🇦🇺 Melbourne (June 10-11, 2023)

[true gorge]

for a world tour

I-DLE, aespa, twice, Bp

even more

[grizzled obsidian]

Maybe cuz Covid restrictions are def slowing down so so many artists are starting tours

[true gorge]

reeeeeeeeeee

[grizzled obsidian]

So much money 😭

[true gorge]

Ive always wated to see Twice and I-DLE...

Why this year

why not wait until 2024 😭

[grizzled obsidian]

Good luck with saving cash

It’s worth it in the end :))

[true gorge]

I am seeing BP again in paris for encore...next month

but

[grizzled obsidian]

WOOOW damn

[true gorge]

I booked that before g-idle announced europe datesss

ive already seen bp, if I knew gidle was coming I would of seen them instead

[grizzled obsidian]

Damn Welp I hope you still enjoy the encore or you can sell the ticket

[true gorge]

resale isnt a option for paris encore

and idk why

lol

isnt**

[grizzled obsidian]

😭 oh

[true gorge]

My friend bought us all the 5 tickets, so we sit next to each other

but 2 friends dropped out, so now we have 2 tickets we cant resale legitly

bruhhh

[grizzled obsidian]

Ooo damn how did she get 5 tickets in a row

[true gorge]

It was up to 6 tickets per person

[grizzled obsidian]

That’s so hard

[true gorge]

there is still seats left for Paris encore

[grizzled obsidian]

My friends and I bought two tickets on each side of the vip cuz we couldn’t get four in one side

[true gorge]

oof. why is everyone I talk to in this Melbourne chat a VIP ticket holder

is everyone rich

or am I just broke

[grizzled obsidian]

💀 I’m not rich I just spend my money very stupidly

[true gorge]

hey hey hey

hey

hey

VIP for BP

is not stupid

🙂

[grizzled obsidian]

YES but it was a lot of money but I am willing to live with being broke if I get to see bp

[true gorge]

I would of easily spend an entire months wage for the most expensive VIP

when I went to barcelona

since we had send-off and stuff

i still dont know why they stopped doing send offs

[grizzled obsidian]

Damn you’ve been everywhere 💀

[true gorge]

I live in Spain lol

I went to born Pink barcelona, and going to Paris

[grizzled obsidian]

Ooo as an Aussie every country is further away from us so going to a diff country is so expensive 😭

[true gorge]

I knowwww

[grizzled obsidian]

Hope you enjoy

[true gorge]

thats a biggg downside

Living in europe, If I was rich, I could of gone to every europe date

since its like 60€ to fly to a european country

cheap

lol

[grizzled obsidian]

WOW

Damn I wish I lived in Europe now

[true gorge]

My return to paris was like 176€

[grizzled obsidian]

damnn blackpink always near your area 💀

You just gotta take a cheap flight

[true gorge]

exactly 👌

[flint pewter]

I saw a few people complaining that the Melbourne concert wasn't organized that great with the wristbands. Apparently people got their wristbands after security not when they were lining up outside and people who arrived later got to jump the queue or were given a vastly different number to their friends. I would have been so frustrated about that.

I kinda feel bad for those people being caught on camera like that. That will definitely be used by some fandom as a meme.

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye I feel like people would use it against blackpink

[true gorge]

Its defo gonna be used as a meme.. and probably be used against our fandom

blinks in full merch and lightstick sleeping.. thats a gold mine for haters

ugh

[flint pewter]

Were these people in seats or the standing area?

[true gorge]

seats

all the videos I saw were from seats

[flint pewter]

Yeah that's gonna be a hard one. If it was the standing area it would make sense because there's usually a 2 hour wait between soundcheck and show time so most people just chill rather than stand for 2 hours cause you're standing all day. But sleeping in the seats is definitely gonna be used by someone.

[true gorge]

The worst part since, it was banned to stand and 90% of seated were sitting down

To haters thats a super gold mine, sleeping blinks, everyone sat down,

blinks of their phones... ughh.. I am avoiding twitter for the next week lol

[flint pewter]

Wonder what the Sydney vibes and organization will be like. Blackpink are already in Sydney apparently, they didn't stay too long in Melbourne. Someone found Rosé in a shop in Sydney.

[true gorge]

I hope and pray

atleast

the bare minimum

people will be allowed to stand up and enjoy the concert

[flint pewter]

I think Sydney is a much larger venue so maybe. Melbourne was the smallest one they've done on this tour.

[true gorge]

Oh?

what was the capacity for mel?

[flint pewter]

14,000

[true gorge]

oh wow

tiny

[flint pewter]

Tiny arena!

[true gorge]

and I thought spain was small with 18,000

[flint pewter]

Considering BP are selling out to 75,000 stadiums is really crazy. They definitely would not have done Melbourne if not for Rosé.

[true gorge]

Yea, paris encore is almost sold out

thats like 77,000

and I am one of them, some how

[flint pewter]

I personally think the bigger the venue the better. Any time I went to a small venue around that size the concert was crap. Always seems like such a tight squeeze. Big venues have to have a standard with organization plus they are more suited to cater to groups with a large fan demand.

[true gorge]

I cant have an opinion yet, only been 1 concert in my life

and That was barcelona with 18k

So to me 18k was HUGE

XD

Helps, spanish blinks were so hypoed and energetic

[flint pewter]

18K isn't too bad at all. I think the first Paris concert was 20K right?

[true gorge]

Yea aroun dthat I think

[flint pewter]

The Spanish know how to have a good time for sure. I was also gonna say maybe that's why New Zealand was cancelled. Either the venue size or just that the location is kinda awkward to travel to - maybe more so for the crew because fans will go anywhere.

[wide hare]

Lol no way they can’t really fall asleep in that environment, obviously they just posed for a video

[true gorge]

Its not the only concert ive seen people do that

but why would they willingly post a video, if they are blinks, making it out like the concert is boring

real blinks wont do that, it makes no sense.

[wide hare]

Nah Bp got a lot of casual listeners they are kinda mainstream in Asia, so ppl who attended their concerts with light sticks might not be blinks. That’s why you see their concerts with more Asian attendees (e.g. London, Melbourne) are less hyped. Ppl wants to make viral videos, seriously no way ppl can fall asleep with that loud music on, no way several ppl can fall asleep together

[grave marten]

sort of annoying how ppl who actually would die to be there don't get tickets but then ppl who arent even singing get to go??

[trim geode]

Not everyone wants to sing

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye I feel really annoyed when they dint give the opportunity to people who really love bp

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly it only taints blackpinks image

[grave marten]

but if a die-hard fan doesn't get in but some person who doesn't enjoy them self does it seems unfair is what im tryna say

[grizzled obsidian]

I think they meant someone who would actually finds the concert and the opportunity to see them much more exciting and appreciates and loves the girls more

[nocturne bison]

Yeah I second this ^

The energy for day 1 Melbourne was….

Underwhelming

[trim geode]

It was a very good night (D1)

I wished they would also sell albums. I wouldn’t mind getting a second or third set for the cards

[wide hare]

look, with BP's popularity there will be many ppl willing to paying big money to attend their concerts, the problem is, the content of this tour really does not work well for a tougher crowd

the stage, the outfits wont wow the audience, it's too basic compared to Coachella. And the duration and lack of engagement are big issues. For the Barcelona crowd who really know how to enjoy themselves it's not a problem but for a tougher crowd who probably know the pinks via IG or Channel Billboard, YG really needs to create a more engaged content

[chrome grove]

apparently people got told of for standing up in twice and skz in rod laver, but the crowd was just sitting there and filming i was there in day 1 melbourne and i was the only one singing and dancing in my section the entire section just sat and filmed and didnt even wave their lightstick and it was very quiet

[wide hare]

really? I saw some clips ppl are sitting and filming in twice concerts, few ppl are dancing. The problem is the duration, BP tickets are way more expensive due to higher demand, many ppl paid a fortune and when they find the concert being so short, they will complain

[flint pewter]

i lowkey carried my section tbh

i was screaming and was super hyped for them so that other ppl might join me

i don't really care if people shit on the melb crowd, i had a great experience as the first concert i ever went to, and that's enough for me

[grizzled obsidian]

Same here I don’t really care for the crowd as I was just there for a good time. And thank u for slaying, devouring and overall like u said carrying ur section 💀

[flint pewter]

as long as you had a good time, it doesn't really matter abt the others yk

ppl talking abt melb crowd was the only thing coming up on my tik tok

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly and also just enjoying the show and not feeling the need to always get a perfect shot :))

[flint pewter]

and it was all negative and ppl started to say how they never want to go to melb, like 💀💀

[grizzled obsidian]

Honesty imo the crowd wasn’t even that bad it really just depends in what area u are in

[nocturne bison]

This!!

[flint pewter]

legit

i was thinking abt that too

but also alot of that criticism is probably from ppl that didn't even attend the concert

[grizzled obsidian]

Nah tiktok always have so much people being negative ngl 😭

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly they base it off a couple recordings they’ve seen or just want to being down the group :((

[flint pewter]

so they are only basing their info on a few vids posted specifically to tell ppl the crowd was 'bad'

[flint pewter]

it's the worst

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSL6aAxho/

this is my vid

[grizzled obsidian]

It seems like they haven’t been ti a concert before as honestly there’s always goanna be a section not being loud or full of people wanting to record it’s kind of just expected at this point ngl

[flint pewter]

absolutely

[grizzled obsidian]

Based on that vid u can see how fun and lively most of the crowd is it’s seems like the people talking negative ignore the videos showing good experiences and when the crowd is hyped 😭

[nocturne bison]

Did the blinks cope well with Jennie leaving?

[flint pewter]

LEGIT

[flint pewter]

yes it was fine

i screamed for jennie everytime her part came on

[nocturne bison]

I feel so bad for Jennie, 7 news was reporting it 😭

[flint pewter]

i have abt 4 vids of jennie performing

so i still saw ot4

[grizzled obsidian]

It was def sad and I was worried and so were many others but I mean she exited in the side I was on so I got to see her close up

[flint pewter]

me too, her apology on insta made me so sad, she didn't have to apologise!! we luv her and want her to be healthy

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly it’s not her fault she’s was sick

[flint pewter]

omg our pfps

we have lisa in the same outfit

[grizzled obsidian]

LISAA YESSS I loved her energy through the concert

[nocturne bison]

Lisa was crazyyyy

[grizzled obsidian]

She was so happy and friendly with the crowd I just had to make her my pfp

[flint pewter]

lisa is my queen, everyone went insane for her

[nocturne bison]

I was so starstruck, flirting with the blinks and everything 😍

[flint pewter]

did y'all see the video where she took someone's switch on stage 😭😭

[grizzled obsidian]

YESSS Melbourne crowd def loved Lisa

[grizzled obsidian]

No what 💀

[flint pewter]

ALSO THE GIRL WITH THE LED OUTFIT WAS THE DIRECTLY SITTING BEHIND ME

[flint pewter]

someone asked her to finish their mario kart race and she was doing it HAHAHA

[grizzled obsidian]

OH BAHAHAHA

[grizzled obsidian]

OHH the led girl starting dancing to d4 it was so funny

[flint pewter]

yea hahaha

i saw myself on the screen cus i moved my lightstick to find myself HAHHA

but she was so cool

i found her on my fyp too it was amazing

[grizzled obsidian]

OHH I saw some of my friends on the screen too 💀

[flint pewter]

the ppl seated next to me were so nice

[grizzled obsidian]

I’m def impressed by the amount of fans that brought heartwarming posters, the led person and other things that made the concert more enjoyable and I can tell the girls enjoyed it

[flint pewter]

absolutely!!

BLACKPINK ‘Born Pink’ World Tour Encore in Melbourne Photos
https://twitter.com/BLACKPINK/status/1669223257827078149

[stiff ridge]

https://youtube.com/shorts/fv1JI32xV_k?feature=share

[flint pewter]

I'm sure Melbourne loved all of them. From what I heard the crowd was non stop screaming for Jennie and ofc Rosé whose actual honetown it was. Then again not sure how many Aussie natives were at it, seems a lot of people travelled from Asia.

Rosé was actually probably the most hyped at some of the western concerts so judging from the Melbourne vids yall let her down a bit not gonna lie 😅

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye around my area there were some people not from Australia but ye everyone yelled and screamed their hearts out for everyone

[flint pewter]

Maybe Aussies aren't really into Blackpink are they not big over there? The fact most of the crowd seem to be tourists yknow

[grizzled obsidian]

A lot people know them ig some might’ve missed out in the opportunity of seeing them in their country

[grizzled obsidian]

I yelled the most for Rosie idk ab everyone else tho

[flint pewter]

A lot of rich Chinese buying up the tickets huh? What a shame. I sure hope the crowd at least showed Rosé just as much love as her members if not more. Otherwise she might not wanna go back to Melbourne.

[grizzled obsidian]

Yes I def hope everyone else showed her love and I would def wanna see them again hoping they come back to Australia. I mean rosé got emotional at the end so ig she stills holds Melbourne in a special place in her heart

[flint pewter]

I saw that vid yeah. I think she was choking up over her family and friends that came to see her though. To her that is the most important support but I also got a vibe from her that Melbourne is her past and will never be her future. First concert I saw where the vibe was she's moved on. And if the crowd was that dry for her I don't blame them. Esp awks if they cheered more for her members. Imagine if it was Thailand and people cheered more for Rosé than Lisa, it would not sit well.

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye tru. Even if she views Melbourne as her past it never hurts to revisit! I mentioned the crowd loved Lisa but that doesn’t mean they loved Rosé any less if not more( as an Aussie blink )

[flint pewter]

I'm sure if most of the crowd were tourists anyway they probably did cheer harder for Lisa and they are entitled to but I'm just saying maybe next time Rosé will just do Sydney and leave it at that cause if the crowd aren't really there to see her what would be the point.

Rosé has a lot of western fans don't know if you guys know that and we felt really sad for her when we heard about the Melbourne crowd. Like you guys were so lucky to have a special crowd for her hometown and no offense but the opportunity felt a bit wasted on you 😅 I hope Rosé moves to Europe or USA next time cause people would have been WILD for her. Even my mom loves Rosé's voice and she hates kpop.

[grizzled obsidian]

I mean from what I experienced on day two everyone cheered loud for everyone and we’re all allowed to have biases and cheer louder for whoever we want. It also depends on how much effort or how much they interact with the crowd. Based in whatever she’s revealed to the public it doesn’t seem like she has any really bad memories in Melbourne and I hope they all enjoyed being back in her hometown

[flint pewter]

I hope she enjoyed it for her family but if her biases are not in Melbourne there is really no point in BP making the special trip back there next time. It was the smallest venue they did and they did it for Rosé not for anyone else or their biases.

[grizzled obsidian]

I was close up so I didn’t see the back rows but in my section we all went wild for every member especially Rosé. I cant defend the whole crowd and can’t control what kind of people buys the tickets. No one chooses where they’re born from and compared it many other venues Melbourne’s is smaller so it’s not going to be as loud.

[grizzled obsidian]

Melbourne is more populated than Sydney so it’s not really special when an artist is big enough they do go to the biggest city’s within countries

[flint pewter]

I get that and I get nobody can control who buys the tickets and from where but if the crowd that showed up on the night was more Lisa's crowd then honestly the point of doing the Melbourne concert was completely lost on the crowd and I'm just saying you might not get it again. YG already dropped New Zealand so this one was very lucky for you guys.

[grizzled obsidian]

Again Melbourne’s bigger than syd and the crowd loved all the members. I mentioned Lisa earlier cuz she was brought up and was hyping up the crowd

[flint pewter]

Rod Laver is a 14K arena. The smallest BP did on the tour considering they are selling out 75k. They made it pretty clear they only did that stopover for Rosé's hometown.

[flint pewter]

It seemed like Rosé was the one who spoke the most from the videos. Imagine her trying to draw hype from a crowd that only screams Lisa back to her. Like getting blood from a rock.

[grizzled obsidian]

People are allowed it have diff biases they don’t have to have the bias that’s Brian in their country. Even if they did do it just because of that everyone appreciated it and it was def tough to get tickets, all my friends tried and only a couple of us got some. I cant control how big the arenas are and I’m def glad their team came to Australia

[flint pewter]

I mean you can defend the Melb crowd all you like. I just know they weren't a true reflection of Aussies cause if they were and that's how they treat their own it would be embarrassing.

[grizzled obsidian]

But that didn’t happen tho

[flint pewter]

It looked like it did. Like I said imagine if Bangkok treated Lisa like that

Your crowd kinda deserves the stick you've been getting

Like I said just hope it was not a true Aussie reflection. Most of the crowd were tourists it sounds like. Even in the selfie Lisa took you can see the crowd is mostly Asian and Indian.

[grizzled obsidian]

Ikr why ur tryna make an argument 😭 I appreciate that they came and some of the audience wasn’t from Australia. People are allowed it cheer for who they want to and people yelled for whoever they wanted to.

[grizzled obsidian]

Australia isn’t just full of white people 💀

[flint pewter]

Okay but next time I don't bank on them coming back to Melbourne!

[grizzled obsidian]

I’m not on tiktok it’s so negative so I haven’t been looking at he criticism it’s below me

[flint pewter]

I didn't see a single white person. Didn't say they all were white but cmon now is all of Australia Asian and Indian?

[grizzled obsidian]

I hope they do but it’s not up to me :))

[flint pewter]

Doubt it since you guys did not go hard for Rosé.

[grizzled obsidian]

It’s blackpink they’re gonna attract more people who are used to that culture

[grizzled obsidian]

Ok

[flint pewter]

You clearly have not been to their European or US concerts. Especially in Europe Asians are not a majority at all yet they still sold out. So yeah white people are into BP.

And clearly we know who Rosé's fans are and they were not there those nights.

[grizzled obsidian]

I’m just saying u def don’t know how multicultural Australia is and how many people are willing to buy tickets to travel to Australia to see them. White peoples are fans of them I am white 💀

[flint pewter]

You were prob the only white person there congrats 😅 Also yeah I know people travel for BP since that's who turned up to Melbourne. I mean you seem convinced that if not for Rosé BP would still want to play Rod Laver and I promise you it was no other members idea.

lmao what?

the only white person-

[grizzled obsidian]

I’m leaning to ot4 and everyone is entitled to their win bias. I enjoyed the show and I’m sure many others did. I hope people cheered just as loud for Rosé like I did but at the end of the day I can’t control the crowd and who buys the tickets. I’m just happy that they made so many stops and Melbourne was one of them

[grizzled obsidian]

I wasn’t tho 🤨

[flint pewter]

I saw the videos they didn't

girl im white and i was there

You guys did nothing for Rosé. Your crowd sucked tbh. And not just cause they were falling asleep

are you serious?

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly vids u weren’t there 💀

[flint pewter]

Did you scream for Rosé as hard as Lisa?

help yes 💀

[grizzled obsidian]

So negative and for what?

[flint pewter]

Ofc cause you said so earlier

why are you so pressed, you weren't even there

[flint pewter]

then why ask?

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly ikr

[flint pewter]

I'm just saying Rosé will def not go back to Melbourne

Yall were the worst crowd

LMAO WHAT SHE USED TO LIVE THERE

[grizzled obsidian]

Whatever makes u happy ig depends on their team

[flint pewter]

It was so wasted on you. In the west people go wild for Rosé

Yall didn't.

yes im sorry i am 14 thousand people and im responsible for the 'bad crowd'

[flint pewter]

I was being sarcastic. You didn't

[flint pewter]

Exactly!

[grizzled obsidian]

🥱 it was wasted on some but many hardcore blinks were there ur getting repetitive

[flint pewter]

And you guys were cheering harder for Lisa lol

respectfully stop talking

ok and she's my bias like I'm sorry

Hopefully Lisa will still fight to go to Melbourne next time but doubt it

did i commit a crime

[grizzled obsidian]

Just cuz rose comes form Melbourne doesn’t mean she’s gotta be ur bias

[flint pewter]

Just don't expect another Melb show

[grizzled obsidian]

I can still appreciate her and be happy that she is in her hometown

[flint pewter]

You guys went down as the worst crowd to date in all the shows

who gives a fuck

it was the best night of my life

[flint pewter]

But you guys didn't. Such a waste. You don't deserve her tbh

[grizzled obsidian]

Ok and? 💀 there has to be a worst but that doesn’t mean it was bad

[flint pewter]

we don't own her tf

[gilded aurora]

i know im not involved in this but im really confused bc the crowd seemed to be having a really good time and was screaming for all the songs? even before they came out the whole arena was screaming for the mvs

[flint pewter]

I hope Australia disowns that crowd.

[grizzled obsidian]

Believe what u wanna believe u don’t gotta be so jealous or sum idk at this point

[severe current]

what is going on in here 💀

[flint pewter]

Did you see the people sleeping?

[grizzled obsidian]

Yes it was amazing

[grizzled obsidian]

Someone who didnt go is pressed at how ‘bad’ of a crowd we were 💀

[flint pewter]

im sorry but you have no opinion on this, YOU WERENT EVEN THERE

[flint pewter]

Just cause Rosé is from Melbourne does not mean she had to do a concert there. She convinced YG to do it. But guess what next time she can say no.

and how does that effect you in anyway

[grizzled obsidian]

U acting like u saw her ask and she begged in her knees or sum goofy behaviour coming from u rn

[flint pewter]

I would have got all the western fans to buy those dang tickets and travel there had we known you guys would embarrass Rosé like that to try and salvage it

[severe current]

this looks like y’all taking bait

does this discord have mods?

[flint pewter]

Oh so it was Lisa, Jisoo or Jennie who said lets do a 14K show in Melbourne?

[severe current]

i’m white person who saw them in melb now im here in syd

and saw them in 2019

[flint pewter]

yea idk why the person is so mad

[severe current]

i’m bout to turn up

[grizzled obsidian]

Ooo damn u lucky

[flint pewter]

And you claim being part of the worst crowd?

[severe current]

and cry to rose solos

[grizzled obsidian]

Calm down pls

[flint pewter]

oh my gosh are you done?

[flint pewter]

It was Rosé who asked. You're so ungrateful

[severe current]

lmaooo

i’ll let her know tonight

[flint pewter]

I hope BP never ever go back to Melbourne

[severe current]

i’ll hold up the discord chat

[flint pewter]

You suck.

[grizzled obsidian]

Gurl 💀

[flint pewter]

@grave sparrow

Imagine if the Bangkok crowd was that bad for Lisa

Thailand would literally lose tourists over it

[grave sparrow]

hey there

[flint pewter]

hey! this person is being quite rude

[flint pewter]

How so?

By saying you guys made no effort for Rosé? And the crowd was asleep?

just scroll up

That is all true.

And the whole internet is talking about it

[grave sparrow]

thanks

[severe current]

mod squad

get em

[flint pewter]

sorry for the ping btw but it was getting quite out of hand

[grave sparrow]

you have no right to be rude with the members here just because the crowd wasnt hyped. please be respectful to others and dont make unnecessary fights here.

[grave sparrow]

all good, i dont mind pings

[rich willow]

@flint pewter ur being very mean right now

pls stop

[grizzled obsidian]

Dw ab it’s all over now they were just hella mad for no good reason

[severe current]

lmao i actually scrolled up now

those paragraphs 😂

wild

[nocturne bison]

The implication they made that the Asian demographic of the crowd were at fault for not being “loud enough,” and that white-western crowds are better… sounding a lil racist.

[grizzled obsidian]

Ikr and they couldn’t comprehend that not everyone who lives in Australia is white and assumed everyone who was Asian flew in smh

[nocturne bison]

Yeah, “tourists” they said 😭, and here’s them bangin on the same crowd they described as Asian and Indian. Just because an idol is of a same heritage, doesn’t inherently mean the crowd is obligated to fawn over them the entire performance. The blinks didn’t invest in a group concert to focus on just one of four performers, that’s ridiculous.

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly you described everything perfectly it’s hard to help someone understand ur side when they don’t care and are ignorant asf 💀

the concert was so fun but i’ve never met such rude security and unorganized staff… they were super unprofessional and condescending, called us psychos and crazy, yelled tasteless jokes in our ears with megaphones while laughing and addressed us as “these fuckers” to one another…

I have to say Melbourne staff are so good (for not being bogans)

[grizzled obsidian]

Was this ab the Sydney staff?

[wide hare]

Yeah

[grizzled obsidian]

That’s really unfortunate what kind of people r they hiring? 😭 if they’re going to choose to work for a place that hold events they should be respectful for different genres/sports and expect different kinds of fans/people that’s actually so shocking wtf

[flint pewter]

thats horrible omg

[unkempt wadi]

That's so awful! The security in Melbourne were absolutely fantastic!

[flint pewter]

the staff were joking around with me and offered to take photos for everyone

they were lovely

unfortunate for the Sydney peeps

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye I asked for a lot of help with bathrooms and food and even the ones close to the stage were all were rlly nice and respectful

[manic forge]

IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFETIME MELBOURNE DAY 2. BLACKPINK

[grizzled obsidian]

HAPPY TO SEE YET ANOTHER BLINK WHO ENJOYED IT TOO

[manic forge]

YES! HOW COULD YOU NOT ENJOY BLACKPINK?!

I GOT NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES BY MULTIPLE MEMBERS!

[grizzled obsidian]

Exactly the energy of the people around me def made it so much better

[grizzled obsidian]

Ooo lucky :))

[manic forge]

I WAS SEATED NEXT TO THIS GIRL, THE ENERGY SHE HAD WAS AMAZING!! SHE ALWAYS CHANTED JENNIES NAME WHICH MADE EVERYONE CHANT JENNIE!!

[grizzled obsidian]

It was really heart warming imo when other people starting chanting Jennie’s name a lot of people were def worried about her health during the concert

[manic forge]

It was, seeing and hearing all the blinks calling out for Jennie, escpecaiilly when Jennies solo was on and Jisoo Rose and Lisa where dancing to it with the backup dancers. THE BACKUP DANCERS SOLO PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING, EVERYONE WAS HYPING THEM UP AND WHERE SO EXCITED. AND WHEN BLACKPINK INTRODUCED THE BAND AND OMAR EVERYONE WENT CRAZY

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye I’m glad they were still able to continue the concert even though Jennie wasn’t there. The rest of the members solo performances were def so amazing, the backup dancers had so much energy and the band made the performances a lot more crazy and so much fun

[manic forge]

exactly!! JISCHUJENCHAENGLISA BEST GIRLS! SARANGHAE

[flint pewter]

Rosé's fans are mostly white and western so it makes sense since the Melbourne crowd wasn't fully representative of the Australian nation. I think Rosé might have got a better welcome elsewhere since her fans by majority definitely weren't in that crowd that bought out all those tickets. If Bangkok was so low energy for Lisa that would be bad and the same goes for Rosé.

[flint pewter]

There would be no Melbourne concert if not for Rosé. People just expected a warmer welcome for her all things considered she is supposed to be one of your own. It's sad that others may have been hyped over her. It could affect a future gig consideration.

[flint pewter]

Wow.

[manic forge]

That is not true, there are so many asian rosie stans, like myself.

[flint pewter]

Of course. But her most populus fandom are western and white statistically

[manic forge]

There would still be Melbourne, no matter what nationality/ethnicity the idol is people still love BLACKPINK as a whole not just rosie.

[flint pewter]

True but Bangkok treated Lisa like royalty so I guess we all expected Melbourne to do the same for R. Also there would not still be Melbourne without Rosé. Rod Laver is only a 14K arena. They definitely only went for Rosé.

I witnessed first hand Rosé getting loads of hype overseas. She is rock solid either way.

[manic forge]

So? please do not compare Australia to Bangkok, they still treated rosie amazingly.

I also witnessed first hand rosie getting so much support from everyone.

[flint pewter]

It's actually hugely complimentary to Bangkok. I mean Lisa is so lucky.

[manic forge]

Okay, so? Rosie was still treated with as much respect as Bangkok showed to lisa. please stop comparing the two countries and idols.

[flint pewter]

It wasn't the same. But that's okay cause Rosé is so loved overseas.

[manic forge]

It does not matter whether they where the same or not. Rosie is love by millions of Australians. It is okay for you to understand that.

[flint pewter]

I know she is I just wish she got a truer reflection of it. At the concerts she didn't but that's cause anyone can buy the tickets. But Rosé knows who her target audience are and let me tell you this girl is going places and is rock solid.

[manic forge]

Please do not disrespect Rosie and my hometown like that. Its not very blinkful of you to do so.

[flint pewter]

No disrespect. Just praising Rosé saying she has a lot of followers overseas who are gonna love on her when she comes here

[manic forge]

It is very much disrespect whether you implied it or not. Rosie is loved so very much greatly in Australia and in Melbourne by Asian and other nationalities of blinks. That is final.

[flint pewter]

Rosé is literally IT. She's the ultimate legend and for anyone at any concert to deny it would be silly.

[quiet pebble]

Wut 💀

[quiet pebble]

Wtf

[flint pewter]

can we please not do this again.

[nocturne bison]

I agree, Rosie’s international fan base makes up the majority of her admirers in comparison to Korea. In regards to the Melbourne crowd which was arguably weak, the issue moreover concerns the lack of energy in general than the lack of support for Rosie as an artist. For that I could only speak for day one, and Rosie’s instagram story saying that’d she’ll “definitely be back Sydney” is a hint that the Melbourne crowd was quieter and not as outstanding. Regardless, I don’t think the Melbourne crowd should feel insufficient or dejected for not doing enough, the blinks enjoyed the concert however they seemed fit and it’s not every concert the artists are lucky to have the crowd prioritise the idols enjoyment rather than their own.

[flint pewter]

I agree with that. Plus like I said I think that it was a coincidence that a lot of the fans that were there weren't Rosé's crowd because yes we did have high expectations for Melbourne internationally cause we know Aussies love Rosé but it was not a true reflection and we get that. I just felt a bit gutted for her in case she had higher expectations too but regardless Rosé's fandom is more international and that too explains it.

[chrome grove]

mhm i agree as well i feel like ppl’s expectations for the melbourne crowd were too high as the capacity was smaller than bangkok and people from other countries act different but aside from all that melbourne loved blackpink equally

[grizzled obsidian]

“We’re gonna miss u” “We’ll be back” aww I love them sm experiencing major concert depression rn

[flint pewter]

i loved jisoo’s outfit for the encore

[grizzled obsidian]

Yesss same here the merch is so pretty and aesthetic in general and they make it look 1000000x better even still

[manic forge]

thi is very inccorect, sydney has a wider arena than melbourne, you are being very disrespectful and rude. you where not there so be quiet. how much of a blonk can you be?

[manic forge]

EXACTLY. MELBOURNE IS WAY SMALLER.

[nocturne bison]

i dunno what the bot command is but last fm is a site for tracking music listening stats

[manic forge]

Day 1. not day 2.

[nocturne bison]

As mentioned in what I said (: and according to my experience in day 1, people preferred to film the performance rather than actively participate.

[wooden viper]

Rose also said she would be back in Melbourne in person on day 2

Why people make up assumptions

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye I’m going by her word not by random users (it’s even in the vid I sent earlier 😭)

[wooden viper]

I’m sure Melbourne concert was memorable for rose too , her parents were there and she cried on both days too , lol don’t listen to these random internet trolls,

[flint pewter]

She said that for every city.

She will def be back in Melbourne cause she has fam and friends there so will prob vacay

Everyone here seems to be a Jisoo or Lisa bias lol.

[grizzled obsidian]

Ye she def seems to lover her family

[grizzled obsidian]

OT4 but I like Jisoo’s role colour the most 💀

[manic forge]

Same though.

[flint pewter]

[flint pewter]

Couldn't miss the opportunity of getting to see them as many times as possible while they were here

[stiff ridge]

i xouldnt even go once

my parent wpnt allow

[flint pewter]

That sucks the ticket price went through the roof but I was able to get what I could pay for and it wasn't vip package

[grizzled obsidian]

I only went day 2 cuz I got the most expensive ticket so I def couldn’t afford another day 😭

[flint pewter]

I was never going to pay vip 😪 but twice I didn't mind the hot seat vip was good really enjoyed it ticketek Ultimate didn't help also .

I got Ultimate tickets at 700 everyday after I got them they been putting the price up every day I'm glad I got what I could to be able to see them both nights.

[grizzled obsidian]

Hope u enjoyed both nights I haven’t gotten vip for any other concert but I love bp sm and didn’t mind paying a lot and got in pretty early.

[flint pewter]

I love blackpink but I was never going to pay that amount on vip just glad to have been able to see them

[manic forge]

I was ready to pay $90 but because the standing was age limited, i ended up paying over $1000 for another seat. It was amazing though, i just sat in the very first row of the lowest seat right next to the glass. Best time in my whole entire life as of now,

[flint pewter]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[flint pewter]

Nice I'm not into lightsticks I'm just happy to enjoy seeing other people with them the sea of pink was amazing at the concert.

[grizzled obsidian]

Yess it’s so beautiful when the arena is full of them and when they started guiding the lightsticks to make a perfect wave

[flint pewter]

That was the best thing about the concert

[chrome grove]

i literally worried so much before the concert and bought a light stick off a sketchy bp merch website, it was 160 AUD and i regret it sm but the merch was amazing i got a lot of stuff

[flint pewter]

Everything was so cool really enjoyed it
