That’s like bare minimum

#

Majority are people who going 🥴

#

YH is a swift fan so I don’t know how I got blessed

#

Haha

#

Shit just aligns 💀

muted night
#

I actually inquired about premium seating options for Levi's (that's the pro move for larger venues) and the suites started at 20k which includes 20 tickets but no catered food. YouTube theater box tickets are actually really great value for what you get.

digital needle
#

I think I'm gonna be giving up for now. Got my one and it's decent

candid swan
#

Sameee. We should meet up@on concert day lol

digital needle
#

I need to stretch my legs

candid swan
#

normal tundra
#

#

all plat tho

pseudo python
#

FYI 2 seats in row B at $500 each + fees just opened up

digital needle
#

queen juniper
digital needle
#

normal tundra
#

They look open rn

#

ok nvm

slow spade
#

It's like whack-a-mole trying to click these blue dots 🔵

normal tundra
#

Yuh. So did anyone get those A seats that opened up

digital needle
#

maybe some rich somnie

queen juniper
#

any rich somnies feeling particularly generous today?

digital needle
#

i bet most of the first seven rows are just plat (the ones left anyway)

normal tundra
#

Cassidy there's another row b

#

it's a single tho

queen juniper
#

oof

normal tundra
#

rip

queen juniper
#

i clicked on it and was debating if $500 is worth it

#

and it got sniped right then

normal tundra
#

there's another

#

ok nvm lol

#

i would click the secure button and then you have a few minutes to decide

queen juniper
#

lmk if theres any row a lmao

lucid storm
queen juniper
#

that is true

normal tundra
#

yuh idk how much longer I'll be looking at this

queen juniper
#

it also depends if my dad will let me Clueless

digital needle
#

it's just whackamole at this moment

lucid storm
normal tundra
#

I actually got lucky and grabbed one of those A seats

#

But paid through the nose for it

queen juniper
#

but my dad still wont let me go by myself

digital needle
#

582 or something?

normal tundra
#

Yeah

lucid storm
#

I mean my family knows what purchases I make, but that's because we all use the same credit card account because it gets better points.

queen juniper
#

well its less "im not allowed to go by myself" and more "my parents are paying me to let them come with me"

normal tundra
#

That's nice of them. So you have to buy three tickets?

queen juniper
#

3 plane tickets, 2 hotel rooms, 2 tickets for each concert

#

mom comes to sf concert, dad comes to la

lucid storm
#

So yeah, I would be getting yelled at if I bought tickets at prices $200 and above.

normal tundra
#

Expensive

queen juniper
#

i mean i know i can pay them back for a $1k ticket

#

im just not sure how happy they would be letting me borrow that

#

even though i have a pretty good "credit history" borrowing money from my parents

#

and i just started a much better paying job

broken nest
#

thatts so cool

lucid storm
#

I almost want to post the you guys are getting paid? GIF again.

queen juniper
#

not having to pay rent certainly helps

broken nest
#

im getting paid now minimum wage tho

#

haha

#

yeah I dont have rent or bills

#

just going to school

#

so theres where my money comes from

lucid storm
#

Like I'm not poor but I don't have disposable income to throw around like this.

broken nest
#

and FAFSA

#

they just paid me out yesterday its like they knew

#

not enough for me to buy no 200 tickets tho

lucid storm
#

Or actually I kind of did for a period.

#

But now the family thinks I spend too much and told me to stop.

queen juniper
#

im at that exact awkward transition phase where i havent moved out yet but i have a job that would pay enough were i to pay rent

#

and so i just have a shit ton of money to throw around akkoshrug

#

well not exactly a "shit ton" but

#

enough for a concert like this

broken nest
#

no way in hell i would be able with my job

#

hahah

#

unless im good at saving

lucid storm
#

I mean I am at an age were I'm too old to still have them tell me what to do, but it is what it is.

broken nest
#

nah living on your own is better

#

lmao

#

makes you more responsible

queen juniper
#

i feel like as long as im living rent free in my parents basement its fine for them to tell me what to do lmao

dry agate
#

Ill see you guys in 2 months !!!!

broken nest
#

lmaoo

#

yes yes

queen juniper
#

normal tundra
#

See you guys then!

broken nest
#

queen juniper
normal tundra

broken nest
#

$500

#

Lol jk

normal tundra
#

Lmao

broken nest
#

lmao

normal tundra
#

You can have it for what I paid

queen juniper
#

how much is that

normal tundra
#

Lemme find out

broken nest
#

$500

#

you're not going nomore?

queen juniper
#

i think they got a better seat

lucid storm
dry agate
#

Arm yourselvesInSomnia

queen juniper
#

my parents will never be grandparents

normal tundra
#

$155.30 for Row G15

queen juniper
#

nice

normal tundra
lucid storm
#

My parents probably won't either.

normal tundra
#

Yeah I got one of those A seats

dry agate
queen juniper
normal tundra
#

No sadly lmao

lucid storm
#

A seats?

normal tundra
#

I was a sucker and paid for the plat

queen juniper
#

tysm

#

congrats on your row a

normal tundra
#

But you do know the seating map right?

queen juniper
#

yeah

normal tundra
#

Okie

queen juniper
#

g is better than o any day

normal tundra
#

Wait so are you just leaving your parents lmao

lucid storm
#

Oh is the A seat comment not related to the screenshot?

queen juniper
#

ill figure out something for my mom

#

tentatively ill have her sit further back in row o but hopefully i can snag another g before the concert

normal tundra
#

That was for Cassidy who is interested in the ticket I'm selling her

broken nest
#

do they let you cancel seats or nah

#

ooo youre in O with me?

normal tundra
#

fck I'm not canceling seats. Ticketmaster would pick them up and sell at a premium instead

queen juniper
normal tundra
#

I'd rather sell it for standard price

dusk vessel
#

Not right now. The event organizer didn't allow that feature for refunds or selling yet

queen juniper
#

to someone here

broken nest
#

i was gonna move from O to L for same price

#

but i realized L is further right

#

away from the center

queen juniper
#

nah l is 4 rows ahead of o

#

oh

broken nest
#

i got O center

#

ish

#

its okay ill leave it be

queen juniper
#

yeah im fine with being on the far left

#

if it means im 8 rows further ahead

normal tundra
queen juniper
#

the plat tickets go down in price over time right

broken nest
queen juniper
#

bc they got it while it was still fresh and not plat

#

lmao yeah no my dad says i cant take it, i need 2 tickets

normal tundra
#

Hahaha yeah I wouldn't want to leave someone alone with strangers

queen juniper
#

so dw about it go ahead and sell it on #1064965195107143750

broken nest
pseudo python
normal tundra
#

nonono I had to skip last year's SF tour so I'm holding onto this seat this time

queen juniper
#

how likely do yall think a comeback before the tour would be

forest obsidian
#

Who knows at this point

#

dcc just being wild

#

I can see it both ways

queen juniper
#

im ok with clowning and pure speculation

forest obsidian
#

If they plan on additional tours later in the year, maybe they split it like last time

queen juniper
#

hell, im the one who was convinced bts's map of the soul shadow would come out in august 2019

forest obsidian
#

with NA tour then release and EU tour

normal tundra
#

If just clowning, a comeback before March 18 would prob have the current plat ticket prices sitting pretty

#

They would be undervalued imo

queen juniper
#

so if i wanna buy these plat tickets eventually and im gambling on their prices dropping, i need to do even more gambling and buy them before a comeback is announced?

forest obsidian
#

They would also have to squeeze it in reasonably soon given it's a little over a month before the tour starts

broken nest
#

damn the GA in LA is all standing?

dense ridge
#

Sadly yes

broken nest
#

that looks wild

dense ridge
#

I’m gonna be standing in the back

broken nest
#

My GA tickets at wiltern were probably my worst time haha

dense ridge
#

🥲

broken nest
#

couldnt see shit

#

and it was middle too

dense ridge
#

Did you wait 6hrs in the hot sun too?

broken nest
#

have to camp to get better

dense ridge
#

My god that was rough

broken nest
#

nope thats why i couldnt see

#

;[

lucid storm
#

Is it weird that I like standing concerts?

broken nest
#

kinda but if you camp and get front i dont blame ya

forest obsidian
#

It's fine if it's your thing or you can

dense ridge
#

You “Crazy” Mike for a reason

broken nest
#

lmfao

queen juniper
#

honesly in my experience at seated concerts ive stood up for most of it anyway

forest obsidian
#

but a lot of people dislike having to wait all day in line and then more during for a good view but it's all subjective

broken nest
#

its annoying at taylor concerts

#

cuz everyone stands out their seated

#

so its either stand or cant see

#

haha

dense ridge
#

The waiting part for first come first serve is the shitty part about standing concerts

queen juniper
#

i can stand for 3 hours during a concert

broken nest
#

yeah tahts the only

#

thing

#

othr wise seat superior all the way

forest obsidian
#

That's the nice thing about seated, no need to wait all day or worry about spot for bathroom/food/merch etc

queen juniper
#

i just stood for 11 hours outside in the hot sun, i can handle 3 more while seeing dc live

dense ridge
#

I went to see Loona in platform shoes at the Wiltern, thinking I learn my lesson from DC the month prior and fk me that was rough too

lucid storm
#

I've never been to a concert where people actually sat the whole time. Seated or not seated.

broken nest
#

thats why you get best view

queen juniper
#

i was in flip flops at wiltern lmao

#

note to self: bring real shoes next time

dense ridge
#

You also got ppl from behind pushing you around as they try to reach the front so that’s annoying

lucid storm
#

Also I've been to a concert where I was so far away that I had to watch it on the big screens on the sides of the stage to tell what was going on.

queen juniper
#

and holy fuck, actually being able to see the performers is a completely different experience

#

i cant go back now

forest obsidian
#

Yeah it's wild

queen juniper
#

every minute of that line was worth it

forest obsidian
#

Even being close it's such a difference even just between watching them up close vs recording

broken nest
#

I was middle and it was already a surreal moment

#

seeing them

lucid storm
#

Usually there is an honor system, but at the last show I was at, some random old guy wedged himself into spot next to me.

broken nest
#

I cant imagine being in front I would di hahha

#

die*

queen juniper
#

yeah, at bts for example when i was in the back and had to use the screens in hindsight i might as well have just watched a fancam

broken nest
#

ah

lucid storm
#

This is how I feel about not being near the stage now.

queen juniper
#

but when you're in the pit and you can see with your own eyes and not someone else's camera that dreamcatcher is right there its cool as hell
thats the kind of experience i want from every concert now

lucid storm
#

Either see them up close or just watch a fancam.

forest obsidian
#

even when it's through your own phone/camera it's so different than just looking up or around it

queen juniper
#

yeah

#

recording takes away from the experience so much

broken nest
#

i need to stop that

#

lol

#

bad habit

forest obsidian
#

I think it's fine if it's certain parts you enjoy or for just memories but if it's whole shows and you are impairing others view it's kind of meh

#

I mean you do you because they paid to be there also, but idk why you would pay to be in person just to watch it through your phone

queen juniper
#

i think i'll be more comfortable with recording some parts this time around bc im going to 2 concerts

#

and if i miss a song bc i recorded it then i can see it normally at the other concert

celest folio
#

wow wtf didn't realize tix already went on sale, that was a stupid fast turnaround from announcement

#

oh well, at least I got something decent, how much were front row tix?

forest obsidian
#

I mean didn't miss much tbh

#

Oakland being seated seemed to mess with tickets

celest folio
#

well coulda gotten something close looks like, so that's a little sadge

#

annoying that los angeles is floor ga only

normal tundra
#

I think 250$ for standard and 500$ for platinum

forest obsidian
#

so No one was able to even get tickets for about 30 mins

celest folio
#

partly tempted to hit up la

forest obsidian
#

kept crashing and saying nothing was available

celest folio
#

oh well, at least I'm glad they're coming back so soon

forest obsidian
#

and by then it was 300-400 for front area seated resale

celest folio
#

this time I can bring my new waifu to see them

#

i assume mymusic will do some sorta vip thing again

#

and most of us will be in that lol

forest obsidian
#

Likely but might not announce for a bit like last time

#

The reselling is real though, tickets way behind what I got are going for 2-3x what I payed

normal tundra
#

It would be great if another platform was picked up with better ethics but ticketmaster has a chokehold on these venues

broken nest
#

I sad skipping La

#

Seeing the standing

#

I ain’t driving down there for that

#

Lol

#

See y’all in July 💀

normal tundra
#

What's in July

forest obsidian
#

Last time was nice in SF they had axs

celest folio
#

yea axs is way fucking better

#

I always have far better ticket buying experiences on axs

#

ticketmaster just feels more and more like a scam every year

forest obsidian
#

All the homies hate ticketmaster

celest folio
#

it was pretty shit that they were allowed to buy livenation and become a massive monopoly

dense ridge
broken nest
#

Getting shorter and shorter

#

Until we homeless

#

Cb in may tour in July

dense ridge
#

Instant ramen here I come

#

Even the price of instant ramen went up

broken nest
#

I barely recovered out the negative from the last one

#

…..

dense ridge
#

What was 25 cent is now 39 cent for the crappy top ramen

broken nest
#

When I saw reason im like oooo it’s just an anni song

#

Nice

Seeing seats in balcony/quite a ways behind mine going for a lot more

last surge
forest obsidian
#

A lot of my pics are scuffed

last surge
#

and that was with the RX100 too, not the A1s

last surge
#

it's kinda a part of the whole concert experience. We're all too hype to focus on shooting

forest obsidian
#

I mean to be fair i don’t take many and it’s with my phone

last surge
#

and then, also DCC doesn't allow me to post everything I shoot

#

you can get good phone pics, honestly.

#

like, my itzy and my twice photos on my twitter are all phone pics

forest obsidian
#

A friend took some really nice pics with his phone

normal tundra
#

What lens were you using for the Gahyeon pic?

#

Considering bringing my camera now..

open sparrow

I was convinced A was frontmost lol

open sparrow
#

How much was those?

last surge
#

500 plus fees

#

ugh

but my thought was "cheaper than resale."

open sparrow
#

Oof

pseudo python
last surge
#

yeah, the pit is X/Y

open sparrow
#

Oof

last surge
#

if pit pops up again, I might dump them, but honestly, I shouldn't think about upgrading further

pseudo python
last surge
#

the scary thing is that I could have carted 6

#

but, TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS DISCORD

normal tundra
#

I mean, I was convinced X and Y were excluded from sales but if we have anyone here who got them, it would be cool for them to confirm

last surge
#

too many ticketing windows open

rip.

I checked out at 1:56p

What time zone?

pseudo python
#

Oh

but, then again, we know how scuffed the launch was

dry agate
pseudo python
#

I lost my mind when I got that error upon making it out of the queue

last surge
#

#

I was like "WHY

#

I got a two digit queue number when it started

#

and then boom

normal tundra
#

Rip

last surge
#

had to rejoin and just had to camp it

normal tundra
#

I got mine at 10:50 pst

pseudo python
#

I have a decent ticket but am just hoping to catch one of the row A seats if one randomly pops up SiStare2

last surge
#

the only "annoying" thing about grabbing my As was that I now have to dump two other tickets

normal tundra
#

Good luck with that. the resale channel doesn't seem to have many takers rn

last surge
#

there's... a resale channel?

hello, we don’t have vip benefits huh

dusk vessel
#

I am. I need to...resell some tickets I purchased early on (plus waiting for TM/DC to allow refunds, because I bought wrong tickets, too. I clicked on x tickets, and received another further away one). So, have some to resell...ha

dusk vessel
#

I wish aYooPray

dry agate
#

I dont think any of them have vip benefits im guessing they gonna add later if they have any

magic cedar
#

bruh LA scammed

#

dusk vessel
#

But yeah! Hopefully see some of you guys there somehow. If I can't resell my tickets for Face Value later, will see if some friends in the area want them

open sparrow
#

Mines was $210 for DD in Orch rear

normal tundra
#

Well shoot Garnet if you want Row G, Seat 15 for face value lmk

dusk vessel
#

Do you have preference on whether it's side or middle?

broken nest
#

I had middle GA somehow worse than my baloncony seats

#

I thought I would have better view GA

#

Yeah no camp it’s on me

last surge
#

I think my crew got barricade but they got there around 2a and we had their VIP upgrade thing too

broken nest
#

open sparrow
#

Standing sucks if you're not in the very front

broken nest
#

It’s my first concert

last surge
#

seated > GA

#

broken nest
#

Yeah

#

It’s been a god send lol

normal tundra
#

Definitely happy that these were seated this time

last surge
#

I don't know how the hell people sleep when queuing that long. I'm wide awake when I do it

Oh I know why it was hiked up, cus of the platinum shig

normal tundra
#

By yours truly, Ticketmaster

open sparrow
#

Felt like it's a scam xD

queen juniper
#

ticketmaster shut the fuck up and give us the damn tickets at face value

broken nest
#

So what’s platinum just a TM tax?

queen juniper
#

its ticketmaster scalping their own tickets

broken nest
#

Do I get anything else with my Platinum tickets?
Platinum Tickets aren’t part of a package, so the price you're paying is just for the tickets – there aren't any added extras or VIP/hospitality elements to the booking.

#

Tf

normal tundra
#

No you don't

broken nest
#

Better be hinwave

open sparrow
#

Guess should of looked at the seating chart

normal tundra
#

You picked any platinum seating?

broken nest
#

Hope they get smashed in court

#

There’s a hearing for the taylor shit right

queen juniper
broken nest
#

Yeahhh they’re gonna get theirs

dry agate
broken nest
#

How’s the tier up to 200 when I click front row it was 400

#

Lmaooo

queen juniper
#

but again, we live in a system of capitalism that rewards this kind of behavior so they're not stopping any time soon

#

nothing we can do about it

#

(fuck capitalism)

dry agate
#

Having a monopoly and desperate fans = 🤮

broken nest
#

Rooting for their downfall

open sparrow
lucid storm
#

There was a presell?

queen juniper
#

there wasnt

they just felt the need to shut down the website to normal customers and let all the bots buy tickets while we were stuck waiting for the queue to not be paused

lucid storm

Oh that

broken nest

Saw this morning before our tickets

lucid storm
#

This is how I feel about buying things now a days.

tranquil jungle
lucid storm

Too many resellers, scalpers, and bots.

queen juniper
#

scalpers get first dibs

queen juniper
#

fans get leftovers

tranquil jungle
#

okay thanks YooPray

last surge
#

and I was overt about it. I did get stopped at Gidle (because Cube is Cube) and Loona (just the last two songs and security grabbed me rather than the guy shooting with a full camera in front of me)

tranquil jungle
#

like security just goes to you and says you have to put it away? or you got escorted out Frogshocked

last surge
#

I got pulled out and had to give over my SD card in Loona

normal tundra
#

Wtfffff

last surge
#

I had spares so I gave them a blank

#

it might have had cat photos on it. who knows.

tranquil jungle
#

dang idk if I have the guts to do something like that haha

lucid storm
#

People will resell anything that can be resold these days.

normal tundra
#

Yeah maybe I'll just go without my camera lol...

queen juniper
#

greedy sacks of shit will scalp any product that exists and make a profit off of it with no consequences

normal tundra
#

Though it would be cool to take and share photos

last surge
#

photos make me enjoy the show more, honestly. But it was nice to be forced to put away all my stuff and just watch the show in London

normal tundra
#

Also @last surge how do you like the rx100 in comparison to a1

last surge
#

I hate it.

normal tundra
#

I always consider having a point and shoot

#

oh ok well I should stop considering lmao

last surge
#

well, it's a solid camera

#

honestly.

#

but, the sensor isn't good enough to go to 1/1000, f2.8, iso 1600

#

I have to go 1/250, f4.5, iso 1600

normal tundra
#

That's understandable

last surge
#

it's hard to just go back from a full frame to a P&S

#

but, hell, better than a phone?

normal tundra
#

Is it

last surge
#

just for the 24-200mm zoom

normal tundra
#

Ok. tyty

last surge
#

that was at 200mm with the rx100

#

this too

normal tundra
#

You got me considering again

lethal pendant
#

no JiU? >.>

last surge
#

so, you can pull decent stuff out of its sensor. it's a bit harder and it has a SLOW buffer

tranquil jungle
last surge
#

a little light banding there though

tranquil jungle
#

I am not a professional photographer or even an amateur one, I'd just be using it as a point and shoot

#

but my phone's camera is just bad

last surge
#

yeah, it's an improvement over a phone, no doubt

tranquil jungle
#

I don't want to be taken away by security though 😭

normal tundra
#

Man I look at the price of the rx100 and then think, that’s money for another ff lens

last surge
#

yeah, I got mine used

#

I never buy camera gear new

#

i'm dreading having to buy a 100-400, but I think I'll need it for shoots

#

I covered OneUs and they made me shoot from the 26th row

normal tundra
#

Lulu if you’re thinking about better pics bc your phone camera isn’t cutting it, have you considered a new phone haha

#

It'd be unlikely people ask you to put away your phone at the concert

#

Def not the same as shooting with a camera tho

last surge
#

i've been tempted by that sony xperia pro phone

#

same sensor as the rx100, but it doesn't use the whole sensor 😦

broken nest
tranquil jungle
broken nest
#

send another of YH and I don't bother you anymore lmao

last surge
#

i could spam non DC photos here that shows you want you can pull off with a silly phone

tranquil jungle

I do have an iPhone 13 work phone as long as my company doesn't check and be like "why do you have 200 pictures of idols on your phone"

last surge
lucid storm

I realized years ago that I can't take photos at concerts.

I miss my pixel so much 😭😭😭 despite being like 5 years older it definitely shot better than my Samsung

tranquil jungle

wow these shots are so good, I could never deadge_family

last surge
#

for every good shoot I have, I have like 20 crappy ones

dusk vessel
#

That ratio is pretty good. Better than selfie ratios

last surge
#

that's the story of Dami and me. She's VERY hard to photograph

normal tundra
#

20fps helps

last surge
#

30fps with my a1s

#

and CF Express cards

normal tundra
#

that's with lossless compression?

#

I forgot the numbers

last surge
#

full compressed, unforunately

#

lossless is 20

normal tundra
#

right ok

last surge
#

until I get can get 320gb CF cards, I have to go full compressed

#

since I can't change cards while in the pit. It would take too much time

#

I only get three songs

in london, I shot like 6k photos in 10 minutes.

tranquil jungle

DCC has a specific look they want to present, so they told me to whitewash and soften more

March 15th. Aka the Irving show lol

Ok why am I only now getting an email to buy tickets?

mystic isle

Imagine getting that email without knowing tickets were on sale earlier today

lucid storm
#

Haven't missed anything . . . lies . . .

mystic isle
#

There’s still a good amount of tickets if anyone is looking for a pair. Source: just checked Ticketmaster

lucid storm
#

There is but the ones in my desired price range are too far back.

#

Everything in the half not under the balcony is $200 or more.

mystic isle
#

Yeah that’s brutal. My home girl had front row in the cart but Ticketmaster took that away smh

lucid storm

Yeah going to 9 concerts in the last 6-7 months wrecked my concert budget.

9?!

concerts are the best yolo moments though

forest obsidian

I feel that

mystic isle
#

You’ll prolly do it again tho lol

forest obsidian
#

I, like most, wasn’t expecting this. Even more with only 2 day notice on tickets

#

So I thought I was safe to spend beforehand

mystic isle
#

Omg same

forest obsidian
mystic isle
#

Until I did research the other night

#

🫠

lucid storm
#

It was announced 2 days before last time also.

forest obsidian
#

I mean i still got 2 stops but damn

lucid storm
#

But tickets were also cheaper last time.

mystic isle
#

I had to ask my friend group to move our Nintendoland trip for this

#

They are real ones for letting me have this date

forest obsidian
#

Yeah

last surge
#

the fansign announcement is what's going to break us

forest obsidian
#

Last year i was able to get sf vip + hi wave for the price of these tickets

lucid storm
#

Plus I already got a ticket to concert in March.

forest obsidian
mystic isle
#

I was so jealous of that

forest obsidian
#

Oh i cant even think about fansign

#

I’m still recovering from my last fansign lol

lucid storm
#

So I already kind of need to calm down on concerts.

forest obsidian
#

As much as I’d love to see them in person like that

#

Not really in the cards with it being this soon

#

Mine was just like a month and a half ago

#

Too soon

mystic isle
#

I’ll like to get to a fansign just once and then I’ll be good

forest obsidian
#

Yup

#

I did a video one once and i’m good, all that’s left is in person once

mystic isle
#

How was the video one in your experience?

forest obsidian
#

It was pretty good

#

It was kind meh on the place they were at had meh connection

#

So a lot of people myself included had times of audio/video problems

#

Like we couldn’t hear the other or some lag

#

Someone had their call straight up just disconnected and when they got it back they wouldn’t let them talk to the person it disconnected on

#

Mine was relatively stable

#

Aside from the beginning with Yoohyeon

#

Which she couldn’t hear anything

mystic isle
#

Sheeesh. That’s my fear if I decide to do video and knowing that you might not reconnect.

forest obsidian
#

Which at least gave me this wonderful screencap

#

So at least i can look back and laugh a bit

mystic isle
#

Yoohyeon made you a personal meme the fan service is crazy good

forest obsidian
#

I would say Sua did too

#

A few fun moments with her than can be screenshot for meme purposes

#

Just made the best out of the situation

mystic isle
#

You maximized your experience for what you were given respect 🤝

forest obsidian
#

Sometimes you just gotta take what you get

#

In the end still got some cool time to talk with all of them along with the special photo cards and signed album so can’t be mad

digital needle
#

bro if there's a fansign or VIP I will cry

#

and then throw more money at them because why not, I'm already in to the tune of 250 bucks

forest obsidian
#

Yeah fansigns always brutal

#

Unless you have unbelievable luck

digital needle
#

I had mine already lol. Won a ktown lose myself fancall with the girls back in 2020. I bought four albums and walked away with Yoohyeon as my bias

forest obsidian
#

I might buy a couple because a chance is still a chance but no shot I’m going deep like last time

broken nest
velvet ocean
#

barrier to entry was as small as 5-10 and in Chicago's case 1 person got in on a single album

#

I expect competition to be fiercer but compared to how these normally go during an actual CB I think the chances are better

open sparrow
#

e-tix was a better experience with yerin baek than this.. since I did upgrade my tic then. I wouldn't mind axs, like the last tour

#

or was that sumni xD

I think it depended on the stop

I know SF used AXS and so did Sunmi when I saw her
