reef]

But blink deluxe gives you merch early doesn’t it?

[frail wyvern]

I’m not sure but they probably do

[frail wyvern]

Not me being a basic bxh with my tickets that has no benefits 😭

[jade hearth]

You have the benefit of seeing these 4 Goddesses perform live. :D

[frail wyvern]

That is very true

[torpid perch]

Hopefully I’ll be able to distinguish whose a blink on the tube I’ll be taking to the O2 by the light sticks 😂

[jade hearth]

Anyone wearing blackpink merch, holding a lightstick, or just wearing black and pink is my guess honestly

[fresh reef]

I think I’ll just wear black and pink. Black jeans pink t shirt

Something like this would be nice.

[jade hearth]

That looks nice, shame I look nothing like the guy in the photo 😭😭

[frail wyvern]

💀💀

[fresh reef]

Same

I wonder should i get some face masks with me when i go to London

[jade hearth]

You'd fit in with the rest of London at night, so why not 😂

[glossy star]

I mean i almost see fa w masks as fashion idk if that's weird

[jade hearth]

Some can look really nice, So I wouldn't say it's weird. Face masks are quite cool tbh

[glossy star]

Yh ikr also I mean it doesn't hurt to be prepared cod there will be thousands of people in one place

[jade hearth]

Yeah, may have to remove it when entering The O2 but likely allowed to put it back on once inside

[fresh reef]

Oh? I thought England didn’t really care for masks anymore? I know here where i am, they don’t but i still wear mine.

[dark canopy]

maybe in central london they do, yh i’m from west london and we don’t really wear it here anymore

Was a joke about "Roadmen" in London with there balaclavas lol

[jade hearth]

If I had money I would buy the album ngl, I don't buy albums anymore but if I keep them in their original wrapping. May be worth like a couple more quid in the future lol

[fresh reef]

Haha i did sell a few albums for like 3x

[jade hearth]

Ugh, the wait to find out if they get Number 1. I hope they do, maybe then Radio in the UK will actually play them.

Such a great album too

[cunning kite]

They mostly don't, it is up to you

[frail wyvern]

When do we find out?

[fresh reef]

Isn’t it usually Sunday?

[jade hearth]

I think it is sunday, they have a countdown on the Official Charts site

[glossy star]

They deserve it

[jade hearth]

More than anyone

[jade hearth]

Just so you know, Royal mail plan on striking on the 30th Sept/1st Oct. Idk if that affects your order of the Lightstick though, just a heads up in case though

[frail wyvern]

Why is everybody going on strike 😭

[jade hearth]

Shit pay, in a shit economy where the rich just keep bending us all over a barrel, and our government decide that's fine as long as they get their cut of it.

This happened in the 80's as well under Thatcher and the Tories. Except it ended in mass riots across the country.

Search about the Brixton riots or ask your parents if you like.

[frail wyvern]

True true

[fresh reef]

Nah they did say the order isn’t going to be delivered until end of October

[jade hearth]

Oh good, glad

[fresh reef]

Yep. Still waiting for my lightstick and my signatures from blackpink to come.

[frail wyvern]

I’m waiting for my signatures and my BORN PINK Standard Digipacks with the signatures

[jade hearth]

I'm waiting on Pink Venom merch which is silly since Pink venom has sort of... Ended now :/

Why wait until october to ship that YG :<

[frail wyvern]

Lol

I basically ordered everything from the Blackpink website except the clothes

[forest venture]

@jade hearth logistics and staffing is a global mess right now, probably not their choice to have it delayed

[lucid ravine]

not sure how people are going to camp out at a venue that closes overnight

there's very little point queuing. There's multiple entrances and the entrance on your ticket is not directly into the arena. that will be where you go into the concourse (where all the food and drink places are). then the doors to the actual arena, where you can get to your seat or standing area, could open later

same with merch. the main merch stand is outside the arena and open to anyone, even if they don't have a ticket. not sure how they're going to give anyone priority to that

[jade hearth]

Let's just say, the promoters of this aren't that smart, and neither are the fans

But when you are obsessed enough to camp out overnight, you know they aren't smart

[fresh reef]

So i need to get there earlier to buy merch?

[jade hearth]

We'll be early enough I feel. We are getting there at 12pm aren't we lol

[fresh reef]

Are we actually meeting up 🥺🥺

[lucid ravine]

the main merch area is outside the arena entrance, but for some shows they also have a dedicated shop which is open all day but they will have a lot of stock. unless you wait until after the show its not likely they will be selling out of things

[fresh reef]

I was planning 1 but i can always leave earlier

[jade hearth]

If you'd like to :D

[fresh reef]

I thought there was one shop inside the venue itself? I know back 5 to 7 years ago when Scandal (a jrock band I love Tomomi-san her voice omg 😍😍😍) performed at the o2 they had a small merch section inside the venue).

[fresh reef]

Would love to.

[lucid ravine]

the biggest one is outside. there's a couple of smaller ones inside and sometimes a shop in the empty unit next to the box office (on the left as you look at the main entrance to the entire complex)

[jade hearth]

Maybe the priority is to the smaller ones inside

Could have more exclusive merch there possibly

[fresh reef]

Hopefully

[jade hearth]

I hope so

[glossy star]

I say let's just get it further in advance

[frail wyvern]

I could tell youse how everything is since I’m going on the 30th

[ripe comet]

When does the uk charts update?

[jade hearth]

1 day 20 hours

[ripe comet]

Been keeping my pc on everyday streaming the album

[fresh reef]

Oooh looking forward to your updates

[ripe comet]

For deluxe album I could not find the white edition for UK release

[jade hearth]

I would stream it constantly, but I don't wanna burn out on the songs

I feel you can listen to songs just a bit too much ngl

[fresh reef]

I’ve been streaming it every time i got since it came out

pink venom literally jumped all the way to my number 1 most listened song in like a week xD. I’m obsessed and i just keep playing it.

[jade hearth]

I am a metal fan first and foremost, SOAD especially ahaha

[cunning kite]

I understand, Amen

I started with punk rock and eventually moved to metal

[jade hearth]

Started with Dubstep, Skrillex to be exact. Saw he did a song with KoRn, bought their Path of Totality album

And then branched out from there

[cunning kite]

The first one I listened to was I think 21st Century Breakdown

[timber lily]

soad are goated

also linkin park TT

Only reason I was willing to spend so much on tickets to see BP, is I always put off going to see LP until it was too late to do so :(

[jade hearth]

Unfortunately I don't see prices getting any cheaper.

[frail wyvern]

Thank god we got our tickets 💀

[jade hearth]

I think you have to buy both too, if they are reselling 2

But there goes my chances of going both days aha

[flint perch]

Anyone knows where do i buy the tickers?

Tickets

Im visiting london next month and i wanna attend both concerts

[frail wyvern]

axs

[jade hearth]

AXS resale

But they are insanely expensive, hope you have a minimum of 2k just for 1 concert lol

[cunning kite]

AXS resale is that expensive, I thought they cap it at 10% over the original ticket price when you resell

[jade hearth]

The screenshots that Dom has been posting are from AXS resale IIRC. Looks like it anyway, could be ticketmaster idk

[cunning kite]

Those might be AXS premium resale

Assuming a 10% hike, the base price would have been £1050

[jade hearth]

Ahh yeah, true

[jade hearth]

Wasn't expecting that to come up when binge watching Korean street food videos lol

[fresh reef]

No it’s axs the ones I’ve been posting. I was hoping to snag an extra day

[fresh reef]

Those are literally just tickets you can buy now. Otherwise you’ll need to join the waiting list

[jade hearth]

I want an extra day, but the price 😭

[frail wyvern]

I got lucky getting tickets for both dates

I should have gone for the O2 premium presale, rather than Blink Deluxe. Could have gone both nights and got seats aha

[frail wyvern]

What do u get in the Blink Deluxe again?

[fresh reef]

How much was the o2 premium again?

[jade hearth]

Soundcheck, early access to the merch sold there, and something else I don't remember ahah

[jade hearth]

£240-270 per ticket 😭

So for the price of our ticket, we could have gotten 2 😭

[fresh reef]

Wtf

I want refund

I should not have bought weverse. That itself could have given me the two nights

[jade hearth]

I'll never give Weverse money until they admit they just dislike the UK and stop blaming Covid for not shipping here anymore.

[fresh reef]

Too bad one of my 4th Gen ults is under the company that owns weverse so I’m inclined to buy it

I just hate the fact i can’t buy for different groups all in one order. Like let me buy blackpink and le sserafim please 😞😞

[jade hearth]

Such a weird app and marketplace ngl.

Me and a friend are planning on going to Sokollab K-pop store whilst we're there and hit up a Korean BBQ place called Yori that's nearby afterwards that isn't too expensive by London standards.

I’m so happy we managed to do this for them

[ripe comet]

Why are the uk chart rules so strict

[fresh reef]

Is the uk always been like this

[jade hearth]

UK have always been strict, it's why it's harder to get platinum/diamond albums and songs in the UK, whereas almost everyone has one in the US lol

Also the reason why Michael Jackson has had multiple number 1's in the US, but not in the UK. He got barely any here, even though he is one of the biggest artists to grace the planet.

[glossy star]

Ik it's so unfair to them

[jade hearth]

I do think us being strict makes it so much better that they hit number 1.

Makes the achievement much more special

[jade hearth]

How about both days ahaha

Since I won't be there on the 30th lol

Now just gotta get Shut Down into the Top 20. Which is even harder than the Album 😭

[ripe comet]

does that just come down to streaming

[lucid ravine]

the UK charts are designed to reflect genuine sales, not radioplay, chart manipulation by fanbases, record labels releasing albums on 101 formats or anything else designed to artificially increase chart position. its not perfect but its better than a lot of other countries where the artist that sells the most isn't always number 1

[jade hearth]

I like that they stop chart manipulation from fanbases, because I feel the numbers we see don't prove anything

Like yes, BP have a music video with 90mil views in 24hours, wasn't 90mil people though, Likely a few thousand just streaming it non stop. Fanbases isn't as large as we think because of that

[fresh reef]

So this is all geninue for their a album to get number 1 ?

[jade hearth]

Pretty much, yeah. Streaming is taken into account but not much

[fresh reef]

No wonder their concert sold out so quickly

[lucid ravine]

its about as genuine as you'll get. its a battle between allowing streams and knowing that streams are the easiest to manipulate as one person can just leave the album playing 24/7 on multiple devices they aren't listening to

its tricky as obv you want to allow genuine streams and there's always the argument of how many album streams should equal a physical sale

a lot of other countries, such as the US, have charts largely based on radio plays so not a reflection of sales in any way

[jade hearth]

I like our system, makes it more organic and shows an actual growth in fanbase.

This shows BP's fanbase has grown, even with a 2 year hiatus.

[frail wyvern]

I definitely prefer our system if it works like that

[fresh reef]

Just wish they played more international songs rather than English but the whole uk would be at my throat

[frail wyvern]

100% agree

Some international songs just hit different

[jade hearth]

They really do, and it'd be nice to get variety

Get fed up of hearing Ed Sheeran all the time D:

[fresh reef]

They just play that all the time that i just get bored of the radio

[jade hearth]

Ed just bores me in general tbh, most of his songs are slow and have no... Excitement. His latest ones are better but overplayed

[lucid ravine]

need a k-pop station, its about the only type of station we don't have

guess they think because a lot of fans are younger they won't listen to radio

[fresh reef]

Time to set one up

There are a lot of older kpop fans but most people are using streaming services

[jade hearth]

I barely listen to the radio tbh, only at work because we have to

[lucid ravine]

thats teh problem isn't it, most people don't listen to the radio

the better option would be a kpop show once a week on radio 1. more chance of everyone tuning in a couple of hours a week than listening to a 24/7 station

Capital used to do an hour of Dubstep when that got popular, so surprised they haven't got a K-pop show yet

[fresh reef]

That’s because they might not know much about kpop or alternative not have a clue how to get one started while dubstep was easier

Honestly Americans had it sorted out so much quicker and is why even target and walmart has kpop

[jade hearth]

America is an easier market to break into though tbf.

A lot of people I know class Kpop as a kids genre. Idk why

[frail wyvern]

Because people are stupid

I really don’t get how people see Kpop as a kids genre

[jade hearth]

I can maybe see why, like I love ITZY (a few of their songs) but they do have a sort of childish sound with most of their songs to my ears.

[magic parrot]

All of Itzy are also really funny and make loads of content, i'm a big fan haha

[fresh reef]

music is music at the end of the day and kpop has been trying to get into the west for a very long time. Even back in second Gen.with act like 2ne1 psy and snsd.

[glossy star]

I love some of their songs but idk sneakers wasn't their best imo

[jade hearth]

Absolutely love them tbh

[jade hearth]

Agreed, wasn't a massive fan. It's ok, but I prefer their JP stuff the most. Sounds more mature

[frail wyvern]

Sneakers was a choice lol

[lucid ravine]

sneakers was stuck in my head for weeks

[jade hearth]

Same, kept singing the chorus constantly lol

[magic parrot]

Rac3r should of been the title track imo

[jade hearth]

I do like Free Fall, would have been a decent title track

[timber lily]

itzy seem to be deemed "teen crush" as opposed to "girl crush" which i can see, i def get the more youthful sound from them (as opposed to e.g. blackpink and everglow)

i didn't love the sneakers EP unfortunately tho racer was kinda cool

but blah blah blah is an absolute banger

[jade hearth]

Blah Blah Blah and Voltage are their best tracks imho.

I'd prefer them making those sort of songs, but I guess "teen crush" is JYP's goal with them in Korea.

Sneakers outsold

[torpid perch]

I think the first itzy song I heard was mafia in the morning and loved it

And then watched Yeji’s dance cover of “river”and fell down the rabbit hole

Honestly it always starts with me saying “I’m just gonna learn their names” and then before you know it Iv spent all my money 😂

[jade hearth]

I heard Dalla Dalla when it released and surprisingly liked it, followed them from then on but never really kept up to date with anything kpop. Ngl I still don't really know any groups besides Itzy, BP, Aespa, and G-idle.
Even BTS I don't really know who they are, except that their fanbase is almost as bad as Football Twitter

[timber lily]

i liked loco a lot and some of their b sides, icy grew on me too, but i think i’m with ya on their japanese tracks being goated

am i allowed to try and convert you to our lordesses (???) and saviours dreamcatcher

[jade hearth]

Never heard of them, will give them a try. I am willing to try any type of music tbh, I think I have one of the most varied musical tastes on the planet lol

[timber lily]

o

https://youtu.be/z4t9LLq1Nk0 this is their most recent comeback

https://youtu.be/PEKkdIT8JPM but this one is my fave fave

their older stuff is more jrocky but later they shifted a bit more towards rock/metal mixed with other genres

the girls are fantastic singers, rappers and dancers (as you’d expect from kpop of course) and i am just begging they tour europe

their main dancer was in a band at school and in one interview seemed to not know much pop from those years so i’d like to believe she’s into her harder music genres - no idea if true but i’d continue believing it until proven wrong 🤣

but yeah def a group with a different sound, i love them so much (shocking i know)

[jade hearth]

I like this a lot

[timber lily]

[cunning kite]

They have a heavier darker sound and I love it

Odd eye is probably my favorite

[timber lily]

odd eye is a banger too

my fave from the dystopia comebacks for sure

[jade hearth]

This one is also extremely good.

Thanks for the recommendation, love them aha

[timber lily]

always welcome

[lyric fulcrum]

I’m acc stuck between YYY and HTL as my fave songs

[jade hearth]

I have a hot take that people on here would hate me for lol

I don't particularly like HTL, idk why just not for me I guess.

YYY is great though

[forest venture]

YYY has the comfy feel that bigbang always has

[lyric fulcrum]

I fr get why, it’s a super slow song and normally I HATE those, but I like HDL

I don’t like Typa Girl as much as everyone else does

It’s good but it’s not my fave

[forest venture]

I will check out the casette version on Sunday, the retro songs might song even better

[lyric fulcrum]

The end of YYY is so good

Like I have it on repeat rn

[tight star]

Nice to see some fellow DC fans here too!

[magic parrot]

@jade hearth Another group you might like that never got enough attention imo is Everglow:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoYKBAajoyo
Unfortunately they seem to be going through tough times atm and their company isn't saying anything :(

[glossy star]

First itzy song I heard was wannabe

I rlly liked it

[jade hearth]

Wannabe was great. Such a bop lol

[jade hearth]

I will try them out, thank you.

Shame their label seems to be a bit... Shady

[lucid ravine]

what's happening with them? so many groups seem to have problems with their companies

[tight star]

Most don't have enough money to keep on top of operating costs usually

[lyric fulcrum]

YES EVERGLOW IS SO GOOD

[glossy star]

Apart from blackpink I rate Twice

I love many of their songs same for bts

[frail wyvern]

Yeah I like TWICE and BTS as well

Only the toxic blinks don’t

[iron onyx]

i listen to a few songs by twice, and i grew out from listening to bts
i listen to stray kids, ateez, the rose, txt mostly

oh and wonhooo

ooo and xdinary heroes

love em

[timber lily]

ateeeez

[wraith creek]

anyone know if the lightstick v2 will change colour like it does to the audio at the concert coz on the instructions it says in concert mode u have to click power 6 times to disable concert mode

soz its so random

[ripe comet]

take a look at this video, I hope it helps with your question. https://youtu.be/-nphE7ia9AQ?t=186

[lyric fulcrum]

rllly want one but moneys

[lyric fulcrum]

theres so much cute bp merch I want for the concert but money 😭😭

[glossy star]

I'm gonna skip on merch for now but I'll just get a lightstick online I swear I've seen them for like 30 quid

[jade hearth]

Imma get a lightstick, maybe some more merch on payday

[ripe comet]

Same I got paid a few days ago, still have October and November payday. Will have more then enough for merch

[jade hearth]

I get paid on the 30th, even with paying back the loan for the ticket. I got a few hundred to get some sweet ass merch and the lightstick.

[ripe comet]

Did you find a outfit to wear yet

I was going to get a pink Celine hoodie, the price changed my mind fast

[jade hearth]

BP merch, and my Mori Calliope jacket (since it is black and pink), and my hugo boss shoes since they are black.

[wraith creek]

will it turn multiple colours like it usually does in the concert in dec/nov

coz it says something abt it being pink in the manual so I think it's that

[ripe comet]

most likely

[glossy star]

I could do the same but then I remembered I'm in school and don't have a job 😒

[forest venture]

@ripe comet maybe look for bootleg version of the hoodie

[jade hearth]

Not able to get a small part time one at all?

[glossy star]

I'm in the process of looking for one

It's just A level seems impossible with the workload

But I'll try

[jade hearth]

Aww, well even if you can't find one. Good luck with the A-levels, I can imagine the workload is quite high :(

Good luck with the job search too, hope you are able to find one you enjoy.

[glossy star]

Tysm

If only that job was blackpinks personal assistant

Hahh

[jade hearth]

The stress of that would kill me aha

Trying to do everything perfect like they do 😭

[fresh reef]

How many people are buying lightsticks 👀

[jade hearth]

I definitely need one aha

Or 2, 1 for each hand ahaha

[glossy star]

Or 4 one for each limb lmao

[glossy star]

But working for them would motivate me to be perfect too

[jade hearth]

True true.

I wish I could be as perfect as they are.

[torpid perch]

Ugh watching all of the fan sign videos and wishing it was me 😭

[jade hearth]

Ikr, really makes me wonder why they can't do this at the tour for the VIP's :<

[fresh reef]

I want the merch but weverse don’t ship

And if i was to buy from weverse i might end up buying le sserafim so there goes my plan on buying merch at the concert

[jade hearth]

I'd buy from Blackpink's official site, but it's not that good ngl. The merch is a bit meh.

[astral coyote]

right? they need better designers for their merch they do them dirty literally every comeback

also have any of you bought the v2 lightstick from amazon? im not sure if it’s legit or not

[jade hearth]

I request better merch on their official store lol Where can I complain lol

[astral coyote]

literally lmaooo the only merch ive bought has been from their H&M collabs it’s wayyy better

[jade hearth]

I saw a listing on Amazon for a lightstick with the brand "YG Select", when I clicked on that. Apparently YG sells Yamaha pumps too, we now know what they were doing when BP were on Hiatus

[fresh reef]

The photocard and cd player would be very nice

[jade hearth]

I would very much like both of those tbh

[forest venture]

I can't rationalize paying 150 for a portable cd player but it's a neat product with the bluetooth

[timber lily]

anyone got a link handy?

[jade hearth]

I would love a link to the CD Player?

[fresh reef]

https://share.weverseshop.io/static/shares/sale/10006

[fresh reef]

^

[forest venture]

also does mp3's from a usb stick if I understand the icon correctly

[fresh reef]

Yep it says it can

[ripe comet]

have you seen the album kits

[jade hearth]

Ahh it's on Weverse, I'd never buy anything from Weverse until they apologise for doing us UK blinks dirty.

[fresh reef]

Nope

[fresh reef]

I hate hybe but i love their artists 🙁

[ripe comet]

seen this on youtube

[timber lily]

tyyy

[jade hearth]

Damn, that album looks nice.

That looks really good

😭😭😭

[wraith creek]

the uk shop has some merch but uts kinda eh

[wraith creek]

bought both of my lightsticks from ebay last year and they were both official

[jade hearth]

Yeah, I saw the UK shop. Very poor tbh, not the worst merch I have seen but not good merch either.

The H&M merch I have seen that they sell now, is also not something I would wear, since it seems to be aimed at girls and not guys :(

[fresh reef]

Isn’t most of the clothing merch aimed at girls?

[jade hearth]

Yes :( Almost like they think they have no male fans 😭

[fresh reef]

Yeah we don’t exist 🥺🥺

I wonder would they play shutdown on the radio now. I know my local radio station tends to play songs from the charts

[fresh reef]

We have better things to buy 😔😔😔

[jade hearth]

If we can afford it anymore, our pound has just plummeted 😭

[jade hearth]

I think Radio 1 may, as they sometimes play the top 40.

Capital as well, play it every Sunday IIRC

[fresh reef]

Is been falling since we left the eu and it’s going to keep falling for a while. I personally don’t see it stopping

[fresh reef]

More people can listen to blackpink 😏😏

[jade hearth]

I hope so, I would love some radio play for them. Their songs are radio friendly, and are great tracks. I haven't listened to Radio 1 in years but i'd start to again if they did play them

[fresh reef]

Are we sure we are listening to the same album 🥲🥲. Half the songs in born pink has cusses

[jade hearth]

They'll edit them for radio lol

If they can play Super Freaky Girl on the radio, they can play any BP song ahaha

[fresh reef]

It won’t sound the same 😞😞 but than again I’ve heard Eminem older songs and those don’t sound nearly as good on the radio

[jade hearth]

Eminem always sounded terrible on the radio back in the day, always made me wonder why they bothered lol

[wraith creek]

i have to admit,, the US shop is way better but the shipping prices are like 30

YG select is worse too

tried to buy from them for the album and it would've costed me like 60£

[jade hearth]

Looking at the US shop, even that isn't too good.

Do they purposefully make merch we wouldn't wanna wear or buy, to make it more collectable? lol

[fresh reef]

Hmmm are you supposed to use your merch?

[jade hearth]

I usually do, as I see no point in buying stuff without using it. I feel it's a waste of my money if I just let things sit in a cupboard.

I also don't really sell stuff, as I see no reason to sell second hand, I would rather give things like that away. (like my old 2080ti, I gave to my friend after I upgraded my PC).

[ripe comet]

The new 4080 is overpriced, I wanted to upgrade from my 1080

[jade hearth]

Really good upgrade from the 1080 though.

Idk how feasible an upgrade for me would be ;-; 3090 to a 4090, apparently there is a big difference between them when it comes to Ray Tracing, but not many games have actually utilised that yet.

[ripe comet]

I have been holding of playing games with Ray tracing until I upgrade my card

Plus I'm waiting for real tests to come out, not ones made by nvidia

[jade hearth]

Is there a point in getting a lightstick

Wave them in the air like you just don't care

[glossy star]

And it's memorabilia

Also a nice souvenir

[jade hearth]

I wanna get the stand, and then also buy the ITZY light ring.

Keep them forever and be happy knowing I own both.

[fresh reef]

Crying with my vega 56 😕😕

[jade hearth]

I wanna get an old Voodoo 3000 GPU tbh

[normal hatch]

what is that?

[ripe comet]

kit album

[fresh reef]

Fun fact mama is actually on the day blackpink are here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYMplzCDIzA

[jade hearth]

I saw that. Who cares about Korean award shows, global domination is better haha

[timber lily]

not on a weekend? 🙀

[jade hearth]

Maybe they did it on purpose lol

[buoyant helm]

blackpink are too good for the mamas 🤡

[timber lily]

i love the performances tho

my ateez gateway

[fresh reef]

Nope Tuesday and Wednesday. Blackpink are here on the Wednesday and Thursday I don’t think they would have time to fly over there and come to the UK

[fresh reef]

Just got this 😭😭😭

[jade hearth]

😭😭 thankfully that is only an extra week

[torpid perch]

YG really trying to emphasise that blackpink are global now 😂😭

[frail wyvern]

Same 😭

[fresh reef]

I had 4 of those emails about each signed 😩😩

[fresh reef]

Is that a good or bad thing?

[torpid perch]

MAMA and YG have a pretty notoriously well known relationship for not getting along. Blackpink also held a concert in Japan during MAMA for their 2019 tour as well

I remember the time G dragon dissed MAMA in his rap performing AT the award show lol 💀

To me it just emphasises that BP really aren’t restricted to korea and never really were 😂 and I guess YG is trying to emphasise the same thing

[fresh reef]

It just feels so wrong since they are one of the biggest in asia

[torpid perch]

Yeah the downside for me is the amazing performances they’ve had there in the past, their 2018 performance of DDDD is still one of my favourite live performances of theirs

I think it’s just YG throwing shade but could be something else I’m not sure

[silver siren]

anyone know if these are legit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254445486648

[jade hearth]

68000+ feedback is good, not sure if real though. Easy to fake these

[fresh reef]

I’m pretty sure their fake if you look at the description it does say fan made goods

[fresh reef]

Hahaha yg has always done so. Blackpink literally outsold mama a few years back

Mama is held at osaka this year

What we get here and is already sold out.

[jade hearth]

Kyocera dome is 55000

Only 36000 when it is a baseball event

[fresh reef]

55k?

I wonder if blackpink did Wembley could they outsell

[frail wyvern]

100%

They could

[jade hearth]

I think they could now that they have a Number 1

The sold out the Kyocera dome twice, so 110k. Could easily sell 1 show at Wembley, granted Wembley is only around 70-75k when concerts are on.

Also sold out the Tokyo Dome. Popular in Japan :D

Hi can. Please someone tell me where to buy an affordable and trustworthy lightstick from Spain ❤️ pd im ot4

Sorry english is not my first language

[forest venture]

Isn't wembley impossible to book with all the major artists that are doing covid reruns of shows this year?

[jade hearth]

Wembley wasn't available for those 2 days yeah

[forest venture]

O2 probably has much better audio right?

[jade hearth]

Broncos vs Jaguars on the 31st.

Shinedown on the 1st.

[forest venture]

Most massive stadiums sound like giant concrete bowls

[jade hearth]

The acoustics and audio depend.

Tottenham stadium is quite decent for audio (if you actually use the audio we provide, and not do what Guns 'n' Roses did, and use their own without properly testing it beforehand).

Wembley is apparently quite nice sound wise for performances.

The O2 being an indoor arena, helps it a lot when it comes to Audio but in some seats it is apparently a bit poor. Again, depends on how well the act has set up their equipment beforehand

[forest venture]

Last tour they had pretty good audio even in the small Dutch venue not know for great audio

[cunning kite]

I take it you are a spurs fan?

[jade hearth]

👀 Yes

[forest venture]

Have you ever seen a 50k scale concert live?

I have seen football matches in such places but a concert would seem insane to me (largest for me was 8k)

[cunning kite]

It would seem we have opposing interests 👀

[jade hearth]

I have been to Rock am ring, once. A very long time ago

Granted, not in a Stadium

[jade hearth]

What would these opposing interests be? Please don't say Arsenal

[cunning kite]

Yes 👀

[forest venture]

Riot in blackpink chat

[jade hearth]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jade hearth]

See you Saturday ahahahahaha

[forest venture]

Maybe try the Spanish chat @jade hearth

[jade hearth]

We would help, but we are also trying to find some that are affordable :(

[forest venture]

I gave up and got one at the merch stand last concert

[jade hearth]

Thank you but that chat is dead

[forest venture]

Maybe amazon has some official ones

[jade hearth]

Imma just buy one from Sokollab, £60 is a lot but I want the lightstick lol

💀💀

[forest venture]

Or a local kpop/video game store

The V2 will not be that cheap anyway because of the Bluetooth and multicolour

[cunning kite]

Yep, can't wait

[forest venture]

V1 is so cheap because its made very cheaply

[jade hearth]

Honestly, gonna be a really good game hopefully. You guys are playing amazing football, and we are so far unbeaten and seem difficult to beat (even though we are poor atm). I look forward to seeing who comes out on top. Hopefully all our best players are fit for the game

[cunning kite]

Yep, it is shaping up to be a pretty good game, Kane and Jesus in form

[jade hearth]

And Richarlison hitting form, and Son hitting form too :D

[fresh reef]

Lmao people actually play this

https://youtube.com/shorts/KspjC6kwkCw?feature=share

[jade hearth]

Do anything for £5 right about now 😭

[glossy star]

https://tenor.com/view/money-mr-krabs-gif-18326632

[timber lily]

i would definitely shout kpop group names for a fiver

[buoyant helm]

omg yes 😭 😭

[jade hearth]

Payday = Lightstick day :D woo

[glossy star]

Imma just buy a 20 pound one online

[timber lily]

i'm wondering if i want one at all still

ateez just announced their v2 as well so i kinda want that now

[jade hearth]

Get both :P

[timber lily]

but being a responsible adult 😭

my friends also just convinced me to go to arctic monkeys in june so

[jade hearth]

Ooh, I hope you enjoy :D

My friend keeps trying to convince me to go to Gojira in February.

I gotta get ITZY's light ring if it's in stock anywhere. Seems to be sold out 😭

[timber lily]

thank you! it's in emirates stadium which i didn't even know existed

[jade hearth]

Ahh, the Arsenal Stadium.

Nice stadium honestly, acoustics can be good there. So you should enjoy yourself a lot

[iron onyx]

https://kpopmart.com/itzy/14233-itzy-official-light-ring.html

here c:

it’s in stock

I’ve bought from there before.. all official :D

[jade hearth]

Thank youuu

[timber lily]

ngl this is a great idea

well, assuming it doubles as a lightstick?

[jade hearth]

$41.90 for the light ring, $40 for the delivery. I am going to cry omfg

Will I pay that though? Yes, I will.

[timber lily]

you could maybe find a group order on twitter?

[jade hearth]

Hell nah, I bought it lol I don't mind tbh, was just surprised to see the price

[fresh reef]

Good Lord I remember when kpopmart only charged me for a fiver for delivery 10 years or so ago

[jade hearth]

Everyone hates us nowadays so charge us extortionate amounts 😭😭

Still, I got my Light Ring and my Light Stick today. So I am happy

[timber lily]

anyone remember what the standing area prices were like? the original ones, not the scalpers

[fresh reef]

Standing was between 143 to 181

[timber lily]

ahh thanks!

[jade hearth]

Miss the non-scalper prices :(

[torpid perch]

Gone but not forgotten

[jade hearth]

They'll come back one day, next concert lol

[fresh reef]

Pink venom and thg needs to be in their setlist. I’m not ready to cry but jisoo vocals in thg 😭

[jade hearth]

What is that from?

And I think every song they released could be in their setlist tbh.

They don't have many songs, and they are planning a 2 and a half hour show.

[timber lily]

oooh

https://receiptify.herokuapp.com/

[jade hearth]

I did the last 6 months for mine lol

And chose Last.fm as my real name is on my spotify 😭

[timber lily]

sneakers into your mom is a vibe 🤣

[jade hearth]

😂 I love Your Mom, such a great song. Thanks for that Serj

[timber lily]

this is my 6 months

deja vu has such a chokehold on me

[fresh reef]

My six month. I swear I’m not addicted to le sserafim

[jade hearth]

Ahh, sod it. Enjoy my name aha

My 6 month according to Spotify on this

[fresh reef]

My all time

[jade hearth]

Shocked that a BlackPink song got into my all time, after only 2 months lol

[ripe comet]

I hope they sing forever young

[jade hearth]

Forever Young is a great Cold War song, was actually a song about the possibility of Nuclear war with the USSR.

Such a wonderfully powerful song

[ripe comet]

and of course DDU-DU DDU-DU

does it say anywhere how long the concert is

[jade hearth]

2 and a half hours, think it says on the AXS site. I remember reading it, and I think it was there that I saw it.

[ripe comet]

that would be every song

[timber lily]

these are my all time

[timber lily]

I-

[jade hearth]

Guess ya didn't know that?

[timber lily]

today i learnt

[jade hearth]

https://genius.com/Alphaville-forever-young-lyrics

Good song though, even if the lyrics were about a very scary looming threat at the time.

[timber lily]

ahhhh

okay i get it now lmao

[fresh reef]

I see an insomina and forever?

[timber lily]

insomnia for sure, is forever the everglow fandom name?

[fresh reef]

It indeed is

Everglow was actually the kpop group that pulled me back into kpop haha.

[timber lily]

i do like their title tracks, haven't properly dived into their discography tho

but i love mia's voice

[fresh reef]

You really should. My favourite song from them. https://youtu.be/b07oGN2Klrk

[timber lily]

oh i lied, i do love nighty night

[fresh reef]

I loved yiren 😭 but Yuehua gosh i hate them

[timber lily]

yeah where even is she now 😭

oh god, mia making me wonder if i wanna make my hair blue

[fresh reef]

China debured as a soloist and actress

[timber lily]

soloist too? :O

[fresh reef]

Yes

I absolutely hate what’s Yuehu is doing

[timber lily]

yeah it was very weird, i thought pirate did really well?

so the radio silence hasn't been great

[fresh reef]

Oh it did

[timber lily]

(First is still their best track tho )

[fresh reef]

But Yuehua said yiren was going back to china for family and then we were told she’s going to educate. But we get actress soloist. I want everglow ot6 comeback

[timber lily]

yeahhh i'd love an everglow comeback

[fresh reef]

They came over back in July and i wanted to go. Yet it was just ot5

Aisha had to sit out I think it was a month ago due to health yet e we haven’t had an update of yiren going back to Korea 😭

[timber lily]

yeahhh

i really wonder if we'll get a good kpop flex next year tho

[fresh reef]

I’m already saving money for it. I want le sserafim and purple kiss. Give me one of the two and I’ll buy immediately.

[timber lily]

oh i'd love to see them too

also billlie are one of my fave rookie groups

gidle and dreamcatcher too of course, can they tour europe i beg TT

[fresh reef]

Didn’t idle go to germany or dreamcatcher?

[timber lily]

they did, i was considering kpopflex but decided against it in the end

[fresh reef]

You should have gone

I don’t follow idle but my goodness id die to see soyeon. Her rap 🥹🥹🥹

[timber lily]

ehh too expensive for 20 minute sets

[fresh reef]

They were just twenty minute?

[timber lily]

and i saw ateez around that time so that was nice

yeah it sounded like the groups didn’t have that much time

[fresh reef]
