🇫🇷 Paris Encore (July 15, 2023)

[silk bough]

It's really nice what you propose, I already have two. Maybe we'll see each other at a concert

[silver peak]

Hello, I am selling two silvers ticket same price or 10% cheaper, I unfortunatly cannot attend the concert due to health problem. You have a very nice view from there !

[hot schooner]

It's silver not diamond

[silver peak]

ah sorry lol

Thank you for telling me

[fading ginkgo]

Yes sure, I'd love to

[silk bough]

Me it's rank 73 places 5 and 6

[late agate]

Hi yall! I've been asking this everywhere and didn't get any useful information. I bought tickets I don't really like and since I can't resell, nor upgrade (idk why, ticketmaster told me I can't) I was thinking of exchanging. Person I'm going with isn't interested in blackpink, so I want to get better seat for myself at least. If by any chance anyone wanna go with friend or something and have two different tickets, I can exchange, they're side by side. I paid 325 for both and will take 180-200 ticket and second can be cheapest. don't want any additional money. 🥲

[dire heron]

Where you are with you actual seat ?

[dire heron]

Pop Store Citadium Haussmann

[ruby siren]

Are they selling lightsticks as well ?

[dire heron]

Nope in the pop store.
Maybe in normal merch

[ruby siren]

Ok thanks 👍

[grand rock]

Hope it doesn't sell out before I get there this time

[wraith rampart]

Looks like they are sellingmerch before the day of the concert

Highly recommend going if you are near the area, less stressful than going to buy on the day of the concert.

[bronze wolf]

Do we need to sign in for a early thingy, or isn’t that possible

[dire heron]

You have to go in no need sign in i dont know if they presold

[jovial shoal]

Is this the merch from the pop-up store or also the ones they sell at the concert?

[wraith rampart]

That is the one they sell at the concert

[jovial shoal]

Aaaahhhh nooooo! I really don't like that design. I wanted those zip hoodies, and that cute pink embroidered sweater. Australia's merch😍

this! Too bad they aren't there😭😭😭

Crying😭

And I wanted that nice tshirt with the Born pink world tour text in a heart

[hardy vessel]

Australia got great merch, VIPs got laptop backpacks too

[wraith rampart]

Still wondering what will the VIP stuff they will give out

I am expecting a tote bag of some sort based on what I seen from other shows

Well 3 days left to know xD

[dire heron]

A pull

[dire heron]

Normal merch start 14th 10h - 20h

https://twitter.com/StadeFrance/status/1679156228013051904

[forest solar]

Someone has a E-ticket and still doesn't see anything in the SDF tickets app? They answered by email I should have everything, but nothing is there yet =/

[dire heron]

They can drop ticket 24h before.
If you dont saw. In all cases come with your paiement ticket Day of show.

[fossil hawk]

[jovial shoal]

In Australia and in other city's

I didn't see them in Paris at the merch announcement😭

[fossil hawk]

well that a shame they look quite cute

[hollow token]

My friend @fickle slate is being bullied on Twitter and called a Sasaeng by a random girl from Austria

Pls spread the word that this user is toxic

Any help is appreciated ❤️

[ruby siren]

For the RER B :
Interrupted

X Until 01/09, Monday to Friday, from 22:45 (except 13.14/07 and 14.15/08), traffic is interrupted between Gare du Nord and Aéroport CDG2/ Mitry-Claye due to works. Replacement buses are available. Details on the RER B blog.

It's not for Saturday so it's fine but it got me scared for a second

[wraith rampart]

Yeah same here but then I noticed it is also from 22:45, I will dodge that hour easily

[deep glacier]

I received my tickets on the app a few days ago but it keeps prompting me to transfer them to a guest? Do the tickets have to be on separate devices?

[late agate]

Z10, 19, 27&28 :')))

[rapid barn]

it's one ticket per phone yeah
(you can keep the people ticket if you're the guardian of an underage attending the concert)

[fossil hawk]

i finaly have my tickets

[crisp shell]

On my ticket on the stade de France app I have a notice that states “ticket available shortly. Your ticket will be activated on the day of the event.” I’m assuming there’s nothing else I need to do but wait until the 15th, correct?

[fossil hawk]

i believe so

[dire heron]

If you dont have your ticket the 15th come with your paiement proof

[grand rock]

Yes

[crisp shell]

Sounds good, thank you 🙂

[grand rock]

Tomorrow at 11 they'll be open again on 2 sides of the stadium

[heady ridge]

Looks like same merch as BST lol

[grand rock]

Some of it is indeed

Which is great

Saves me...

https://tenor.com/view/lalisa-manoban-k-pop-singing-money-gif-12037617

[heady ridge]

Some? Looks like all of it lol

[grand rock]

Least I got some Verdy merch this time

Well I mean they changed Hyde Park to stade de france but yeah

Did they have that zipper hoodie tho?

[heady ridge]

Ya I think so. We weren't in that merch line for too long for me to remember but everything looks the same lmao

[fossil hawk]

[grand rock]

Yeah same tbh, I musta missed that one

[grand rock]

Sure!

[heady ridge]

😭

[fossil hawk]

ill arrive in the afternoon haha

[grand rock]

Tomorrow?

You should be good, will be merch inside the stadium to

[fossil hawk]

awesome

[cosmic kettle]

It might be a stupid question but are there actually going to be seats in the standing area or it will be an acutal mess and the thing on a ticket doesnt matter, I cant find any positive about seats in standing. has anyone been to a SdF concert with such thing before? Im not sure if I have to queue early or no :c

Im vip2 if it matters

[dire heron]

If i understand all the flower is seat in this show.
In Stade de France depend of artist for Harry Style is on foot by zone for ex.

[bronze wolf]

We all have seats

[cosmic kettle]

Vip check-in starts at 3:30pm right?

[dire heron]

Check in / open Door at 15h30 to 16h30

For vip 2 3

[deep glacier]

Just had my phone stolen on Paris metro😭

[wraith rampart]

How did that happen?

[grand rock]

You're kidding

[deep glacier]

Was trying to get home from the sacré-coeur, got on the train and someone just grabbed it out of my pocket and ran ):

[grand rock]

Paris is notorious for that

We made it to the hotel safely

[heady ridge]

How was breakfast

[rapid barn]

I didn't sleep at all

arriving in 45

[fossil hawk]

I am in the bus now will be a long ride

[rapid barn]

when are you here?

[fossil hawk]

Like 14 40 i arrive in Paris

[grand rock]

Gonna get the breakfast of champions soon

[hardy vessel]

take care of yourself, don't forget to drink and bring back paracetamol if you ever have a headache from singing or other

[fossil hawk]

I have cookies as breakfast and some thing with a bit of protean

[hardy vessel]

thats pretty good

do you plan to eat at the Stade de France?

[dire heron]

[fossil hawk]

Dinner atleast somewhere in the area

It will be a long day evening and night

[hardy vessel]

yeah for sure

[fossil hawk]

But I have experience in surviving so should be fine also have water and a bit of cola to last the coming 5 more hours or so

[hardy vessel]

I hope we all survive before the concert and that it won't be too hot -

btw are you aware of the fanbase projects or not?

[fossil hawk]

Omg yes I left and it was cold but I am sweating right now in the bus

[fossil hawk]

Alittle but with the lights and stuff but I forgot to screen shot it so idk when haha thought it was solos

[hardy vessel]

normally it's supposed to be 26 degrees so it's still hot but it's bearable

[fossil hawk]

I am happy I also brought a short sleeve

Just hope I will be allowed to bring my very small sleeping bag 😅

[hardy vessel]

ohhh I see, do you want me to send them back?

[fossil hawk]

If you could send them to me or link them that be nice

[hardy vessel]

in general the bags are accepted but I believe that if they are the size of an Eastpak where this kind of thing is prohibited

[fossil hawk]

No I have an a4 thing as they said but the thing I'll sleep in is in there since I sleep in the airport

Should be fine

[hardy vessel]

oh okok

i hope too

[fossil hawk]

Yes haha we will see

[hardy vessel]

https://twitter.com/Blackpinkfrr/status/1667112304561848321?t=mAYoLatHEw5LCnewnmUQcw&s=19

[fossil hawk]

Awesome thanks you!!

[hardy vessel]

No worries !

[fossil hawk]

Well I'll be in Belgium probwly soon so no Internet hope yall will enjoy this day bye bye for now!

[ruby siren]

Scuffed solution to the "no lightstick" problem

[fossil hawk]

Picaso I like it!

[ruby siren]

Well thank you!

[fickle slate]

Guys when does Soundcheck start since check in is at 15:30 to 16:30

[rapid barn]

somewhere between 17 and 18 I guess

since doord open at 18:30

[ruby siren]

There was info in a e-mail I think I'm trying to find it

[rapid barn]

the email doesn't mention time for it

only rules and whatnot

[fickle slate]

Yeah

[ruby siren]

Okay mb but I remember seeing the info somewhere

[fickle slate]

Okay so somewhere between 17:00 and 18:00? But when do doors open for us haha

[hardy vessel]

soundcheck start at 15h30

[rapid barn]

15:30

[hardy vessel]

doors open for non vip at 18h30

[hardy vessel]

byeee 🩷🩷

[rapid barn]

check in are at the doors, we don't check in outside

also merch booth inside is till 17 for us so I guess that's because they have better to do afterwards

[fickle slate]

Doesn't check in mean as getting wristbands and lanyards and then later we can go in 🥲

I'm so confused

[hardy vessel]

the vips come in for the soundcheck at 15:30

and then they leave and come back for the opening of the doors at 18:30

[rapid barn]

check in might be outside but exclusive vip goodies are distributed behind the doors so we have to get in, as said in the mail

they also mention kinda everywhere that leaving the stadium is definitive so we're trapped into the stadium from check in to end of the show

(at least thats what the mail says)

[hardy vessel]

but normally after the soundcheck you go out right?

[rapid barn]

maybe outside the stadium but still behind the doors

but to be fair I don't get why we should get out

[fickle slate]

No doors open at 18:30 for non VIPs my other friends said that because they are in section H1

[rapid barn]

if we can I'd be more than happy tbh

https://puu.sh/JKOVE/daca7cd656.png

English below if you want to re read the mail

[fickle slate]

Ig I'll be at the stadium at 14:30 to see what goes on 😅

[hardy vessel]

because between the end of the soundcheck and the concert there's a lot of time isn't it?

[rapid barn]

yes, about 3h

[hardy vessel]

damn

[rapid barn]

why do you think they advertise they sell food everywhere

[hardy vessel]

MDRR

[wraith rampart]

@grand rock same but im going to have lunch nearby there

[fickle slate]

Oh wait guys I'm sorry if asking sm but on the app it said that check in is at 15:30 that also means, entry into the stadium is also at 15:30 and merch shop is open until 17:00

[hardy vessel]

for vips yep

[rapid barn]

yeah that's it

[wraith rampart]

We cant leave after the soundcheck? I think I eared from past shows that the VIPs would leave after then soundcheck and then line up again for the show

If I have to eat in the stade is fine, just wondering what will happen

[rapid barn]

maybe then

[dire heron]

You cant leave after the SCheck x)

[rapid barn]

I'd think they'd put it in the mail if it was the case

[wraith rampart]

Hmm let check it again

Yeah seems like it, no problem then

[grand rock]

Yeah same sorta

[wraith rampart]

Btw dont forget to update your lightsticks, just in case you forgot

If you are going to buy it today download the app before going to the show to save some mobile data

[grand rock]

Good shout, just done it

[jovial shoal]

I’m on my way to paris!

[ripe lava]

Anybody else already at the stadium?

[deep glacier]

How early are people getting there? Want to get merch but don’t want to wait for ages before doors (:

[ripe lava]

Queue for merch right now is only a few minutes

[cosmic kettle]

anyone knows where the entrance is? Everything I see are the barriers around the stadium possible entrances

[hardy vessel]

it depends on your place and the door where you are

[cosmic kettle]

Just found it

[wraith rampart]

Did you need to pass security to reach the merch store?

[ripe lava]

Nope

[grand rock]

Thanks, quiekly went to get my hoodie

[ripe lava]

Oh nice where are you now?

[grand rock]

Hotel to drop it off

My hotel is nearby

[ripe lava]

Oh okay

[grand rock]

My friends stays elsewhere, waiting for her atm

[fossil hawk]

So they also have food stands right?

[ripe lava]

I don't see one nearby the gates

But there is a fast food restaurant close by

[fossil hawk]

I see good to know thank you

[crisp shell]

Soundcheck is at 6pm

According to the twitter

[trim cosmos]

KFC, Quick and 5 mins towards the train station, McDonald’s
There’s also food stands and bars around

[ripe lava]

What's wrong with people throwing away the beautiful box 😭

[hardy vessel]

That's why I always tell people buy your lightstick before the concert. It was so bad in Paris last time that the boxes were even littering the street cause people didn't want to carry them for the concert

[hardy vessel]

insiste the stadium

[fossil hawk]

Ohh i see keep it in mind

[fossil hawk]

Ohh thank you !

[fossil hawk]

Metro is confusing but ingot it

[hardy vessel]

lmaooo yeah

[ornate glen]

They're finally letting people in at gate N

[fickle slate]

What is VIP 1 Gift?

[ornate glen]

Not sure but vip2/3 is a backpack and a lanyard

[fickle slate]

Ahh okayy thank youuuu

[ripe lava]

I love my backpack!!!

Gonna use it everywhere!

[ornate glen]

I think 6pm for the soundcheck is accurate because there's no way everyone's gonna be in their seats by 5pm

[shrewd gull]

Hello, ticket sale:

[WTS] Paris Stade de France - 15th July 2023
Number of tickets : 1
Category 5, Bloc Z8, row 63 seat 31
Price : 80 euros (original price 95,50 €)

[tepid summit]

Heyyy does anyone know when the doors will open for seating tickets??

[grand rock]

All tickets are seat, you vip or ga?

[fossil hawk]

Normal tickets I tought around 18 30 but I might be off

[shrewd gull]

6:30

[ornate glen]

At gate N they just started letting people into the pitch (in small batches)

[tepid summit]

ga

[tepid summit]

Oh okkk thanks

[fossil hawk]

Also we can't bring food into the venue right?

[forest solar]

Just entered with a totebag and food, all ok

[ornate glen]

Yeah the bag search was not at all thorough

[fossil hawk]

Good cause I have cookies I am already next to the stadium

[onyx patio]

Anyone in the vip section can take a pic of a whole chair setup?

Appreciate

@forest solar

[hardy vessel]

for the concert only sandwiches are allowed

[fossil hawk]

They will just throw it away I guess?

[hardy vessel]

idk

maybe we can eat them outside? where they will let you pass with

[fossil hawk]

The outside area wad fine

So I will see

[ornate glen]

I can't upload photos here but it's proper seats. There's enough space to stand up but not much else. I don't think this could ever turn into a pit

[cosmic kettle]

Thought I had good spot but some animals jumped ON the chairs blocking whole view yikes

[ornate glen]

Yeah unless security gets involved I expect everyone to be standing on their seats eventually

[hardy vessel]

there is very little chance that they will remain seated they will get up

[cosmic kettle]

we mean that they are staying on their chairs blocking the view of everyone, its obvious noone will remain seated but theres a difference between staying and straight up being an animal

[hardy vessel]

ohhh

I'm not surprised either but I think it will be managed by security for the concert

[cosmic kettle]

Some people even told them to stop but they were jist like “i dont care”

I hope security won’t be afk during the actual show

[hardy vessel]

i hope too

[crisp shell]

A lot of kids standing cause they’re too short as well aha

[cosmic kettle]

kids are fine, even on the chair they’re on the same height as adults

[crisp shell]

Also, anyone in P22-24 row 1 want to make an extra $500? I’m in P24 Row 4 but I want to move up aha, I can PayPal anyone $500 interested in switching!

Not sure if that’s allowed but thought I’d ask!

[rapid barn]

people got bring down during BTS show back then, I expect it to be the same here

soundcheck is a bit different I guess

[cosmic kettle]

[grand rock]

They just told the section to stay seated

But I mean..

[rapid barn]

let's see how it goes

wanna try to snatch one of those unsold seat

[grand rock]

Haha yeah same

[rapid barn]

[grand rock]

Or claim barricades

Looks empty

[heady ridge]

Omw

[grand rock]

Bring the Haribo

[rapid barn]

do you eat somewhere outside after concert?

[grand rock]

Eh idk, theres a mac nearby but i'm not ready for that queue

Saturday night in paris, concert day

[rapid barn]

hahaha

fair

y'all have accommodations near stadium?

[grand rock]

Yeah Novatel

[rapid barn]

I should get back into Paris before eating

[iron agate]

Did anyone buy a light stick outside with no battery and know where you go get one?

[crisp shell]

You can get batteries from the store, I think it was a few euros extra

[iron agate]

Ah ok thank you

The re queue begins!

[ornate glen]

Anyone on the pitch, want to meet up and chat? Not much to do until 9 and my neighbors are not talkative

[grand rock]

@heady ridge i see our friend!

[rapid barn]

where you at

[ornate glen]

In my seat very close to the BLOC P33 sign but can come wherever

[rapid barn]

omw

I'm next to the sign

[rapid barn]

that security guard is a buzz kill

[ornate glen]

So is this WC queue

[rapid barn]

[rapid barn]

oh Lounge it is

[hybrid solar]

It’s a coincidence. I didn’t know that E11 is lounge 🙈

[rapid barn]

yeah it's right under

[hybrid solar]

Last year I had vip experience, but it costs me more than 1000€ 😅

[dense socket]

standing area looks so empty tho, i don’t believe it that people all the way in the back are gonna stay seated there

[hybrid solar]

45 minutes left!!! 🖤💖🖤💖

[hybrid solar]

It’s not real standing area, it’s just sitting on the floor. I don’t like this concept. In Germany we had real standing area

[dense socket]

but i guess here people would be literally crashing each other

[rapid barn]

yeah it goes nicely with other shows but I don't expect much from kpop crowd sadly

I mean we already saw them standing up on their chair

[grand rock]

It only takes one

[rapid barn]

Muse show last week went smoothly and the pit was packed af

[hybrid solar]

I remember at the Blackpink concert in Cologne many people collapsed and needed ambulance.

Standing seat.. first rows. No water for a long time..

And the excitement 😆😆😆

I am so happy to see them again in less than 30 minutes ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[dense socket]

at least there’s more air here

and better internet lmao

[forest solar]

Lightstick not connecting on android, is there another app?? :/

[wraith rampart]

Here are the colors, the lightstick app is having issues

White just go with light of phone i guess

[ornate glen]

Are they waiting for sunset?

[hardy vessel]

Same as Australia!!

[hardy vessel]

Ooh what do the backpacks look like?

[hardy vessel]

Is security doing nothing?

[hardy vessel]

Wait was there empty seats near the barricade? I thought they would all sell out. Are they the €1000 ones?

[hardy vessel]

Judging from those pics there whoever is in the first block to the left and right has the best proximity. The block after that prob won't see much if everyone is standing

[ornate glen]

Well that was one hell of a show, and I gotta say better than Hyde park in every way (except for Jennie's hood)

[hardy vessel]

Yall are sooo lucky! I hope yall enjoyed, looked amazing!!

[hardy vessel]

What would you rate higher? Stadium show or arena show?

[ornate glen]

The only arena show I've seen was Berlin and aside from Blinks being ridiculously laud there it does not compare

[rapid barn]

banger

[ornate glen]

This has to be one of the best kpop concerts in Europe recently, and if not then I've been missing out lol

[rapid barn]

so much firework it was basically bastille day encore

aight I'm on the bridge

[hardy vessel]

Ok so stadium it is!

[hardy vessel]

Did you get good seats?

[ornate glen]

Yup back of the section in front of the catwalk - was worth it

Or do you mean the arena show?

[hardy vessel]

Were they the €1000 ones? Gosh I would be so tempted but I would be in huge trouble

[ornate glen]

400

The front was 1000

[rapid barn]

I saw so many kids in the 400 ones

[ornate glen]

Nice but def not worth the 600

[rapid barn]

like single digit age kids

[hardy vessel]

No the stadium one. €400 wow ok so catwalk good spot!

[rapid barn]

we don't have the same childhood

[ornate glen]

Maybe vert young kids don't need tickets

[hardy vessel]

Anyone have a pic of your backpacks? Dying to see! Also what did VIP1 get?

[rapid barn]

took a quick one earlier

[rapid barn]

anyone one needs ticket here

[hardy vessel]

Oh niceee! They are better than the tote bags imo. Those look really sturdy. You could bring them to college or travelling

[rapid barn]

yeah they're legit big

[hardy vessel]

Did VIP 1 get the same or did they get more extra stuff?

[heady ridge]

BlackPink University

[hardy vessel]

Lol yeah! Noel you needed this one for travelling to Europe!

[heady ridge]

Smh I know. Im boutta have so many of these now lmao

[hardy vessel]

You could sell the ones you don't want. I mean I would buy a bag like that anyway but one with a BP logo? Heck yeahhh

[heady ridge]

Are you going to any show? I could gift one to you 🙂

[hardy vessel]

I'm not sadly 😪 I went to two already to be fair and would find it hard to fork out for another at this time. If anything miraculous happens in the meantime I'll let you know 😊

[heady ridge]

We'll stay in touch. I'll get you a backpack )

🙂

[hardy vessel]

You're way too kind thank you! If you prefer to sell I'm cool with that 😊

[heady ridge]

I prefer to just give Blinks stuff at a fair cost (or free) like I did with my oreos

[hardy vessel]

That's real nice of you. There are some really cool blinks out there like that. Can't wait for the Starbucks merch btw I hope they make it international 🤞

[heady ridge]

Im making my PH co-workers get me the stuff lol

[hardy vessel]

Lollll that's what friends are for! I'm sure it will show up somewhere but probably at higher prices 😬

[grand rock]

I think they got a white cap

On top of the bag

Lots of Vip 1's had it

[hardy vessel]

That's cool! I kinda expected them to get more for the price though ngl. I feel like in the early arena shows they got a lot of extras

[heady ridge]

Still omw with Harribo

[grand rock]

I'm happy with the bag tho

Nice surprise

Omg bringggg

[heady ridge]

We did get a lot. And then the party and sendoff lol

[grand rock]

I need the champions breakfast king

[hardy vessel]

I think that's excellent merch. To think we just got neck scarfs in our shows!

[grand rock]

Its amazing

Concert itself was sooo good

[heady ridge]

UGH IM SO READY

[grand rock]

Loved the crowd to

So much for seated concerts

I suppose it was nice to sit for a second during dance break

[hardy vessel]

I think those people are really happy they went premium when they did. Shame send offs were scrapped altogether.

[hardy vessel]

Are you going to any more shows Mike?

[heady ridge]

Lol sitting

[hardy vessel]

Did you get close enough for a Jisoo interaction?

[heady ridge]

Ya I know but the pit and VIP1 is so much more now. It was harder for people to get interactions, imagine two whole pits

[ripe lava]

This was the best night of my life! Thank you everyone for being part of it! 🖤🩷

[heady ridge]

🥺

Imma bawl my eyes during STAY again SMH

[hardy vessel]

Interesting yeah. Were you guys told not to go near the barrier? I saw some videos and the people in the front rows looked like they weren't near the barrier. With so many people I guess it would be harder

[heady ridge]

If you're referring to today. I wasn't there LOL. My other shows I was barricade (Atlanta, Coachella, Hyde). I was fine on the barricade. I guess this is different because this was all seated. US has two pits standing for 3 of 4 shows SMH

[hardy vessel]

Oh sorry that's right 😅 Oh I thought all the encores were fully seated. Which ones have standing pit?

I think that would be really rough. Standing pit for a stadium crowd? Yikes. It's hard enough to get a good spot if it's an arena

[heady ridge]

NJ, Vegas, SF. (IN)conveniently... all the ones i am attending SMH

I think im gonna vary my spots per show

[hardy vessel]

So LA is all seated?

[heady ridge]

Ya

Afaik

[robust pumice]

It was an amazing concert!

[hardy vessel]

I was in the standing pit twice and I cannot imagine competing with stadium numbers for that.

Anyone know what the song changes were in the encore btw? No Kill This Love I heard 😭

[heady ridge]

Stay --> YYY --> AIIYL

[heady ridge]

Stadium numbers and the weather here too ☠️

[hardy vessel]

Did they not do AIIYL live before on this tour or am I tripping?

[hardy vessel]

Omg yeah the heat!! I can imagine a lot of people will be passing out

[grand rock]

Probably not this tour but well, I know myself lol

[grand rock]

No it was pretty hard to get noticed

[heady ridge]

See you in the US buddy

[hardy vessel]

That's fair. I guess this one seems like more for the spectacle than interaction. The standing in the US shows probably will get more interactions but it will be a more gruelling competition I imagine.

[rapid barn]

they were supposed to get something extra but from what I gathered they got scammed

[grand rock]

Bruh, I can't.

[heady ridge]

I'll fight

[hardy vessel]

I hope it's not too long a wait for another tour. I enjoyed this one so much.

[heady ridge]

Boo

[hardy vessel]

Lol just use the old elbows!

[grand rock]

Yeah and the spot I had wasnt great for it. Think you get more near the catwalk

Which is what I'll try next

But no, not in US

Leave me alone @heady ridge

[heady ridge]

Wow. You made me come see you in Europe but you wont come see me. So fake. Im heartbroken

[grand rock]

Me to, amazing shows with amazing people

[heady ridge]

No more harribo

[grand rock]

Except Noel

[midnight zephyr]

what’s the start and end time for the show?

[grand rock]

No Haribo, no amazing

[heady ridge]

Shit. Im on the next flight with Harribo now

[grand rock]

I'm not sure but it lasted almost 2h alltogether

[hardy vessel]

Seriously?? I wonder...I don't know what VIP 1 got in Australia but whatever it was, I think Paris should have got too since both countries got backpacks and lanyards.

[cosmic kettle]

the backpack is big enough to pack everything I have AND the old backapack itself, great vip gift 10/10

[midnight zephyr]

Can someone check the timestamp on the photos

[heady ridge]

LOL

I know they started late

Classic

[cosmic kettle]

start around 9:35 pm or something

[heady ridge]

But almost 40 minutes late lol

[heady ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/sheeesh-sheesh-gif-22353817

[cosmic kettle]

and finished about 11:40-45

[hardy vessel]

I had a better experience at the Paris concert than the US one I went to cause I got a better spot and it made the world of difference. I just feel like it was pure luck though. I couldn't tell from the map alone how good those seating positions were for you guys.

[dire heron]

They have BP pins and cap of normal merch

[hardy vessel]

Yeah backpack is a great idea. At least they forked out a bit more on the merch considering prices for the tickets went up

[hardy vessel]

Was that including soundcheck or no?

[rapid barn]

like Diamond 1 was 800 bucks so VIP markup was 500 euros
They didn't get shit remotely near of that value

[cosmic kettle]

Yeah I paid 2.5x more for the ticket comparing ones in December so im glad they gave me a backpack not a bandana

[rapid barn]

21h40 to 23h40, started very late but they kept the 2 hours thing

[fossil hawk]

In my trian to the airport still shaking this was the best atmoshpere I have ever been in

[forest solar]

It was awesome

[hardy vessel]

I would feel slightlyyy cheated if I was VIP 1. I guess you're paying for the position more than anything but dang those prices. Pit prices for the US encores must be huge too

[hardy vessel]

The bandanas were lame. I had no idea what to do with them. Even if we just got pins or a keyring I would actually use that

[cosmic kettle]

The funny thing was the security guys were trying to sit us down when BP came on stage finally

[grand rock]

No

[cosmic kettle]

everyone was confused during first song but by the second one everyone was having fun

[hardy vessel]

That's good, you guys got an extra chunk of time for encore

[grand rock]

They gave up sitting us down at the 2nd song

[cosmic kettle]

Yeah

[grand rock]

At least people keot it somewhat civil by not standing on the seats anymore

[cosmic kettle]

they actually tried again during solo intros

Yeah thank god they didnt try that again

[grand rock]

Oh did they

[cosmic kettle]

standing on chairs I mean

[rapid barn]

talk about your section

[cosmic kettle]

They didnt

Atleast in p14

[grand rock]

I was

P14 indeed

[rapid barn]

yeah I know haha, it's like rhetoric

the worse was like I had a good view on the Catwalk diagonally

and everyone started to quit their seat and go in the alley

security took some time to get these people back

[hardy vessel]

Did Rosé sing Hard to Love?

[grand rock]

No

[hardy vessel]

Also did they say something along the lines of goodbye Europe? I know they said this was the last show in Europe, I'm sure it is but was anything said tonight to confirm?

[rapid barn]

too bad we didn't have lalisa it was banger with live band

[hardy vessel]

Aww, I love that one.

[grand rock]

They said they'll be back

I have hopes for at least more Blackpink in the future

But i dont think another concert anytime soon

[hardy vessel]

Ah I see

Hmmm you never knowww

[grand rock]

True

If they do, i'll be there

I vote Wembley

[hardy vessel]

Me too!!!

Wembley would be amazing. I am surprised they didn't do it.

[grand rock]

Yea would have been something

[hardy vessel]

I would love to see them in Spain too. Sun holiday and concert in one 😎

[grand rock]

Spain could be fun

[hardy vessel]

I just hope they don't mean they'll be back for their fashion events or something

[dire heron]

Sure and sadly for the encore security so bad.

[hardy vessel]

Wow really? How?

[grand rock]

This group aint going nowhere, ot4 will be here to stay

[dire heron]

Some People in the back come in the front stage

[hardy vessel]

You mean they had seats at the back but came up to stand near the front?

[dire heron]

Yes. I undersand they whant take picture.

[hardy vessel]

All I can say is, they better not do a ticket lottery like Taylor Swift cause that sucks 😭

[hardy vessel]

Still though, strange security allowed it. People pay to be that close and then people can just walk up close, a bit weird

[dire heron]

In Vip check we have one staff for all section.
0 at 21h and in the front on security Gard at each corner of stage...

[grand rock]

Omg hell no

[heady ridge]

Dont gotta tell me three times...

[ornate glen]

@hardy vessel it sucks but are the alternatives any better? Crazy prices/browser refresh lottery/exhausted artists

[high echo]

what was the second song?

[grand rock]

I had no issues so far getting tickets tbh

[fossil hawk]

Goodnight everyone was awesome!

[ornate glen]

Which means there's no need for a lottery, at least for now

[grand rock]

I know, I don't want it

[heady ridge]

Anyone gotta nice picture of the backpack

[heady ridge]

Extra Harribo otw

[grand rock]

https://tenor.com/view/haribo-doigt-d-honneur-middle-finger-gif-14055605

[jovial shoal]

De show was amazing!

[wraith rampart]

It was such a cool show, the crowd was amazing

[rapid barn]

[hardy vessel]

Me neither!

[hardy vessel]

Very nice!! That's a keeper.

I hope this thread doesn't die now ☹️

[grand rock]

My fave already

They'll close the thread eventually

[midnight zephyr]

did they peform KTL?

[cosmic kettle]

im almost sure they didnt but might be a memory error

[midnight zephyr]

hmm i am wondering if it has to do the riot

cause that's the only reason I can think of

[heady ridge]

The backpack looks small in this picture lol

[heady ridge]

It was the BST setlist and then encore songs. There was no KTL in BST

[midnight zephyr]

yeah I wondered if it has anything to do with the riot in Paris

[grand rock]

Its normal size I'd say

Where is my breakfast?

[rapid barn]

yeah it's normal size, so you can fit a 17' laptop in it

[hardy vessel]

I can't believe they put Yeah Yeah Yeah in and not KTL one of their most popular songs of all time 🤔

[jovial shoal]

I missed kill this love! One of my favorite songs!

[dire heron]

@hardy vessel I dont understand why im sure i dance 2 or 3 time ktl but they dont Play it.
Maybe because we saw the mv 3 times. I m lost

[hardy vessel]

yeah i was thinking about that too lmaooo

[hardy vessel]

bcs yyy its an encore stage and this is their new song

ktl is less known than dddd so i think that's why

[hardy vessel]

If they did a vote for fans I think most would prefer KTL if there was a choice. That's the song that got many people interested in BP

[dire heron]

In the first waitting playlist crew enjoy BPTG trailer was amazing

[dire heron]

Maybe they remove for kick it ?

[hardy vessel]

yeah i agree, but the encore stages have always been the same so it would have surprised me, then from what I saw it's a mix of the tracklist of coachella and bst. Then yyy is more fun for a gig ending

[hardy vessel]

I think it is

Seems like some of the encore elements were introduced in Australia. Since then, the biggest changes were swapping dancers and costumes and no KTL it seems.

You know the way in the other shows they had those videos where they're all in a forest and stuff? Did they play those?

[dire heron]

They cant Play all song for example i love sœur candy , dont know what to do and you never know (and more songs) and they arent in the Playset but idk.

[hardy vessel]

only to present the solos

[hardy vessel]

I get that but Kick it and YYY can't compete with KTL

[hardy vessel]

Oh really? Interesting

Yep !

[hardy vessel]

maybe they wanted to play other songs than ktl since they play it all the time

[hardy vessel]

They play all their hits all the time. I don't think that was the right one to swap. It's one that everyone wants to hear.

fans are happy to see other music, even though ktl is very good music

[hardy vessel]

Me personally, I don't want YYY or Kick it instead of KTL

in any case there will necessarily be yyy it's an encore stage

The one change I was happy to see and sad I did not see was Jennie performing Solo.

yeaaah

it was great

Wish she did Solo in all of them

maybe

@hardy vessel

[hardy vessel]

ohhh

[finite night]

Was lit

[crisp shell]

If anyone wants to relive the "everyone silence" moment: https://youtube.com/shorts/DrnPHEZ1Zgw?feature=share

[wraith rampart]

I think they played it on the dancing before the encore at least, and on the mv before the start of the show

[hardy vessel]

I was checking out US ticket prices and is it just me or are they even higher than Paris? Seating positions that were €300/€400 in Paris are like $800 US. Also kinda insane that everyone in the standing pit is being charged $1000.

[heady ridge]

No idea. I never looked at the sitting prices for one second when buying my tickets ☠️

But ya the pit is expensive lol

[dire heron]

VIP 1 1400€ 2 550 & 3 400

[hardy vessel]

Kinda crazy to compare the prices between countries and even crazier to compare the prices from the start of the tour to the end of the tour. They've gone up massively 😞

[hardy vessel]

The seating map for New Jersey is wild because the same seats VIP 3 had in Paris are like $800

[dire heron]

In Paris they miss the tarket one mounth before they remove lot of place one left catégory and 2 weeks on Diamant seat

[nimble lantern]

wow

i jut got back home in Spain

and wow,, that was so much bette thanmy last one I went to

[grand rock]

Still onw home, at Antwerp atm

[dire heron]

[grand rock]

Finally at Rotterdam, can get some food

[ripe lava]

I'm going to rotterdam right now

Today I went to the Eifel Tower, Arc de triomf and the pop up store

[grand rock]

We went to Notre Dame and pop up store to

I'm about to leave Rotterdam

But at least I had some food

[dire heron]

You see Notre Dame ?

[grand rock]

The outside of it. Seems like they were still restoring it

We basicly toured through Paris

Then we sat down at a Korean food place alltho it was too hot for me to eat

[dire heron]

Yes they close the place in front of.

[grand rock]

We didn't really check. To hot and too dead

It kinda hurts to talk still

[hardy vessel]

Did you get good seats for encore?

[rapid barn]

because all the ticketing in the USA use dynamic pricing while it isn't the case in France (apart from platinum offer)
Plus TM got monopole in the US so they can just charge what they want, whereas you could by tickets for Paris show at all kind of places, you would sell less if you were more expensive than other places

[nimble lantern]

I was Y10 back of the stdaium

but row 1

I had a great view of the creen, no one in front of me

I really enjoyed it...

it beat Barcelona for me 10x imo

[hardy vessel]

That's good, nice not to have heads in front of you and to sit and enjoy!

[hardy vessel]

Interesting, kinda sucks though for US blinks

[hardy vessel]

Were you standing or sitting in Barcelona btw? Nice to not have a squashed pit at the encore

[nimble lantern]

Sitting

I never do standing

I would only ever dostanding if I bought vip

if not sitting is my go to

[hardy vessel]

That's fair, it did look like a great atmosphere, more of a spectacle

[grand rock]

I'm screwed

Accident on train track

[nimble lantern]

What is happening with LA PARISIEN.., Why are french fanbase saying shame

could someone explain please

ALL THE ARTICLES ARE IN FRENCH so I understand nothing

caps

[grand rock]

They wrote a bs article about the concert

[nimble lantern]

oh.. da heck

bruh

[dire heron]

@nimble lantern
They say BP is for children girls only cryng and sexualize with the dress code.
The journalist dont enjoy her show.
She make insta story she need a dolipran (medical) after the first song.
She focus on price no on the show, skill or other.
And for exemple she said the show are not sold out because she see Black section. And no notice the back floor push for going in front.

[dire heron]

I saw Jisoo when i saw your pp you hurt mi heart

[grand rock]

How I feel everytime I see Jichu

[dire heron]

She notice my korean neighbor i feel she notice me

[hardy vessel]

My friend is white and at the last concert Jisoo ignored her 🤣

[hardy vessel]

Sounds like she's not a kpop fan

[dire heron]

Oh no

Obviously

I need to look what she was going to say about ramnstein show next week

[hardy vessel]

Yup she was in front of me in the front row. She tried hard but no wave from Jisoo. I told her maybe you need to say something in Korean to impress her

[dire heron]

Jisoo in Paris be super shy but i think she enjoy the show and saw how People like her.

[hardy vessel]

She seems quite shy in the western shows yeah. PS who is the journalist who gave a bad review?

[dire heron]

She smile all time (but they all smile in this show x) ) and be fun with jennie.
Dont know just she dont like maybe she think is general opinion in France...

[rapid barn]

Guardian gave 5* to RV show in London beside journalist not being either (and considering all the pbs the Tour had)
That lady was just here straight for blood

[rapid barn]

https://twitter.com/MariePoussel

[hardy vessel]

Thanks! Never heard of her, I guess it's not her scene. She's not wrong about the prices of tickets though.

[rapid barn]

She said a good number of truths but it's shaded by all the bullshit around

[hardy vessel]

because she has trouble speaking English and even less French

while the others are fluent in English and know French words

@hardy vessel moreover normally if they didn't play klt it's because they were too late and to catch up they didn't sing it

[midnight zephyr]

Why I feel that she might be an army lol. Cause talking about the attendance I think BTS single date might have less attendance?

[midnight zephyr]

But I do share some disappointment in term of concert production. YG is really being cheap, hope the pinks don’t need to work with them for concert production in future

[hardy vessel]

I don't think that's the reason. The song was swapped for something else - YYY or Kick It. It's obviously no longer on the setlist since they dropped it at BST too

[rapid barn]

BTS two dates were really sold out back in the days but the configuration had slightly less seats
BP did not sold out the show but they had more seats to sell so hard to know until we have official numbers

[hardy vessel]

It's not because Blackpink can't sell out. But the prices are ridiculous and very classist. Concert tickets are expensive for popular groups but when it costs the same as a full blown holiday then there's something not right about that.

[rapid barn]

Yeah for sure, I never said it was BP fault, it was mostly the most expensive tickets that were left

I was just stating facts, they sold out their config vs BP didn't so unless someone gives official numbers we can't compare because we can't be sure they sold more tickets (I think they did but I don't like to speak without sources)

[dire heron]

She is fluent when she need. She understand more than people believe.
She juste dont need to take the lead when she are with girls.

[dire heron]

In Paris production are one level more. Juste insame i dont see people complain about production.
More about organization and security.

[dire heron]

The obstructed tickets are at the same price to normal ticket. That not very help.

[hardy vessel]

yes she understands English, but she does not speak it so in any case if we do not speak a language fluently we remain in difficulty 🤷🏻‍♀️

[dire heron]

She speak with her relative staff (for ex in Dior vlog) maybe she dont whant to make mistake.

[wraith rampart]

Just noticed I caugh them peaking at the crowd before the soundcheck xD

[hardy vessel]

lmzooo

[midnight zephyr]

wondering how much their tickets are. 53000 attendees for a concert in stade de France is really low though. AEG claimed BP had 60000 so it should be at least close to this number

[midnight zephyr]

But they are still using the same stage. As the writer said you need a much bigger stage to make a better impact. YG is just being cheap/lazy they don’t want to invest more to the stadium tour just sticked to the stage/screens they used for the arena tour

[midnight zephyr]

I am dreaming of the pinks working with the team at Taylor’s level. Unfortunately the production YG had for stadium shows is not great even by K-pop standards. And it’s going to be the highest revenue Kpop tour only because of the pinks

[dire heron]

Taylor production use the same stage for all show.
They invest in Firework effects.
All production use the smaller stage for make their stage. They cant module stage for each stadium.

[midnight zephyr]

Don’t understand why ppl are still defending YG, this company is utterly disrespectful. 25+ stadium shows alone is already bigger than 99.9% K-pop groups tour and they decided to use same basic stage and screens for all these shows. If you can find a stadium show with smaller stage/screens I will shut up for good

[high echo]

right? like i love blackpink so much but YG is doing them so dirty. so many other groups have beautiful stages which blackpink could have too but YG is being too cheap with them. yes, it does not have to be fancy but for a worldwide famous group, the stage is extremely simple. i am disappointed in YG they need to step up their game☹️☹️

[hardy vessel]

They didn't lose attendees because of the stage, it's the ticket prices. That's the first thing YG needs to change.

[dire heron]

Because is normal for all tour if you see other artist they still use them stage they not change at all show. We can note stage scream are smaller but their are not change for one show.
For Europe TM and AEG have the control of price.

Loock price for other artists in Paris.

[high echo]

i’m not really talking about statistics like tickets but i’m just saying like YG designed the stage so boring. they could’ve made a really cool stage but they just went with a simple design, which isn’t very interesting. as a really big artist i feel like blackpink deserves to have a grand, fancy stage just so they can actually make their tour feel more blackpink, dygwim?

[dire heron]

They can change in futur tour if BP no disband.

[high echo]

yeah, it’s just that i feel like YG is being too boring and not making the concert actually feel like a tour of one of the biggest girl groups in the world. like imagine if the stage looked like this, it would have such a personalized feel

[dire heron]

I hope a stage with more advanced front. And perform more in the front.

[midnight zephyr]

The whole born pink era give me the feeling that YG doesn’t give a fuck for BP’s reputation, they act like they knew they will lose BP and just wanted to milk the fans in this ‘last tour’

[midnight zephyr]

It’s one of the biggest tour for female acts, we are talking about 300 mil revenue only a handful female artists can achieve that, once you put that in perspective the production is utterly disrespectful

[high echo]

you’re so right literally the girls could’ve been soo much bigger if they were under a different agency YG does not deserve them

[midnight zephyr]

fr, the way how YG handled their music release is so strange. Look at Hybe, let BP release English singles, feature other artists, work with producers outside of TBL. They are literally the biggest anti of BP's career

[high echo]

that’s what i’m talking about!!!!! literally there’s soo many artist that have mention collaboration with blackpink but never happen because YG thinks blackpink is too good for that

[midnight zephyr]

honestly I dont even know what they are thinking, maybe they are just incompetent maybe they just want to fully control BP's music career, regardless they have been sabotaged BP's career, esp. after TA era

[high echo]

yesss i just wish YG woulda promoted like all other groups with normal spaced comebacks,etc

[midnight zephyr]

It looks to me the company is utterly incompetent and hopeless. Just compare their productivity with other big kpop agencies, and they way they treated the fans sometimes is just abusive. The way a lot of thing have been done just showed the company has zero interest in caring its customers and reputation of its artists.

I want them to stay as a BP but on the other hand, it would be such a relief if I dont have to deal with YG in future.

[silk bough]

Do you have something to do with YG?

[midnight zephyr]

Thought I explained it already

[silk bough]

Sorry I didn't see

[fossil hawk]

love you this!!!!!

[jovial shoal]

I miss the concert😭

Take me back in the time

It was so amazing

[hardy vessel]

sameeee

I'm so nostalgic it makes me want to cry

I feel like I didn't enjoy the concert enough

[bronze wolf]

damn, i have the same feeling..

and i hate it lol

[hardy vessel]

I regret not having filmed enough

because suddenly I don't remember having really taken advantage of it, it's too boring

[bronze wolf]

i have filmed so much, just because otherwise i couldn't see anything lol, but I wish i was more living in the moment. These are the best memories.

[hardy vessel]

yess i see

but I think it hurts everyone not to have really enjoyed the concert

but it sure is the best memories

[bronze wolf]

yeah indeed

[dire heron]

You can find fan cam in yt

[hardy vessel]

yeeees that's true, I hadn't thought of that

[hardy vessel]

I think a lot of people feel that way. I don't think I will ever be satisfied after a Blackpink concert and say I had enough. Straight away you wish you could go do it again.

[dire heron]

I very happy i record with left hand and enjoy with right 😂

[jovial shoal]

I did that too. Unfortunately, I only hear myself screaming in the videos😂

[ripe lava]

I filmed too much and should've enjoyed the show more

I put all my fan cams on my yt

It was the best night ever though

[grand rock]

I barely recorded anything, I loved the vibe!. Praying for a future tour, meanwhile... Here's a little bit of Chichu

[jovial shoal]

😍😍😍 nice view

[fossil hawk]

I miss them so much I literally had dream where I met them it was so nice I wanna be back at the concert so much

[jovial shoal]

I miss it also so much😭

I’m crying it was the best show ever

[ripe lava]

I have been following and watching clips from them in Hanoi

Viet Blinks are getting an amazing fan service

As a Vietnamese born in Netherlands I'm so happy for them
