London (O2 Academy Brixton, Nov. 22, 2022)

[gentle oar]

nah im sorry

aint no way

[haughty bolt]

yeah i made a playlist for 'not getting BP tickets but waiting for your fav group instead'

[gentle oar]

LMAO

[haughty bolt]

500 was mad, i really would want to see them but i had faith in dc 🙏

sold out in 10 mins even though the venue is massive i think 02 arena was 20000

[gentle oar]

sheeeeesh

[mellow lily]

i got blackpink and i hoped we'd get dreamcatcher eventually, didn't expect it literally before the bp concert tho

[gentle oar]

whens the bp concert?

[haughty bolt]

30 nov and 1st dec

[gentle oar]

it is right around the corner from the dc concert then

[haughty bolt]

yea

oh my imagine going both

kpop concert crawl

[gentle oar]

i really do gotta go 😭 ive been procrastinating for an hour now

[haughty bolt]

lmao

gl

[snow crane]

500

jesus

i guess i'm too poor

[gentle oar]

its computer science, i need this 😭

[gentle oar]

nah people who can afford that are just too rich

[haughty bolt]

.<

[valid nebula]

my total cost with coach and accomodation is less than 200 hopefully

and then BP got a ticket for 500 just for the ticket

[haughty bolt]

💀

[snow crane]

they reelin' all dat money in

[haughty bolt]

fr

[mellow lily]

tbh they had seated for much cheaper than that but the resale prices are insane now

[haughty bolt]

yeah they did, seating isn't really for me and my friends didn't really feel like it either

we made a coping mechanism where we just kept singing 'this that pink venom'

[mellow lily]

ahahahah god that's such an earworm tho

since the song dropped i just break into it at random moments

forever grateful my friends are used to me

[haughty bolt]

Lmao I love their comeback tbh

Shut down so goooood

Somnia going to pack Wetherspoons tomorrow with successful ticket purchases

[valid nebula]

good ol spoons

[haughty bolt]

I’ll account for myself at least!

[noble fractal]

theres a spoons round the corner from the venue

thats gonna be fun

[valid nebula]

wouldn't be getting drunk but might go there for food

[haughty bolt]

[valid nebula]

coach station has a greggs so when I arrive should be able to get some food there

[noble fractal]

i was gonna hit up chinatown before the concert until you guys said how early you need to arrive to get close to the stage

[haughty bolt]

Lmao

[gentle oar]

if im gonna arrive at 5pm, and if i get the o2 priority tickets, any clue how close id be? for the people who were standing at the loona concert

i cant arrive any earlier than that

[haughty bolt]

I found this on Reddit

[noble fractal]

do priority ticket holders get earlier access?

[gentle oar]

yup

well

the process of getting in is quicker

[noble fractal]

ah

[gentle oar]

oh sheesh

[noble fractal]

bloody hell gonna be a long wait for a good view

hope it isnt raining

[haughty bolt]

So I think there is VIP queue and standard queue, after vip there was 2 separate queues for standard and standard with o2 priority, they let o2 priority in first

[valid nebula]

I'm going with someone from here and they said they will be at the venue at 1pm

so should be ok

[haughty bolt]

That’s how it was at a different venue I went to recently, but idk how vip and o2 priority works with eachother

[snow crane]

welp guess i'm booking hotel to be on safe side

[haughty bolt]

Also idk if there will be vip tickets either

[somber adder]

I need a custom Minx beanie

Would go hard

[haughty bolt]

Oh my

Minx beanie! I want one

[somber adder]

Bc it’ll be cold lol

[valid nebula]

accomodation was a given for me bc doing it all in 1 day would be tiring

will go home next day

[haughty bolt]

Yeah it’s going to be cold af and lining up earlier as well

Brrrd

[valid nebula]

yeah dress up warm

[left vault]

can confirm, was a mess

[haughty bolt]

Last venue I went had some bag policy too where it had to be smaller than a4

[noble fractal]

what time do these shows usually end? i gotta be up at 6am for work the next day

[valid nebula]

DC primavera shirt should keep me pretty warm

[left vault]

same at brixton

[valid nebula]

ends about 8pm maybe

possibly 9pm

[noble fractal]

oh thats not bad

[somber adder]

Will a sling work

[haughty bolt]

So if you dress up warm and it gets hot in the venue idk what to do lol

[valid nebula]

layer yourself up

[somber adder]

It’ll get hot

[valid nebula]

like an onion

[haughty bolt]

🤩

[valid nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/get-in-my-belly-ogres-are-like-onions-shrek-gif-15715123

[haughty bolt]

No big jackets just stuff you can fit in a bag or tie around waist etc

I guess that’s the plan

[valid nebula]

depends how cold it is I suppose

[snow crane]

die freezing or die too hot

[haughty bolt]

🥺

[snow crane]

o-okay :(

[left vault]

venue will be boiling

[haughty bolt]

Oh my days if it starts raining and we there at 10am

😱

[snow crane]

"few days of snow in November"

UK gets snow? must be new

[somber adder]

The fun will begin then

[valid nebula]

make sure you have your umbrellas and waterproofs

[noble fractal]

ive not seen snow in years itll be fine

[valid nebula]

[haughty bolt]

Raincoat check

[somber adder]

Survival of the first

[left vault]

I'm bringing a tent

[haughty bolt]

Yeah snow isn’t as common these years

Guys let’s all make the perfect plan to survive this 🤓

[valid nebula]

yeah its not

probably won't be any snow tbh

[noble fractal]

im planning on just a hoodie, if its raining idk what ill do

[left vault]

for legal reasons this is a joke

[valid nebula]

or will there?

[snow crane]

i highly doubt there will be too

[valid nebula]

vsauce michael here

[noble fractal]

theres no way it will snow

[snow crane]

in UK it only rains

and rains

[noble fractal]

im quite close to london and its been like nearly 5 years since i remember snow

[gentle oar]

i live in london and i cant remember snow

[haughty bolt]

You got a raincoat? They quite light so easy to pack in bag and fold

[valid nebula]

with the occassional 40 degrees heat wave for fun

[cedar coral]

ive lived in london 20 years and never seen it snow in nov itll be fine lmao

[gentle oar]

the last time i can remember it is like

😭

[haughty bolt]

Yeah November snow very early

[snow crane]

i used to live up north, and it snowed like once... in like one of the first days of April

[haughty bolt]

Usually January??

[valid nebula]

yeah january

[cedar coral]

[valid nebula]

[cedar coral]

ive never acc been a kpop gig b4 is there any diff ettiquete i need to know other than everyone getting there at mental times in the morning

[somber adder]

Haha

Don’t smell bad

[snow crane]

camp in wetherspoons

[somber adder]

Might be better since it’s winter

[haughty bolt]

Yeah this will be my 2nd concert and 1st kpop 😱

[haughty bolt]

Solid idea honestly

[noble fractal]

itll be my first ever

[gentle oar]

try not wave ur lightsticks like a madman, people get mad if they cant see anything

[somber adder]

Great first

Also don’t be tall

[noble fractal]

last time i wanted to go to a concert i got vip tickets and it got cancelled when i arrived

[somber adder]

That’s etiquete

[haughty bolt]

;-;

[cedar coral]

gonna chop my legs off now cheers

[gentle oar]

feel free to shout 'saranghae!!!' when everybody else is quiet, people will be shocked but wont really care

[noble fractal]

im 6'2 sorry to those behind

[somber adder]

I’m 178 cm lmao

[snow crane]

yes, come here let DC take your first concert

[haughty bolt]

I’m so sorry if you guys get stuck behind me

[somber adder]

Love all the short queens on twt always complain about tall ppl at kpop concerts

You’ll never see them not complain about it

[noble fractal]

im skinny so those behind can just look around me

[gentle oar]

tempted to just bring portable stilts

[cedar coral]

exactly we just focused our body mass vertically not our fault

[haughty bolt]

Last concert I went some short person in front held their phone up recording and some tall guy got mad ;-;

[somber adder]

Lame

I try to help ppl take videos

[haughty bolt]

Like just shuffle over a bit man

[somber adder]

Since I’m kinda tall

[haughty bolt]

🙌

My phone is relatively old so camera quality sucks anyway

[opal minnow]

I'm one of those tall guys

[snow crane]

just bring your nintendo ds

[haughty bolt]

👀

[cedar coral]

i just hate taking concert vids cos i hate the sound of my voice

i watch them back hear myself singing and cringe

[somber adder]

Same

But I always have to relive it

Especially if they take your phone

Bc they do

[cedar coral]

ye ive seen but im not sure im committed enough to get there early enough to be that close to front

[opal minnow]

last concert I only took photos that way no need to worry about hearing myself

[gentle oar]

i record in case i catch them waving or smthn

like imagine if i hadnt been recording when chungha gave me the heart in my pfp lmao

[somber adder]

Front facing technique if y’all barricade

[haughty bolt]

You’d just know they hearted at ya I guess

[snow crane]

aight i think it's time to learn how to wear heels then

[gentle oar]

my dad's always been like 'pics or it didnt happen' since i was a kid so ig its engraved in my brain lmaooo

[gentle oar]

your ankles will die.

[somber adder]

Buy platform boots, it makes a difference

[haughty bolt]

Don’t wear heels lmao

[snow crane]

lmao i know, just with how everyone is saying they're tall and then there's just me like.. smol

[somber adder]

Ppl will be tall

Be forewarned

[haughty bolt]

Fair enough 👍

[snow crane]

espec. if we are standing for few hours you can bet im wearing my comfiest shoes ever

[gentle oar]

is there any point in me getting standing or should i get it for the funsies

[noble fractal]

silly question buts its fine i arrive early and then my mate joins me in the queue a few hours later right?

[gentle oar]

yeah

i was near the doors and this group of teenagers walked passed us and looked rlly stressed about the queue, so we just let them slot in where we were

nobody was bothered

[somber adder]

Yeah most peeps don’t care. Some will though if you save in line for like 5 people

[haughty bolt]

Might get a couple looks but I don’t see why it’s not too bad

[noble fractal]

my mate has a uni submission on the day and has to come from coventry

[somber adder]

But even then, there’s nothing they can do unless they shout and get mad

[noble fractal]

aight fair

im not scared of angry kpoppers

[cedar coral]

depends on how much u dont wanna be in seat ig but the balcony at this venue has p good view

[gentle oar]

there were these people who blatantly skipped some of the queue and one of the workers saw them and shouted at them 😭

[haughty bolt]

Maybe opting for a good balcony view can be good for recording too

[gentle oar]

as long as someone has let you go to where ur going inthe queue then yes its fine

[haughty bolt]

Recording*

I wrote food as well I can’t even lol

[cedar coral]

ive got vidoes from balcony if anyone wants to see view but beware it contains my shit singing

[gentle oar]

i was at the balcony

so i know hte view

just wondering if itll be better or worse if i get standing

[haughty bolt]

Well if you can only come later then most probably the best you’ll get is like the 10th line??

[cedar coral]

i mean realistically standing view is always kinda shit but i feel the general experience is just better idk

[haughty bolt]

Especially with all the priority business

[cedar coral]

but if clear view is whats important then idk

[gentle oar]

so like here?

i see

well my friend has been there a ton of times

saw mitski there i think

so ill ask her

[haughty bolt]

Perhaps you can ask someone here to save you spot in queue? If you are comfortable with that

[gentle oar]

im a young teenager so id rather not 😭

[haughty bolt]

Might not be reliable

Yeah that would make it even harder

[somber adder]

If you make friends w line buddies, easier to leave and come back

[gentle oar]

yeah

[noble fractal]

whats the demographic usually like for dc?

[somber adder]

Lesbians and tall dudes

[gentle oar]

LMAO

but yeah its true

[somber adder]

It’s facts. I was surrounded by hella chicks w their girlfriends

And then a lot of the front row was hella tall

[opal minnow]

I love that, it so true it hurts

[noble fractal]

ah well i certainly fit in then

[gentle oar]

as i was leaving the mik festival, me and my friends overheard someone say 'i swear there are so many lesbians here', and all of my group turned around and shouted 'AYO WE'RE LESBIANS TOO!!!'

made me laugh lmao

[mellow lily]

lmaoooo

at ateez my friend said something like "i detect at least 7 genders here and i wanna be all of them"

[gentle oar]

lmaooooo

[cedar coral]

cant believe i missed mik festival man it had to be the one day for like a month i had actual plans

[gentle oar]

NOOO 😭

[noble fractal]

i wasnt even in the country when mik was happening

[gentle oar]

i was in cornwall so had to organise some trains

managed to get there though

[cedar coral]

as a gfriend fan for like 3 years having 1/2 the group 10 mins from my house and not being able to go... pain

[somber adder]

RIP GFRIEND OMG

😭😭😭

[haughty bolt]

That is quite savage

[gentle oar]

oh my god 😭

[haughty bolt]

Hope you recovered from that

[cedar coral]

i mean

i think ill live

hopefully

and then my dad was like 'oh just go the second day' like you couldnt pay me to go and see jay park live

[gentle oar]

LMAO

i wouldve gone for jessi

but im seeing her next monday

[cedar coral]

oh nice enjoy : )

[opal minnow]

seeing the three VIVIZ girls was a dream come true never got to see Gfriend and Umji is my bias
so I was over the moon, got rather teary eyed when they performed Time for the Moon Night

[somber adder]

YOU SAW TFTMN

Live

[gentle oar]

i went too!

[cedar coral]

i feel you when they did tftmn/rough on qd2

tears were shed

[gentle oar]

i actually havent really been very updated w gfriend/viviz but it was a really nice introduction to them

[opal minnow]

yes, when they got into formation for TFTMN I literally started shaking from excitement

[somber adder]

What concert was this for

[opal minnow]

It's my absolute favourite Gfriend title track so seeing it live was something I will remember

[somber adder]

I fucking love tftmn

[gentle oar]

mik

made in korea

it was this 9hr festival

[somber adder]

Ohhhh yeah I forgot about that

[gentle oar]

had chungha, golden child, viviz, holland, cherry bullet, pentagon and rv

oh and suho

im gonna go now, good luck w the tickets yall :)

[cedar coral]

thx u 2 : D

[gentle oar]

brixton usually doesnt sell out too quickly btw iirc

[cedar coral]

its like 5k so should be good

i got tickets there like days after sale for more popular artists but they prob lack the dedication of kpop fans tbh

[haughty bolt]

can never tell what the kpop fans gonna do

[left vault]

https://youtu.be/Qko6j1TD5Q0?t=53

[haughty bolt]

just have to make a foolproof plan

[left vault]

here's a good idea of the queue

[cedar coral]

???? 😭

[left vault]

yeah that didn't go well

[cedar coral]

you do in fact love to see it

[haughty bolt]

[left vault]

defo not the right crowd for that

[somber adder]

I’m deaddddd

[haughty bolt]

at least the lizzy line is goated 🙏

[snow crane]

seeing that time she had to queue

manifesting patience and will to survive that

[left vault]

they arrived pretty late tbf

[snow crane]

oof even with priority

[cedar coral]

dw this queue will mentally break me

[somber adder]

Honesty bring a camping chair

Cheap one so you can just throw it away before the concert

[left vault]

I'm looking at getting one

[haughty bolt]

yeah but you'll have to deal with all the envious stares

[somber adder]

Dw that won’t matter

Trust me

[haughty bolt]

[cedar coral]

nap in queue > a few funny looks imho

[haughty bolt]

purely psychological impacts

[snow crane]

😭 i just can't make up my mind whether to just make it a one day trip or get comfortable with hotel for one night, at least with hotel i can get more comfortable with waiting in line

[opal minnow]

probably getting one myself my legs by the end of the day after seeing LOONA
were aching from top to bottom

[left vault]

I'll be asleep in the queue

[valid nebula]

[left vault]

in my sleeping bag

[haughty bolt]

it's ok as soon as the concert starts the pain goes away temporarily

[somber adder]

If I was from the country, I’d bring my set up but looks like I might have to go minimal

Was gonna visit UK that week already to see my friend then they announced the tour

[cedar coral]

i mean if you can afford the hotel just do it you will enjoy it sm more without the stress

[left vault]

hotel it

there's no guarantee it will run to schedule

[snow crane]

i think most hotels near london only allows check-in from 3pm too, which if that's the ideal time to start waiting in line then.... @_@

[left vault]

some will allow earlier too

[cedar coral]

if you ask them theyll probably allow early check in tbh

at worst you pay a bit extra

[snow crane]

that's a good point, i hope the venue can provide more details later on

[snow crane]

lmao i guess it depends on the $

[left vault]

with loona we were 15 - 20 minutes behind, but then got even worse with the hi touch

[somber adder]

For dreamcatcher it might be a hi wave again

You just walk by them while they’re behind screens with masks on

[valid nebula]

I won't do that
not worth it

[somber adder]

Literally deukae zoo

[left vault]

it probably won't be that for EU imo

[somber adder]

If you go very last, you can slow walk super slow

And get every second

[haughty bolt]

lmao!

[left vault]

Loona we was the last, was great

[noble fractal]

is it an extra paid thing?

[somber adder]

Yes

[left vault]

got to say a proper good bye to them

[somber adder]

You were the last too say goodbye to Loona on their world tour

If you think about it

[left vault]

we were

and I'll treasure that

[haughty bolt]

i guess i'll pull the 'ladies first' card

gotta get to da back

[somber adder]

All genders first card

[haughty bolt]

true

[somber adder]

All identities first card

[haughty bolt]

the males

[left vault]

we were in the main queue, then we slipped to the back when it snaked past us

[haughty bolt]

xd

[left vault]

so got to the back of hi touch

[haughty bolt]

maybe i say "i left my property at the bar"

silly goose

[somber adder]

Just say “I have to go last or else I’ll die”

Ez

[left vault]

"i need my space"

[somber adder]

Or convince people going first is the move

[left vault]

after being surrounded by a few thousand people

[cedar coral]

We do a bit of gaslighting

[haughty bolt]

"when i faint i'd rather only a few people there so lemme go last"

[somber adder]

I’ll like magically get a cramp at the end of the line

While I walk by them

And like limp super slow

While waving hi to them

To get money’s worth

[haughty bolt]

say you was cheering so hard and the pain has come back suddenly

[left vault]

sudden need for the bathroom

[haughty bolt]

i think we covered a lot here, but now there's too many of us who know the secret

[modern cedar]

brixton ain't what it used to be

grew up around brixton

compared to back in the days, brixton's a kiddie park

[steady perch]

there's plenty of message scroll to go before the actual concert so your secret is safe

[haughty bolt]

The beehive is pretty low on the spoons rankings 😬

[steady perch]

Z please tell me you didn't shake kids down back in the day

my illusions will be shattered

[left vault]

it's a spoons

[snow crane]

pin it

[haughty bolt]

someone made a website with a spoons tier list xd

[modern cedar]

All i'm saying is big man ting yeh, don't get me vexxed cuz

[haughty bolt]

just entertaining to look at

[steady perch]

oh oops

[modern cedar]

cuz man will back out the skeng like you don't want dis still

[steady perch]

you said not pin

[left vault]

how rude

[modern cedar]

BRIXTON BULLIES SLIDE WITH THE BOTTI

[haughty bolt]

[steady perch]

[haughty bolt]

[snow crane]

not so seekrit anymore

[verbal hinge]

What's the best time to queue cause I'm not camping in brixton 💀

[haughty bolt]

as soon as possible 👍

[snow crane]

you sound ready to camp right there

[verbal hinge]

Like 4 ish?

[haughty bolt]

might be kind of late at 4pm

[verbal hinge]

12pm?

[haughty bolt]

do love a good old spoons camp

[fathom jay]

4 am ish is good

Might get barricade

[haughty bolt]

[verbal hinge]

Lmaoo

[modern cedar]

dat one there was a violation, personally i wouldn't have it

4am???

[verbal hinge]

Ez just get a job as a security and you'll be closer than anyone there

[modern cedar]

ok i'll be there in 20 minutes

[haughty bolt]

👀

what if they assign you at the back though

tough luck i guess

[verbal hinge]

LMAO

Task failed

[haughty bolt]

other jobs? maybe try and get in as a photographer or something

or cameraman

[modern cedar]

photographers ez clap

[snow crane]

for the record i've not been to any since 4 years, should i be expecting anything

[haughty bolt]

not sure only been going for 1 year myself now 👍

[snow crane]

for a pint

[haughty bolt]

if you refer to prices then they've only gone up

but greene king is a thing

[snow crane]

don't tell me they have also followed adding service charge for a pint of beer now

[haughty bolt]

i don't believe so

[modern cedar]

spoons is pretty much the same

prices have gone up a bit by like a £1 or £1.50

but its pretty much the same

theres a spoons in brixton not too far from the venue

[snow crane]

yeah spotted while searching for hotel

[modern cedar]

for the boujee lot, theres also a Leon opened up and Itsu

[snow crane]

if fellow somnias are drinking that is

[modern cedar]

the beehive, thats what its called

for the snackers and budgeters, theres a poundland and sainsburys by the station which is a 2 minute walk from the venue

so you can stock up for the queue

[left vault]

you can also leave the queue and come back

[snow crane]

do people generally bring a lot food or drinks to venue? i do understand you should stay hydrated through the venue

[left vault]

the security was pretty chill with that

and if you're in a group, you can take shifts

[haughty bolt]

^

[modern cedar]

i mean, can't be there for the whole whole day, gotta go piss init

[left vault]

I brought a can of monster with me

[modern cedar]

brixton village is also a good spot, pricey but great food there

[haughty bolt]

pop into the beehive and do your business whilst a mate watches your spot

[snow crane]

going alone actually kek

[modern cedar]

you shall assemble with us

[snow crane]

feels safer to just remain in line with necessities

[snow crane]

if someone makes an assembly happen ^

[modern cedar]

my handong will make that happen

it'll be the beacon

[haughty bolt]

yeah hopefully we can safely make some plans for people

[snow crane]

your... handong

[modern cedar]

let me explain

[haughty bolt]

👁️

[snow crane]

👀

[haughty bolt]

the council will decide your fate

[modern cedar]

https://gyazo.com/bb0b3d58b89007a2af391a96b5f4f98b

case and point

[snow crane]

lmao

the cutout

[left vault]

you are in the presence of a legend

[snow crane]

i swear if someone brought that to the venue

i'm so glad she's with us this time 😭

[modern cedar]

I am referred to as the Iconic Handong cutout guy

[left vault]

Z 100% will and has too

[opal minnow]

I was asking @modern cedar earlier about the old Dongie cutout

[haughty bolt]

[modern cedar]

o and when I managed to get into the fansign call with handongs return and this was me

[valid nebula]

lmaoo

[modern cedar]

but alas, its time for me to dust out the cutout

[haughty bolt]

it's a full body cutout oh my

[opal minnow]

can still see the whiskers that Sua drew on her

[haughty bolt]

very epic

[left vault]

don't forget the abs

[snow crane]

she's still holding this pain

[haughty bolt]

that is a family heirloom right there

[modern cedar]

she do be

but i'm hella gangster with it

[snow crane]

what if it rains, you outta be careful

[modern cedar]

fun fact

[left vault]

it's already been attacked by the rain

[modern cedar]

it did on the day

[haughty bolt]

glad it survived

[opal minnow]

still remember Sua with that penguin plushie (which she also drew abs on)

[modern cedar]

I did however have to amputate the toes

but yes, it will make a return

[snow crane]

looks like it won't be difficult to find you then 😂

[modern cedar]

[soft violet]

Hi! I’m Tania and I’m new here ☺️ I’m planning to go to London for the concert because they won’t come to my country, but I’ll be going alone and it’s a little scary 😅 is someone else in the same situation?

[modern cedar]

[haughty bolt]

glad i waited to read that emotional story

[modern cedar]

hell ye dud

[left vault]

I was there

[modern cedar]

oh yeh, I also gifted yooh a keychain from the popup

cuz why not

[snow crane]

that's so sweet omg

[modern cedar]

shame the dates are so close, would have liked for them to do another fansign type beat

[snow crane]

I don't live too far from London but I share your feelings about it too~ I'm sure you'll overcome the feeling when you get to it

[cedar coral]

the dates being so close is acc criminal

i deeped it they waited so long to announce it just say they can call it the A:FU tour

nice one DCC!

[mellow lily]

I'll be travelling to London from within the UK but if anyone needs any help (and can't get hold of a local londoner lmao), please feel free to ping me, I'll do my best to help!

[haughty bolt]

make sure any public transport you plan on taking is running properly 👍

[cedar coral]

ye hopefully no train strike 🙏

[modern cedar]

i mean i'm a london local (I live in 15 minutes by bus away from brixton) so if anything pops up, let me know

[opal minnow]

We're planning on being in walking distance

[modern cedar]

das pogmans

[haughty bolt]

epic

[snow crane]

lmao pls no more strikes

[haughty bolt]

🤞

[valid nebula]

place me and tocxx are at is really close to the venue

[soft violet]

I’m trying to find an accommodation near the concert venue so it’s less scary and more safe, but it’s hard lol

[snow crane]

do you have a certain budget or are your searches limited (hotels, airbnb, etc)?

[soft violet]

I was trying to go cheaper, but after searching the options I think I prefer to pay more and be closer

I’m seeing hotels for 200€ for 2 nights, it’s a lot for me but 😅

[mellow lily]

yeah london is pricyy

where are you looking?

[somber adder]

Is this the famous Handong cutout

[modern cedar]

quite

[somber adder]

Where you get

[modern cedar]

i ordered mine from https://www.personalisedcardboardcutouts.com/

was like £45 or something

[somber adder]

Amazching

wow that’s not bad

I’ve been trying to get a free IU cutout from random Korean restaurants

Currently 0/5 rn

[soft violet]

I’m looking hear the concert venue but those are like 350€ and I’m poor 😂

Near*

[left vault]

if you are okay with a hostel. there's a good one in Elephant and Castle

[somber adder]

Lol never doing hostel again

[valid nebula]

you could do a homestay maybe

thats what me and tocxx are doing

[soft violet]

I’m a little scared with hostels since I’m going alone ☹️

You will see me eating just bread on the concert because all my money will go to the hotel 🥲

[valid nebula]

whattttt dude noo

[hot rapids]

suppose we'll have to feed you haha

[haughty bolt]

^

[soft violet]

Lol imagine 😂

[valid nebula]

you can get homestays in London for £45

[haughty bolt]

somnia together strong

[hot rapids]

any idea how much the tickets gonna be ? Around ?

[soft violet]

I’ll search for it, thank you so much ♥️

[somber adder]

What is a home stay

[haughty bolt]

the only ticket info price i know is from the venue in the other country

[somber adder]

Like an Airbnb?

[valid nebula]

basically airbnb yeah

[haughty bolt]

someone posted info saying highest price was 100 euro

[hot rapids]

oh, I thought it'd be much more than that

thought I'll have to touch my saving account for it honestly

[haughty bolt]

well i think the venue in london is bigger and london just expensive anyways so idk

[hot rapids]

yeah, london is pricey... I'm just glad flights from Ireland are cheap right now... so as long as I snatch a ticket, that's my only real expense 🥲

[haughty bolt]

🤞

[hot rapids]

can't use virgin media that isn't UK account so general sale it is 😄

[haughty bolt]

that seriously sucks

i didn't wanna try and figure out how the VM 02 merge things worked so i just got a sim

[hot rapids]

are you in the UK ?

[haughty bolt]

my broadband is VM but i'm assuming my email isn't registered with it since my parents pay for it

yes

[mellow lily]

no no what website

wow i’m late lmao

[hot rapids]

oh that makes sense then

I wish ticketmaster made it easier for Irish people as we're basically brothers aren't we 😄 Not to mention they have their own bots to do resale like let us live

[snow crane]

LMAO this is perfect

[somber adder]

Idk why but the Burney Tomar House’s photo making me laugh 😂

[haughty bolt]

i have no idea how it compares but maybe wetherspoons hotels is worth looking at

(yes it's a thing )

[valid nebula]

[haughty bolt]

the closest one is 12miles from the venue though 😦

solid hour by train

[valid nebula]

damn
homestay would be better then

[snow crane]

[haughty bolt]

this what i found, but i'm a novice with booking and have no idea what other expenses etc would be involved

but yeah gl to those booking, hopefully more helpful info comes 😅

[fresh kelp]

that's pretty good

how far from the venue tho?

[soft violet]

Those are from booking/edreams and webs like that

[hot rapids]

for those that use euro, don't forget that 69 gbp for example is around 79 euro

[valid nebula]

this screenshot was on booking.com btw I searched for ones near the venue

[haughty bolt]

12 miles, hour by train

[snow crane]

lmao

[fresh kelp]

holy

[snow crane]

it doesn't seem like there's many close by unfortunately

[fresh kelp]

[haughty bolt]

[fresh kelp]

I'm glad we already booked murky lmao

[mellow lily]

oh also i highly recommend y'all to get citymapper, it seems to be better than google maps for me (to navigate the tube/buses etc)

[haughty bolt]

i was too curious by spoons having hotels i just had to look it up

[mellow lily]

spoons have hotels???

[snow crane]

apparently, but not the beehive one from what it seems

[haughty bolt]

yeah not all of them

[somber adder]

what is spoons

[valid nebula]

yeah lmao

[haughty bolt]

cheap pub chain

but the buildings are all fancy

[hot rapids]

I'd love to have a drink with somnia friend before the concert if I had any haha

set the mood 😆

[somber adder]

so you’re telling me deukae about to go to spoons

[valid nebula]

spoons is the mcdonalds of pubs

[somber adder]

and have one

i see

[haughty bolt]

great way of putting it

[somber adder]

[snow crane]

https://i.gyazo.com/72c90343bb80fda86c4b5f2a7f7be11d.png

[valid nebula]

thats not bad

[snow crane]

i was looking at that one

[haughty bolt]

oo only 1mile

[snow crane]

experience UK at its finest

[somber adder]

Wait so the bars over there have hotels

[haughty bolt]

considering that's way more central that's way better than the spoons offer

[valid nebula]

some of them do
not all

[snow crane]

https://t-cf.bstatic.com/xdata/images/hotel/max1280x900/351137984.jpg?k=ef41a02f95ce141df8005485fac3ef2018af104c78d9b8f3b5fcae9247b2ed9b&o=&hp=1

[haughty bolt]

tfl merch >>

[hot rapids]

oh, do they sell merch on concerts like this? I've literally never been to a kpop concert before...

[haughty bolt]

should do

[snow crane]

@soft violet maybe that location is suitable for you? didn't seem too expensive to be honest for one night

[hot rapids]

my partner wants to come with me and idk how to explain to him that we NEED to be there early and just stand there for hours so we can get in for all of that 😄

[snow crane]

tell him you do it for handong cutout

[hot rapids]

he knows I have a very weak spot for handong too 😭

[soft violet]

Oh that’s in my list!

[snow crane]

or you can say

you want to make sure you don't get to stand behind tall people

[cedar coral]

Not told my friend about this part until after we have tickets don’t wanna put him off :/

[hot rapids]

I am quite short so 🥲

[hot rapids]

luckily I know he would come with me no matter what because I can't really travel alone anyways but he's nowhere near as excited and emotional as I am 😄

I'm like DUDE WE NEED TO GET THERE AND SEE THEM AND YOU DONT GET IT and he's too chill 😄

[haughty bolt]

sneaky lol

[cedar coral]

We do a little deceiving

[haughty bolt]

i respect it

[hot rapids]

I'd be very happy to meet some somnias briefly too 🙂 then again, I dont have any friends in the community so it'd be nice to meet someone even just to say hi 🙂

[somber adder]

If you line up (queue) early, you’ll make friends

Best ice breaker is “Who is your bias?”

[haughty bolt]

ah yes

notorious question

[snow crane]

i'm sure this person will be stationed at wetherspoons and get all somnias there too ^

[haughty bolt]

lmao, i gotta queue early too but i'll probs be spending lots of time there after or maybe another day xd

[hot rapids]

my partner said we will go there very early and I'm like, no just a wee bit because I'm an old tired person but I might be there hours ahead anyways so yay that'd be nice ^^

[hot rapids]

I love wetherspoons haha

[somber adder]

oh is spoons the same as wetherspoons

[hot rapids]

yes

[somber adder]

Should I visit one and grab a beer lmao

[haughty bolt]
