I KNEW IT!!
yep called it
I was just about to buy the tickets
will pit still be a thing???
I’m not going to this stop but I wanted to see what y’all would say lol
I wonder why they changed it
not enough people purchased tickets
Bro it’s the same with New York and I’m going to that one, I wonder if they will change it too
It’s Hulu theather
But still the biggest of all the arenas
I saw itzy there and felt very small
It’s Hulu theather at Madison sq garden
Not as small as reading tho
ohhhhhh
Ig I’ll get my tickets later
Yeah I’m nervous if they change venue now
Sale is in 5 minutes
for the new reading venue?
Yes
do i have to do anything w my ticket?
Idk I think they said they converted it
okay
ig I woke up at a good time lol
Confused, if you bought pit will it still be pit at this venue?
….
Oh yikes well good thing I have the site open now
Yea
Due to demand for tickets, you may experience an extended wait time. We appreciate your patience.
a normal day in ticket master
so the question is do I still go top row or do I try to get closer for this one
can probably find some good earplugs between now and monday
Is anyone in, or is it still on the "Tickets are about to become available...sit tight." screen for you all?
I got that, then I got redirected to >Tickets are sold out now. Check back soon.
SHIT I feel bad
realized I wasnt logged in, then logged in, and now I'm on that screen again
ok just updated
looks like because I was top row before I'm locked to the high up seating
smart tbh
I still just see "Tickets are about to become available...sit tight." with the blue loading ring
Same
i’m so angry
we have to pay again?!?
yea they refund us and we pay again
existing tickets are being converted
Is anyone able to choose an orchestra seat, or is it grayed out for you too?
ok I'm grabbing N123
grayed out for me.
I warmingly invite any/all of you to sit near me 
total roll of the dice to see if the GA tix we bought end up as good seats or jammed in corners/etc
Yeah that’s what I’m not sure about
will i be put in balcony??
I had GA and have no idea what it’s gonna be converted into
was driving like 3 hours just for the ga/pit this is sad
wait we do have to buy again right?
same.
what if our other tickets are just being redirected 
i’m actually really angry lol
Honestly it’s unclear
I still haven't gotten an email
no, your existing ticket will be converted
me neither
📣NOTICE Regarding Tickets
*Tickets purchased will not be canceled and seats will be automatically moved within the same ticket/pricing tier. Those who wish to change their seats will be able to do so but only if those tickets in the same price range are available.
alright so we shouldnt be buying tickets right now
Based on the MMT Twitter, it says existing tickets will be converted
ok
I'm glad I stopped myself
Im so confused on where to pick to get a nice a view
sorry if I misinformed anyone
all those poor people who paid for aisles/front rows of sections getting rolled into wherever
so we get put wherever they put us
It’s unclear what’s gonna happen to people who had GA tickets (like me) though lol
same pricing tier doesn’t even make sense, some floor seats were more expensive than GA
yea i’m very nervous lol
I wish they had converted the tickets before reopening sales
i didn’t pay to see siyeon in 4k to get moved back farther
And in my case a friend transferred me the ticket so I don’t know if that’s gonna affect it
The whole point of this venue is that they are ok with not selling out... but.. I guess the ticket sales were truly awful
well now i guess if i have a specific seat i don’t need to get there super early :/
theres a difference between not selling out and not selling half
we sold like 1900 seats out of 4.3k
I think this move is completely fair
don't buy if you already have a ticket
have your tickets been converted yet??
they're going to reassign the existing ones
I don’t have tickets yet
AH ok
If you already bought tickets def don't rebuy now all the ones available are far back balcony seats
yeah, if you dont have a ticket--waiit--im sure a lot of GA people will be selling and such
here's what it looks like #1064967186642374656 message
So no matter what you should be re-placed in a nicer area
it's a small theater, I think most seats will be decent unless you have tall people in front of you
Wow
Imma just get those I have above is like the closest when getting 4 tickets
i’m pretty tall but still
seems good 
So if i bought a ticket i dont have to rebuy a new one?
correct
That's what is being communicated
we all need to just wait for ticketmaster to email us
i keep refreshing my email
@_mymusictaste i called santander's box office, and they said ticketmaster is handling the GA seat assignments and told them it would be done "by Friday" so do with that what u will lmao
No email yet, or any message on ticketmaster app
monday
we'll all just be left wondering where our seats are
GLHF 
you would think GA buyers will get best seats, but who knows. some of the seats were more expensive, but futher away
short people specifically targeting row1s are gonna be pissed
did they sell out GA prior to the move?
I had one of the $200 tickets in the side section right next to stage before the first time the reconfigured the stage.
What a mess
no
So, good news for GA buyers, more seats to work with. Imagine they give everyone row by row access in order of purchase
What!!!
.what
Imma 
How are they gonna pick our seats for us based on our tickets?!?!?
Well I'm not afraid to admit I'm wrong here. I didn't find this likely , but after checking...the venues are booked by the same entity
Wild wild scenes. Guess we’ll have a lot of swapping around to do
praying to the dreamcatcher gods for a good seat

Seriously.
Makes a move very much more likely if the same company controls both venues
Idk why but I was thinking reading was before nyc
Wow!!!
now i don’t have to wait outside in the cold for 12 hours 🫠
You can try calling the venue to see if they will move one of your tickets if there is an open seat
Reading, PA (Santander Performing Arts Center, March 6th, 2023)
whew, it didn't kick you all out
I only choose the Reading venue because the acoustics were good
This the positive for me especc since I'm traveling over
new one will be better
It almost certainly will be better. No waiting for GA folks, and sloped floor is much better for everyone
I just dont understand how they’re going to decide where we’re going to sit based on the tickets we bought for Santandar
well I mean theres only one way to do it
And we won’t have to feel embarrassed about the turn out, nor will the members
me as well, won’t have to have my car parked for a long time
floor people are randomized in the close seets
I've been to 1000+ concerts, never experienced a GA/PIT - > Seated downgrade before. 2023 is off to a wild start.
the rest are liek "well youre 3 rows from the front so here go 3 rows from the front of this"
this. i haven’t been to santander performing arts center but in my experience as an ex choir student, performing arts centers such as this one have AMAZING acoustics.
People angry understandable, but i rather the girls not have to see a 70% empty venue
1000
that means if you go to 2 a week it would take you 10 years
true!
thats extra impressive
i would make the denny hamlin joke now but I'm assuming nobody would get it 
living/working in nyc, ive been to 3 concerts at different venues in one day before

1000 dammn tbf I never kept track of mine, except kpop ones
it's not the empty venue but the underselll
they are lucky the same company controls both venues
punk/hardcore/metal tends to be free/cheaper/basements/etc, not $200 kpop lol
makes it much much easier
i can attest to this😭
saw alter bridge a few weeks ago and tickets were so cheap
yeah, i have to imagine this was in the cards the whole time... would be a huge risk to play somewhere where not selling out a big arena means a full cancel
I'm sure it was like this the last tour too, yes
this has an outsized size for what DC normally fills
I’m just surprised they still made a move so late. I thought that ship had sailed.
me too
This makes me re-evaluate the Reading stop of future kpop tours
i think i overreacted a bit lol, i’m kind of excited for the new venue
Lol
Obviously nervous about where my seats end up, but this is going to be a great show 🔮
I guess that depends on what other cities close to Reading a group plays
now i won’t have the raging anxiety of if i’m getting barricade or not
AND I CAN USE THE BATHROOM WITHOUT LOSING MY SPOT

I think 30% of GA folks are gonna be insanely happy while 70% or so will be disappointed where they get slotted
im very excited, any negative emotions I feel right now are sympathy for pit people who want to be pit people
a few people are going to be truly blessed
I love that it's going to be a smaller place
gonna light a candle and manifest that i am one of those people
May all of us in this cord end up with aisles/front-ish rows
i’ll light a candle for all of you if you’d like!!!

yes

You been there before?
Hopefully it’s small enough where all the seats are pretty good
We all have a much better chance of a better, less obstructed view
I have not, but it's a Performing Arts Center vs a sports arena.. unless they botched it, it's going to inherently sound way better
Should sound amazing
exactly!!
So Now we wait to see what our seats are?
i remember i performed in carnegie hall with my choir which is just decently bigger than this venue and holy moly the ACOUSTICSSS
This looks like it’ll all be good
At the Reading date last time I did half the show jammed like a sardine up close a few rows back with a bunch of smelly people who literally spent the whole time recording and not dancing or singing.. then halfway through walked to the back of the pit and danced and rocked out and had like 1000x better time
That was the perk of Reading GA, imo, having space to move and enjoy it
This venue might be better since we’re not wrapped around
I was gonna have a side view at Santandar
This will be just as good as Roxy, for all those reasons, except better because of the sloped floor
yup yup
Yeah, this is a huge upgrade for most of the audience. A lot of GA people who were gonna camp or just preferred the floor type of show will be disappointed, but this otherwise a major step up
I think the pit was smaller for this show than last time, too, right? And they didnt even sell out this new smaller pit?
Is the venue within waking distance to Doubletree?
its within walking distance to the other satandar arena so yes
Last year DC had a half floor pit, LOONA did a 1/3 floor pit.. then new DC show year did the 1/3 pit, I think?
May only be like 100-200 people competing for the best seats at the new venue. Hopefully.
selfishly hoping they do it in order of who purchased LOL
If it's ~200 GA moving, we should all be in the first 10 rows
Depending on how they handle people who bought floor seats
Okay thank you! I only reserved a place at doubletree because it was literally across the street from the arena.
now i don’t have to wake up at 4am LOL
ok, everything is updated. Please send folks to pins or the announcements, etc. if they need to see links
Wow a lot of grey. BIG difference
Really curious to see what I end up with. I did a lot of seat hopping in singles and pairs.
here's an overhead
Have emails gone out to some folks so far?
not me yet
i know someone said it already but i cant find the message, when should i expect to see my seat change?
I parked at Poplar garage last time. Pretty much equidistant
soontm
I think by Friday
lots of free parking in town.. and no one got mugged on the streets afaik, unlike the garages
people got mugged in garages??😀
Here
welp guess i will not be parking in a garage lol
There was an attempted car jarcking in the garage i was at
oh god
I didn't get mugged in my garage
but yea I unfortunately... cannot speak for everyone 
All went down right behind my car 😓 no one was hurt
where do y’all suggest i park? i’ve never been to reading before
I parked in the garage for Loona and DC and felt very safe
street.. saw plenty of nicer cars parked around the streets seems safe enough despite being a less than overall nice city
the one at 25 n3rd street worked great for me last time
though there were like... zero people around
so it was a lil' sketch'
sounds good. let’s hope i still know how to parallel park LMAO
if anyone else wants to park there I'm happy to be part of a group walk so that nobody's isolated
probably much easier to steer park now too since meters will be off by the time you need to get there cuz no camping
i’d be down! when do you plan on arriving?
Safe enough for two girls to walk back at night?
bring pepper spray🙏🏼
or wait
I'll be leaving from new york, probably going to arrive @ ~ 4pm eastern time
can’t bring that into the venue nvm LOL
oh sick me too!!
which leaves me 3 hours to eat dinner and then be bored 
i’m leaving at 3 arriving around 4
Can’t take pepper spray into the venue, can we?
we could meet if you want!! grab something to eat or smth
that would be great! 
yea i don’t think you can lol i forgot
I might have to do that!
not having to be in line at the ass crack of dawn is a blessing in disguise for this change, tbh, for those who had pit before
anyone else down to join @grave bramble and i for dinner?
I would assume there’s going to be a bunch of people heading back to the hotel at the same time
THISSSSS
I am hoping so!
I’m not sure of my arrival time, depending on traffic. But I’ll be up for food when I get there with anyone else who is interested
awesome!
At least the girls got to play the arena last time
they were so hyped on it being so big
So we wait to see what our seat conversions are?
Ok, I have to get to bed to be up for the Twice Billboard thing later. Good luck everyone with your new tickets 🍀
thank u!
yes, we wait 
we should have an email from ticketmaster today or tomorrow
or later if ticketmaster decides to be ticketmaster 
Okay! Thank you
@grave bramble sent you a dm abt meeting up 🥰
I hope the girls don’t feel disappointed about the venue change 😢
I wouldn't worry about it.. this was a stretch venue in general
ok mits+my current food plan is russos pizza if anyone wants to join us 
Now I hope all works out well. I am short so I was really depending on those stadium seats
I saw photos of the performing arts venue. It’s at an angle but if people are standing, I might still suffer with a tall person infront of me
i don't know if you can, BUT i have a pepper spray on my keychain and they didn't say anything. prob because they didn't notice lol.
after the car jacking last year after the show, there better be no ish about it
FRICK
Sobbing what
They are transferring our tickets over
I just noticed that after reading fully
So I’m guessing all the grey out seats are for the ones purchased already?
I feel for those with ga tickets, but I'm gonna be annoyed if I get put far back after spending almost $300 per ticket.
sorry bout that
I got scared and thought we had to rebuy
I hope I still get aisle but I'll take having closer seats if I can get them
I have a feeling my $117 ticket will be put in the back before your $300 ticket
People on twitter were saying the box office told them ga would get the first few rows
I read that too. I don’t know, its fair in the sense that they would have been the closest physically. But not in terms of price per ticket.
Thats why i think more expensive tickets like yours will be out closer than mine
Even though i had a great view in sec D on the right side of the stage when i bought it
wouldn't the base price for all ga be the same though?
so i don't think they could place it based on who paid more
I meant GA as opposed to seats
I was originally in one of the first few rows in 104 then was moved to second row floor.
Ah, i just got moved a section over. It was wacky how they were putting people in floor seats.
I was okay with floor because I was in the stands last concert, so I figured I'd give floor a try instead of trying to move seats.
this is going to be an anxiety ridden 2 days lol
My Ticketmaster still shows the old venue
Yeah. I’m trying to be calm and not just brood
I’m on the website
I don’t think our info will be updated today
Probably not
This is what the app shows rn
Its kinda cool that there’s a balcony
For sure
Woah
Might have to look into that
I am gonna try and tag along with a group to walk back to the hotel if there is a group. I am sure there will be
if you can't find anyone, my friend and i wouldn't mind meeting up with you and walking you there.
Thanks!
My twin and I would be up for joining any group walking to the venue or back.
Thank you!
I don't think so. Overall on the East Coast with more shows and more capacity they are doing better than the last tour 8.7k for 4 shows vs. 5k for 2 last tour
if they were underselling like Reading on all 4 shows that would be a concern but that isn't the case
you all probably saw how full the ATL arena was and that was near 2k
it'll be fine
👍
I think the Arena is just BIG
It was a nice place last year but this place looks nice
Next time, only East Coast stop at Reading to fill it up 😅
they definitely overperformed expectations at the Arena last July
The arena is huge. I was surprised that it sold so well last time.
even I was surprised
yeah
well the thing is, an undersized NYC venue meant fans lost out on getting tix too
so they all bought t hem for Reading as those were guaranteed
this time DC is performing at MSG Hulu Theatre with twice the capacity and 1/3rd more sales
I know for me, after going to the NYC show i bought a free seat at Reading, and i spoke to others who did the same
so it's easy to see why people wouldn't do Reading again unless they were in a situation where they would be ok doing that
Its not exactly that easy to get to for many people
reading is so backwoods lmao, i felt like i was in the country driving there
Though the person who lives in Reading is really lucky lol
my friend and i kept asking "when do we see life?"
Me ✨ well
Outside of it
yep but it seems the venue was very friendly to kpop acts to drum up cash
That’s just PA lol
I dont like going into reading
look at how many kpop acts went there over the summer
but philly is like a diff world
i've only been to reading and philly and the contrast is wild
We took the no toll route all the way from Michigan on the way there. It took us so far out in the middle of nowhere that we took the tolls back.
I'm sure people might be worried about the tour's sales performance based on this but I'm not. Everything points to at least equivalent ticket sales from last tour
Man I don’t even like Philly
yeah sometimes its cheaper to just do the tolls
Yeah. Its a really nice venue that happens to be in the middle of nowhere.
I mean, I was looking forward to going again. I still would, its a nice stadium.
esp with the cost of gas right now
yeeeeeeah
How bad is gas in PA
i dunno, but it's still in the 3's up here in ct
Same for NJ
i love my mazda, but sometimes i miss my corolla. mpg was so much better
it also better not snow, because im decorating my car for the tour
if you see a blue cx-5 with REASON and dreamcatcher all over it, das me
I'm glad we're taking my twins honda it would cost me a kidney for gas in my truck.
Man... The uncertainty about seating is not great. I had a decent seat on the center end of a floor section, now I have no idea where I'm ending up.
I wish they had figured out seating changes before implementing them like they did when they migrated 2 sections.
I get the venue change, even if I don't like it I understand. But the details matter. Like seats.
reading wasn't even full last year and it still felt like it was due to the energy
should have kept it as it was and just make sure to not go there next time
Yeah. Really great group for last summer's show
If only it wasn’t a Monday show maybe sale would of been better. But at the same time too many east coast option.
Yeah, I think there are a lot of factors, last summer it was really the only east coast option other than NYC.
and NYC had a 2k venue that just sold out
On another topic, hopefully better - any can't-miss restaurants around the Doubletree?
now they have a 5k venue they have 2/3rds sales for so...pretty easy to see where some of it went
Yeah, I think the bigger NYC venue is a big factor
i’ve never been to reading but me and @grave bramble are going to an italian restaurant/pizzeria place down the street!! it looks really good
Man I don’t know any places around Doubel tree, I’m not even sure how far away it is from this one place, walking wise probbaly not good but Say Cheese is great
It looks like it's only a couple blocks.
me using uber to and from the venue gotta love it bc i have a posse if only i could drive
Anyone just look at the ticketing map of the show and they completely changed it?
I bought 4 GA tickets and it’s not even there anymore
They changed venues, idk if you know this
They are going to try and give seats to the ones who got Ga
Ah jeez, I’m hoping my tickets are at least seated together,
My friend was planning on buying a re-sell ticket (same price) for GA but now I don’t see how they can sit next to us if it’s all transfer 😅
Yeah that's going to require a call to the box office and a hope for good luck
details and links are in #announcements and pinned here in case you need thh einfo but yeah
I guess I don’t have to line up at 2am now, but my dreams of barricade have also evaporated 
same
The walk through Reading should be fun too
I'm guessing there will be groups
i’d love to walk around w anyone! getting there at 4
might get there earlier and see if there’s any cute shops 
Yeah, I think there will be arranging of times to walk over. I’m assuming vip check in will be 3-5 like usual
I'm not terribly concerned for myself but I'm probably going to leave the cloak at home. No sense wearing that on the walk
On the bright side I don’t have to stand outside for 15 hours in a tank top now 
that’s what i’m saying!!
no more layers!
we can use the restroom as much as we please too 🙏🏼
Yeah. I actually specifically went with seated tickets both last summer and for this show because I'm old and the whole "line up all day then keep standing" thing is for the youngins
i’m 18 but my bladder would NOT have been able to support a 15 hour day 😭
I did seated there last year too, but since DC and NYC are all seated it was going to be my one attempt to get barricade 
That was exactly my reasoning for GA in pa
Since nyc was seated I could try to get close in ga
Envious tbh
I kept watching the night time lows and for awhile there it was like 18-20. It looks like now it will be more like 32 but it definitely would have been a bit of suffering
Now we just have to survive the walk back in the dark through Reading 
gonna use my car key as a weapon if i get attacked 
sometiems when i’m outside at night i’ll put it between my knuckles like i’m wolverine😭
I will smack them with Mongmongie
Have to use the pointy mood light head
Exactly
it’ll be interesting seeing the venue filled with lightsticks
considering the vibe of the center😭
I do that too
As soon as the lights go down it switches to nightmare mode 
did they assign seats for the pit people yet?
from the new seating chart, place will be packed. only about 10% left for purchase
that’s good!
yeah, would have been bad to see 1/3 filled arena

first few rows ain’t too bad?
i think it’s a bit unfair though, some people were gonna get there super early to get barricade and now they might be farther back :<
but hey
it is what it is
it's a small venue, all the pit people will be within the first 8-10 rows
And with the sloped floor it should be decent views for most people
true!
really the only disappointed ones will be the 30-50 or so who are willing to wait 18 hrs in line for barricade
It was going to be me, haha, but I’m ok with this too
any seat you had at the arena will be better here
me too haha
I was hoping the bag policy was different with a diff venue but they are handled by the same people so it is still obnoxious
I know this will be better most likely and am fine with the change as a whole, but the sudden shift spiked my anxiety levels
I hope so! I am short so hopefully when standing, I can still see.
Last year I switched seats with the girl next to me since there was a taller guy in front of her and I had a better chance at seeing than she did since I’m 6’. RIP whoever was behind me though
Hopefully most people will be considerate of that sort of thing.
wrong! there is so much sense! if even one insomnia sees you they will get excited
(source: personal experience)
Anytime I'm walking in a city, especially an unfamiliar one, my goal is to blend in as much as possible, not stand out/draw attention. Impossible to do that with the cloak.
Nahh NY is like 40%-60% bought out
Pennsylvania was like 10%-30% 
As advice, I would recommend someone here call the actual venue to get direct word on how things are changing.
should i call the box office?
the problem is the box office only appears open on MWF from 10am - 4pm at (610) 898-7229. There's a post on Reddit from tier 1 ticketmaster support that lists a different number (610) 898-7469, but try both
the GA folks are understandably concerned but if they converted for CIX and the only difference is 2 days then they have to know they have to get it sorted before the weekend since the show is on Monday
even calling the box office seems to yield varying explanations
my friend called and was told something different from what someone else was told online
what different explanations have you heard?
but her tickets in the app did change, no seats yet though
she was told seats would be randomly assigned even if you purchased multiple, which would suck since she bought both of ours and we'd still be seperated. then i read someone say they were told seats would be assigned but no specific seat reserved
really? mine didn’t yet :3
just the image changed. sec, ill post what it looks like now
hm gotcha
still says santander arena tho
my ticket isn’t even there anymore
wtf
yea what
Yeah, mine is vanished as well
…
Maybe while it is transitioning
very messy indeed…
most likely
kinda panicked me for a moment there lol

my friend had a dream/nightmare that our seats were reassigned to a show in europe lmao
WHAT LOL
i had a dream last night that mingi and i were in the military
like
special ops
LOL
it was interesting
minds are so weird
he kissed me though so i’m not complaining!!!
my dreams lately have been so romantic like huh
better than being told you need to fly to europe for a ticket you purchased in america
me no want romance😭
TRUE
mine have just been nightmares, i listen to a lot of true crime so it makes sense
understandable
hopefully the tickets get settled today so we’ll have tomorrow to contact the box office
I hope so too
i also saw a video of jiu’s vocals for reason and wow.
girl can SING.
very excited to hear it live
i love listening to her verses
I have only seen some clips. I stopped looking at clips. Can’t keep looking at all the vocal spoilers of the concert
I’ve been avoiding pretty much any video or looking too closely at the set list
https://www.reddit.com/r/dreamcatcher/comments/11g2hpy/comment/jamgvsb/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 - this comment is from someone who managed to get in touch with the venue
a normal day in ticketmaster
I have been tempted. I only seen clips of two songs but avoided everything else. Tempted to watch Reason but I want it to be my first time seeing them perform live. I will wait
I only saw the bit of the guy throwing something on stage
I saw a photo/screenshot of it. Hopefully people don’t throw things at the girls
My Reading ticket disappeared in the Ticketmaster app but still shows up as my old GA ticket for the Santander Arena when looking at the website in a browser. Guess it's probably because they're doing the ticket reassignments for the new venue
Like someone said above
I wish people would realize its not ok to throw things on stage 😓
Yeah. I'm just gonna sit tight and hope it all gets reorganized by this weekend. Luckily it was just me going to Reading. I was in Row A though -sigh- Oh well. We'll see where it lands.
I’d imagine they will try to honor the seated positions as much as possible, so you’d probably still be directly behind the pit rows. But with the slanted floor your view might be better than at the arena
this!
i wrote a letter for siyeon and i’m still trying to figure out how to get it to her, my dad suggested making it into a paper airplane and while that’s kind funny and silly i was like “NOOOOO”
Got my new seat assignment. Not... Thrilled with it.
esp bc at atl her reaction to someone throwing smth on stage wasnt very positive😭
Sec ORCH L, Row Y, Seat 5 .. eh I guess its not so bad in such a small venue
oh boy, let me check
mine has been updated yet
most likely because i’m GA
Row X 5, I'll be right in front of you. Old seat was Fl1 FF right in the middle relative to the stage on the end of a row
welp i see the change now.
:((
section orch c, row n, seat 107
i’m gonna cry lol.
Kind of specifically wanted the end of the row, and the relative center of it for a full view.
Yeah I got feedback on my doll Toss in Atlanta but truly had no idea. It was at end of show. Looking back now I was close enough to stage to call out and have security hand it to her. Probably be the last time I bring a gift but principles learnt for sure
I’m orch L, row C, Seat 5
I have to try and look
We specifically got end of the row because of my anxiety so uh
i’m really upset lol
The website is updated before the app it seems
i got one of the farther rows
Oh ok 👍 thx
See if you can give your card to a person in front row or to a security guard to give as they are walking out. That’d be my only suggestion
It’ll show up again, don’t worry
Great pfp!!
how did they even assign the seats???
bc i bought my GA ticket the DAY they went on sale and were only $99, so if they’re doing GA by pricing tier that’s just unfair lol i had no control over the price
This will be my first DC concert from the left side of the stage. New experiences I guess 
I hope! This give me anxiety bc i’m traveling for this concert and thanks 🙂
LMAO SO
me my mom and my eight year old sister are seperated??
Unless their seats are counted weird
I'm sure if you were in pit, floor, or first few sections near stage you got put in orchestra seats
i would suggest handing letters/ gifts forward. The front row can hand it to security and they can lay it on the stage. that's how it was done at shows i've been to with letters. They were gathered by staff later on.
okk
damn, got massively dicked on GA->seat conversion
Check the detailed seating map on the website and call the box office if you need to
it’s just disappointing, i was gonna get there early to be close and now i’m super far away
Everybody got dicked
Ok the seats are every other
ORCH L Row X 😅😓
OUCH.
The dickings start with GA and trickle down
Orch L row r
Still on end
Holds
Does it look like GA got new better seats or floor seated got better new seats?
Its not great
i’m assuming GA
GA should be closer to front than floor seats
%^
I had FL1 and ended up orch L row x
you would assume, wondering if any floor seated folks can report in on their new seats
i was like OH THATS GOOD, then i saw C isn't third row, CC is
that is fucked
Whattt
yea 🥲
I had first sec 104 row d then moved to floor 2 row b now box d.
that's incredible
I hope others in box d won't mind if I stand. I can't sit for a long time.
i hope everyone stands the whole time
If it's anything like the other shows I've been to everybody will be standing most of the time anyway
I’d rather stand tbh
Im sure everyone will
Probably sit for some of the talking breaks
box shouldn't have someone behind you
oh nvm
you have one row behind you
got BALCLC, Row L, Seat 127
i hope some insomnia in this cord got GA->front row upgrade
so everyone who had seats got their seat assignments but ga is still up in the air?
GA was assigned
GA is assigned now
interesting, there will probably be some high priced seats coming when/if they do
I'm not top row any more
the whole reason I got top row is so I can stand and jump without blocking anyone
GA to Orch L, Row C, 5
not so bad realistically
oh my friends tickets are there so i guess they're still assigning them
There’s AA, BB, and CC in front but still not terrible
You have 2 sets of tickets;
I'm sure the last row of balcony will probably stay empty
my seat
You need to see it on the desktop site potentially to see your new seats. You will also be able to see your old seatss too
they're on her account, so they would be somewhere else?
LUCKY OMG
I am not sure what you are asking.. but if she goes to that URL and clicks the event, she should see her old + new tickets
I wonder how many GA were sold for the arena
you said something about about checking the desktop, but i don't have the tickets she does
so i was trying to tell her where to look
Probably a good amount
i’m guessing i won’t be able to change my seat
Yeah, they def would have filled every seat starting from the front
I wonder how many Insomnia who dont use cord/reddit are just gonna show up to old venue
right lol
probably a bunch are also gonna show up and be like omg i got front row?!
well emails are probably gonna be sent out
but rip to people who don’t check their email
yeah even still, between spam + not checking emails
exactly
Hopefully someone’s at the arena srill to tell ppl “hey, it moved”
I think Twitter and then here were the only ways I knew
same
I found out here fiesy then a Facebook group
For those of you whose tickets completely disappeared, if you got transferred the ticket from someone else, the updated ticket might've gone to them. That's what happened to me (the updated tickets both went to my friend)
That complicates things 
that is extremely messed up
lucky it was a friend
Not that I envy Ticketmaster's situation with all this, but, damn, this is a mess
I’m waiting to see someone who got row AA
same lol
So now tonight will be my closest seat instead. I figured it would be Reading 
i’m only going to reading lol
imagine not even knowing about the venue change, showing up at the old venue with your ticket, only to find out you got AA at the new one lol

i wish
guess i’ll have to wear my glasses at the concert lmao
i wanted to be close bc my vision is terrible 
I envy people who can function without glasses or contacts
I’m basically blind without them
me too
Same
Keep you eyes on the seats for sale. Some people will probably want to sell later today/tomorrow
So will they email you new seats? My tickets are gone on ticket master
It’s hard not to feel dissapointed
I don’t think Santander allows resales through TM, so would have to be 3rd party
I guess everyones mostly in the same boat though
12 people are about to get an amazing surprise
Check the website. The app seems to be behind
well 16 if you count the bb rows on right and left
the seats are still a bit of a distance from the stage, i wonder if they'll let that row get up or if there will be a barricade
Thank you
No phones handed up on stage I guess
ahh true. No resales.
I would still definitely contact the box office directly tomorrow if there is a concern with re-assigned seats or separations or the like
I saw my seats! Let’s pray no tall people infront of me
where are they?
Reading, PA Santander Arena/Performing Arts Center Contacts
Box office number: (610) 898-7229 - Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10AM - 4PM
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Santander_Arena
that would really suck if you bought two tickets, one friend got a nice seat and you got the way back.
orc c, row t, 107&108
send people to the pins if folks need to talk to the office. Some people are saying they are getting in touch with t hem via the number ticketmaster has (610) 898-7469 but that's not a guarantee
my friend of course isn't answering my texts after telling her i can check on desktop while she's working, simply the worst time to get busy
oof we got f'd
i might as well bring my binoculars💀
Row R LOL. It's a good thing DC puts on a good fucking show that being up front or pushed back makes no diff.
we're even a seat away from each other
Note the balcony starts right above about ORC row H ish...
i might get vip atp
I'm consoling myself with the fact that the show will still be awesome and I didn't pay $1k plus like going to see BP 🙂
Sec 118, Row D, Seat 8 -> Sec FL2, Row CC, Seat 15 -> Sec ORCH C, Row CC, Seat 108
nice
The first move from the arena re-configuration was disappointing, but the move to the performing arts center fixed that.
Row CC is the closest I’ve seen so far
My ticket tier was the $200 with fees
Wait did you not buy pit?
for standard price
Originally
It seems the seated floor seats got priority.
it was not a pit ticket, it was the side section right next to the stage





























I went from pit to row C which is decent compared to a lot of what I’ve seen
Sec 115 Row A seat 1 > section 116 row A seat 1 > Orch R Row T seat 26.
I feel like I got the the poopie end 😦
so people with seated floor seats that were originally supposed to be behind the ga pit are now getting seats in front of those that were given to ga pit holders
anyone else see an issue here
I mean I would call the venue if you don't like your swapped spot
I still have no news. Think I screwed them up by seat hopping between singles and pairs all over the arena? 😂
Sadly sucks but at the same time those seated floors costed a lot more than the pit
yeah and i would've paid that if i knew that this would happen, but i bought ga with the intention of lining up early to get closer
That's probably the logic but it'd be nice to know how they're determining position. I can't imagine trying to create equity across the board is easy
this.
i’m gonna call the venue
who was in charge of seat-reassignment? the venue?
Seriously just gotta call them and see what they can do.
The venue is best because ticketmaster is just the medium
They may send you to tm but I would start with venue
alright i’m gonna call right now to see if anyone answers
Probably hard for them to do much since they probably already assigned every seat starting from the front and moving back
i’ll update you guys
Yeah we’re probably screwed it’s not like they’re gonna have a bunch of seats open that are better just waiting for someone to ask for them
That's what I was thinking. But it's worth a try
Last year I had a FL platinum and then they added a whole extra GA row in front of it 
Welp at least I got the aisle seat I’m just dance next to my seat. Cause there’s no way I’ll be able to see anything
The views should be decent everywhere in that theater I think
I'd say pairs of folks that might be separated are more screwed
I’m in row L nowhere near where any of the friends i’m going with 
Oh I bet
she said it was a pricing tier and there was nothing i could really do to change my seat
Yea I had two tickets but a row difference so my partner is sitting in row U and I’m row T
pricing tier makes sense but people who bought GA bought it to be close…
i’m assuming since my GA ticket was only 100 is why i’m farther back
yep.
We had some people in another server end up being separated when they’re originally sitting together.
There's no pit so it can't be helped. I'll be curious if anything can be done as I'm sure people who went to the cix show had the same questions
Whoever is in that box office tomorrow gonna be in for a trip with all the calls they’ll receive.
yup.
I'm sure they're expecting it
Most people probably have no idea still
Any rebooking or move is gonna create questions
It just sucks that MMT and the venue couldn’t communicate better on this
It looks like the box office might be open on the weekend since there is a sports event
It’ll be too late by then probably
When I called the box office yesterday I just got a recording every time. Left 2 messages lol
Well I'm talking for people who dont know yet heh
i’d hate to be an employee at the box office rn lol
When did you call, they have hours
True
Anyone not following social media probably has no idea
the lady i spoke with was like “it was reassigned by pricing😐… anything else?😒”
I called during hours
like ok girly sorry
Tomorrow they are definitely open at 10 am est and I'm sure it'll be rough
Yesterday they were likely sorting out how to swap
I called the performance center and got transferred to the box office.
One time just went straight to leave a message the other time it played some recording telling me to leave a message or whatever
I've only got one number in the pin and another tm gave people
Same
The good old hit 0 til you get an operator trick
What’s the Ticketmaster one again?
Same as in the pin but ending 7469 iirc
That's a Santander number but it's what tm gave some folks
Unfortunately all I can do is drop confirmed info, sorry you all are going through this
So much for giving them my flag. Anyone up front willing to help me out?
Santander lady told me on more than one occasion ticketmaster was assigning the seats based on pricing and that pit people would get the "first couple of rows" which obviously isn't possible
Not sure how close to the front of the stage from the first row it is
I ended up in C which is the equivalent of 6th
Likely best effort if there are a lot of pit purchasers then. Hmm
They kept my tickets together too somehow. I bought 2 extra for friends and we're all sitting together now
I think if they were bought together they kept them together it seems
Unfortunately not for some.
Oh
Yeah had a friend in the other server get their seats separated in the venue when they were together in the original
Good day to call out
yea i’m in the 17th… 😀
doing it by pricing is stupid. they should have done it by the order of who was the closest
Guess I’ll just have to walk up to the front during the show and show the flag.🤷♂️ maybe then they’ll see it and I can lob it to them. 🤷♂️
that just makes the most sense.
I have (had) 2 pairs that for each of them I bought the adjoining seats separately
Man I’m not sure how pricing works typicslly, if set by the venue, group, or just ticketmaster
But prices for a lot of the performing arts is so much cheaper compared to what we had paid
yep.
no hate to floor people obviously but i just find it ridiculous how they’re getting closer than GA
pricing tier just isn’t fair
They should of
Idk
Done some partial refunds with that
you PAID for floor. you payed to be that far away. GA paid to be close. that’s that.
yep
sorry i’m just a little salty with TM rn lol
The one thing I looked at (for another thing as couldn’t see with dc except the few open seats) where I’m at says about 50 or so when we paid about a 100 per ticket
So unsure how pricing is determined but
I think pricing is set by the tour…person? company ? depending on venue and then tm adds their ridiculous plat premiums and fees on top of it
I think it is yeah, just taking a look at some different things going on at the place
But with the change man tm could have done smth
tm is only trying to keep all their coins 🥲
they don’t give a shit who is where
Tm /neg
Assuming this in reference to my seating change report, I didn't pay for floor. I got moved there after the stage reconfiguration. This was my original seat.
it’s always abt money.
oh no no not you
i’m in another server
sorry i didn’t mean to come off as though i was hating on you for being close😭 i was just sharing my disappointment about the fairness of the seating
I bought my ticket for DC 2 nights ago out of impulse and I'm closer then my GA to seat change for this 💀
ik i’ve said it a million times but this is just so messy 😭
I don’t envy TM for this one. It’s impossible to move all the seats over and make everyone happy
no prob, I felt the same way when they moved my seat behind the pit after they moved the stage in, and they wouldn't let me exchange seats to get back into the stands. I ended buying another ticket which I don't need anymore now.
Ok, I’ve got U V X and Z. All the most popular letters 😂
2 pairs, 2 singles, and one single still not converted.
we were both floor 1 seated front row last year right?
imagine if we did that again this year LOL
it's so fucked but at the same time, people who chose those seats have probably never been close enough to the stage before, so it's a wonderful chance for them
true
i’ve never been up close at a kpop concert💔
this is also my first time seeing dc lol
Row H isn't terrible as a seat in itself. what makes it terrible are the people who don't know how to hold their phones up at face level and extend their arms above their head inconsiderately
I was like Floor row C last year so no matter what I’m closer this year 
i think row H is probably the same distance as row aa which is what i was
this. i made a sign but i don’t think i’m gonna bring it:((
still had a blast from that distance but mostly because the gap between GA and Seated helped with the phone issues
i’m in the middle of my row
aww that sucks
is pa the only one you're doing?
yep
oh whale
i’m just letting myself be upset about it today and i’ll get over it tmw lol
there's a seat in my row in ny that's available if you've got $300 to drop
row e sec 101
all good
i’ve caved and decided to get vip lol
if i cant see my girls up close i might as well high five them LMAO
That's the spirit
you can probably carry your sign with one hand
and hifive them with the other
true!!
do you think i’d be able to give siyeon my letter? i’m not sure if they’re allowed to recieve things at that time
i dunno you can try, but in ny in 2019 they didn't allow it
hmmm okok
a guy behind me tried but i dunno if he was able to do it
gotcha
maybe try and get at the end of the line
ooooo smart!!!
you can go slower and they'll probably be more inclined to take it since no one is behind you
that’s so so smart
i was in the back of the line in ny for the 2019 show and i got to chat with jiu for a little bit, was nice
im surprised i said anything coherent in korean
that eye smile is SO pretty in person
they're all so pretty
my korean is meh but i’ll try my hardest lol
i’m good at typing it and reading
but when it comes to speaking and listening? YIKES
lmao, my listening is better than my speaking. i sound great by myself
in front of someone who can understand me?
fuck no
sigh, what a day
me too
the most relatable thing ever.
my emotions have been 📈📉📈📉📈
So, will people be able to transfer tickets again?
could be just misinformation, but i saw someone say tickets that were transferred went back to the original purchaser, so they'd have to be IF that's the case. It better not be though because people who bought tickets off someone else would get royally fucked. That person could decide to keep their money and the ticket
I believe that is the case, at least what I’m hearing from a friend. Transferred ticket went back to the original buyer, who’s saying tm wont let them transfer.
I’m hoping that it’s just because things are still being updated, but tomorrow or whatever when the apps update tickets will be transferrable.
Because yes, if they can’t be its going to be a disaster for some people
fingers crossed. because im sure a lot of people would get screwed in that case then they'd have an even smaller attendance
Yeah 🙁
i officially have vip!! does anyone know when check in is?
i think in atlanta and dc it was from 3-5pm
ok sounds good
Atlanta was 3-5 and merch opened at 3:15ish. Dreamcatcher was performing sound check during (about 5 songs) behind closed doors, so recommend getting there early
With assigned seats there's not much worry about getting there too early so once you're checked in for VIP you can probably wander back to the hotel, have dinner, whatever. At least, that's my plan
We did that for Atlanta after you couldn’t hear soundcheck anymore and ran all the fan gifts ppl brought to car. Less to carry
Yeah, with basically a "no bags" policy at the venue I'm trying to carry very little - mongmongi with no extension, and nothing else that won't fit in my pockets.
wait can i still bring my clear bag??
Yeah they allow clear bags
But I don't have any clear bags, I've never actually even seen a clear bag anywhere, and a ziplock (like they suggest) is functionally useless because you then have to carry it in your hands normally anyway so there's no point
Half tempted to shove a folded drawstring bag in my cargo pants pocket for the walk back to the hotel after the show
Most I’ve seen you have to order off Amazon or smth
yea i ordered mine!
lol gg
percentage of people going to print their tickets before the concert is tiny, this is going to be a shitshow
Oh god
shitshow intensifies
Oh wow... I don't even have a printer
- Turn your printer on and make sure it has paper. It is always good to double-check.
Dreamcatcher in 2023

Oh that’s a lot
I was just thinking once you get the email with the tickets
I would assume it could be scanned on your phone via the email
Ahhh what I was worried about is happening, my mom saying about a refund
N o I am going
I’m either blind or they didn’t actually send the tickets yet

This is stressing me out bad
I hope it’s not mandatory
I don't see why you couldn't just open the pdf on your phone instead of printing it.
worst case, it's because this venue operates like 2003 and doesnt have scanners
and is like tearing tickets

honor system lol
I requested a refund for the extra ticket I bought. Let's see if it goes through.
where was the seat?
Orch L Row U
That was a side section seat after they moved the stage forward. I bought it because they moved my original ticket to floor behind pit.
what path did you take to submit a refund request? I want to do the same tbh
Go to your order on the website and contact support via the automated chat.
It's after 8pm so they prob won't respond until tomorrow.
I had a seat right next to the stage but now I'm ALLLL the way in the back at row Y. Fantastic.
I CHUCKLED
right there with you 
ik it’ll be a great concert regardless though!
I just broke my Lightstick. I WANT TO CRY
OMG NO
a normal day in ticket master
