HEY
HELLO
BIRMINGHAM MENTIONED
HELLO
HELLO!
How’s getting tickets these days? Last time I went was back in 2015/2016 and I was able to get standing resale for like £40 two weeks before O_O
How the times change
honestly tickets aren't terrible still especially for the larger arenas but presale is definitely the best idea
How much does everyone reckon presale will be?
i think it’d be around £70 for standing at least
Yeah it shouldn’t be too bad. The US venue prices sound insane though
HELLO
hello umm how early do you need to be to a show
ive never been to a single concert 💀 but i dont wannt miss this
Last time I saw them was in brum but it was at the o2 academy 😳
You’re not gonna miss a show by showing up a little later than 5 days early lol
I’ll be going early af day of maybe “camping” from late the night before
Although I ended up missing the opener by being right on time last time I saw them, biggest queue I’ve ever seen
Depends how close you wanna be
Idk what resorts worlds policy is on “camping”
You’re gonna get a great show no matter where you are
I feel UK venues are a little stricter than American ones
Fr??? That’s a tiny venue for them now haha
Yeah and then the institute the year before that 😭😅
Going from a 1500 capacity venue to a 15000 is insane
I was at the institute this month, that must've been insane
Literally Tyler was on the balcony directly above my head during Car Radio I cried
Been trying to dig up my old hard drives and find the videos I took at that show
I’ve got one from 2016 but not the 2015 shows
Resorts world tend to be very okay with people hanging around overnight
I once fell asleep on a piano at insomnia game fest and they were fully okay with it
I'm planning on camping out from the morning
Might to a scope out the night before and see if anyone is there and if not just go v early in the morning
I’m gonna have to make line friends to hold my spot because at some point I will surely need to piss
would people reccomend getting pit tickets or seats?
Terrible video quality since I filmed it on my iPod lol. Only time I’ve ever seen them live at the institute in 2015 🥲
Terrible quality WHERE?
Omg we were at the same show
I was in the pit directly below losing my mind
Haha mad that! I was probably a couple rows from the front on the right hand side ish so not far from where you were probably
Me and my friend sat outside from 10am. Worth it but I’m not doing that again, I’m too old lol 😅
I was still in high school at the time so I’m pretty sure I rocked up at like 6:30 and still got a great view (but the institute is pretty great for that anyway)
It was in November wasnt it? Must have been freezing now that’s dedication 😂
Yeah it was November, at it was kinda raining that day. Some regrets were had. We skipped school to go.
Now I’d probably turn up like an hour or hour and a half before and call it a day
Lmao this time I’m waiting all day I wanna be reasonably close to the front
When it’s seats idgaf but pit is a different beast
Lol @ someone holding a phone and like the biggest iPad I’ve ever seen
resorts world posts the price range!! ill get a screen shot give me a minute
thats from the resorts world arena website
cheers, just checked it out
:))
Well. It’s under £100 I guess 
is there a reason the ticketmaster presale starts on wednesday and the ticket factory presale starts on thursday? they’re both viable options right?
It's probably because it's a venue presale not the artist presale but still a viable option
thank you, i’ve only ever used ticketmaster so at least there’s an alternative
The wednesday presale is artist presale
The Thursday presale is likely venue sanctioned
There's also stuff like O2 priority etc that get early access to ticket sales but I'm not sure when that is either
Ah those were simpler times😂
I recall ticket factory being quite good for shows in Birmingham. I’ve used them before and it’s been decent
Yeah they are quite good but I've never done a presale on them I don't think
i did presale on ticketfactory for melanie martinez and it went really smoothly:)
after seeing the american clique go through it with ticketmaster today, i’m glad there’s an alternative
Frfr
Codes are outtt
CODES RECEIVED
CODE ACQUIRED! Exciting!! So ready to see them close to home again!
I DO in fact, believe the Hype sorry Tyler
Popped in here to see if anyone had an idea for prices and thank hell this is a reassuring price to see
It's gonna be my first time at a top thing and birm's the one we're trying to aim for
Heard the horror stories of us prices and platonic partner was worried their family wouldn't be able to afford it, we're relying on their mum to book since I'm in work while them and their gf are likely gonna be asleep.
Yeah it’s good we’ve got the brum prices listed
And there’s ticket factory presale too
Even if u don't manage to get them on presale majority of the shows I've been to release some tickets like a week before the show of the restricted view seats
the qpp in question is here
Oh hey heyo
Speak of the devil and they shall arrive
But yeah, I think having a space like this is very reassuring as a rookie who's only ever been to one other gig {was AJR OK Overture 2022, snagged tickets for 32 quid each bc Spotify decided I needed to know they'd be nearby}
was at a bandito birmingham show and a london O2 arena SAI show so i've got a bit more experience
but yknow
highly susceptible to anxiety
Yeah you nearly shat yourself over hyperia at Thorpe mate
ackshually i kept completely calm and composed
And that was fighting against thoosies, this is like fighting against the raging tsunami that is the sheer willpower of a feral and deprived clique
real, i didnt get birmingham tickets for bandito but i managed manchester. praying i get birmingham this time as its a lot closer than manny 😭
very anxious about the sale even tho ive managed to get tickets to every show ive wanted to go to recently 😭
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
They’re playing very few England shows so yeah I am really hoping i get tix
I'm hoping it should be better than last time cause there's bigger cap venues
yeah, resorts world is very big so hopefully we can get tickets 😭 pretty sure when it was bandito they played the NIA which is smaller
I gotta pay for my mum her bf and a friend who’s going with me I might go into debt looking at the prices 💀💀
They’re paying me back but I’m the only one that has preorder code lol
I'm pretty sure resorts world is actually smaller than arena Birmingham by like 200 or so 😭
is it actually???
oh damn it actually is, i always thought it was bigger!
i havent been to resorts world since it was well known as the NEC so my knowledge is limited it seems 😭
I only went like last year or so 😭
Last time I went before it was still the LG arena
It's a nice venue tho I went to the 1975 there and even with it sold out they handled the crowds better than Wembley arena did for top last time
same on birm being closer
if we don't get bham tix we're gonna aim for london
Actually not gonna be able to sleep cause of presale lol
the venues a short train ride away from me so im prayingg for birmingham as i dont want to travel all the way to Manchester again 😭
tbf i was 15 when the bandito tour happened so my nan had to take me in the car, i could deffo get a train to Manchester now but i’d rather not :D
I've never been to mancchester at all
i saw $b in manchester and i dont want to go there again it was an awful experience
I've never been to Manchester but somehow been to Huddersfield lmao
and the largest train journey I've made has atm been reading to swindon?
I'm bucks myself so technically London's easier for me but I'd rather go Brum bc I
im in walsall so birmingham is really easy for me, my longest train has deffo been manchester, went from lichfield, through rugeley and crewe and it was just so LONGGG
I am very new to this and travelling on my own when it's not either that or Reading to Sttaines is anxiey inducing to my autistic little brain
dont want to do it again
Do all the codes start with TOP or was I lucky lol
I think they all do
think soo, mine did too
Dangggg
if its any help i can meet you in brum so its not as scary :) i get you completely with the anxiety regarding travelling, im the same with my autism !
It's the last part of it is different
theres a train station right at the venue so you wont get lost or anything, just navigating new street is quite hard when you arent used to it, i still get lost there 😭
I'm going w/ Kitzel and their fam anyways but thanks for the offer rregardless mate
no worries!
Honestly II'm just excited to even be able to
Been waiting to see what a tour gig's like ever since I got pulled into the deep end w/ TOP around this time in 2022?
Was dripfed a little when SAI released bc Kit sent me the link while I was going through a rough patch friend-wise in yr 11, started to look into the others during may halfterm out of curiosity.
Then slipped on the side of the pool, fell in, and here we are 3 hoodies, 2 shirts and a whole load of cds later!

today is the day
Good luck everyone 🫡🫡🫡
Good luck 😭
Good luck 🫠
30 minutes to go!
May the odds be in everyone's favour
im sat in the waiting room rn im terrified
Same 😭
sameee
I didn't even know there was a waiting room until I opened it in another tab 💀
Good luck y’all I’m so stress rn 🫡🫡🫡
7 minutes left…..
Right? 😭
7 minutes left it's so vague
yeah that will happen even if its less than a minute 😭
no same 😭
pretty sure it was 1 minute left the entire minute when i got taylor swift tickets
Yeah it'll show something like <1 minute left its so annoying 😭
yeah why no seconds! would be nice if concert tickets were less stressful 😅
I feel more stressed about this than when I did my first a level exam 💀
praying i have a good place in the queue, with taylor i was like 3000 and got my tickets within 10 mins max
I'd better be in a good place, I had to reset my account password when I realised I needed to sign in
Yeah I didn't realise it was a waiting room for the queue so only joined 10 mins ago 😖
i had the app open all morning and there was no option to join the waiting room until i tried the website 😭
its okay i joined when it had like 10 mins as well 😭
idk which is better
Time to lock in 🫡
good luck everyone
There’s a queue already?
ive just woke up im too disoriented to do this but my power will work well
good luck im shitting myself 💀
ahhhh
good luck 🫡
Ty im in
my screen better auto refresh bc it didnt for taylor and it was so stressful
yeah the "auto refresh" is so buggy
🙏🙏🙏🙏
did it refresh for u
...is it supposed to refresh
NO
nop
no*
no auto refresh?
joining om my laptop insyead
do we refresh it or..?
IN!
what place are you guys
1700 ahead of me
64
LETS GOOOOO
raaaaaaaaa
Oh god
800 😭
i can do this
COME ONNNN
691 currently
Oh it's moving quick!
85
wait there is no option for me to buy anything?
it cant find any tickets???
Don't even
its like a loading sign by the album presale?
dude what
this apparently happened for some of the EU dates
might need to refresh
WHAT IS HAPPENING
nah im on pc
thats the only thing there is for me?
THE QUEUE IS MOVING SO SLOW FOR ME PLS
same
yeah same now
it’s just loading
420
probably everyone trying to figure out where the tickets are xD
Yeah its not working
this happened with melanie martinez too i was enraged and had to use ticketfactory 😭
what do we do
im on PC though and its happening so idk
saw a bunch of EU people just refresh to get the tickets to show up
I'm on PC and it's worked for me
even if i refresh it doesnt come up
brooo
we just wait?
GOT EMMMM 🫡
gl on the hell queue gamers
do i try on another browser??
HELP FOR SOME REASON IT THINKS I WAS ON MY LAPTOP AND KICKED ME OUT THE QUEUE
NOW IM AT 1300 AHEAD OF ME
queue is moving pretty quick rn you should be good
praying
ah it logged me out!!
i refreshed and it’s still loading
I went on my laptop 1300 in queue
I had some and now gone
Its joever
1200 in queue
what good is telling me the presale is happening now if i can’t get in
i just tried on another browser and it hasnt moved from 1300 😭
112 ahead
did now
aaaaaaaa
im on 900 now its deffo moving
I'm back in queue to try and get another ticket on a different card and it's moving for me
This is a cruel form of torture
do i wait or rejoin the queue
900 it is moving
bro
one
i’m going to try the app maybe
if it makes you guys feel any better, i had to go back in the queue three times to get my taylor swift tickets and i got them all so you’ll be fine 🤞🏻
dont try the app
app is useless, will do the same
the app is done for
I GOT THEMMM
you need a browser
im so confused where did we have to put in our presale access code?
laptop usually works better
Ticketmaster should be destroyed entirely
Yeah the app is cooked, website on a PC is the best option
Too real
I'm personally hoping that once the partner wakes up we do get positive news that the tickets have been snagged
Still 660 in queue
sooo the anxiety is fuckin' reaaaall
it’s just like this and my only option is mobile
I was like 175 in queue I got so lucky
i’ve refreshed twice now, still nothing :(
same ._.
Im gonna get there and there wont be any tickets left watch
And I gotta do this all on laptop not mobile i hate laptop lmao
No standing seats?
80 ahead
731
Keeps saying all standing seats cannot be found
what!
I'd say no use in catastrophising this early in the rat race, but then again this is Clancy there is absolutely reason to start catastrophiising in the rat race
This is my 13th reason why
did u guys have to input ur presale access code?
Yeah I think standing might be gone from this presale
Already moved round to block 12 seats, 5 minutes ago it was block 6
Yes
where?
After the queue
You use it to unlock tickets after the queue
UGH ITS NOT WORKING ON MY LAPTOP EITHER
It'll say unlock
Yeahhh standings out
pls
Refresh the page?
mine just says that ^^
nothings happening 😩
ITS DOING THE SAME THING
LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!
IT CANT FIND TICKETS
shiiit
Shit
GGs were cooked 🫡
Keep refreshing peoples might not go through
i hate this
Yeah that's standing
Its over
signing up for ticket factory presale rn 😭
just keep trying peoples tickets might not get confirmed
second time lucky
I did it on mobile and laptop and both arent working
I managed to get through but my dad's was doing the circle it's so dunb
And O2 priority can't handle anything anymore
trying again on my ipad
i’m out of the queue a second time and it’s just spinning again
I've got my own ticket anyway so I'll leave standing tickets up to anyone else if they come up and just try and get a 2nd ticket in general sale
same
ticketfactory is so much easier
Also £87 each oml
There's a live nation one too
Isn't there a second presale on ticketmaster tomorrow too?
I didn't even look at the price I just got whichever 💀
same 💀
It started asking for the card reader 💀
I knew that would happen so I had it with me
ITS NOT HERE ON MY IPAD EITHER
it's only a small amount of tickets ye
still spinning
WE HAVE A CONFIRM, WE WERE LUCKY BASTARDS AND SNAGGED EM
so i’m not in the queue or the presale but a secret third thing
ticketmaster purgatory
additionally, consolation for this hellish mess.
I Provide silly badge, because humour is timeless and tours are stressful
I’m not surviving, it’s joever
Ticketmaster dumb it didn't let me in the queue I refreshed like a billion times
everything is just this now:
I would have sat there waiting if my dad didn't call me from work to help 😭
oooff
fuckk
anyone know if they offer seat changes before they go on general sale?
I know they used to but idk if they're gonna do that this time
My mum is gutted. Ticketmaster better apologise to my mum right now
guess we gonna wait till general sale 😭
three times in the mobile browser queue, once in the app queue, and it just keeps spinning
I think its too late
^^
theres no tickets left for anything i dont think
Crazy how I got in immediately on mobile and it just wouldnt work
Maybe if I did it on laptop first
Oh well
there's another presale tomorrow on Ticket Factory
https://www.theticketfactory.com/tickets/events/twenty-one-pilots-tickets/
nah that was the same for me but on laptop
same time
christ on a bloody bike,in onoly 20m inutes too
Yeah I signed up
then if you miss that then general sale will also have thousands of tickets available
don't lose hope!
There's a live nation one too
this is about the same intensity of "what the fuck" as when the disabled access system at Alton/Thhorpe/ that lot went up.
too late i have lost all hope
Bruh this is happening to the #175th most streamed artist imagine how it is for Taylor Swift damn
and that booking system was a genuine nightmare
tbh id check in a few hours as well, i was hella late to the presale for The 1975 and there were still some tickets left after a few hours/in the afternoon that had been put back on sale
Would not be surprised if they added more dates for the UK tbh
mmm
I’m gonna be refreshing all day, there’s still some tickets in the platinum ticket section
We do have over a whole ass year to keep trying to get tickets so Im not too worried
They usually release a few occasionally before the show
When production gets confirmed
yeah there will inevitably be extras they didn't sell before the show
resale
the odd person who can't go and will sell for cheap etc
With the 1975 there was loads of restricted view seats like a few weeks before
Same this happened w Wembley
I have to find 4 tickets, pain
Can artists just stop using ticketmaster pls
god forbid someone wants physical proof of access to take to the place
rather than relying on their silly device that could piss and die at any unsuspecting moment
ticketfactory i have one thing to say to you for tomorrow… you better work bitch
i was debating on getting the platinum ticket thing but it only had seated left and was £315 for two tickets 😭 i decided to let them go and wait 😞
does it even say what that includes?
fuckin' hehll
so the ticket link in the presale email works but only through my email app, when i open it in a browser it doesn’t work
i cant find what it includes anywhere
but even then it says there’s nothing
why run a service that doesn’t work i hate it
Ticketmaster says plat tickets are usually closer to the artist
do u think any tickets on ticketmaster will come avaialble during the day or not very likely?
platinum is offering me block 11 which is almost at the back of the venue
the odd few tickets will pop up yeah
i had some in block 14 row e but it was £315 and didnt want to spend that much
for those that are interested
resortsworld has a membership club ran by ticketfactory that you can buy a membership to for £40 that gives you access to presale tomorrow 15 minutes early
Wow that's more that what 4 tix cost me 💀
where do i find this
just found it i think https://www.resortsworldarena.co.uk/superfans-fan-club/
ye that
thank you 😝
I was stuck on the circle loading thing since 10 am after trying my iphone and Mac and two different mobile networks. I can say the only thing that worked was opening Ticketmaster through the twenty one pilots email and using my mobile browser to see any tickets
Heads up! If you're O2 priority it seems to send you through to a ticketfactory presale
yeah thats what i did too, opening it via the email and it worked fairly smoothly for me
anyone who has signed up to ticket factory presale for tomorrow, did you get any kind of confirmation email?
i signed up and it just says i’ll hear from them soon
nope
LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!
would it be totally crazy if i bought pit tickets for belfast 😭
they seem like the only show rn on ticketmaster that has pit tickets left
There’s still pit available for London nights
not showing up for me
yeah none left
Big sadge
Got O2 priority tickets!! 3 Acquired! Will be praying for people still lo
looking* !
Mm
Gl to everyone on getting tickets, if you do then see you there for hype and a game of top trumps, and if you dont then I bloody feel for you big time
i’m pinning everything on ticket factory tomorrow
gonna see what's still available on O2 priority rn if my mom will give me her password 😅
this has to work 🕯️
good luck to the rest of yous still trying 🫡
ø7
Don't give up 🫡🫡
I will be there at like 7am
any chance people will be making bracelets?
Hell yeah
great 😁
People make bracelet?
even seated?
Christ I'm gonna learn a lot about clique bonding culture from this tour it seems
definitely
There are loads of tickets still available on O2 priority too (available for O2 customers and virgin media customers)
Standing still available too
oh i couldnt find any standing?
im sat
will people still have bracelets up in the seated sections
Ayy seat gang
Seated gang frr
Seated gang!!
Idk if we'll have anything to hand out, but there's a decent chance we might have themed worm keyrings?
Me and Kitzel do it a lot for theme parks where we'll bring a load of worm on a string keyrinfs based on rides to give to staff qnd guests, and I vaguely remember em wanting to do some top and ajr ones at some point
So if you come Birm, you may obtain a Clancy worm
Even if you don't, they'll likely still sell em on shopify
Worms for the masses innit
im gonna keep looking throughout the day, new seated tickets have came on for birmingham since
OMG OMG OMG OMG I GOT TICKETS finalyy
AYYY
i had so many comp problems and was watchin tickets for london disappear as i was tryin to click them. but got birmingham finally
now gonna have a break down
arghh
managed to get better tickets on O2 priority and get my standing ticket too
already listed 5 seated tickets for resale on ticketmaster so they might pop up
i had luck with ovo but then had cc problems and timed out and by the time i got it sorted glasgow was gone
damn that sucks
anyone know any hotels in nearby thats the next pain for me
what tickets did u get in the end aeth?
I got 5 seated tickets in block 16 row T
and got myself a standing one cuz my family don't want to be in the pit 
also resorts world itself is a hotel
and there's also a bunch of hotels at the airport that's connected to the venue
There's a monorail from the airport to the train station which you can then walk through to get to the arena
i got blk 10 i believe row YA i dont know if thats good or bad but i cant wait
It's one of the few very well connected things in Birmingham
that sounds great, im gonna have a 13 yr old in tow so need to plan this now
Yeah it's very well connected around there
Airport is linked to the convention centre which is linked to resorts world which is around the corner from the arena
i will b coming by train or at the worst by car
I will be coming by car 😭😭 rip parking prices
I Need to book parking yay more money for them to take 😜💀
not sure about driving in birmingham as last time i got blocked on a slip road and had to hard break cos they were not gonna let me out
Can you pre book parking?
driving in birmingham is not fun at all
DW it’s not in Birmingham itself!!!
Yeah
The NEC is super easy to get to actually
It's like £13 at resorts world
Damnnnn I’ll get on that
oooo if anyone gets a link can they post it please
tbf ye driving to the NEC and getting a train are both really easy cuz everything is so connected there
If it was arena Birmingham that's worse to get to
Even when u live like 10 mins away getting parking there is just grim
my boyfriend woke up and got our tickets through o2 priority i think
with ticket protection
block 7 so i’m still going to try tomorrow and friday if need be for better seats
I feel like w resorts world even if u are further back it's still a good view
good luck to everyone! i feel silly for how anxious i was but that’s how it goes aksjd
yeah the arena is actually pretty small all things considered
don't feel bad if you get "bad" tickets at all
this is the seating layout for those that are interested btw
i was near at the back for bandito and takeover in wembley so i feel like this will be better?
I wanna go to pit after the show and grab some confetti, I wonder how much u can get in a bag the size of an a4 sheet
quite a lot
people always tend to hang out after the show doing the same thing too
they let me into the pit for takeover to get confetti but not at bandito ;-;
hallway confetti was the best i could do
Hopefully it makes it's way all around the arena
I didn't get any in takeover Wembley 😭
wonder what color the confetti is going to be this time
For these prices it should be gold plated fr
tasty
Golden ticket confetti, find the golden ticket and you get put into a raffle to take Nico home with you
I'm still convinced the price increase is because of the level of production they're doing this time around
well yeah
lots of venues trying to make up losses from covid times
But if it's £35 a T-shirt I'm gonna throw some hands
I'll still buy it but like
Metaphorically
Throw hands
i will have to make sure my cc is cleared down again jsut for merch
and its poop but i cant book parking there yet as it only goes up to a year in advance
gonna do a hotel search in a bit
might put a calander reminder on my phone which just say top parking lol
Actually so smart
im still shaking lol and my neck is sore from hunching
praying i get tickets in the ticketfactory sale tomorrow
fingers crossed for you this is gonna b epic
are you going for standing tickets?
gonna try to, i have early access to presale so im hoping for the best
i see my qpp has been talking abt my keyrings
yeah i can probably do some clancy worms based on like. the album cover
n do some for the other albums to throw on the shop
i have an old ned keyring design from when we were starting out with em i kinda want to redraw
best of luck man
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
Oh yeah you'll get that easy if you got the early access 
Bag of worms on a string
Hand them out like candy
i do that at theme parks so pretty much
even have an example of one
tho this one's for a rollercoaster
shrink plastic n stuff so quite sturdy
Yoooooooo that’s sick
manifesting !!
im gonna keep going on ticketmaster and looking throughout the day as i saw theyre putting out random seated tickets
but if not i’ll do ticketfactory tomorrow
There was still standing tickets available on Three+ and O2 priority I think so if they don't sell they might add those to ticketmaster
if i cant get standing i will settle for seated but im not paying the prices of platinum tickets no way
finally got a look at le receipt
me n spirit are block 7
This is gonna b my view lol
ticketmaster is rubbing it in my face 😭
They might do a B Stage again this time around so never feel bad about your view or whatnot
yes i do, how about you drop the prices of the platinum tickets x
LMFAO
they have a strict no crowd surfing policy, i hope that doesnt count for acts as well
lol Tyler gives no fucks about the rules
He'll have to go stand in the naughty corner
they'll shut the show down like they did when he climbed the rafters after being told specifically not to
i want to run around my house like a dog with zoomies and scream eeekkk
I'm so tired I haven't processed it yet 😭💀
I would have gone straight back to sleep but I had to go out straight after
do i get seated tickets instead so i definitely can go?
block 9 has some in section YS and idk whether to get them or not
theyre £76 each
if there's some still available on ticketmaster you can always resell them easily on there
true
9 ys looks like spitting distance from my seats lol
is gonna b a hell of show
so which direction will everyone b traveling from? im coming from east
that's so cool! id love to see them
I live in Birmingham city centre so it's not too far for me 😅
are you a proper brum?
will be coming from the North, i live in stoke 🫠
i did it
im in suffolk
im in walsall! not far from me hahaha
one of us one of us
sad that i didnt get standing but at least im there HAHA
Brum ganggg
same! im a bit north from the venue
we will all b standing, seats are for you bag and coat lol
Yup
real
The one thing I love about resorts world is they have vending machines so u get bottles with caps so u can just put it on ur seat while u dance and don't have to worry about it being spilt
It did take me an embarrassing 5 mins or so to figure out how to use the vending machine but worth it
i will bring drinks bottles with me and refill with water
its cashless as well isnt it?
i went to see hozier in December and thats what i did
Yh
yippee!!
resorts world itself and the NEC nearby also have a bunch of food/drink places
They let us take reusable water bottles for the 1975 but I forgot mine 💀💀
also if we're stating where we're coming from
all ur getting from me is I'm a little wiltshire guy
need to plan my outfit im gonna drive the kids mad for the next 389 days
call me jade goody but wheres wiltshire
nvm i googled it

Don’t share your order no. Just in case!!!
oh yes tyty
Bro didn't know wiltshire
tbf
i didn't know where walsall was
HELP
nobody does tbf
its like those random places around birmingham that nobody is aware of so you have to say “oh yeah im a brummie”
most ppl know my town when u say it by name
shithole with way too many roundabouts
this is screaming milton keynes
I went to school in Walsall it's definitely one of the more unknown areas
||nah, swindon||
yeah no one knows it 😭 i went to school in cheslyn hay which is even more unknown
like, if someone asks where im from, i say birmingham, if they ask where i went to school i say wolverhampton bc its just easier
What actually counts as Birmingham is confusing I remember in school once there was a whole class wide argument if west Bromwich counts as Birmingham
imo if its a birmingham postcode its birmingham
Yh that's how I think about it
my town is right in the middle between Birmingham and Manchester so whenever anyone asks me where I'm from and don't know stoke I say "oh yeah it's between Manchester and brum"
ik walsall isn’t birmingham but its not a city either so its a bit ?? especially considering we put walsall as our city on mail etc
either that or "I live close to alton towers" lmao
i love alton towers, havent been in so long tho especially as theyve changed the rap stuff now its a bit 🫠
very upsetting how i have a nimbus rap card however i havent been to activate it so i cant prebook !
getting to the stage where we're going to need to do what London did and have "London" and "Greater London"
One thing that mildly annoys me is IKEA Birmingham isn't really in Birmingham
good ol Wednesbury
It's got a Walsall postcode
i feel like the birmingham west mids area is such a vague place
like you have solihull and then wednesbury and then walsall and then oldbury and dudley and somehow everyone plonks them together into birmingham
Yh
Anything past the West brom stadium is sandwell to me
Even though technically they are still on a brum postcode
and a lot of places with a wolverhampton post code is still considered birmingham to a lot of people so its all so confusing
i work in stoke so i feel this
alton towers mention 👀
pls i havent been since 2022, im having withdrawals
i went on Saturday
thas when i got the pic of thee nemesis reborn worm next to nemmy's eye
cbeebies land 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I haven't been in ages either 😭
(I'm scared of rollercoasters)
real, my fav ride is the in the night garden
i actually really want to go on octonauts, i love huge rollercoasters but smth about the octonauts coaster is calling me and ive never been on it
I'm more of an islander(go to thorpe park far more often cuz it's closer) but the occasional towers trip is a must
octonauts rollercoaster adventure...
ive been to thorpe a few times! i love swarm 😛
I haven't been in years
Swarm mentioned 🔥🔥🔥
my fav rollercoaster ive ever been on i think is either swarm or velocicoaster in universal
velocicoaster is so so good
going to thorpe again on the 14th actually
then. 24th n 26th may...
I'll have hyperia worm keyrings for the 24th may trip
We were meant to go for our rewards trip way back in like year 9 but then the new headteacher got rid of the trips the wrongun
does anyone know how i get my friend whos never been on a rollercoaster bc shes scared to go on them 😭 im going to florida again in august w her and i want her to come on the rides </3
shes scared of loops and stuff
i have a small plan but im unsure if it will work 😞
honestly my only experience has been ride access pass massively helping
cuz my issue was the queue giving me too much time to chicken out
but i haven't rlly been to a non merlin park
What my dad did was trick me onto rock and roll rollercoaster by saying it wasn't that bad and cause it's in the dark I would have never seen it go upside down 💀
i managed to get my 10 year old cousin on hulk last time i was in florida bc i told her that the hogwarts forbidden journey ride went upside down so she went on the hulk 😭
she loved it
spirit managed to get me on th13teen by not telling me abt ||the drop n backwards section||
That Harry Potter one that's inside stopped halfway through I was terrified
i might like, start her off w small ones like the hippogriff coaster and then hagrids and then just get her on the hulk 😭
Or bribe her 😜
I've gotten stuck on nemesis inferno just out the station before
like. front row. everyone else was able to get off but we were stuck dangling
usually it gets stuck on the lift hill so that was a fun rare experience
Like who doesn't want overpriced candy
also been stuck on swarm on the brakerun before
i got stuck on the gringotts ride at universal but i dont even think it counts bc i got stuck where we load into the carts 😭
it just didnt move for an hour 🥰
but yeh
we should totally all go to a theme park together
load up a smiler car or smth
i got stuck on galactica for about 40 minutes just outside the station💀💀
and that was my first proper rollercoaster experience too so that was fun lmaooo
ooof
OH i also got stuck on hagrids actually
right where the track drops down we got stuck after we dropped and i was scared that they wouldnt realise and another car would drop down on top of us 😭
luckily there's sensors for that usually
like ik here idk elsewhere they physically can't send a car round if someone's stuck
yeah it was a really irrational fear but it was still worrying LMAO
fairs
when i was stuck on nemferno i was scared I'd fall out
even tho i knew i was secure
Oh heyo, fellow rap user!
The new system's okay, definitely pulling its weight more in Thorpe and the rest than it is in Towers but its alright.
Does the job still
I thought I did tell you?
I'd say figure out who's the "worst" to do first and give them the least time to chicken out without forcing them.
My personal go to is SAW: The Ride since her worst part {vertical lifthill} is actually halfway through the circuit since shes a Eurofighter, instead when you leave the station you go into a headchopper dive almost 5 seconds after leaving.
That's because the station's already elevated, so there's no need for the lift to help gather momentum during the first half.
But yeah golden rule, give em little time to think but still give em a way out if they really cannot handle the anticipation.
Forcing em on when they're on the verge of a breakdown will just make em associate the experience with the bad sads
you didn't no
said it had no gimmick
so it was like the 2nd ride i ever did at towers
n i thanked u for not telling me
Wait when did this chat become theme park talk lol
I’ve only been to Thorpe Park
Got to do a whopping 2 rides
Genuinely, no clue but I'm all for it
Me too lol. I have done plenty of funfairs though
Been themed parking since I was like 12 and now I'm a bit too knowledgeable for my own good :')
we awakened the local thoosies apparently
Additionally ayyy my home park
I love thorpe its my baby, we ignore the new logo.
The Swarm, which was the first proper rollercoaster I’d been on and it was definitely fun although not as intense as I hoped after waiting for 90 minutes, and Samuri
Lol yeahh 💀
Oh bloody Sam, Sam is a ride.
Bugger originated from Chessington fun fact
In like 2004 Chess and Thorpe did a ride swap since they were making the shift towards focusing each of em on different audiences {chess family and kids, Thorpe teens and up}
Really??
Not surprised it didn’t stay there lol
Yeah makes sense
we sendin pics n stuff?
gotta dig up thorpe pics but
Samuri had a really great cycle when I was there and not a huge queue
video from saturday
Thorpe gave Chess a feris wheel called Eclipse {who then became the late Peeking Heights} and in return we got Samurai
Who weirdly kept his name despite being in the North America area?
one of my college friends rlly like samurai so chances are she'll want to get us on it
samurai's getting a repaint, thorpe recently gave us pics in the passholder group and it's lookin good
Oh I spelt it wrong oops
Yeah they returned him to his og colours
Yeah I’d always wanted to go on that type of ride, there used to be one at Brean but they got rid of it, and I hadn’t found one at a fair so it was kinda the one flat ride I wanted to try there
Oh you're a south west eng then
i prefer swinging to- oh hey south west gang
I've heard plenty about Brean
Somewhat, Gloucestershire
Any of it good? Lol
Im south east myself, bloody Buckinghamshire
will not get over this hyperia pic i took
I don't know because I think I'm getting mixed up with crealy
But I've heard of Brean at least
Brean was my childhood amusement park
And where I’d go on holiday a lot
It’s become really crap as of late but I have a lot of good memories
Wait shit now I remember why I remember brean
swindon has a fun fair during the holidays a lot
ride selection is kinda shit depending on where it is (west swin is more likely to get a larger selection than town centre) but one thing will Always Be There.
The Miami Trip.
It got Wipeout, massive fuck off kmg afterburner model
Yeah!
I hate the maimi trip I wish it a very cease to exist
It’s also got the discus ride, astro storm, a big swing seat ride
Wooogh
LMAO the Miami trip is either the best or the worst ride ever
I never have positive experiences with miamis
swindon miami trip hurts your thighs
but ignore what spirit says it's wonderful
I only go on a Miami if other people are dragging me on, otherwise it’s not worth the pain lol
I felt like I was going to fly out Kitzel I'm sorry I'm tiny
It’s definitely a laugh though
I'm the one dragging ppl on
The one at Brean used to have water fountains that would get you wet
nah what's fun is walking hole and seeing it running for exactly one person
home
hole?? wtf
If I’m thinking of the right thing then yeah
I saw one of those in Birmingham when I went a couple weeks back but didn’t have time to go on because of a gig
pov you're walking hole
how we'll identify each other at the show will just be by yelling "walking hole" /j
I did get to go on another bucket list ride, Danter’s AIR, which was also not as intense as I wanted
most intense ride I've been on in recent time was honestly nemesis on saturday
i could feel my legs vibrating
Sat in the queue and the one callout is just "who out walking hole"
I’m just way too used to flat rides now they barely phase me
Well no shit she just got a retrack, girl's smooth and ready to roar
I wanted to go on Stealth at Thorpe but my god the queues
I’d be waiting longer than a TOP queue and that’s saying something
Yeah stealth queues are... a thing
wicker man was a close second
put my arms up, worst mistake of my life
LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!
Tho this year they'll hopefully not be a nightmare?
We're all betting on Hyperia absolutely soaking up guest throughput once she comes around in may
I wish I didn’t live like the furthest from any of the good theme parks, so I’m stuck with funfairs pretty much. My town has one of the biggest in our area so that’s cool
I went with college so idk if I’ll end up going again
Oof
If I were to go back it would be for Hysteria though
Or whatever it’s called
The new one
Hyperia
Yeah
we're going for its opening day
It looks insane
I'm an annual passholder and only about 45 minutes away
So now next week im going twice.
This is peak mental stability I swear /j /lh
Luckyyy
Monday's w/ fam, Sunday's with this Kitzsl bastard here

Oh mate it's even more mental up close
i sent a pic of it fairly up close earlier
but pics do not put into perspective
you gotta be there
I’ll be there in spirit
Like her track's fully done, and you can clearly see her on the horizon from the entrance
Yeah I’ve seen a couple of recent pics
Usually the only ones you can see from entrance is stealth and I think SAW maybe?
idk why that phrase amuses me sm
Not this joke again
swarm n stealth
Huh 😭
you signed up for it when you named yourself spirit
I named my online self spirit when I was like 11 Kit
I never considered the consequences that'd come once I'm 19 mate
Oh I didn’t even notice lol
In which may I ask are we Dun yet
Look i don't know why my brain adds 2
I’m looking at the lil guy right now (I love how pissed off Tyler looks)
When I bring up the Dockyard discourse-
when you spot a red hood in the distance
when ticketmaster
When ticketmaster
Real

trailers belongs to jungleclan
He looks done in every photo tbf
tyler got that resting bitch face
Consistently, looks fed up with the world
Josh is such a polite fellow
You've got Dog-coded Josh and then Cat-Coded Tyler
He has the energy of a cat on the verge of knocking your shit off the shelf for the sake of it
Same
He knows what you've done
he knows we made the clique talk abt theme parks....
apparently this is the view from seat block 7 !
I was in block 7 for the 1975, it's a rlly good view tbf
the panic from this morning has worn off so i’m excited now
Frrr
block 7 gang
can't wait
I will cast a plague upon Ticketmaster if I do not get my tickets
For what happened this morning
Amen
I really don’t wanna be in the seats
My mum got tricked by the April fools announcement about the support acts
She listened to them and was like “they don’t sound like good support acts at all ☹️”
i’d love to be standing because i’ve only done that once at a parx show, but i’m hoping to take my 10yo brother for his first concert
i completely forgot that we have supports to look forward to
I fully missed the supports in 2022 cuz of the queue lol
Ah fair enough
The only show I was seated for was my first concert at a Nothing But Thieves gig, and I was like “I need to be down there” and that’s where I have gone since lol
last time i was in the pit i had a meltdown through mulberry street
so sitting is the way to go for me
well
last time i was in the pit for tøp
Yeah last time you were pit for anything was ajr and we were like 2-3 rows from the stage?
Really lucky that time
i was this close to parx for my only standing show so far
it was a good first experience
hey if anyone is selling 2 tickets pls dm me, unfortunately ticketmaster fucked up for me so i couldnt get any tickets :(
Anyone know what the views like in block 12?
that was my view in block 12 row E for the 1975
Camera makes it feel a bit further away but is not too bad
thanks, doesnt look too bad
anywhere in resorts world is perfect its not that huge
I’ve had worse experiences in the pit lol
Shoutout to my first arena show
Second row from the barrier for my favourite band (at the time), had to get security to drag me out about 3/4 through because I got sick lol
Thank god I was close to the barrier or it would have been a very unpleasant experience for me and everyone around me 😭😭
So now I’m a lot more chill in the pit
Real recognise real. My first pit show was FOB at the (now utilita) and I’m not proud to say I chundered in the middle of the crowd 😳😳
I’m good now I do lots of mosh pits at hardcore shows so I know I’ll survive a tøp crowd 😅
I’ll survive if I even get there smh, round 2 in just under 10 hours yayyy
Will be crossing my fingers for you!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Ngl TOP crowds have been some of the most insane crowds I've been part of
Really hope everyone gets tickets tomorrow 🙏
round two let’s go
is samurai the one where its a flat ride and it swings you about in circles and upside down etc
bc i love that ride
good luck !!!!
if ticketmaster fails you, ticketfactory has always been nice to me
Did anyone get the email from ticketfactory? I signed up to their presale but got nothing
thank you!!
lemme see
it seems i didnt either, idk if it would be different for me tho bc i get access to ticketfactory presales early anyway
im pretty sure it said on the website they’d come 15 mins before it starts so maybe in 10 mins time?
Hmmmm
waiting with anticipation
i just signed up on a different email and it says this
i got that page too
LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!
the link for you all if the email doesnt come 🫶🏻
“before it opens” is a rapidly closing window aksjs
i think its just a link that gets sent not a code
this link ^
yeah there’s no code i don’t think
bc it doesnt say “presale code” or anything it just says it’ll send you a link
i got an email!!
woooo
it’s the link you just sent lol
yeah 😭
i like ticket factory cause i got block 16 front row yesterday 🤣 so best of luck to anyone trying today
im currently sat with upper bowl block 9 !
i got four seats at the back of block 7 yesterday with ticket protection so they can be refunded only if i can prove a valid reason
i never get ticket protection and i can refund
oh that’s interesting
i think ticket protection is if like
you get hacked or smth and someone steals them
😭
i think it said emergencies and illness etc
i’m hesitant to buy four tickets today in case i can’t refund the ones i already have
i would consider trying for standing today however i have limited money bc apple stole my money out my bank 🤩
waiting for a refund to be processed ☺️
apple and ticketmaster are out to get us
So are we getting them from ticket factory?
you can usually resell
today i believe is ticket factory or live nation presales
Man I’m so scared lol I gotta get 3 tickets
you’ve got this !!
i think i’ll try for closer seats and worry about refunding or reselling the others later
i have the early access to presale thing but idk how tf to access it
Should I try to get tickets from both sites? Lol
oh i figured it out!
wouldn’t hurt
i think we just wait for the button to activate?
ticket factory prices ^
how’d you get in?
dont get amplify tickets guys theyre a waste of money and only give you access to a private bar and a private toilet
i have early access to ticketfactory presales
np!
best of luck to everyone today
Im praying i get tickets this time
ticketfactory is much nicer than ticketmaster so hopefully you will!
just different pricing for the seated
do you know what £A * is? is that also seat? sine its the same price as standing
yeah it’s just the best seats
ahh okay okay
3 minutes 
the stress
A is block 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 2, 3, 5 and 6
B is block 11, 13, 7, upper block 10, upper block 8 and upper block 9
so £A Standing is that pit?
C is block 11, block 12, block 6, block 7, upper block 10 and upper block 9
yes
okay good good
One minute
just so everyone is aware, dont want anyone disappointed trying to get them and it not working ^
depends there's like 50 flats that do roughly that
its uh
near saw i think?
its very discombobulating and you end up with a headache if that helps :D
yeah that's Sam
do i ge tprotection??
that ride was rather fun
if you have the money to do so you may as well
THAT WAS SO EASY O M G TICKETFACTORY
I GOT A TICKET FOR ME BUT I COULDNT GET SEATS
wait did they sell out?
I GOT THEM
No it kept saying there were no tickets when I tried to get all 3 so I just got standing
it’s saying it can’t offer the tickets i’m choosing
even though the sections i choose aren’t sold out
thats weird, maybe try another device?
wait guys whats the different between standing and house standing????
No idea I got standing
i got house standing idk what that is
