[junior sphinx]

[heavy cedar]

Omg yeh I met him hahha

[north zodiac]

[heavy cedar]

His real name is Tom 🤣

[junior sphinx]

he was a few people away from me it was crazy

[junior sphinx]

ain’t no way FR?

[heavy cedar]

I didn’t even know who he was. I was like for context… who are you 🤣🤣

Also yehhh haha

[north zodiac]

set me free was so therapeutic, screaming that song with one and half thousand people was incredible

[heavy cedar]

He said he might go to the London shows since he lives in London

[summer hull]

STOPPP IVE NEVER SCREAMED SO LOUD IN MY LIFETIME

[heavy cedar]

Nahhhh RINA ALL THE WAY

🤣

[junior sphinx]

he looked at me so much in lifeline i’m not okay

[jolly ermine]

that was amazing omg😭😭

[muted shuttle]

Did anyone who went to this yesterday get a photo of the merch prices?

[stuck bison]

it was so hot in there 😭😭

[north zodiac]

after last night i’m gonna need a josh & stacey collab asap bc they slayed that cover

also the pcd is hitting so hard i already miss it 😭

[north zodiac]

cannot stop listening to this cover it was so so good 😭

[polar birch]

My view when he held my hand 😭

I’m so knackered this morning dear lord, can’t wait for a 7 hour train journey home aldjkdlajs

Those eyes I can’t

[turbid kindle]

This was my view when he came on the balcony

[polar birch]

Omg you were so close!!!

[junior sphinx]

HOLY WHOA WHAT

[turbid kindle]

I KNOW!! I still can’t believe it happened!!

[muted shuttle]

For anyone who bought merch last night. What was there and how much was it? So we can know for Glasgow. London

[junior sphinx]

the bassett hoodie was £55

and the t-shirts were £25 i think

[muted shuttle]

Tyyyy

[dry ledge]

did they sell out really quick?

[void violet]

Hoodie £55
T-Shirt £25
Beanie £20

[junior sphinx]

not really, i got mine just before stacey came on but loads of people got them after josh left

[dry ledge]

ok cool thank you

[muted shuttle]

I wonder if there will be a space between Josh finishing vip and folk being let in for GA so vip can go and see merch first

[polar birch]

Yeah there is!

[sharp bay]

For us in Hamburg we had a little bit of time. We first had to pick up our phone and as I was pretty early in line, I could be confused for a bit and still go get merch before GA came in

[polar birch]

There was enough time for us to get merch, go to the loo and get a drink 😊

[muted shuttle]

Were you at Manchester?

[muted shuttle]

Ty

[polar birch]

Ye!

[muted shuttle]

Ty! That's a relief 😅

For Manchester vip (since uk vip is different than USA)
Did they just come out and check who the VIP people were and you got to the front of the line? Or were all the vip there early lmao

[polar birch]

There were 2 lines, one for vip one for ga 😊

[sharp bay]

For us a lot of VIP people were early, but we were then put into a seperate line closer to entry

[muted shuttle]

Hope Glasgow does the same

I've never been to the SWG3 in Glasgow before so I have no idea 🥹😂

[sharp bay]

I think at around 12 to 1 pm we already had like 20-30 VIP

[muted shuttle]

Aight cos I'm thinking of going near 9/10 ish

[polar birch]

Some people got there very early for vip but you genuinely don’t need to. I got there at about 4.15 (our call time was 4.45) and I had a fantastic view

[sharp bay]

Yeah, you will most likely have a good view. I was in 2nd row, though I didn't need to, because I wanted to stand around friends and also I'm pretty tall and didn't want to block their view

[muted shuttle]

I wanna make sure people get a chance to take part in signing my fan project for Josh tho

[sharp bay]

Fair, fair

[muted shuttle]

I'm by myself 😂

[polar birch]

A lot of people are by themselves, I was. I made some friends in the queue !

[sharp bay]

Well we had a lot of people from the Discord so I wasn't really alone, but our's also wasn't really a queue, but rather a blob in front of the venue with everyone standing/sitting and chatting

[junior sphinx]

is it an english thing for our queue to be almost single file, like we queued so politely

[muted shuttle]

We did at Olivia last year but we were beside a main road

[junior sphinx]

and there was a gap in the queue which my stepdad tried to slot into and i was like NO and we went to the back

[polar birch]

We were kind of a blob in vip

[sharp bay]

No, it was in Berlin as well. ANd it also wasn't really chaotic in Hamburg and building the line closer to entry was also without really any problems

[muted shuttle]

I guess I'll find out tomorrow 😂

[next iron]

HELP was this the gap between the ritz and the scaffolding

[junior sphinx]

no there was just a random gap in the line where two groups were seperate by like.. 4 feet for some reason

[next iron]

that’s so ???

[junior sphinx]

fr

[next iron]

i know at points we had pretty big gaps bc there was like. 12 of us sat together

[junior sphinx]

but this was like 5pm when i got there the queue went pretty much the entire way around the building and there was just a gap for no reason

[next iron]

yeah

it could be that it was an entryway of some sort

[junior sphinx]

i don’t think so i think it was just like.. a wall i don’t really remember

[summer hull]

the hoodie was £55 the tshirt was £25, not sure about the hat

[next iron]

oh well

fair play for going to the back tho

[junior sphinx]

yeah i didn’t wanna cut cause that’s shitty

[muted shuttle]

I hope someone else said tshirt was 20?

[junior sphinx]

the hoodie is SO COMFY

[next iron]

they were selling dupes outside

that one cost £15/£20

[muted shuttle]

Ahh so legit ones are 25

[junior sphinx]

but the real ones were £25

[next iron]

yea

[muted shuttle]

Fairr

[junior sphinx]

honestly some of the dupes would have been good if they weren’t like.. really low quality

and the lanyards weren’t even TRYING to pretend to be real merch

[summer hull]

i suggest getting merch before he comes on, there’s a very small queue but after the queue was lining up almost outside of the venue 😭

[next iron]

actually the t-shirts and stuff were really good quality

[summer hull]

IT IS IM OBSESSED IM LIVING IN IT

[next iron]

i was impressed

[junior sphinx]

whatttt that’s crazy, i got mine before stacey came on fr

[junior sphinx]

oh the ones walking past me only had the lanyards and a hoodie that looked nothing like official merch 😭

[next iron]

yeah they were there from about 3pm

[muted shuttle]

Do vip get lanyards? Haha

[junior sphinx]

damnnn

[summer hull]

me too

[north zodiac]

literally, i’m gonna wear mine to dance today

although it’s a fake one the quality is surprisingly good

[junior sphinx]

i apologise to anyone who was near me 😭

[muted shuttle]

Mood tho

[native dagger]

I am awake and I Miss yesterday 😞

[north zodiac]

same 😭

i can’t wait for his next tour whenever that will be

[eager hollow]

IT WAS AMAZING LAST NIGHT

[muted shuttle]

I'm too fkn excited for tomorrow 😭

[eager hollow]

lucky you get to go to the one tomorrow

stop when he came up to the balcony and shook my hand i started crying

[muted shuttle]

BRUH IF I EVEN GET LOOKED AT ILL MELT

[junior sphinx]

i did melt it was crazy

this moment defined the rest of my life i think

[muted shuttle]

You should see the photo I got when Olivia looked at me 😭

[nova gale]

If you guys have any pictures you wanna include in the scrapbook for josh, you can dm me!🥺 I'm still able to print them out before going to London tomorrow🥰

[next iron]

i’ll have a look at what i’ve got

[native dagger]

Loml 🫶🏻

[polar birch]

Just got them through as well!

The signature ✌️

Ethan were you the one handing out cereal bars in the vip queue? 😂

[next iron]

genuinely why does he look like a teacher in a last day of school photo

[heavy cedar]

Hahahahah yess

Hate that I’m now now as the guy who was handing out cereal bars hahahah

[next iron]

OWN IT

that’s so good

offended that i didn’t get one (i was GA)

[nova gale]

That's so thoughtful though!!

[heavy cedar]

Lmao it was a last minute plea before they got binned 🥹

But I’ll be GA for London 2nd show!

Soooo cereal bars all around

[dry ledge]

the quality 😍

[north zodiac]

my little cousin was upset so i showed him videos of josh jumping around and told him it was spiderman and he seemed to find it cool

[native dagger]

LOL WHAT 😭

[north zodiac]

he was sad so my solution was josh. josh can make anyone happy :) and kids like spiderman too

[native dagger]

Loveee thattt 😭🫶🏻 so cute 🥺

[summer hull]

josh would play such a good spiderman smh

[finite monolith]

sorry to bother you all but does anyone have a video from different when he was walking round holding hands (from like the first side he walked on) my videos really bad bc i freaked out but i’d just like to see if anyone else got it

[finite monolith]

ahh the first on cut off just before he got to me

[delicate canyon]

Oh nooo!!

[finite monolith]

ahhh i was in the second but the camera turned 😣 does anyone else have any?

it’s around when he says and the truth is we might but if we do this thing right

[nova gale]

Oohhh see you there then!

[heavy cedar]

Yes see you there!

[finite monolith]

it was like 5 seconds after that 😣

[finite monolith]

did anyone you were with manage to get a slightly longer video? @delicate canyon

[candid crescent]

If any of you had vip, can you dm me? One of my friends got their question answered but didn’t remember what he said 😭

[junior sphinx]

i’m not letting this die idgaf

[proven gyro]

So... are any of you gonna see Sabrina in Manchester next month?

[turbid kindle]

[polar birch]

[proven gyro]

I got the read your mind vip for this one. Super excited for it

[polar birch]

Oooh exciting!!!

I actually have someone to go with for this one and they didn’t want to do the vip 😭 heartbreaking truly

[muted shuttle]

Any Manchester attendees up for coming on a podcast to talk about the Joshua show/tour?

[north zodiac]

i was considering it but i feel like i don’t know most of her songs well enough and would rather a bigger fan of her get those tickets. though the timing would be very convenient bc i take my last exam on that day

[muted shuttle]

hi ❤️ if any of u wanna come

[junior sphinx]

THATS SO CUTE I WISH I COULD GO

[oblique shell]

I wish I could but I'm busy sorry

[junior sphinx]

IT DISAPPEARED NO

as long as this chat stays on joshcord i can convince myself that it’s not over

[north zodiac]

real 😭

[summer hull]

I wish I could but I’d have to travel 5 hours again 😥😥

[north zodiac]

hearing the different bridge live>>>>

i already loved the song but hearing it live made me fall in love with it more

[junior sphinx]

this will never die

[north zodiac]

that mashup was so good

[junior sphinx]

i’m the person he points to in that clip

[upper swallow]

how have I only just found this

Manchester show was amazing.

[upper swallow]

was the fake merch a cream t-shirt with all the show dates on the back….

[woeful trout]

think there was a fake pink hoodie too

[upper swallow]

fr. best mashup

[upper swallow]

I have the t shirt and I’m obsessed with it idc 😭

[woeful trout]

think i’d have rather got a cream one than the green one they were selling inside hahaha

[junior sphinx]

if you got it outside then yeah, if you got it inside then no

[upper swallow]

damn my tickets were fake and I got fake merch.

[junior sphinx]

fake tickets???

[upper swallow]

want a storytime?

[junior sphinx]

sure lmaoo

[upper swallow]

sorry my battery died

right so presale sold out mega fast as im sure you know and I was absl devastated so I commented just that on the Instagram post, I got loads of replies offering to sell me their tickets

In hindsight, buying tickets off someone on instagram was not a smart move. I know that now.

So I bought them, I was always a little worried about whether they were legit as the ticket email looked different to ones I’d seen before and sure enough when we got to the front of the queue the scanner thing went red

So we went to the desk and explained everything and they tried to sort it out/find the person I’d bought the tickets off (I had the name) to see if they actually ever had tickets

Then (thank god, I will love her forever), a LOVELY lady tapped us on the shoulder and asked if we were trying to buy tickets, we said no and explained the situation + said we didn’t have any money to buy tickets then, she then said she had spare tickets she was willing to give us for free. I gave her such a big hug and I’ll always be grateful for her.

[junior sphinx]

oh that’s so sweet that lady is a legend
