69 tyler’s fav number funny number
(sorry for missing yesterday i was celebrating my dads birthday)
happy bday to ur dad
He said Ty :)
i just got my hands on the very last accessible tickets
i never thought i’d be able to do this again
feeling very blessed today
so with that: anyone bringing tape or do i need my own?
YAYYYY
CONGRATS
feeling a bit emotional still, i saw a lone companion ticket on Ticketmaster so checked the arena site and there it was
seatmap looks incredible
it is really special its gonna be an amazing show
i cant wait 😭
its pretty much sold out as well the demand was there woww
me neither 😭 last time i saw them was Belfast 2019 😔
like, LOOK at this
I THINK IM NEAR THAT SECTION
OMG YOU MIGHT BE
I think me and my mum are around there aswell lol!
nvm im in section 107
I can only remember that we are at the middle of the back
so many big artists usually skip over manchester im so glad TOP still come here
Bc we were originally gonna be at 117 but we saw that you can’t see anything there
Fr
and we sold them out so hopefully they'll continue to come here
Yea
ive not been to the ao arena since 2019 cause artists i want to go and see are always in london or liverpool
so frustrating
i think that view is one of the bests you can get, you don’t just see the artist, you see the WHOLE arena, how packed it gets, how beautiful the lights are - you’ll get an amazing view of the mulberry lights !!
happy that you were able to get tickets!! excited for you and all of us in this chat!

final day of aussie leg no shows until january

not to alarm you but you started this countdown 100 days ago
time flies ;-;
started as a thing to remind us that we're 1 day closer to the show everyday
I last went in 2019 too, I wonder if the security is still really strict
The zip on my jacket set off the metal detector and I got pulled aside 
oh shi
that's mental
don’t i’m in an electric wheelchair with crutches in the back they r gonna HATE me
i think you have a different entrance to use so should be all good
hoping so, i’ve never done this arena
the security 100% has to be strict especially at ao arena
cause of yk
past incidents
yeah i know
but its been 5 extra years, it may have relaxed a little
they’re firm, i don’t think they’re strict
true
i think they still have no bag policies and stuff tho
well when i went in 19 it was akin to an airport, no fluids/bags etc, couldnt even take in tape. thats strict to me lol
only small bags are allowed, still not liquids, i don’t know about tape but like heavy things that you’re able to throw can’t be allowed in, i know it would be strict after what happened in 2017, some of the same rules still apply but it’s not as bad
fair enough
so excited for may!!
so excited to meet some of yall
i made a trench hoodie that i’ll probably wear cuz the kitchen sink fit ended up growing mould somehow while i came back to the US 🙁🙁
also how’s the weather in may in manchester??? i’ve only ever been during september/october so idk what to pack!!
are you american?
if so dont expect hot weather
its miserable and rainy pretty much everyday
but you never know
yeah it might be kinda warm in may but i doubt it
may can be unpredictable, some days it can be getting over the april showers and storms, some it can be really beautiful, clear blue skies and blossoming trees but you can never predict it lol
Especially here

Yeah may is very odd, it may be sunny or it may piss it down 😭

Are y'all getting hotels or driving back that night for work/education?
Hotel!!
driving back for college the next day 😔
dont live far from the arena anyway
like 30 mins
i live in greater manchester lmao i just get the tram there and back it’s like a 20 minute journey to/from the arena
hotel! i’ve got a room right across from the arena
as long as i can sleep im fine tbh
Same, but I'm 90 minutes down the m6 away 😭
i also have a car rental so if anything
dang
Idk
I really don’t want to wait an hour to go sleep

Dawg I'm seeing all these videos of a shit ton of people sitting through the most goated songs. That happen here?
FR so many videos in america i saw from the tour people in seats were sat down looking so bored like wtf r u doing there
i will be up for the entire show idc 😭
Bro please 🙏
Hope there's more energy for ours cause dayum bruh, tis my first concert
ive only been to 1 concert in manchester but it was one of the best of my life because everyone has so much energy
i wouldnt worry about it
manchester is usually really good
like at the bandito tour the crowd was loud
yh

hey guys i need some help! i'm looking to get this bag for the tour (plus any other shows i go to!!) but im not sure if it fits with the arenas bag policy
here's the measurements for it
I’ve always had a Fanny pack for gigs and it was never an issue
Most venues allow something around an A5 sized bag but do always check with any venue you go into to be sure

God it is so expensive though 😦
£120 💔💔
nah thats bs I aint paying allat
Me and my group decided nah based on the price
On top of an already expensive show ticket
anyone else who's gotten fpe tickets and need access stuff not heard back from see tickets or the fpe email?

people are saying it’s worth it because you get signed memorabilia, but it was literally a tenner to get album signing tickets where you actually meet them
why does 150 not look long..

🤑
War flashbacks from trying to get those tickets

i want to walk right into a tram
in the food court rn i could cry

thanks pookie omw
the only good thing there is tim hortons
I finally figured out how to use local files😭 (now I can spoil the whole concert for me
)
lol
146 days 🎄 jingle balls

guys i’m so ready for my internship
i can’t wait to do music photography
for like
a month straight
i emailed mark in hopes that he’ll respond about this cuz it’ll be HUGE if he does … otherwise i have a backup band that’s willing to let me join them
omg good luck
gl man
jingle balls 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
idk bout mark but i know ao arena is realll tight about letting people photograph, you gotta have like, an internship or something with ao it’s crazy, ive tried before for various artists preforming there
i get you though like no matter how many artists i photograph my DREAMMMM is to just take a singular photo of the pilots like i cry at the thought
yeah i got jj’s contact info out of the managers at ao arena and he directed me to mark about the pass so i thought i might as well ask to do an internship under him lol
my only thing is i’ve got til like the end of february for him to respond so i’m gonna be anxiously waiting LOLOL
so basically for my internship i get to choose a “site” where i wanna work for a month and very obviously i love music photography and wanna tour with a band to see what it’s like
i sent mark the info from last year cuz my teachers were protesting for like 3 weeks so that hasn’t been updated lolol
good luck omg!!
hope everything works out for you!!
yeah i contacted mark during icy tour but unfortunately i didnt hear anything back, i would try again but he’s probably got loads of requests, i hate the staff at ao arena they’re terrifying & im already touring with a smaller hometown band nearer the time of the show so i think im gonna leave it this tour
thank you!! hopefully i get a response, the odds have been in my favour lately and its kinda scary so hopefully i'll score something. i know marks pretty lowkey and chill like that so maybe he'll be interested
100% a busy man, especially with all the shows back to back.. being a band manager myself isn't terrible with the smaller bands i work for currently-- i cant imagine an international superstar band 😭
praying for you! one thing i love abt mark is that he’s always interested about/with the fans, he lovesss making sure we’re involved so you’re right there is a high chance!!
my plan/dream future is to tour with a mediastream band but i know how crazy that can get and how hard it is to get there lols, i think im just fine sticking with the smaller bands for now, you never know they might end up getting somewhere
literally me rn. a band i work for called plant a bug grow a flower has been exploding in the skramz/screamo scene and is growing to really high levels so i'm hoping they manage to do a U.S. tour with a band theyre inspired by called your arms are my cocoon
cuz that means i get to come along 8)
but yaur hopefully something mainstream! i got an offer back in august but i couldnt do the rest of the US tour because i had school at the time :[
thats so cool!!! yh like actual touring like tour busses and your work being on your bands social media is like the big high for me its just seems so so cool, im so happy for you that your bands reaching that level!
rn one of the bands i’m with felon shadows they’re like doing festivals and shit and i just recently had my work on a big uk alt social media page, it’s like crazy to me
THATS SO COOL
i know your arms are my cocoon reposted my stuff a while ago from one of their shows and i was like WHAT
cus they’re one of the biggest skramz bands in america
and i played roblox with the lead singer LMAO
so MAYBE if i can book pabgaf with them
we r gonna be so goated
i bet it’s so cool being a manager like imagine how nice it is seeing your band grow, like booking them to open for bigger bands and knowing you did wow i should’ve gone into that
i think it’s just nice being a part of something and watching it grow not just in popularity but watching them grow as people, like i’m such a nostalgic and sentimental little bastard like even when im just photographing like watching that band go from bigger venue each show is sooo
oh heeeeelll yeah dude
sorry i crashed after i got home from work lmao
don’t apologise i get you!! managing must be tiring lmaoo
i work 3 different jobs and finally have a day off so i can relax
cant wait for clam jam 2

does anyone have any extra hmv signing tickets for manchester or know anyone that has them 😢 i am willing to pay well well above fv
nah sorry man, I'll let you know if I find anyone tho
please do!
does anyone know if there’s resale for hmv or do you have to get it from someone specific?
127 days 

you’ll have to find someone who has spare tickets unfortunately, there never was a resale and the tickets themselves sold out extremely quickly actually
you’re best looking on like twt but you gotta be careful, unfortunately there is a lot of scammers
🦖
thank you sm, let me know if you know anyone with one 😢
idk anyone currently, but if i see anyone mentioning something along the lines i’ll 100% let you know
Im still angry at hmv for how they sold thise
i’m going, and i know quite a few people who are also going, if they’re selling or if they know anyone who is or will sell i’ll also lyk
tysm, i’m looking for manchester mainly but belfast tbh or all of the locations work worst come
if you could ask it would be so much appreciated lol, if anyone has an extra ticket i will literally pay so much more than face value 😭
126 days 🔥
i’m gonna be honest with you, it might be tricky to get a last minute ticket since a lot of people probably won’t be willing to give up a ticket, but there’s always a chance of something coming up and a ticket being available, so don’t stop looking and asking. there’s normally people who stand and say they’ve got an extra ticket (but you gotta be careful with them people) i’d say if still don’t have a ticket by then and you’re desperate, actually go to hmv and see if there’s anyone there who’s selling
of course if i see anything or anyone, ill lyk straight away
🦖
do people typically stand outside of hmv day of?
for signings if they have a ticket i mean LOL
or are trying to sell extra tickets
ik it can be sketchy though
they’ll be queuing, but i’m on about the floggers, the ones who do the same at concerts, stand outside going up and down the queue saying they’ve got a spare ticket. some of them you can trust, some of them you can’t, if that’s your last option i’ll say go for it but you gotta look out. if that doesn’t work, hmv is still open to browse, you could act like you’re buying something and have a glance of tyler and josh but you wouldn’t be able to go near them/talk to them/or get a autograph. i’d say only do that if you cannot manage at all to get a ticket
thanks sm for all your help, ik what you mean it’s hard to trust random ppl in a queue who claim to have a ticket but it’s almost harder over the internet 😭
oh you’re right it’s so hard, you never know who you can and can’t trust, i’d say fight for proof, you should have atleast 4 photos/videos of proof showing that the ticket is legit. if you find someone fight and fight and fight for proof, ask for a 5 minute screen recording of them logging into the app and getting the ticket up no edits 😭😭
thank you again, if you find anyone with a spare manchester or belfast ticket lmk 😭😭
no worries and of course <3

yeah he's definitely opening
nice
figuring out what songs to cover at a show soon, never realised teaching merchant ships songs to friends would be so hard LMAO
Hey super random but I am debating accommodation for the concert or whether to get the train back home anyone have any idea what time the concerts usually finish?? as last train back home leaves Manchester Victoria at 10:30 :/
I haven't been to a concert in years so I haven't a clue
i’d say about that time yeah 10:30 -10:45
they’ve usually always come on around 8:45pm our time, it’s about 1hour50min show sometimes up to 2hours depending on if they talk
Thank you!! :))

80 days TODAY IS THE BANDS BIGGEST HEADLINING SHOW OF THEIR CAREER

🎉🎉🎉

if they play the line tonight i’ll give you each of you here £3 and a bag of wotsits
£3 only simply because i’m broke
deadass? fuck the 3 quid js gimme the wotsits 🙏
Frrrr😭
i got a fucking mega pack 😭 wotsits to fill a whole god damn country
🤤
was just walking in the city centre and some advertising people gave me a pack
bigger than my head i swear
manchester is full of wonders
How does ts happen to u, I need that in my life man
YOUR PFP HELPP
My wotsit personality be returning
for free aswell?
oh my god
YES 😭😭
they were just advertising wotsits for some bloody reason
nothing special abt me, just your average day in manchester
in yr8 I used to have a fucking wotsit cult and we'd go out to the field and plant wotsits in the grass
i bloody love the city centre you never know what’s waiting for you
what a legend
type shit
should i trade wotsits packets alongside my bracelets at the show
the multipacks that big is probably still have thousands left by the time the shoe comes around 😭
thousands???
hell yeah
when i tell you it’s a big ass bag…
honestly it doesn’t even fit in my tote bag i’m literally CRADLING it in my arms everyone on the 163 is giving me looks 💀
not the weirdest thing to happen on the 163
Bro I need a pic 😭🙏🙏
they jealous
i would so send you a pic if i wasn’t on my commute right now 😭
they can cope with the wotsits bag i don’t think they’d survive if i just whip out and just start taking photos of it
takes up a whole BUS SEAT
the foretold wotsit son has arrived and he[?] shall save us from the problems of the world
Lmfao
i bloody love wotsits
me too mate, me too
i love being british because wdym no other country has wotsits
me when I go abroad and the country aint selling wotsits

made an emoji
HELPPP
ts shit serious
Yikes 😔
should i dress up as a wotsit bag for the show
can we petition for them to add ts to official server emojis here
y e s
I would in general tbh
PLEASEEEE
We may only get like 3-4 ppl tho :(
ong what if i just rock up to work dressed as a wotsit grab bag
where do I ask 🙏
I would do that tbh😭
only if you want a line of people asking to marry you or smth
i’d so get promoted
wotsits could hire u as a mascot too, infinite free wotsits will come with the job I'd reckon
RIGHT
i should work for them
be there social media promoter
i’m pretty much doing that anyway going from bus to bus with a massive bag of wotsits in my arms

is this wotsits baptism
so real
us gng
hi guys if anyone has or knows anyone with an extra manchester hmv signing ticket they’d be willing to sell please dm me <3
^^ me as well, we are both looking for the two of us!!
COUGH UP
They really removed the old song medley for it 😞
y'all im getting worried for the europe setlist 😭
i cant handle no oldies station, no fake you out, no old song medley 😭
So we’ve had fake you out, oldies station and now the old song medley removed😭
You know I do
huh??
No fair man
hopefully they keep it for europe but i’m not
holding out any hope
if i’ve spent £360 on the tickets, £120 on fpe, £65 on an outfit and around £160-170 in the past 9 months on bracelet beads/accessories just for them NOT to play old song medley AND oldies station?? my three favourite songs and they’re not playing them??? i might just have to beat them up on their own stage with tyler’s own piano
this is relatable 😭

Idk if I should get new merch for the show. I only got a Trench hoodie and a SAI hoodie
maybe ill get a bandana and some tape
in all honestly i will genuinely be so upset if they don’t play oldies
old song medley i don’t really care, i mean yeah ive been in the fandom for 10 years and i would LOVE to hear their older songs live but for some reason oldies i just more important to me
i literally have that one god damn tattoo
Do any of you know if I need some sort of id to prove my age since I'm going on my own
For the venue I mean
I went to the venue before and didn’t need any ID on door, it’s always good to have it if you’re going to buy drinks (alcohol) at the venue though invade staff aren’t sure of your age
Ok thanks 🙂
no worries!!

hi! i'm just looking to get some advice; this concert will be my first ever one and i've bought pit tickets (admittedly, it was not thought through very well 😅). i have no idea what i'm doing and i'd just like some advice on when/where to queue for the show to get somewhat close to the main stage (or if there's a better place to be in the pit). i have heard things about the wristband system but i'm not sure if that will be implemented for this show, and if it is, i don't know how to go about being one of the first 500. i know this is just word vomit but i'm really anxious about the concert and honestly ill take any help i can get 😅
This is my first one too and me and my mum got seats so I don't really know anything about the pit, but what I do know is that the first 500 ppl thing isn't being used because the fpe here was paid
So once we get the first couple shows it will give us answers on how the wristband system will be implemented if at all. If it is expect people to start a fan line the night prior or early in the morning before 8am the wristband system if the same just guarantees you entry first and allows you to leave and come back to the venue later
There are tons of places to be once inside the venue there are Josh and Tyler B stages and front barricade if you are wanting these I'd recommend keeping an eye out to see if any lines have been started and join them when you can generally if you are in the first 400 of that wristband line you should be golden and have a good view as the main barricade is about 100 (give or take) people across and most tend to pile up around middle barricade
Fpe and wristbands were two different things specifically in the us leg those who had a wristband and fpe had plenty of time between to do both and would essentially work as a placeholder as long as you were back before they checked tickets in the wristband line fpe was around 2pm and would finish around 4/5pm at the latest and the wristband line you had to be in line by 4pm-ish so they could have everyone ready to go when they were ready to start Letting people in
ah okay, this makes so much sense. thank you so much for clearing this up. essentially we have to wait till the first show on may 5th to have an idea of what UK queuing will be like?
also, do you have any idea whereabouts the lines will be formed? i've never been to AO arena before, from some googling i found that there's three entrances and that the city room entrance (?) is the best to use to access unreserved standing. i assume this is where the line will be formed but please correct me if i'm wrong
I have no clue I'm not local about where a que would start it will usually be posted on social media when someone starts it, usually the first show of the leg starts off how the rest of the tour will go in regards to wristbands so I'd be also looking at the Germany shows since they are the first of the Europe leg
Usually ques are off property to avoid issues with venue but people who often start and run the line will work with the venue on where they can and can't be so the line can be honored when it comes to it there's also the chance they might not honor the line it depends we will have to wait to see how the Europe leg starts off and it sets the tone it was the same for the us leg and LATAM leg it gave everyone a general idea on how it's done
oh okay cool, ill keep my eye out. i heard some things about venues not honouring fan lines, and providing tickets to people that begin queuing after 8 am/ according to the venues rules. the queuing details are quite vague on AO so shall i just start queuing early morning and hope for the best?
i'm sorry i'm asking so many questions btw, i just want things to go smoothly 😅
No worries again it just depends on tøp security and venue security on how they plan on running it
okay!! thank you so much for your time :)
In the us a lot of the venue's were originally allowing fan lines though not officially as they couldnt say yes venue security had said yes to the fan lines being honored before tøp security showed the morning in most us shows when tøp security showed up they said nope and made a new line wherever they wanted it (it also caused a lot of issues but that's not important) and that varied show to show LATAM leg almost all fan lines were honoured and I can't remember the aus/NZ but I believe most got honoured too if I remember correctly
oh okay that's good to hear. so where abouts should i look to see who/where the fan line has started? i'm not really active on clikkie social media and i don't follow many UK based fans. i honestly don't know any fans irl apart from my bf lol
You'll likely see it on twitter idk if any GC are made yet but they usually start popping up within two weeks before the show at a minimum or see it shared on here as a way for word of mouth but if you do show up morning of assume the line you do see is the fan line the # is ClancyManchester I believe I usually just search the # and find out if there's any info regarding it sometimes you might find info on instagram too everyone tends to use the # as a tagging system for each show for insta you can also use the location tag option to search as well
okay!! thank you again, youve been a life saver
i don't really use twitter tbh but ill check it out, thanks :)
No worries I've been in this position too as Clancy tour has been my first tour seeing tøp despite being a fan since like 2017 and I had no idea what I was doing so I just payed attention to everything on socials and picked up on it
I know there's also the WhatsApp uk group but it's not much atm
yeah it's honestly quite overwhelming. it was 10 years last year that i became a fan and the opportunity to finally see them irl is surreal lol
Honestly once its all said and done and your in the venue nothing matters anymore besides enjoying the show they've definitely evolved the show to make it better for everyone wristband or no wristband seated or pit so no matter what it will be a good show
that's very very true. i'm honestly quite anxious for it as i'm not the greatest around lots of people but i thought screw it and bought pit tickets for the exposure therapy 😅. i am genuinely looking forward to it though, it's literally 9 days after my final university exam so it'll be a nice thing to end my academic journey on :)
I've never done pit before either like this and it's been amazing thus far also yay it'll be a nice celebration for you
well i hope everything from now on stays amazing for youu :)
aus shows fan lines were all honored - cant speak for NZ, but the lines were done well, line leaders were all communicating with venue security which really helped, and made it much easier for us to ensure that the lines worked.
Last time I was at AO the venue vaguely honored fan lines until security, so fingers crossed they do the same, havent come over for a while
It’s been so long…
Hah… FNAF….
I’m starting to figure out what to pack for my travels to the UK. Anyone want food or snacks from the US?
Yeah that checks every line leader has always communicated with venue it's always just been tøp security this tour changing things last second
I can only attest for Aus, and we did good TØP security didn't get involved much tbh, they just stepped back and let venue deal
I was there for Mexico city and Guadalajara venue and fans basically ran it Sax just sat back and took videos as we were getting wristbands I think after the gongshow that was the us leg
A lot of the LATAM leg went smoothly besides the first two I think
backslide, jumpsuit, midwest, fall away (praying for this), stressed out with the metal ending, guns for hands, my blood
basically the whole show tbh
i just hope we get the old song medley and maybe a setlist change
PRAYING FOR FALL AWAY TOO
YESSSS ME TOO
I’m gonna cry so hard during my blood
Hopefully we get oldies station too
my blood is one of my favourite top songs so
hopefully
(Please start playing fake you out again)
i honestly don’t care if they take off the line i want the old song medley 😭
and slowtown (i’m delusional)
Sameeee it carried me through so much during quarantine I gotta hear it at least once
yessss
LMAOO make a sign asking for it, better chances than none

i have a feeling they’ll add some special songs since their last european tour was a while ago
hopefully
hopefully !!! I’d also love to hear the outside since I missed the SAI tour they did 😞
The background visuals I’ve seen for that tour are so beautiful
I bet the Clancy ones are just as good but MAN that looks like a time to be alive
Does anyone know if crowd surfing is allowed at AO??? My school blocked the website for the venue for some reason and I wanted to crowd surf during a few songs
do u mean like tyler standing in the crowd
and the drum island
or audience surfing
Audience surfing
idk tbh i doubt it
Oooh hm
Boston is so different with the music scene every where else so I def wanna ask security once im there LOL
Cuz I’ll crowd surf at a 500cap venue here but if I go out to Philly it’s not allowed 💔
Yes LOL
navigating!! favourite of the album :)
NAVIGATING IS SO GOOD
i love singing along to it driving alone
Ride will be absolutely surreal for me because it has been my favorite song since it released and it's personally the first time seeing them live
But I'm excited for guns for hands too
Ride was my favourite off of bf growing up before I really dived into their discography !! That’s so awesome to hear! It’ll both be our first times so this’ll be awesome
Do u think they will find someone in the crowd to sing with them LOL
Oh fr?
Yez
Yesss

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER 🎉
