🇬🇧 London (November 30 - December 1, 2022)

[wraith creek]

ITS SO DEPRESSING

my mom has the same height as me tho

my dad is 6'3 and my sister is 5'10

[upbeat pasture]

ah. that's one of the reasons I tend to not go to standing, especially not at the front. I'm 6'2 so I'm conscious of if I'm blocking people's view

[wraith creek]

6'2

😭😭😭

so lucky

[unreal mortar]

Damm, you would pretty much the same height where my phone was when i recorded xD

[wraith creek]

LMAOAOAOAOA

it's so depressing

[lyric fulcrum]

😭

[wraith creek]

so I have to wear shoes that make me look taller

i call it natural growth

[upbeat pasture]

gonna have to bring a step ladder

[wraith creek]

YEAH

good idea ngl

if only i could bring ine

[upbeat pasture]

or buy these xD

[lyric fulcrum]

omg thank god I got the end of Yeah Yeah Yeah

slaps

thought I didnt have it for a sec 😭

[wraith creek]

YES PLEASE

LMAO

[upbeat pasture]

I enjoyed when they did Tally, getting people to sing along to it

[timber lily]

NEED

[lyric fulcrum]

I got all of Tally on video

[wraith creek]

i got thw whole encore on cam but it's blurry and u can't see much because I was just waving my phone around and jumping

[upbeat pasture]

god damn, if you were a girl I would understand the same height as your mum. but for your sister to be 5'10. you just got unlucky

[unreal mortar]

Yeah, when they said they wanted to ear everyone sing I was like "Of course you do... I SAY F*** IT WHEN I FEEL IT" xD

[wraith creek]

i am a girl does that count

😭😭

[upbeat pasture]

money was fun to sing along to aswell.

[upbeat pasture]

just be taller. it's that simple

[unreal mortar]

Oh yeah that was just a vibe on its own

[wraith creek]

I got everyone silent on camera should I send it

[wraith creek]

i wish it works like that ngl, ima buy myself 50 of those shoe insole things that makes u tall and get those boots u sent LMAO

[unreal mortar]

Don't know if you guys know, there was someone who recorded everything in a really good quality

The full show

[wraith creek]

i recorded all mine in 4k/8k but when I send to discord it goes to like 240p

[upbeat pasture]

the boots are like £100 apparently. Bargain really xD

[wraith creek]

its fffine it's worth it to be tall

[unreal mortar]

Can I post links?

[upbeat pasture]

yeah I got the same problem

[wraith creek]

yea I did it before

[upbeat pasture]

[wraith creek]

there used to be a way to turn off compression but discord removed it

[unreal mortar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-bWKlqK7eU

Here it is, I've seen it this morning it was just goosebumps all around

[upbeat pasture]

I would've thought nitro would improve the video quality though

[wraith creek]

nope it still compresses all my files

i might post some of mine on yt but u can hear me and the people next to me screaming so much

[upbeat pasture]

dw, I did some screaming on mine. Despite being a dude, I sound like a little girl in it xD

[wraith creek]

LMAO

[unreal mortar]

It's blackpink who wouldn't right? xD

[wraith creek]

I sound like I was like 5 because I lost my voice and I have a cold

and the thing is

i could've snuck water in because they didn't even security check me or my bag

so I ended up bringing a bunch of chocolate in

[upbeat pasture]

in a clip, my friend was shouting for Jisoo when it went silent. He had a massive voice crack in it and it's hilarious xD

[wraith creek]

and making myself more thirsty

[unreal mortar]

I only got some crackers on my bag, but ate them in line

Didn't have them inside

[upbeat pasture]

security was surprisingly lacking. Like didn't even bat an eye to me or my friends because we didn't have bags.

[wraith creek]

bro my friend went in day 1 and she sounded like a kettle Whistle when she screamed

she was in a box luckily a bit more comfortable

[wraith creek]

😭😭😭

[upbeat pasture]

did you guys see the guy in the neon jacket in the back seats?

they were pretty cool. loved the jacket. was changing colours and etc.

[unreal mortar]

I looked back sometimes but didn't see that

[wraith creek]

YEAH THEY CAUGHT MY EYE

[upbeat pasture]

I wonder where they got it from. I want one xD

the thing that surprises me the most is, my ticket was only like £95 because my friend is on o2, so they have o2 priority. When I was buying some merch, I got speaking to 2 girls behind me. Apparently they paid £600 each for their general admission ticket. the exact same as mine. For more than the most expensive VIP package...

[wraith creek]

omg what

600

[upbeat pasture]

yep. resale tickets

[wraith creek]

oh my

im uploading rose solo on my yt

[upbeat pasture]

I reckon they paid over a grand each total since they were also taking a train from Glasgow to London

[wraith creek]

u can hear me and my friend screaming

[upbeat pasture]

I'll make sure to keep an ear out for the screaming

[wraith creek]

NOOOOO

💔💔💔💔

[upbeat pasture]

xD

[inner drum]

Glad this trend is still going on

[wraith creek]

YES

[inner drum]

Kept up every show

[wraith creek]

i can prob send give me a sec

[inner drum]

55K people going silent in Philippine Arena is gonna go crazy

You can really hear the silent with like the 12-16k at all the other arenas. Imagine 55k

[upbeat pasture]

hey, o2 is 20k xD

but yeah 55k gonna be mad

[wraith creek]

it was so cool everyone was cheering so much after it

and when the songs said blackpink or blackpink is the revolution

[inner drum]

I took off some K for each arena since it's not all the way around but the floor was packed packed so 20K probably right

[upbeat pasture]

everyone singing blackpink in your area gave me goosebumps

[inner drum]

Kinda wonder if the rest of Europe is gonna pack the floor now

[hardy hornet]

almost didnt recognize @inner drum with the new color

[inner drum]

LMAO

[upbeat pasture]

apparently we were the biggest they had so far. so hopefully the rest of Europe does the same if not, better

[inner drum]

I don't really like it lol

[hardy hornet]

it makes ur name like not visible lol

[inner drum]

Ya biggest arena show for sure. They finished their US tour in a stadium, little more than the O2

I removed it lmao

[wraith creek]

yep

[inner drum]

Just a bit worried about how floors turn out. US did it right, sell less GA tickets so it's not super crowded/dangerous/a fire hazard

[hardy hornet]

yea i saw how crowded floor was in some videos/pictures

it seemed pretty tight over there

[wraith creek]

yeah it looked packed from where I was sitting

it was also like a sea of phones

[inner drum]

It looked like it went all the way back

Where as all US shows, it went halfway and that's with all the GA/VIP tickets tryna get as close as possible and then the handful of people a distance away and dancing

[wraith creek]

it did go all the way back

[inner drum]

[hardy hornet]

[wraith creek]

that was when it wasn't even a full arena either

[upbeat pasture]

it was kinda fine. They did stop the show to tell people to stop pushing but after that it was all good. wonder what it'll be like in bigger venues

[wraith creek]

which is a bit scary

[astral pumice]

yeeeah there was barely room to move at times

[inner drum]

Philippine Arena is like 90 percent seated. I think some shows in the Middle East maybe most standing

[hardy hornet]

I dream of one day seeing a kpop concert in the philippines

[inner drum]

Let's go

March

[hardy hornet]

still thinking about it cause of other stuff i planned on doing during chritsmas and summer

sigh expenses

[inner drum]

Oil prince

[hardy hornet]

nah thats all u

😉

[inner drum]

☠️

[hardy hornet]

ohh the jp color is nice

[inner drum]

I just manage my money well lol

Korea color is good too

[left tartan]

turns out i caught covid at day one

[inner drum]

😦

Feel better

[left tartan]

on top of that i have a chest infection too, dont think was caught there tho

thnak u

[inner drum]

Just sick now instead of lovesick

[frail wyvern]

💀💀

[fading horizon]

look at that standing 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

for london

[timber lily]

omg yes

[bright ice]

US a whole space behind

Blackpink boutta to set another revenue again

[shut venture]

Yess!!

[wraith creek]

no because there was a lady next to me with her lightstick in Bluetooth mode and the person infront of her was standing so she hit them on the head with the hammer to make them sit down and they did 😭😭

[upbeat pasture]

Lmao

[inner adder]

hi when u guys went for the concert is the merch store crowded?

[upbeat pasture]

When I bought merch, only had to wait in line for an hour

They had 2 open at two different ends of the entrance

[frigid wasp]

anyone here went to the concert with ga floor tickets?

[timber lily]

i got my merch around noon, not much wait at all

[tight star]

Sorry for delay but promised videos

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqrsOtch_rwA-JFXe1MIsgG5cgC0M1oem

All should be in 4k hdr 🙂

[unreal mortar]

Hi, i did

[wraith bison]

I went at like 9:30/9:45 it was barely crowded for vip 3 x

[wraith bison]

HAHAHAAH 😭😭

[wraith creek]

yea it is

Nice clips

[tight star]

Ty!

[wraith creek]

all of mine r 4k but u can just hear my screaming

it's so embarassing

[timber lily]

i haven't even dared watch mine

[inner drum]

This is why none of my videos are seeing social media lol

[hardy hornet]

thats all my snap stories too w/e there's a concert

XD

my screaming was so bad when it was lisa's solo

a 24 yr old man screaming like a 10 yr old girl

[frigid wasp]

when did you get there to start to line up and what was your view?

[unreal mortar]

I got 2 hours before the opening of the doors.

This was my view more or less. It wasnt as a clear of a view when the phones were up.

I did post a video of my view on one of the songs yesterday if you want to take a look. #1006301627373867139 message

Just to be clear take it with a grain of salt, that was the view with the phone up and zoomed, still, it was pretty cool to see them that close as GA 😀

[bright ice]

https://www.instagram.com/p/CltzzWTqv4R/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

So london what is the location of it

[frigid wasp]

do you think paris will have bigger crowds than london?

[frigid wasp]

thanks a ton for then info just what i was looking for 🫶

[unreal mortar]

Not sure, I was impressed with the amount of people that were in London D1 after watching the videos and photos after the show, in the moment I didn't noticed it at all

But personally I think you shouldn't take that into consideration.

In standing GA my advise is to:

• Go as early you can
• Bring something to eat and drink while waiting in line (Water and something not too messy is perfect)
• After reaching the concert space go to the bathroom right away, it would be really sad to lose a perfect spot just because nature calls 😛

Oh and if you can, and if you are able to find out on the Paris chat, try to find out if they will start selling the merch one day before the concert.

I bought mine one day before and I didn't have to wait at all, you just pick the stuff, pay and go

[magic parrot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JErj7SUw-8
Just a couple of clips I put together from Day 1 soundcheck :)

[forest venture]

nice group footage

They really did tally for that

[upbeat pasture]

I think the Paris venue is smaller than the o2. Considering the o2 is like the second or third biggest venue in Europe

[potent elm]

So many ppl on the floor at Day 2, more than any US arena show I think

[wraith bison]

Wait fr? 😭

[inner drum]

Ya. We didn't sell out the floor the whole way. Only a certain amount of ga tickets were sold after VIP

[potent elm]

I think they oversold the floor tickets, never see any concert in O2 with such a packed standing zone

[inner drum]

Ya. At most us floors was "half full" with people squeezed and all the room between the halfway point and all the sound mixing and visual stuff in the back back

[dawn brook]

Damn I would of got floor tickets if my sister was older 😭

[bright ice]

Streets said they sold like that cause of safety in the US

[mild bronze]

does anyone know if it is just blackpink in the hyde park festival or will other artists also be there?

bc im probably going to go

[timber lily]

they're headliners, so last and longest set, but there should be more acts announced to play before them

[mild bronze]

oh alright thank you so much

[timber lily]

nw nw

[frigid wasp]

so did they oversell floor tickets?

[bright ice]

Prob

Cause half of floor in the state isnt sold

[wraith creek]

it was packed

[upbeat pasture]

rumours have it that Taylor Swift is also going

alongside guns and roses and p!nk

[inner drum]

https://www.bst-hydepark.com/line-up/

Just headliners for now

[wraith creek]

they're all different dates tho right

[inner drum]

Ya

Dates are on the link I sent

[wraith creek]

i was gonna go to it but idk anyone else who's performing at the same date

[inner drum]

I flew across the country for only one group at kcon. Boutta do the same but across the pond.lmao

[wraith creek]

i found a video of standing cheering

it was so loud

idk if the audio came out the same

[glossy star]

Yh it did lmao

[wraith creek]

so many ppl on tiktok said we have a dead crowd but if that was just standing I don't think we were that quiet

[timber lily]

i was in the nosebleeds and the people right next to me (and me) were loud enough for the whole stadium

but no idea how it was a few rows behind us tbh

[wraith creek]

luckily in section/block 106 where I was alot of people were screaming and singing but their was a few who ruined it and just filmed it all

that's why all my footage is so shakey and loud because I was jumping around and screaming so much 😭😭😭

i refuse to show it to anyone ngl

[torpid perch]

Bro I need tickets to Spain next time, the crowd there sounded so loud and amazing

[shut venture]

Ikr

I don’t know what happened we’re usually so loud but I do genuinely feel their soundtrack/sound was very loud 😦 no worries, we’ll be loud for Hyde park

I said loud so many times then looool

[inner drum]

^I'm ready to be loud AF for Hyde Park

[torpid perch]

Ahah yeah definitely, can’t wait to hear them again!

[jade hearth]

The UK is usually loud, but we know what happened. It wasn't a UK crowd.

[wraith creek]

quite alot of it wasn't ngl

[jade hearth]

Hyde Park is up next, we'll show them what a proper UK crowd is like.

I did enjoy the concert though, the girls were great as always. When are they not tbh

[inner drum]

Anyone been to BST Hyde Park before? Need tips as someone coming from the US

[wraith creek]

yesss

[jade hearth]

This will be my first time, but if you wanna meet up with a load of UK blinks. Around 10-15 of us, are all planning a meet up at the festival.

[inner drum]

😮

I'm down

I got vip with a hotel so it's two tickets so whoever I'm coming with can join lol

[shut venture]

What tickets did you guys get? Because I’m not sure which one to get?

Was gonna get the primary entry one

[jade hearth]

Everyone has gotten Gold Circle, as it gives the best chance of being close to the stage.

[ripe comet]

No phones and singing every song

[shut venture]

Makes sense, is that tier 2 I’ll get it

?

[jade hearth]

Yeah!!

Next time the girls are at the O2, there needs to be a phone back 😭

[jade hearth]

Yeah, Gold Circle - Tier 2.

Same as Gold Circle - Launch, just the price is higher.

[ripe comet]

I have never been to Hyde Park concert before so not sure. I just went for ultimate diamond as it looks like it will be less crowded

[jade hearth]

Ultimate Diamond is the other side of the stage, but shouldn't be as busy.

[ripe comet]

It's still going to be a good view though?

[jade hearth]

Have you seen the map for it

[ripe comet]

It's to the side of the entire stage and not front on

[jade hearth]

Yesh, so just the opposite side of gold.
If it's anything like the tour, they'll barely walk down the catwalk/runway, and will mainly perform on the main stage.

So it will be a good view

[ripe comet]

I saw that Mexican wave video and that was nuts

[shut venture]

Okay I’m gonna get that, I hope we can all meet

[inner drum]

Excited to meet intl blinks!

[shut venture]

Are we bringing our light sticks?

[inner drum]

Always

[shut venture]

Love that for us

[inner drum]

I brought my lightstick to the VMAs and BlackPink was barely on stage lol

[shut venture]

Omg you went? How was it?! Were you close to the stage?

[jade hearth]

I'd never not bring it tbh

[inner drum]

I was far away but luckily my seat gave me a good view of their stage cause there were 3 stages! Luckily they performed on the main one

They told us to dress up as if we were gonna be on TV smh lol

IF you were in the pit, they took away your phones

[shut venture]

Omg that’s so strict but happy you got a good view

Hopefully Hyde park is the same

[inner drum]

I plan on staying for awhile in London as it will be vacation so would love recs

[shut venture]

Ooo yes you should deffo go to Oxford street and do some shopping and Chinatown in central london too

[jade hearth]

Hyde park is right next to Mayfair, which has some of the best luxury shops too, and some lovely restaurants like Sexy Fish.

[inner drum]

Luxury 😭

Not my style or kinda shop but maybe for my mom or somethin

[inner drum]

Yes thank you! Taking note! Might try and watch Wimbledon if possible but I know the queues

[frosty gull]

you can afford it oil prince

[fading horizon]

you came outta nowhere 💀💀

[cerulean oyster]

Yeah @inner drum can buy out all the stores and restaurants

😃

[wraith creek]

ngl they need to make them all go on the top floor of the o2 w the phones coz there were so many

then we can all see and enjoy it

lmao

[jade hearth]

I hit someone with my light stick "accidentally" while they were filming in front of my face lmao

[timber lily]

can’t say i blame you

[inner drum]

How'd i just see this

[cerulean oyster]

[inner drum]

Lol. I'll buy out something for sure 👀

[cerulean oyster]

Not just something, but all

[frail tundra]

Already been one week since the day 2 concert!! Best night of my life, wish I had gotten day 1 tickets too. Decided to get Hyde park tickets for next year so I’m excited to hopefully see them again!

[inner drum]

Hyde Park gang

[frail tundra]

I’ve never been to a festival before so I’m quite worried about standing lmao. Is anyone else going??

[jade hearth]

Everyone but us seem to be getting Boombayah during Encore now, Germany got it :<

Pissed beyond belief

[forest venture]

@frail tundra how was the experience from your seat?

I also got a similar place in Amsterdam and I wonder how to side stage experience will be

[narrow frost]

That's really weird as I was in general standing and it was SO LOUD on the 2nd day

[forest venture]

@frail tundra maybe bring a fishing seat/stool for during the festival?

[frail tundra]

My view was pretty good. I was in between the girls on my left and then the led screen on my right which was sometimes a little awkward but I still got to see them without anything blocking my view. I would say if I could pick my seat I would move further down the rows to have a closer view of them because I was row V but I can't really complain

[frail tundra]

Pardon? sorry i dont think i understand your message. i was just saying im worried about standing at a festival instead of getting a seat at a festival because im worried about the crowd pushing each other, not having enough space, potentially getting hit/crushed lol etc

[frail tundra]

they're not allowed unfortunately

[frail tundra]

omggg no way

[jade hearth]

Seems they really have swapped Lisa's pole dance routine atm, for Boombayah. They didn't get Lisa's pole dance either, alongside Barcelona.

It seems it wasn't due to audience request (As encores are already pre-planned, so that the band knows when and how to play it).

[wraith creek]

LMAOAOAOA

[wraith creek]

apparently it's bc they r louder but I doubt it coz they did it in one of the us ones too, bgl everyone is saying our crowds were dead which maybe they were a little but some people were saying our music was so loud that u could barely hear anyone

[wraith creek]

she had a neck injury so she apologised for not doing it

[jade hearth]

Watching back cologne, and our day 2. We were as loud as they were, so it definitely isn't due to "being loud" that they performed an extra song.

They'd only do it, if time permitted, which due to Lisa not being able to perform her solo completely. Allowed time for another song to be added.

[frail tundra]

Oh interesting.. it could be because of that

[jade hearth]

The only thing that can prove I am right there, is if they perform it in Paris, and Lisa once again doesn't do her full solo performance

[wraith creek]

yea we were ad loud as cologne ngl

[frail tundra]

honestly on day 2 i was screaming so loud but i felt like the music was extremely loud to the point I couldn't really hear the vocals at a few points.. all my videos are ruined by my screaming LMAO

[wraith creek]

she's not gonna do it properly coz they skipped over it a little coz she got injured

[wraith creek]

YESS SAME W ME

all my videos are me shouting and screaming and I cpuld barely hear anyone else or the actual singers because the o2 had the music so loud

[jade hearth]

The O2 arena is optimised for musical performances, so everything to do with music is prioritised over crowds.

Hence why crowd noise seems muffled, but the music is extremely loud. It's also why it is classed as the best music venue in the UK.

[wraith creek]

yes

which I'd why everyone said our crowd was dead

but irl we were LOUD

[jade hearth]

Someone has pointed out though, Jennie's IG posts from London and Barcelona are a bit strange. She looks very sad in London, very happy in Spain.

I do think day 1 upset them a lot. It would me too tbh

[frail tundra]

I glad i'm not the only one!!

[frail tundra]

oh wow i didnt know that. i hope the girls know we were trying our hardest then

[wraith creek]

they threatened day 1 with not coming back

all of the standing were on their phones and she repeatedly told them to get off and dance

[jade hearth]

I did see that. Which is a bit awkward, seeing as they had a second day and Hyde Park 7 months later lmao

[wraith creek]

luckily they said our day was bettee

better*

[jade hearth]

Yeah, during soundcheck they said we were a lot better too

[wraith creek]

thank god for that

😭😭😭

[frail tundra]

not me screaming me lungs out😭😭😭

[wraith creek]

i was kinda lucky my whome section were vibing and screaming

[wraith creek]

omg yess

some of mine i was screaming soooo loud that u can't even hear them

it's so embarrassing

[frail tundra]

i think mine could have been louder tbh

[wraith creek]

LMAO

i don't think I want to send them into this chat

maybe dm but defo not publix

i will cry of embarrassment

[jade hearth]

I was lucky that @wraith bison was screaming her lungs out and didn't care if her vocal chords got destroyed lmao

[jade hearth]

Never be embarrassed to have fun :D

[frail tundra]

LMAO THIS IS THE TAMEST ONE AND ONLY WHY I SENT 6 SECONDS SHDFJGSLJDFGS

so i 100% understand u

@wraith creek what section were you in?

[wraith creek]

I had a bad cold and i lost my voice that day, and my pronunciation of some if the English parts isn't so great and I sound really stupid so idk man LMAO

[wraith creek]

106!!!

[wraith creek]

PLZZZ

if I can find a short clip I can prob send it

[jade hearth]

Don't worry, my pronunciation of most English is poor. So that is ok lol

[frail tundra]

did you get a good view there?? 🙏

[wraith creek]

yess I can show h

am I able to dm

[wraith creek]

glad someone else can relate sorta 😭😭😭

[frail tundra]

sure!

[wraith creek]

ty ty

[jade hearth]

I can't because you can speak multiple languages, so you are a lot, lot smarter than I am honestly. I can barely speak English and it's my mother tongue lmao

[frail tundra]

Have you guys been to a concert before? This was my first and im glad it was blackpink

[jade hearth]

Been to a few, but many years ago. And this was my first non metal concert

[wraith creek]

WELL IT STILL COUNTS, I have alot of English friends who can barely speak English 😭😭

[wraith creek]

yes I been to bts, blackpink and twice

a few times before

[unreal mortar]

I have been in a few of them of multiple genres.

Personally I really enjoyed D1 in London, don't think the crowd was dead, like some people are saying.

Sure everyone wasn't jumping, but people were singing along, and alot of people were recording but it is what it is. Overall it was a blast to see the girls and ear the songs live.

[wraith creek]

Fr idk why everyone else care if it seemed dead or not we had fun and that's what matters tbf

[inner drum]

^It's just people judging. Honestly you yourself (plus the people there) are the ones who can speak to it best.

[jade hearth]

Anyone can take a small video and manipulate a narrative tbf.

I could get some clips from Barcelona and make it look badz at some points there were a lot of phones in the crowd.

So best to just ignore all the BS from others, you had fun that is all that matters

[wraith creek]

yea just gotta have fun and enjoy it and don't listen to what every1 else was trying to prove

[forest venture]

@frail tundra decathon or other outdoor shops sell these neat foam sitting pads that fit in your backpack

Keeps you warm and dry off the ground

[frail tundra]

that would be handy but dont think it will be very practical for me as i checked their website and looks like you can only bring a bag thats no bigger than an A4 size of paper

so i'd rather not carry it around lmao

[wraith creek]

same as the o2 💔

[glossy star]

Not me sadly 😭😭😭

I'm not in Humyde Park gang

Hyde

[jade hearth]

😭 Still have 7 months yet, could possibly go, maybe?

[inner drum]

Plenty of time

[wraith creek]

i wanna go to Hyde Park but its all standing and idk what ticket to buy coz some people said buy gold circle thing but idk what to choose

[jade hearth]

Gold Circle-Tier 2. .
Is what everyone in the UK Blink server are getting

[wraith creek]

i haven't checked that server ngl

idk

is it worth it

ive never ever been to Hyde park

[frail tundra]

I’ve never been to a festival or Hyde park but I decided to get gold circle. I’m really worried about standing so I think gold circle is the best choice you can make if you want to be close to the stage but also have the option to leave the section and have a breather/sit down if standing for a while isn’t your cup of tea

That’s if you can afford to get gold circle!! Otherwise my 2nd option was to stay at the far back of general admission so I can sit down if need be as there’s probably more space at the very back but then I wouldn’t be close to the stage at all

[wraith creek]

it sounds good for that one but it's like 200 pp which idm but if there's like more acts and im only going for one then idk if I really want to pay that much if u understand where im coming from

it looks very overwhelming there ngl

Oh for sure. If you’re just going to see Blackpink only it’s a big decision to make but I convinced myself that it will be worth going to see them because they finish their world tour next year in June. They most likely won’t be touring for a few years or ever again so I’m forcing myself to go even though I’m scared about standing😭🥲

[wraith creek]

ahh yes im trying to convince myself the same, but I feel like once I do wanna buy it the golden circle will be sold out

[frail tundra]

You probably still have a lot of time left to decide! The tickets have been out since October and it’s getting on for the middle of December now so I think you have a good amount of time to decide before they sell out even if they do!

[wraith creek]

well if they do sell out maybe later in time i can buy resale ones

i need so much time to decide bgl

[glossy star]

im gonna have loads of exams in that time period and im not gonna ask my mum to buy me more tickets just after buying blink plus for the concert

she would literally go ballistic

imma just be on my best behaviour do well in exams and all then maybe shell let me but ill probably just hope they do another tour

[wraith creek]

this is off topic

but anyone else got snow rn

[gray glen]

yeah lol

[shut venture]

Have you guys seen the hate we’re getting on tiktok from the blackpink concert?

I get it but like it’s soooo unnecessary

I’ve seen 3 tiktok videos already saying the same thing “Barcelona would never, London was dead”

Like we get it let’s move on now and enjoy the other concerts and stop comparing

Sorry just had to rant after those tiktoks

[frail wyvern]

Day 1 wasn’t that good but day 2 everyone was screaming

[shut venture]

Yeah I get that but it’s just annoying for us because people keep replaying the video where the pinks basically said if the energy is dead they’re not coming back

I went to day 1, I screamed and danced - their sound system too was very loud

Because before they came on, we were singing along well to their music videos

This is the tiktok that triggered me loooooooool https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFg3ovmr/

[frail wyvern]

The sound system was really loud for both days, so that’s why u can’t really hear people that good and on day 2 they literally said we were louder than day 1

Also

Day 1
We had to wait in line way longer than we should have, that’s why a lot people weren’t standing

So a lot of people didn’t really have that much energy

[shut venture]

This is very true, the wait was really long

I think it’s fine saying we weren’t loud enough like I don’t dispute it at all tbh I was shocked I couldn’t hear us either but it’s the constant teasing of fans saying their not coming back because London is dead

That’s what’s annoying

[inner drum]

Like we've established. People will speak about it regardless and while it sucks yall getting trashed on, you know yourselves best how the experience was. People will take short clips out of context for anything. Like look how often the girls get trashed for out of context clips.

[frail wyvern]

Fr

[shut venture]

Very true

[frail wyvern]

But day 2 made up for it

[shut venture]

I just don’t get why people have the time to do that though😂

[inner drum]

One of two things. Bored or no life (or both) lol

Antis and haters will always be antis and haters

[shut venture]

Deffo both😂

Just trying to ruin the experience

They’re *

[inner drum]

Ya. I know the beginning of London day one was a mess and people have talked about the phones and how packed the floor was but it still sounds like yall had a great time and were loud

[lyric fulcrum]

reeling from the concert fr

[lyric fulcrum]

it acc was fr

i slapped af tho best time of my life

it was my first ever concert and omg JOY

i got such good videos as well

[wraith creek]

it was so loud that the camera only picks up music

[potent elm]

I think there were more intl students in London concerts and many of them are quiet/busy with filming.

There are probably more Asian intl. students in UK compared to Germany, France and Spain combined

[potent elm]

I guess for many of them posting a tiktok video/tweek bashing blackpink would win them the biggest accolade they can get in life

this is just sad, ppl jump on the hate train just for better engagement on social media. I need a black mirror episode for this

[upbeat pasture]

Yeah. Were a lot of students at the o2 in London

[jade hearth]

Help i saw myself in some random persons tiktok of the concert

[narrow frost]

Oh nooo

[wraith creek]

[jade hearth]

Jumping on this 3 days later, but this is true even with Barcelona and Cologne. I can literally see little clips people post, where they are quiet as anything. Where loads of people are filming, the only reason they got an extra song wasn't because they were loud, it's because they actually thought to chant for a song they wanted. Whereas Day 2 for London just chanted "One more song".

But because that doesn't fit the narrative that we were worse, yo don't see them and no one slags them off.

You don't see any clips of Day 2 for us whatsoever, so everyone is judging both days off of 3 very small 20 seconds clips of Day 1, all 3 clips being of the EXACT same time too.

[ripe comet]

I don't know why people are posting videos about london crowd lol. We did not go there for the crowd we went there to see BlackPink and that is all that matters.

[upbeat pasture]

Day 2 was a good loud crowd though. I know it was a bit quiet when they were performing. Always thought that was common decency though.

Like letting them perform and not being louder than the performance

[upbeat pasture]

London day 2 got like an extra 2-3 songs because of that chant tbf

[jade hearth]

We got the normal encore, people only started chanting it because for some reason they thought the show had ended lol

[unreal mortar]

Based on my experience in shows in Portugal the crowd here knows that shows have encores almost all of the time, and everyone starts saying "one more song" right away.
That or some other random chants just to have fun while the artists are resting a bit or changing clothes for the encore

Or whistling really loud, and some people can whistle really loud xD

[jade hearth]

Yeah, I don't really understand why people chanted for one more song, when an encore was obvious. (I mean, they hadn't even done the photo yet either).

Also, just because you mentioned it above. Artists actually like when people sing along during their performances, adds to the atmosphere. That's why Barcelona was so good, they sung during the songs. Whereas in London we seemed to go the (in my opinion) really poor Korean route, with the fan chants and being quiet for most of the performance. Never seen a UK crowd do that before, so was a bit disappointed in that.

Hopefully we don't do the same at Hyde Park, or imma just paint every UK Kpop fan with the same brush, and say ya bad crowds lol

[unreal mortar]

Yeah, some people mentioned there were alot of asians in the show, and they probably enjoy the show in a more introvert way and just be admiring the beauty of our 4 member and record it to see later xD

[jade hearth]

Oh they aren't introvert lmao

One person behind me kept screaming "I love you Jisoo" every 20-25 seconds lmao
I think the people in the cheap seats heard him, he was so loud lmao

[unreal mortar]

But that can happen in shows, personally I try to enjoy the show my own way. In yeah yeah yeah I was jumping my ass off I only looked around to see if I would step on anyone and go for it xD

[unreal mortar]

Well he tried to make Jisso ear him, his got a point xD

[jade hearth]

I brought both my light sticks, if it wasn't so cramped I would have gotten them both out, but I couldn't get it out of my bag when the concert started lmao

[unreal mortar]

You were on standing floor?

[jade hearth]

Yeah, right next to the right hand side of the catwalk (left hand side from the girls POV).

[unreal mortar]

Oh what ticket did you have?

I was GA and I really enjoyed my view as GA but going to try Blink plus or something like that in the next oportunity, if it happens, to be a bit closer and see less phones 😛

[jade hearth]

Blink Deluxe lol

I should have just gone GA though, as they were who was trying to push past me for most of the night.

[unreal mortar]

Oh yeah, in that one you have to be "street wise" on crowds, and just block them or start jumping around so people avoid trying to push past you.

And if they get stepped on or something, well... I was just dancing.... 😛

For reference this was my view pretty much

[jade hearth]

Me and this one guy next to me, just stood our ground. Had so many elbows in my back because I refused to move. Not a small guy either, so it was easy to stand ground (until people next to me moved, and they got past lol).

[unreal mortar]

No preview??? Ok going to post in as Jpeg 😛

[unreal mortar]

Thats better

[jade hearth]

Eyy, nice view

[unreal mortar]

Without the phones yeah xD

[jade hearth]

Mine unfortunately has phones in front of me, but still a good view of them lol

This was my view

Love those phones guys, please hold them up higher lol

[inner drum]

Unfortunately if you're right by the barricade you're gonna get a shit ton of phones and it looks like you're pretty close to the barricade

[unreal mortar]

Looks really nice, personally I prefer to be more in the front to see the entire stage

[jade hearth]

I was very close to it, I didn't mind. I was taller than everyone holding their phones up thankfully lol

I let a few people ahead of me that weren't as tall aha

[unreal mortar]

That is nice 🙂

[inner drum]

Ah very nice

I dont mind phones as long as it's at a reasonable height

If you're holding your whole arm up and blocking people's views

Different

[unreal mortar]

Yeah totally, I needed to stretch and be on my tippy toes to see them between the phones

I thinking I went full ballet dancer at some point xD

Like for example, in one of my favorite recording I have from the show, I needed to raise my phone at the start to record them well

Sry for the blurryness, my phone tried his best 😛

Oh and "I" got a wave from Jisoo ❤️

[jade hearth]

I was a bit of an asshole to one person behind me, the person that kept elbowing me because they wanted a better view, I just held my phone up for a little bit. Weren't even recording, just blocked their view.

Don't elbow me because I won't let you push your way to the front lmao

[unreal mortar]

Yeah that is just rude. Just accept that is how far you will get, want to come closer? Arrive sooner

[jade hearth]

Not even that, buy a VIP ticket if you wanna be up the front. I paid £453, I am not letting someone who paid £181, push past me because they want to.

[unreal mortar]

Yeah its, rough but you know, people being people I guess.

[jade hearth]

Yeah, ahh well. I still enjoyed myself, and hyde park is gonna be better :D

[unreal mortar]

Not going for that one, but have been rewatching the entire show from London, some guys recorded the entire show day 1 and 2 xD

And the sound is really good, for a phone recording...

On another note, have you guys seen the BPMs that have been published on youtube?

[jade hearth]

I have watched 1 of them lol

[unreal mortar]

You need to see the second one

They are so goofy

[inner drum]

They're adorable

Jisoo nostril lmao

Cant wait to see more content. Next one should be out tomorrow

[upbeat pasture]

Yeah saw people leaving 😭😭

[jade hearth]

Some people do that to just get on the train before everyone else usually.

I see tons do it at the football, I mean that is 60k+ people at once, but it's still a lot with 20k too aha

[wraith creek]

noo there was people leaving j the section next to me and i was like noo dont leave they would've turned the lights on

[fossil silo]

Yeah i had to leave soon after the encore started but it was still a great time

[mild bronze]

has blackpink ever had a festival before????

[inner drum]

They headlined Coachella

[fossil silo]

Yes coachella but never a uk festival

[inner drum]

Now is there time though!

[mild bronze]

super excited

this will be my first festival and it will cure me from the sadness of not being able to go to the concert
