[dapper karma]

hope the floor seats aren't like $200, outer bowl already seems to be confirmed $60

[somber elk]

I just hope I can go at all 😭 These sudden Loona tours are gonna be the death of me

[flat rock]

heya

[dense orchid]

[flat rock]

yeah…and i think this promoter usually has vip separate so thats easily another like 100-150 on top of your ticket if its the same case…i guess we’ll see soon enough

[dapper karma]

i will get the cheapest seats in the house if i have to, just glad i didn't double dip getting lovelution tickets. too many things to buy right now

[flat rock]

yeah i get it, honestly might have to get the cheapest as well, im planning on spending a good bit on stayc, but we've heard no news on that yet lol

gonna be really hard to miss this one though so even if its a not so great seat i still have to go

[marble leaf]

How to choose between Oakland and LA..

[outer whale]

LA imo. Weekend, likely more turn out, also the very last leg of the tour. More meaningful to attend and send them off. Or go to both and problem solved

[slow cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/make-some-noise-jidon-adams-jidion-get-loud-excited-gif-25984557

Credit Card bout to go crazy

Yall getting VIP??

[marble leaf]

i've been debating that toooooo >.<

[flat rock]

dont think i can for the moment

if theres some left over down the line ill probably snipe one but for now i might just get a cheap ticket, dunno if im even gonna wake up once sales start

[slow cairn]

Ill probably get seats

[outer whale]

Gonna try for closest seat I can't. Too short for GA..if there is GA

[dense orchid]

That higher tier vip package seems a lot more worth than the regular one

For only $70 more too

[outer whale]

Hope that doesn't mean only 1 group picture with every VIP Wonder purchasers

[gilded badger]

Lmfao I thought the same

Has anyone been to the forum before? What’s the venue and area like? I’m from North Carolina and planning to travel cross country for this stop. I don’t know anything about the area at all.

[dapper karma]

nah i can't justify the vip personally, also $50 more than last year's vip for the wonder tier

don't wanna feel scammed by not winning the 1:1 selfie

[outer whale]

The premium is basically gacha cost for that solo pic with the group

[dapper karma]

yeah its smart but not for me

[dapper karma]

I haven't been since 2016, area has changed a lot since then because SoFi Stadium is next door now

maybe someone else who's been can answer

[flat rock]

i really liked the venue the like two times i went, its definitely nice sound-wise and definitely on the better end on that in terms of the bigger venues (well bc it was made for music but)

floor might be huge with the setup, def would be something new if you havent been to an arena of sorts yet

the area is eh, kinda depends what youre used to seeing/experiencing though

[gilded badger]

I’m from Charlotte area which is a decently big city, but likely nothing compared to LA. I’m pretty fortunate that one of my friends is the one getting our tickets tomorrow since I’ll be unavailable- I have no experience with seated venues and while I’ve been to many concerts, they have entirely all been general admission. So it’s definitely new to me.

[outer whale]

Wouldn't stroll around late at night though, especially alone.

[dapper karma]

yeah i'll second that

[flat rock]

yeah its not a great area

[outer whale]

I just pray even GA is seated

[flat rock]

been to the area many times, theres definitely worse places but inglewood aint the best place in LA

[outer whale]

The venue is quite big so no reason for them to try to pack people

[gilded badger]

I assumed this was the case but I am not sure.

[flat rock]

even though the seatmap they have right now is generic wouldnt be too surprising if thats the layout, i guess we'll see soon enough

i guess what im trying to say is as of right now there doesnt seem to be GA

[outer whale]

I think when I went for Twice, GA was standing

[gilded badger]

Oh I see. So the floor would be seats that are assigned as well possibly?

[outer whale]

I was seating then on 2nd floor though

[gilded badger]

Those who have gone to the venue what do you recommend for parking/transport?

[flat rock]

seems like a fairly decent chance unless they change the seatmap between now and then

[outer whale]

Depending on where you stay. If you're out of town anyway probably just Uber there

[flat rock]

carpooling or rideshare i guess would be best bet

parking in that area mega expensive

[gilded badger]

And if I can assume correctly- If you are in an assigned seat, is there any reason to get to the venue massively early besides like merchandise and hanging out? I unfortunately experiencing the camping hell of the last tour but general admission is a fight for the front.

[outer whale]

Parking itself is bad but definitely not as bad as some other popular big venues

[gilded badger]

Ok, nice. Ty

[flat rock]

yup youre basically correct

[gilded badger]

Oh fun.

[flat rock]

show up whenever you want, unless you wanna go for merch/freebies

[gilded badger]

Awesome

[flat rock]

if its GA then well, you already know the drill

[gilded badger]

Hahaha

[outer whale]

Parking was only like $20 precovid

[slow cairn]

Wait

[outer whale]

Idk what it is now

[slow cairn]

Isnt the Forum being demolished??

[flat rock]

thats a long way off i think

at least a few years

[slow cairn]

to make parking for SofI?

[flat rock]

i paid like 50 or 60 when i saw twice last year lol

[dapper karma]

When I checked the add-on pricing for other shows it was $45 parking

[outer whale]

These mf

[gilded badger]

Has anyone been to a soundcheck for a concert before? How do you know when to arrive for a soundcheck?

[outer whale]

They tell you when it begins

[gilded badger]

Ok, nice

[flat rock]

youll get an email a few days before the event

well, with livenation you would, but oughta be the same

[gilded badger]

Well I’m heading to sleep. I’ll be back in this chat if we end up with tickets. Gonna have to drop around 1000 on plane rides if it works out- Fun times. Thanks for being here and answering my random questions

[outer whale]

Dam that's more than 2 concerts+vip just for plane tickets

[gilded badger]

Yeah. I’ll pay for both my boyfriend and I to fly seperately, me from NC + his from Alabama. As well as our rides back from LA. Hahaha…

[outer whale]

The dedication

Here am I just debating if I wanna fly from LA to Oakland for the other show

[flat rock]

it aint that far away haha

might as well

[outer whale]

We'll see how ticketing goes

I don't even think we have pricing yet?

[flat rock]

not officially but its in the "background"

seeming like its gonna be within the ball park of 60-250 w/o fees

[outer whale]

Goddam

I'm one to buy first think later but even then this is basically a $500 vip package kinda ticket

[flat rock]

yeah literally, its shaping up to nearly be as much as twice vip lol

[outer whale]

Yeh.

[flat rock]

im just trying to get a decent seat in the 100s if that aint expensive but idk

crazy tbh

[outer whale]

I paid like $560 for twice vip

But they got the demands to push for those kinda pricing

I'm just curious why they didn't pick smaller venues. Would be a more intimate experience I'd think

[flat rock]

i wonder if theyre opening all sections

this is quite the leap from what they typically do*

[dense orchid]

Echoing what others have said already: venue is pretty good, surrounding area is ehhh. Parking is $45 and best to ride share if not planning on driving

Light rail service isn’t very reliable out there yet and the station isn’t close to the venue anyways

[outer whale]

I was planning on driving but Uber will be cheaper and no hassle about getting out of the parking lol

[outer whale]

Seriously. That's why I wonder why they picked the venue. There's bunch of smaller theater in LA

[hardy thistle]

i for one appreciate their ambition shooting for the stars at the forum

i just hope it works out

LOL

[flat rock]

of course its great to see them there but like

just hope it works well for them and the company

[hardy thistle]

im skeptical tbh but hey! last tour i thought reading would be dead

and i was very wrong

id love to go down to see them at the forum but.. too much $$

this time around

[outer whale]

how big is reading?

kia forum for kpop concert will realistically be like 10k capacity if they open everything but the sections behind stage

[dapper karma]

fr this is crazy since we could've got the wiltern again or something. would've been nice to have a stadium last time

[hardy thistle]

i think reading is 9k

if i remember correctrly

[hardy thistle]

tbh i thought it would be the wiltern again

[dense orchid]

Can fit up to 9K but if TripleS isn’t selling well there… I can’t really imagine loossemble doing much better

[hardy thistle]

i just think kia forum is risky but if it works

its gonna be a banger

[outer whale]

idk when I was there for Twice in 2018(?), the sound system at the forum was kinda sht

[dense orchid]

I was there for twice last year and mamamoo this year and it was fine

[outer whale]

at reading or at the forum?

[dense orchid]

Reading

[slow cairn]

hopefully it gets packed at the Forum for them

[outer whale]

still hugely depends on ticket prices I guess

[flat rock]

if they dont have an extended stage capacity is probably gonna be around like 14k

[outer whale]

it is steep

[slow cairn]

But I could have sworn they demolished the Forum, like I could have sworn there was construction there for the past months

[slow cairn]

yeah that's true

[flat rock]

was there sitting all fine when i went to sofi in june

[dense orchid]

They are building a new sporting arena nearby

[flat rock]

they are building a replacement though

[outer whale]

but any venue is better than that wretched rose bowl

[slow cairn]

I thought it was for parking???

Oh shit

nvm

[flat rock]

youre the second person ive seen say that

maybe i dont want twice at rose bowl then

[dapper karma]

they are building Intuit Dome

[flat rock]

is it really that awful

[slow cairn]

Theyre building one for the Clippers

now I remember

[dense orchid]

Rose bowl is poopoo for concerts

[hardy thistle]

the rose bowl is great for sports

[outer whale]

the venue itself is fine, but I feel bad for all the poor souls that park in the venue

[hardy thistle]

awful for concerts

[flat rock]

never been but damn

[outer whale]

welp all we can hope for is decent amount will show up

[flat rock]

did their tour in LA sell out last year?

[outer whale]

but what the heck will they perform? new album and re-arranged formation of loona songs?

[outer whale]

was more or less yeah

but the wiltern is tiny

[flat rock]

yeah im also wondering about their performances, i guess that would cut it for this tour, seems like its gonna be a showcase type thing

[slow cairn]

yeah because the capacity was small

[flat rock]

are they allowed to do their solo stuff? idk what bbc owns and prevents them from doing or not

yeah comparing the wiltern to the forum is well...

[slow cairn]

Didnt Odd Eye sing some off their old stuff in their showcase?

[outer whale]

I think in general they can perform them at concerts, but record and resell concert vid might not be okay

[slow cairn]

I mean, for 5 songs, its gonna be a short concert more or less

unless they stretch it out

[flat rock]

makes sense

[outer whale]

yeah they have to either fill with more songs/cover or do a lot of talk show/games in between

[slow cairn]

We got our Loona cape and lightstick ready though????

[flat rock]

gonna have to look for a cape

definitely ready with the lightstick

[outer whale]

ain't got no cape but my lightstick still in pristine condition since last tour

[dense orchid]

They’re supposed to have an album out by tour time I think

[outer whale]

if we being generous and they got 10 songs in the album and perform every single one of them, taking in changing outfits and everything that's still gonna be an hour at best

talk in between and stuff for 30min. that'd be a good showcase. idk if you can do that for entire tour though

oh hyeju on insta live

[flat rock]

and well tbh that'd be ok (as long as that was fine for them)

but the price range still bugs me

[outer whale]

especially if it's gonna be a "short" showcase imo.

[flat rock]

yeah exactly

damn it fomo

[outer whale]

welp at least this time LA won't be the guinea pig lol

we'll find out how long the concert is at least from other stops

[dense orchid]

Yeah the price range is not it for this short of a show length

Especially if it’s actually GA

[outer whale]

if GA standing for $250, I can't

I'll just go to seating section lol.

[dense orchid]

Yeah that would be absurd

Idk what CTD is thinking if that’s the case

[flat rock]

i wanted to do lower bowl but even that might be expensive

i dont know anything about everything behind the scenes but just hoping it works out lol

[outer whale]

at least when I went for twice pre-covid it wasn't bad (pricing-wise) on the lower bowl seats

[dense orchid]

That’s why them doing the forum seems even more ambitious given how not great the pricing looks too

What are they cooking

[flat rock]

yeah it wasnt awful but everything got expensive this year

[outer whale]

not entirely out of the question that they might relocate to another venue

[flat rock]

some people were saying like maybe the venue pitched a discount to the promoter or company or something?

[outer whale]

I think something like that happened to a group recently

[flat rock]

no clue though ive just heard nothing like that

[flat rock]

yeah its def happened

[outer whale]

most plausible reasoning. Can't see why they'd go for it otherwise

[flat rock]

its just so weird lol

of course i do want to see them pack it but they were doing the wiltern just last year and that was with 11 of them

dont want to make it sound like im discrediting or anything but yknow

[dense orchid]

It’s just so strange

[dapper karma]

less cozy and more expensive

[outer whale]

there is a silver-lining though is at least this time it's on the weekend. Higher chance of people can make it

for the wiltern it was on Mon & Tues

[flat rock]

that is very true yeah

i know some groups have also closed some sections in the past but idk, why go for such a huge venue in the first place

[outer whale]

but yeah $250 is basically like double the price of the wiltern

[dense orchid]

Even more than that I’d say

[dapper karma]

i think most artists have only half the arena by default

[dense orchid]

Plus a $129 VIP package

Which we don’t even know if it’s seated or GA so how would soundcheck for that work if it was GA lol

[outer whale]

@dense orchid was just mainly referring to ticket itself. I think wiltern was like $110?

[dense orchid]

Was it

I could have sworn it was less than that

[dapper karma]

mezz 77.50 ga 93.50 loge 109.50 after fees

[outer whale]

after fees. so I guess yeah gonna be closer to 3x if it's $250 at the forum before fees lol

[dapper karma]

and then $150 for the highest vip

which was super worth it

[outer whale]

still usher in first come first serve lol. All soundchecks I went to was seated but still first come first serve

[somber elk]

Wait where did you guys see the prices?

[flat rock]

damn that cheap? thats crazy

[dapper karma]

this is for loona at The Wiltern last year

[outer whale]

some venues already up apparently. And maybe you can check if you look at the backend of the website or something

[flat rock]

yeah damn

[outer whale]

time for me to bow out for the night too. Gl to everyone tomorrow

[dapper karma]

i think the $250 for floor is from other shows at the forum but we don't know if that's the price tier they'll have

[flat rock]

definitely wouldve gone if i didnt blow my budget somewhere else

[flat rock]

gn gn

[somber elk]

Gl, I just wanna score some cheap seats 😭

[outer whale]

for once I'd like to be optimistic and hope this is true 😄

[dense orchid]

Good luck everyone who is planning on getting tix tomorrow 🫡

[flat rock]

yeah im just getting cheap seats so imma sleep in

good luck to everyone gunning for those good floor seats though

[somber elk]

Careful, when I tried buying tickets for Loona last time on the first date, I was there early and still couldn't score any tickets. Everything was gone 😭

Got so lucky I scored something for the second date

[flat rock]

okay well maybe ill wake up early just in case

see yall in the morning

[somber elk]

Yeah I think you should 😂 What happened last time is that they put me in a queue and by the time I was let in, only sales from scalpers were left. Good luck though and goodnight!

[marble leaf]

Is this what we're thinking for setup? or standing..
I think the above chart for the available spots but
https://www.rateyourseats.com/shared/The-Forum-Concert-Section-203-Row-5_on_7-14-2018_FL.jpg

[somber elk]

This venue seems significantly bigger than The Wiltern was so hopefully that means they don't sell out as fast 🤞🏽 🙏🏽

I'm so nervous rn lmao

[dense orchid]

Good luck everyone

[somber elk]

Awww no not the queue again 🤧 Good luck everyone! My luck tends to be bad when there's a queue 🥲

[flat rock]

[flat rock]

so far thinking its gonna be similar to that, but we'll see what it says when we get in

[marble leaf]

if there's assigned seats and not standing Floor space.. ill be the happiest

space for my merch bag.. and to breath

good luck gang \o/

I hope you're already in the waiting room

[outer whale]

Only a bit of top bowl. Most of it is closed

[solemn bane]

dm me your ticketmaster info

[marble leaf]

there are sections behind the stage and such that are not selectable

[flat rock]

they opened up the whole floor and lower bowl and like every other section of upper bowl

[short sphinx]

does the venue really not allow camera?

[flat rock]

and only a few rows of upper bowl too

[astral mural]

"camera" usually refers to ones with lenses

[short sphinx]

ah okay thx

[marble leaf]

Video cameras, monopods, tripods, audio recording devices and cameras with professional telephoto or zoom lenses are NOT permitted

seems like phones are fine

oooh

You may bring in non-professional or disposable cameras.

[astral mural]

yeah polaroids and the like are fine too

[marble leaf]

Gotta drag my bro along with me though and he doesn't have a lightstick. Is it okay if he comes without one or am I gonna have to buy one for him?

[flat rock]

dont even worry about it it'll be fine

[astral mural]

to anyone whos going, dont forget to wear earplugs

[flat rock]

^^^^

dont wait till its too late

[somber elk]

Personally I've been to all concerts without them but I may bring them for my bro just in case

Loona's concert last year was especially loud

[umbral flint]

Nah y’all gonna need earplugs for kcon

Holy fuuuuu

[marble leaf]

truuuuue that bass for pose was

[short sphinx]

[somber elk]

Plus the screaming orbits 😂

[fallen berry]

[astral mural]

[umbral flint]

Bruh fr I carted barricade but they tryna scam with those plat prices

Hell nah

[dapper karma]

[fallen berry]

[umbral flint]

Section K row 1 is fine enough for me lmao

💀

[outer whale]

You keeping 'em both?

[marble leaf]

wait iiii got an aisle seat in E

[somber elk]

Thankfully idc where I am at a concert as long as I have raised seats cuz I'm short lmao

[umbral flint]

The stage is raised so you’ll be good

[astral mural]

even if you think that you won't need them, better safe than sorry

[fallen berry]

likely reselling one, my cousin probably cant make it

[somber elk]

Yeah, I mean, luckily I already have a box with me cuz I have misophonia so I always have em handy

[dapper karma]

13? or are you in front of me
edit: sorry you can dm or don't answer if u don't want to

[outer whale]

Lmk how much you're selling if you do let go of one

[astral mural]

yeah i carry them with me everywhere too

[fallen berry]

no idea, still in shock i even have the seats

[marble leaf]

zooming in on this picture trying to figure out how accurate it is and where my seat is and how my view will be

[outer whale]

Now the question are the rest of these. That's a lot of tickets

[astral mural]

which section

[astral mural]

yeah still a lot, which is why im not in a rush

[somber elk]

Oh so they didn't sell out immediately this time

Probably could've put more thought into my seats but I was so scared from last time

[flat rock]

theres gonna be plenty lingering out for a while im sure

[marble leaf]

I'm outer "aisle" in E just a few rows from the front.. because people locked up the front row and I panicked and now the front row of E is open..

[outer whale]

Oh definitely (no disrespect) won't sold out first day. If it sold out at all at Kia that'd be amazing

[somber elk]

Yeah, but now taking a look at the seat map and prices I still got the best seats I could within my budget so it worked out. Can't really get any closer than I did without paying more

[astral mural]

https://aviewfrommyseat.com/venue/Kia+Forum/E/

this may help

[nova shell]

Is there a meet and greet for Loona here?

[marble leaf]

ohhhhh hello omg

[dapper karma]

yeah https://store.frommyarti.com/en/bundle/34

[marble leaf]

the VIP packages go on sale in a couple days right?

Sunday night 9 Pm cst? 10 est

[nova shell]

Nice

[dapper karma]

lol they're tryna scam when are they gonna add regular parking

[marble leaf]

if its like the Twice view, I might cry a little.. if its the got7 view.. happy cry

[flat rock]

fr

[umbral flint]

No extended stage so

[nova shell]

I'm waiting for regular parking to

I'll just show up early so I can get a good spot

Lol

[dapper karma]

yea like there will definitely be enough capacity

not in any hurry to spend more

[umbral flint]

Probably same deal like for mamamoo

Lotta people had vip

So probably won’t sell out

[gilded badger]

WOOOOOO

[umbral flint]

W

[gilded badger]

Slay but also RIP my bank account when I pay for these plane tickets,

[umbral flint]

Oh

From vegas?

[gilded badger]

I’m flying from North Carolina to LA, my boyfriend from Alabama to LA

[umbral flint]

Oh

LOL

[gilded badger]

So those flights + the return flights

Hahaha

[dense orchid]

Oof

[gilded badger]

Worth it

[umbral flint]

Why LA lmao

[gilded badger]

I’m training at my job through September, have a vacation and a bridal shower to attend- So only October is really possible. It’s also a weekend date + I am able to meet a large amount of my online friends since we coordinated the trip together

[honest cosmos]

Smart

[umbral flint]

I always forget LA is a tourist destination since we live here

💀

[gilded badger]

Hahaha

[somber elk]

I live a couple hours from LA but I hate going there unless it's for an event cuz I get so overwhelmed 😆

[gilded badger]

I’ve only been to sanfran and drove down that coastal highway

[umbral flint]

I Always say “it’s not that great guys”

PCH

the gta highway

[somber elk]

It really isn't lmao

[umbral flint]

I mean the food is pretty fire tho

[somber elk]

True, and there's k-pop stores there

[umbral flint]

And we get all the kpop shows basically

Lol

[somber elk]

Yeah that's what I was gonna say. Anytime there's a California concert it'll always be in LA

San Diego would be nice for once but I don't think that'll ever happen

[umbral flint]

San Diego is for retired folks

[somber elk]

That's why I enjoy the atmosphere much more lmao. Not as chaotic

I'm retired folk in my heart

[umbral flint]

Working in the heart of DTLA probably isn’t good for mental sake

💀

[fallen berry]

san diego is great

[umbral flint]

Only been down south a handful of times tbh

[flat rock]

i'd much rather drive there

LA always crazy

[somber elk]

Seriouslyyyy it's so stressful and chaotic. And I'm never even the one driving 💀

[umbral flint]

We had a shooting at work like a week ago 💀

[somber elk]

Not surprised but still disappointed

[umbral flint]

Disclaimer I work for the mta

So work is all of LA

It’s unfortunate this stuff happens

But yeah LA is not for the faint of heart

Just gotta stay safe out there

[somber elk]

Definitely, we never stay longer than we have to. Glad it's just 2-3 hours away so we can drive there and leave immediately

[signal salmon]

I'm still in shock that they booked the forum for this. I really hope they can sell out

[umbral flint]

Yeah idk why they just didn’t do the wiltern again

Like what

[signal salmon]

Exactly

[umbral flint]

Especially since it’s only 5

[flat rock]

seriously lol its still confusing

[somber elk]

Yeah it seems a bit ambitious but I hope they can at least sell most of the seats. I liked The Wiltern, would've been nice to be in Korea Town again

I feel like them not having an album yet and not knowing what songs they'll perform doesn't help either 😅

[umbral flint]

This is the only show I’ll ever buy insurance for

💀

[somber elk]

Like with OEC we at least assumed they'd be doing all their old sub-unit stuff and I think we already knew the album was coming out? But since Loossemble wasn't an existing pre-debut sub-unit idk what they're gonna sing

[umbral flint]

All the songs are ™️ed right

[flat rock]

i think thats what the assumption is yea

[umbral flint]

Well

[flat rock]

i mean hoping for solos but idk even if bbc is basically in the ditch at this point

[umbral flint]

That’s a real head scratcher

[somber elk]

OEC has already performed old OEC songs so I'd assume all Loona music can be sung at the concert, they just can't like, release it or anything

[flat rock]

i think the fomo really motivated my decision

[umbral flint]

Ah

[somber elk]

I guess Loossemble can perform OT12 Loona songs but it would feel very different

[umbral flint]

Loona being an ult group helps too

[somber elk]

Same for me But also because Loona is my ult group and I want Loossemble to be successful

[umbral flint]

OEC special guest

Gonna call it here

[flat rock]

cant miss a chance to see loona members in action again after the whole fiasco

[somber elk]

Maybe after Loossemble releases an album they'll get more hype

[umbral flint]

Only got a couple months tho

Better not be BLACKPINK first tour vibes

💀

[somber elk]

What was that like?

[umbral flint]

I ain’t go lmao

Wasn’t worth it imo

[somber elk]

I don't listen to BP but they don't have a lot of music huh?

[umbral flint]

Now they do sort of

Back then they didn’t

💀

[somber elk]

I'm just gonna assume Loossemble will be singing Loona songs cuz like, on ticketmaster they weren't called "Loossemble" or "Loona Assemble"... they were called "Loona" 👀👀👀

Would be very different without OT12 but I'm down. Plus they can all perform their solos

[umbral flint]

[rose trail]

I hope they perform their solos!!

[flat rock]

solos would make the ticket prices more than worth it

[rose trail]

I wonder if they’ll do any subunits maybe like 1/3 & yyxy if they can too 🤭 it would be nice to see that

[somber elk]

It would be fun to mix up the sub-units yeah. They have half of each one 😆 We'll get 1/xy and yy/3

[hardy thistle]

amazing way to go down tbh

[outer whale]

hoping everyone got tickets they wanted 🙂

and I'll see yall in 2 months

[gilded badger]

Anyone had issues with distributing freebies outside of the venue?

Those who have previously gone to the forum

[dense orchid]

Should be fine as long as you’re not impeding traffic

People were handing out banners at mamamoo befor the show

And inside the venue at well

[dapper karma]

they added regular parking btw https://www.ticketmaster.com/parking-loona-inglewood-california-10-07-2023/event/09005F04962431A3

[flat rock]

ooo nice thanks

[slow cairn]

I managed to get a ticket

was honestly debating whether floor or seats

but I just decided to get a seat

not worth trying to deal with other people trying to shove and their stench

[somber elk]

Yeah as someone who's short I absolutely prefer seats. Even if everyone with assigned seats stand the whole time, everyone still has their own little area and you won't be shoved around or have your view blocked

[slow cairn]

Im 5'11 but even then I feel bad standing up, especially if the person or group of people behind me can't get a good view

That's why seats are sometimes best

for my scenario

[somber elk]

Makes sense

[outer whale]

Floor for this concert is also seated. But definitely less chance of getting blocked with slanted seats on the bowl

But since floor is seated there won't be shoving at least.

[slow cairn]

I figured but I also figured people would be standing regardless

That's why angle seating works at an advantage

[outer whale]

Oh yeah for sure they'll be standing

But it's nice to be able to sit down still unlike GA

[slow cairn]

Oh true, I agree with you on that 100%

I stand for like 10 hours at work and generally 45-55 hours a week, it's nice to be able to sit down haha

especially to enjoy a show

Honestly didnt want to risk it too because I seen how people get in the ga floor and my anger would get the best of me, seeing people trying to save spots by doing splits, shoving, and just being rude just left me a bad impression for kpop shows

[outer whale]

GA in general is a sht show for me. 1 I can't camp a day before concert for front line and 2 my view would be terrible as a short person so I haven't gone to any concert with GA since even before covid

[slow cairn]

Ill let you stand on my shoulder so you can get a view

Some Jak and Dexter type of shit

https://tenor.com/view/jak-and-daxter-jak-gif-6718745

[outer whale]

Haha and get gang up by others for blocking their view

[somber elk]

Yeah I've never bought GA standing pit tickets and I don't think I ever will unless I have to fsr. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth

[slow cairn]

Concert etiquette aint what it used to be, I mean, there's some good crowds but from what I seen for Kpop, eh

[somber elk]

Why do you think it's like that for k-pop in particular?

[hardy thistle]

fans tend to be on the younger side, chronically online-ness is rampant, many kpop fans dont get out to crowds like this anywehre besides kpop concerts and stuff like that

so they dont exaclty know how to handle it well

hard to generalize but those are some of the big ones imo

tho i think concert crowds in general since covid, have gotten much worse

[wild finch]

Omg

[gilded badger]

I just wanted to say that I went from like 2400? dollars to 650 in one day paying for tickets and fligts alone.

Worth

[mint forum]

das a lot of money

[ember wolf]

that doesn't include vip which is on sale tomorrow

[slow cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/sushichaeng-scared-shocked-scary-movie-heart-attack-gif-21684728

[umbral flint]

That’s a barricade seat right there

[gilded badger]

I’m debating VIP this time idk

[gilded badger]

Actually I’m in side seating but like really close to the stage. The flights are what killed me.

We are in section 129

That’s what I get for traveling to the literal farthest possible venue lmfao time to ask people if they want me to cover their work shifts

Anyways I’ll see y’all there I plan to make a lot of freebie stickers of some loona art! Super excited!

[somber elk]

Omg that sounds so cute 😭 Well hope I see you there so I can get one

[slow cairn]

Section 131 B)

[serene canyon]

Anyone have the link to get VIP?

I got floor section B so exciting ❤️❤️❤️

[dense orchid]

https://store.frommyarti.com/arti/loossemble

On sale at 7PM PST

[serene canyon]

This is true

I saw Loona in Denver last year and people were very nice compared to other concerts I’ve been to

[somber elk]

I mean I was in LA and at least the orbits I interacted with in line and stuff were very chill and sweet. The person sitting next to me at the concert was also really funny 😆

[umbral flint]

It’s already been a year since 0802

😭

[somber elk]

Ik I realized this a couple days ago too 😭 I went on 0801 though

[umbral flint]

Day 2 supremacy

[somber elk]

The queue for tickets screwed me over and I couldn't go on 0802 lol

[umbral flint]

F

[solemn bane]

its crazy its been a year since they did yum yum during day 1

[marble leaf]

immmmm going to throw up..

i did it..

i bought the wonder vip

[solemn bane]

[gilded badger]

Congrats I am still debating. Probably gonna keep 'debating' until my next paycheck. Haha

[dapper karma]

yeah gl everyone who got it, i can't add +$200 to the budget for this

[outer whale]

Lots of praying for sure. Only got 1 chance after all

[slow cairn]

you got the vip?

[outer whale]

I did, yeah

[marble leaf]

I realized I had misread the description tho..
I assumed it was first come first serve on the 1:1 photo.. buuut

It only says "limited quantity" first come first serve on the Vip Packages altogether
and then 50 of the Wonder Vip people will "have a chance to win" the 1:1 selfie.
Seems like it'll be a raffle between all the VVIPs

[outer whale]

Lol yeah it's a raffle. If it was the first 50 purchasers, nobody would've purchase after the first 5-10min

[light river]

Quick question and probably dumb question are all the vip packages gone?

[dapper karma]

they're available, check the pins in the general tour chat for the link

[light river]

Ooh thanks!

[marble leaf]

It says there's limited stock of the vip packages so it'll probaby stop people afte rthat

[umbral flint]

I bought vip 😭

[umbral flint]

I’m not a gamblin man but I’ll gamble

[flat rock]

you gotta pick up more of those 2 to 2 shifts after that one

[marble leaf]

how do you think uhhhh

will there be a choice for the 50 winners or something? >.>

do they just form a line at the member they want the selfie with?

What if only 10 people get to choose each member per stop? What if they intentionally keep it even

[umbral flint]

Beyoncé comin in clutch

[umbral flint]

Isn’t a 1:1 with every member or did I get scammed?

[marble leaf]

Is it with every member? One at a time?

That staff better be good at taking pictures..

[umbral flint]

It says with the artist

[marble leaf]

It dooooes say "Artists"

[umbral flint]

So I assume all of em

Yeah lol

[marble leaf]

Plural.. We pray 🙏

[umbral flint]

Hope the one time I gamble pays off

[marble leaf]

How rushed might it be tho I wonder ^^'
250 photos.. have more than a few staff doing it please ctd 🙏

positive thoughts 💪 itll be great

[umbral flint]

Hopefully nobody else buys it

😭😹

[slow cairn]

99.99% of people quit before they hit the big prize

[umbral flint]

[gusty burrow]

i bought my ticket! i’m so excited

[outer whale]

Highly unlikely it'll be 1:1 picture with each member. Most likely it'll be hi wave, then the group take picture with VIP wonders, then the group take 1 picture with each of the 50 winners.

Least amount of set up required on their ends in that case.

[marble leaf]

1 Orbit with all 5 Members? o.o

[outer whale]

Yep.

I wouldn't bet on being able to take pic with each member individually

[marble leaf]

idk why my first assumption was "choose 1 and only 1 member"

[outer whale]

Probably would've been the case if it was a virtual video call kinda event

[wild finch]

Me broke I hope last minute tix are cheap

[outer whale]

resale maybe.

[marble leaf]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[dapper karma]

lol spotted this

[dapper karma]

Nice I moved up 9 rows

if anyone wants to upgrade their seat since platinum prices went down

[umbral flint]

Yoooo????

Lemme check this shit out

[dense orchid]

Yeah should be relatively easy to do so since the show isn’t selling that well

[umbral flint]

Well now we wait 4 hours

[somber elk]

Since I got nosebleed seats I don't think they'll upgrade me unless they close off all the nosebleed seats entirely lmao

[flat rock]

i might just move to a lower bowl seat if these dont sell

[outer whale]

Oh dam yeah LA prices are drastically down now

[open blade]

Idk if I should still wait or buy tickets now

[dense orchid]

You’re prob better off waiting

This show ain’t gonna sell out so prices will likely keep dropping once TM realizes the demand isn’t there

[open blade]

Ooohhhh okay you’re right I’ll keep waiting Ty

[feral depot]

How much are tickets?

[modern dagger]

on seatgeek the cheapest is $74

[dapper karma]

https://fxtwitter.com/assaoncebit/status/1696970385152159867

[open blade]

Oooohhh thank you! I never been to the Kia but yea I’ll definitely be getting my tickets !

[feral depot]

thanks for the helpful graph 🙂

does anyone know if inside the bowl (1,3,K, or H) will have seating or just standing only?

[outer whale]

It should be seated since there's assigned number and isn't GA

[dense orchid]

everything should be seated

[feral depot]

sweet! I'm excited to see the concert now 😍

[flat rock]

those platinum tickets went down so much thats good to see

upgrades do be tempting

[slow cairn]

Same

But I don’t know if I’m able to sell the ticket I already have for another seat

Don’t mind taking a loss

But it’s the matter of getting someone to buy it

[dapper karma]

It gave me the new seat and freed up the old one

[slow cairn]

But what did you do with the old one? Manage to sell it?

[dapper karma]

No they took my old ticket and gave me the new one

and they only charged my card for price difference and the fee

[native skiff]

i'm a little salty because prices went down a lot but there's nothing i can exchange to, the best open seats are slightly worse than what i already have

[gusty burrow]

same :/

[flat rock]

can upgrade to any seat that isnt verified resale basically on the map right? i forget their exact policies on that

[dapper karma]

yeah I upgraded to a platinum seat

I assume it's any section row or seat

[flat rock]

tysm for the info! lots of decent floor seats on there rn, really considering an upgrade, wanna wait but not sure how much further it will drop

but if it really just takes the price difference of what i paid already, not bad at all

[umbral flint]

You wanna buy my ticket for 100 bucks? I just upgraded @flat rock

[flat rock]

whats ur old seat

[umbral flint]

Sec K Row 1 Seat 10

[flat rock]

i think ive found closer seats but ty tho

[umbral flint]

[tight acorn]

oh hey

[umbral flint]

[tight acorn]

are yoou going to this concert too

[umbral flint]

Ye

Got vip too

[nova shell]

Is there like a thread where I can try and sell my tickets for this concert?

[dapper karma]

#buy-sell-trade need collector role in #role-picker

[gilded badger]

Something about being the last stop makes me really happy.

I hope we can give them a great final stop and make them super happy

[somber elk]

Me too. I better not see USbits giving them trouble again

[flat rock]

im always used to LA being like the first or one of the first stops

hopefully the whole tour goes well once it gets started, they only deserve the best despite the numerous issues

[somber elk]

That's how I feel about it too. Don't want the girls to feel frustrated everytime they come to the US. At least LA hasn't given them much trouble it seems

[nova shell]

I really need to sell my tickets ;-; ticket master has such ridiculous platinum prices

😭

[feral depot]

Only 1 month away ☀️

[nova shell]

I know I need to sell them

[umbral flint]

You’re gonna have to take an L if you want them gone my friend

😭

[nova shell]

Ya I know that's why I put the price as negotiable

I'll go down to $400 for both if I have to

They both have insurance anyways

[umbral flint]

Lemme ask Sid again if he wanna split with me

[nova shell]

Ight

[flat rock]

what are yall planning to wear to the show

im looking for some shirts on etsy, theyre alright, im sure there'll be merch on-site but idk if i want to wait for disappointment

[dense orchid]

Prob just a tee and pair of pants

Maybe a light jacket if it’s supposed to be chilly lol

[outer whale]

In Oct? No shot

[dense orchid]

You never know

We had a freakin tropical storm warning here just a few weeks ago

[umbral flint]

Gotta wear my faded ass loonaverse hoodie

[somber elk]

I'm wearing bootleg merch I bought at the Loona concert last year

[umbral flint]

No shot

[outer whale]

I'll probably just wear last tour shirt

My custom-made one are kinda too small now

[somber elk]

As we were leaving the venue some guy was selling t-shirts outside for $10 and my sis got one for me. No better opportunity to use it

[gusty burrow]

i’m doing a flip that inspired outfit

specifically these dresses (1st pic) https://images.app.goo.gl/aqvTuFNLCjtYfthGA

[slow cairn]

So how do you all upgrade seats then?

Y’all just buy another ticket and refund the other one?

[dense orchid]

You gotta contact Ticketmaster and tell them

They’ll swap out your seat for the new one you want and you pay the difference plus like a $10 change fee I think

[native skiff]

and it has to cost more than your current seat right?

[dense orchid]

Not necessarily. Say a seat that’s closer drops way low to like $100 but you paid $120 for a nosebleed. Pretty sure they just charge you the $10 change fee and you upgrade to the new seat

That how it works from my understanding but you can always call them to make sure that’s how it works

[native skiff]

oh hmm, yeah that's diffrent from what someone told me as well as what it says on their website.

but i hope you're right!

[dense orchid]

Cuz like there’s no difference to pay if the seat you’re upgrading to is cheaper even if it’s a better seat you know what I mean?

[native skiff]

right, i'd hope so

but tbh nothing currently available is a clear upgrade from my own seat, so i guess it doesn't matter

like some are closer but then too far off to the side

[feral depot]

I'm gonna wear a black t shirt and khakis , my gf said she's gonna wear her "so what" outfit

[dense orchid]

https://vxtwitter.com/idolflashdrive/status/1699813213116740023?s=46

FYI on how to go about upgrading your seat for those interested

[slow cairn]

So I have to call ticketmaster and have the seat ready

Ight

[nova shell]

I still have my tickets I'm willing to sell them both for $400 it's section D row 2 seats 9 and 10

People someone just take them from me cause I can't go

😭

[flat rock]

just exchanged my tickets and have questions for anyone else that did, are yall able to add the new ticket to your digital wallet? im not sure if we're supposed to, they did tell me to just show the receipt over at the event and theyll take care of it but was wondering if yall had any different experiences jk i got it now it was just processing i guess

[dapper karma]

yeah while they were doing the exchange it was showing the new seat and old seat both greyed out, once it was finalized it let me add

Hoh. Maybe there'll be an LA one the day after concert

[open blade]

I hope 🤞 so

[wild finch]

Anyone got cheap or free LA tickets 🙏

[marble leaf]

I'll get that 1:1 email any minute now....

[dense orchid]

Hmm so apparently you can’t “upgrade” to a closer seat if it’s cheaper than your original ticket price? That’s pretty lame

[solemn bane]

i wonder what the odds of winning are considering how the show sold

i’m worried too about the soundcheck cause they said it’s only 10 minutes in between doors opening and it starting

[marble leaf]

if there's only like 100 people in the vip >.> and I had a 50/50 of getting the 1:1..

*ms

[solemn bane]

i’m so excited for the 1:1 photo tho

i wonder if they’ll let me hold my sign i’m bringing

[flat rock]

did that email yall got include any info about like what time general door opens and stuff

also surely we gettin on-site merch of sorts right

[solemn bane]

[ Time Table ]

15:00 VIP CHECK-IN

17:00 VIP DOORS OPEN

17:10–17:25 SOUND CHECK

18:00 GA DOORS OPEN

19:30 - 21:30 SHOW

After show : HI-WAVE & GROUP PHOTO & 1:1 PHOTO TIME (Winners only)

in another email they also said that the VIP check in is in the "designated area" so i guess we'll have to find it day of

[hardy thistle]

we'll probs see it first when the people in NY post pics of it lmao

that happened with aespa too lol

[native skiff]

yeah i was pissed about that too. dunno why they have to rub it in that we overpaid

[flat rock]

tysm!

[gusty burrow]

being the last stop is a blessing and a curse

[dense orchid]

I love being the last stop

100x better than being the first imo (in most cases)

[flat rock]

definitely new to me but yeah it does seem like last stops are nice

so used to being the first

[somber elk]

Genuinely curious, what are the advantages/disadvantages of being first or last?

Never knew it made much of a difference

Interesting, gonna be nice to have experienced first and this time last

[open blade]

Agreed 👍 I’m so excited Imma spend so much money that day tho

[gusty burrow]

i’ve never been the last either so it’s new to me too, but i really want to avoid spoilers so i’m a bit sad that i’m not following the tour like i usually would do

especially the month of their debut 😅 but still excited and glad that we’ll be able to send them off

[native skiff]

heh i actually prefer spoilers

so that's the upside to me of being not-first

last can be an issue if the schedule is too gruelling and they're worn out or worse, but i don't think that'll happen this time

[solemn bane]

same

i’m happy we’re the last cause all the cool stuff they add as the tour goes on, we’ll have

but man this wait is gonna be killer

one of my friends got to take the 1:1 photo for today’s show and holy hell i’m even more excited

[native skiff]

it's funny because k-fans are like we are seeing them last, but LA fans are seeing them second-to-last so it's not that different lol. like normally i would've seen a music bank stage for now

(i could watch a fancam but it doesn't feel the same)

[outer whale]

Still no word on any possible fansign for LA

[flat rock]

to people driving in where yall parking? on-site is so expensive but a cheaper lot is a bit of a walk in inglewood no less

[autumn perch]

https://www.parkwhiz.com/kia-forum-parking/loona-1362025/?view=list

I've personally used the 323 N prairie parking several times and it's great if you're willing to walk

The dilemma is figuring out parking because VIP check in is at 3pm and vip doors open at 5pm but currently booking parking ahead only allows you to park after 4.30pm

[dapper karma]

oh good to know i already shelled out for on-site parking

[flat rock]

thanks! thats the one i was eyeing, dont have to be there early myself so ill go ahead and book a spot there ty

[autumn perch]

Good thing about park whiz is for some places you can book now and cancel anytime before the entrance time with no penalty. It's what I do if I want to go to a concert at the forum or sofi but don't have a ticket. At least I get the parking covered in case I find a cheap concert ticket last second 🤣

[outer whale]

Thx for the reminder Spotify

[dapper karma]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LOONA/comments/16pe4k0/loossemble_the_us_debut_ceremony_los_angeles/

[umbral flint]

[somber elk]

Ik it may seem like an odd question but does the show actually start at 7:30 or is that just when doors open? I've been to concerts before where the "start time" is actually just when doors open. Or I've also seen the show time and open doors time listed separately

[dapper karma]

@somber elk

[somber elk]

Thank you!

[sturdy pilot]

Will they still be selling VIP at the show?

My friend is under the impression he missed his chance

[flat rock]

they seem to be doing it at every show so far/up to this point so hoping it continues cuz thats what im planning to do

maybe can reach out to fromm as well but not sure what their responsiveness is like

[dense orchid]

They have been selling VIP on-location the day of the shows for past shows

[dapper karma]

if anyone was holding off on buying tickets

[dense orchid]

Wow

[flat rock]

50% is crazy

[fathom jay]

Are the floor seats worth it if you're short 😭😭

[flat rock]

i mean i guess it depends just how short but within a first few rows is typically okay i think

thats also assuming you dont sit behind a tall person though lol

[fathom jay]

Section A Row 8 🙏

Just praying I have a decent view

[outer whale]

quite a gamble. only take 1 tall guy in front of you to ruin your view lol

[gusty burrow]

it’s so soon!!

i’m kinda anxious about it and i’m not sure why

[outer whale]

Understandable.

[flat rock]

can’t wait

[marble leaf]

so its really gotta be a clear bag? and only clear bags are accepted >.>
gonna have everyone window shoppin my merch haul xD

[flat rock]

last time i was there they were pretty adamant on that yea and most venues are if they have that rule in place as far as my experience goes

[slow cairn]

Bout to take my gundam bag

Going to see if I can upgrade

[feral depot]

Hey everyone, how are you all feeling ❤️

[somber elk]

It still doesn't feel real to me yet honestly. The excitement tends to not kick in for me until the day I'm actually there

[flat rock]

getting excited for sure

been looking forward to it more and more as we got closer

[slow cairn]

Anyone has the number for Ticket Master?

I'm going to try to do an exchange

[flat rock]

800-653-8000 is the number they gave me after going thru the chat bot

they also say theyll just call you but better to get to them directly instead of waiting

[slow cairn]

Yeah I filled out the chat bot

But rather do it directly

[slow cairn]

thank you so much

[slow cairn]

Just did the exchange

Section C, Row 11 gang

Honestly had to pay $20 more

I was thinking on getting one that was posted for $400

But eh, Im already balls deep

[golden stratus]

Anyone know if the merch line is going to be outside or inside the venue? Trying to see how early I should arrive tomorrow

[dense orchid]

Can’t believe the show is tomorrow

[somber elk]

I know the hype is starting to kick in 🤩

[dapper karma]

Got an email today saying the terrace opens at 5. When I was there before they had merch outside but I'd say check tomorrow

[outer whale]

probably depends on venue. for Oakland it was inside.

[rose trail]

Do you think I’d be able to take my Lightstick pouch? I wanna bring it but if I can take it inside then I’ll just leave it lol

[somber elk]

I think the only bags they let in are clear ones and like small hand-sized ones like wallets/tiny handbags

[flat rock]

finally our turn to see them

[somber elk]

I'm feeling really excited now I hope I can sleep 😂

[somber elk]

Here are the specifics

[rose trail]

Ty!

[slow cairn]

YALL TAKING THEM CAPES OR NAH??

[somber elk]

If I had one I would

[flat rock]

i tried to find a cape last year for kcon but couldnt find one (reasonably priced)

doubt things are too much better rn

[somber elk]

Prices will only get worse over time since BBC is practically defunct at this point

Unless like, ARTMS or Loossemble would come out with their own capes

[rose trail]

Yesss 🤭

[fathom jay]

this might be a dumb question but can we bring our nintendo switches to the venue or no 😭

[mint forum]

xd

dont think security will stop u for that

[dense orchid]

Yeah I don’t think that’ll be an issue lol

[somber elk]

Idk I guess it kinda depends on whether or not they consider it a type of tablet? If you can bring it without the controllers it might pass off as a large phone? But it's up to your/their interpretation of the rules ig

Though I guess technically there's no rule against handheld consoles specifically so you could use that your advantage lol

[gusty burrow]

i can’t sleeeeeep 😭

i’m flying out early tmr morning i am so excited

[fathom jay]

Yeah that's the problem 😭

[somber elk]

I'd say if you don't mind the possibility of having to go back to your car to put it away you can definitely try. It's not like they're gonna grab it and throw it out

Like they did to my pocky and water last year 🥲

[somber elk]

Or maybe tomorrow morning you can try contacting them to clarify? They must have some kind of customer support number or chat

Otherwise just try it and see what happens 😆 In my experience the thing venues are most annoying about is food and beverages

[fathom jay]

Ahh that's a good idea, thank you so much 😭 I just really don't want to deal with any avoidable complications

Trying to get my hands on one of the signed albums 🙏🙏

[somber elk]

Ooo good luck!

[elfin zodiac]

I'm sorry that this is the wrong energy to bring.. But if I see any selfies with loona at Universal 😅 it's the end for my life

My unbelievable luck..
I saw them..
Waved and said hi and they said oh hi back
The manager said no pictures and they all kept walking........

[dense orchid]

Aww well at least you got to see them! That’s really cool

[elfin zodiac]

I will never have that opportunity again.. And honestly I'm struggling to come to terms with that 🤣

[dense orchid]

Never say never

[somber elk]

That's pretty normal though. Doubt anyone was able to get selfies with them at Universal cuz the managers will never allow it. That's just how things are and being able to say hi to them in person is already so lucky!

I think the reason they do that is a mix of ensuring the girls' safety and also making sure that anyone who gets a pic with the girls pays for it the proper way 😂

[hardy thistle]

yeah i wouldnt feel too bad about it, if managers are anywhere near they wont allow it and the idol wont risk it even if they want too

i saw wjsn there by accident a few years ago, cheng xiao wanted too and was going too but the manager stopped her

probably for the best. if it goes up/makes the rounds people will come look for them at the park

[gusty burrow]

omg :0 that’s so cool that you saw them!!

[gilded badger]

vip Check in at 3 right? Just confirming

[mint forum]

[somber elk]

[subtle niche]

They're always selling VIP

[mint forum]

Ima uber there xd

[solemn bane]

that’s what i’m wondering cause even the floor is pretty empty

but i have no idea how they’d even do that

[slow cairn]

Why is everyone pulling up early? For merch?

I thought the floor was seats

[hardy thistle]

Merch mostly

[slow cairn]

Oh okay,can someone buy merch for me? Im going and will pick it up depending where you’re at

Wait

They posted the merch right?

Anyone know if they’re selling hats?

[dense orchid]

Don’t think so

[slow cairn]

Dang

Well at least good? I didn’t like the last concert hat

[dense orchid]

Also for pricing of most merch

• hoodie - 70?75??
• sweatshirt - 60
• shirt - 45 or 50 depending on what you buy
• signed platforms - 30
• acrylic light stick- 30
• photocards - 15 (only one type so no need to get multiple)
• city keychain - 20

[slow cairn]

Washed it so many times and it still made my head itchy

[dense orchid]

This is from Houston show chat

[dapper karma]

the urge to get a hoodie as an LA resident

[slow cairn]

Need to rep that hoodie in 90+ weather

[slow cairn]

What did VIP grant you?

Do you know?

[solemn bane]

soundcheck, hi wave, group photo, and I got the 1:1 photo with them so I won the raffle

[mint forum]

I'm wearing a hoodie rn and im.melting

[solemn bane]

ah hell nah not in today’s weather

[mint forum]

Kekw

[somber elk]

Congratulations on the raffle!

[wild finch]

I have two extra tickets for sale please someone get off my hands

Wait does anyone know where general parking is
And can we bring our water bottles

[flat rock]

if you bought the parking off TM, entrance should be here: 3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90305. i think the prairie lot and kareem lot entrances as listed on google maps should both be open, but ive always used the prairie entrance

also their website states sealed water bottles only

[wild finch]

Ok thanks sm

[solemn bane]

thank you!

[mint forum]

I heard the forum has a spot for ubers

[gilded badger]

Is there a time window for vip like could I arrive at 3:30 and be ok?

[open blade]

I’m excited ! less than 2 hours until we get to la

Do the vip signed albums sell out fast ?

[stone kite]

Last minute but let me know if anyone's trying to cop a cape, lightstick or lighstick pouch. Got too many of them sitting around.

[mint forum]

Try to be there earlier

[gilded badger]

Okay ty

[solemn bane]

anyone there able to see where the VIP check in is gonna be?

[elfin zodiac]

Alsoooo is it outside waiting?
Gonna be high 80s to 90s the whole wait before the show..
Vip check in two hours before the vip doors open.. 🥵🥵🥵

[mint forum]

make sure u bring water

[outer whale]

^disposable water bottles

[outer whale]

most likely is outside venue waiting

it's harder to facilitate check-in and stuff inside. more staffs required.

[outer whale]

hopefully no1 is lining up this early just for soundcheck. I'd give yourself a 10min buffer room to find the line and you should be good

[mint forum]

pretty sure they'll move everyone to the floor there's stll a lot of spots open

[outer whale]

back of the floor may not be better (viewing angle-wise) than the raised upper sections

I doubt they'll have security gated the floor entry after the show started though since we have no GA

[elfin zodiac]

Pleeeease 🙏 there must be shade

[mint forum]

doesnt look like there's shade when i was looking up the kia forum lol

[somber elk]

I hope we can move to the 100 sections instead cuz both me and my sis are short and need the raised seats 😂

[mint forum]

anyone at the forum yet

my ticket only says floor now

wtf

Ubering there rn poggies

[slow cairn]

Sheeeet

My ticket says section x row x seat x

I’m sitting or standing in that spot

Gonna be damned if it’s all standing

[spice folio]

[elfin zodiac]

There's actually a decent breeze..
But once we're all bunched together...

[slow cairn]
