October 20 - Toronto - Coca-Cola Coliseum

[humble quartz]

I’m literally so excited! I can’t wait to meet you all 😊 I hope the weather does cooperate

Also other people may be able to speak to this better, but I don’t know how close it is to food places. So if people are coming early make sure to plan for that or bring snack/food with you 🙂

[foggy cypress]

I'm not 100% sure but I'd imagine their concession stands will be open (but not until doors open of course). Another thing to keep in mind if you get food at the venue, it's probably gonna be $$$.

[green matrix]

Does anyone know what time would be good to come if you plan to line up for merch? I have reserved seats so but I do want to buy merch but idk how early I should go:(

also does anyone know how to get to the colisseum from union station lol

[dusty drum]

I'd say before the doors open but also if you have the time the day before it'll be cheaper to get the merch at the pop up

The second part however I cannot help you with

[green matrix]

ah okay thank you!

[dusty drum]

Np!

[foggy cypress]

You can take the Lakeshore West train from Union Station one stop to Exhibition Go station (about a ten minute ride). Then walk through the underpass to get to the opposite side of the station/platform 4. The venue is about a three minute walk from there, you can't miss it. I'm also getting there from Union Station.

[green matrix]

Ooh okay thank you so much!

[craggy bridge]

I’m VVIP too

I’m section FLR-B, row 1, seat 10

[humble quartz]

FLR-C, R 3, S 1 for me

[last star]

Is there a fan project banners and if so when will the banners be handed out? 🥹🤍

[sour musk]

i know there was a plan for a banner but i haven’t seen anything recently

[last star]

ohh okay! thank you!!

[sour musk]

i’ll definitely see if i can find anything for you!

[last star]

thank you so much!!

[humble quartz]

Did I see somewhere that we’re to be bringing a rose for one of the songs?

[dusty drum]

I think so? I think it's for You're Beautiful

[humble quartz]

Okay perf!

[sour musk]

did all vip’s and up get the email??

[humble quartz]

Yup!

[wild saffron]

Yes

I'm here with a reminder that I'll be handing out these banners on a first come first serve basis. I plan to be at the venue at 3pm and handing them out until gone or 5pm latest. Location will be updated on my account the day of.

[ivory void]

We have some extra banners and freebies from Eric Nam's concert yesterday. I know there's a lot of crossover in the fandom. Wondering if anyone wants one as a keepsake? I can bring some of the extras to the pop up or the concert Friday with the flag.

[wild saffron]

I'll take one, but I'll be at the pop up near the end 😅

[ivory void]

I'll see how long I hold out. Depends on the weather.

[warm oxide]

I’d love one if possible 🥹🥹🥹

[ivory void]

I'll have some with me wherever I'm with the flag for the Rose. Ask and I'll happily share.

[blissful briar]

Id love one too!!

[blissful briar]

I feel like crap, I just scammed and that’s just killed my motivation to do anything anymore 😭😭

I wanna arghhhe

$100 down the drain

I could really use words of comfort rn 😭😭 i feel like an idiot

[ivory void]

What happened?

[blissful briar]

could I dm you more about it?

[mighty pond]

Yes! My friend and I missed out on the Eric banners. Seems like not everyone got one

[craggy bridge]

We have to bring a flower?

[ivory void]

Sure. I'm going to bed soon, but I'll continue tomorrow if I fall asleep.

[ivory void]

We expected more people to be lined up earlier. Got a bit anxious when event staff started bringing out stantions to divide the line so loaded the extras back into the car.

[craggy bridge]

Any clarification on the flower thing please?

[mighty pond]

That's fair!

[west panther]

Guys

My rose buddies

Have you guys planned your concert outfits yet? I don’t know what to where

[foggy cypress]

I have my outfit picked out. I changed my mind about ten times, but I finally decided on the simplest outfit. All black, because I heard the guys had asked fans to try to dress in the theme of either dawn or dusk. I'm thinking of doing my eye makeup with the colors on the new album cover too.

Also... it really does look like it's gonna rain for a lot of the day, and @untold kettle said yesterday the arena was pretty cold, so I kept that in mind as well.

[craggy bridge]

Hello?????

Why is my question being ignored?

[untold kettle]

@craggy bridge its regarding this message. i haven't seen it shared much since it was posted, so most people probably aren't aware of it and couldn't answer your question.

[humble quartz]

Thanks for also clarifying it for me! I knew I had seen it somewhere but couldn’t remember!
Also sorry for the late response @craggy bridge

[frail sorrel]

Can someone confirm these infos?😅
The friend I will be going with is not on this chat, So I just want to make sure I give her the right information 😀

Dress code: Dawn or Dusk Album inspired (Venue is apparently cold) (It will also be raining that day)

Bag Policy: Small purse type bags smaller than 16.5cm x 11.5cm (6.5”x4.5”), with or without a handle or strap – small clutch bag(Website)

Flag signing: starts at 2 pm until maybe 5 pm(VIPS have the flag so they have to enter early)

Concert Banner: 3-5 pm (Only 1000 banners so first come first serve)

concert starts at 8 pm

[humble quartz]

Sounds about right to me! With flag signing there might be a chance that it stays out longer than 5pm if one of the organizers is not vip

[frail sorrel]

Oh Great! Thankssss

[uncut jackal]

Oh ya for those coming to the pop up on Thursday, I'll have a couple of freebies (not a lot cause I'll be saving some for the concert), u can either pick between a fanmade photocard, black rose ribbon, or a bracelet (that either says dual or the Rose), it's first people to find me/spot me will get one

If u are also giving out freebies and want to trade let me know and I can see if I can set some aside for u

Feel free to DM me

[ivory void]

It's now confirmed that I will be at the pop up with the flag for people to sign as close to 4pm as I can (traffic willing). I will also have extra freebies from Eric Nam's show for those that want them.
I will likely be outside the pop-up on the sidewalk.

[dusty drum]

I have a question

Why is Toronto so confusing?

[ivory void]

What's confusing you?

[dusty drum]

Everything 😂

[ivory void]

That narrows it down. Lol

[dusty drum]

I'm sorry 😂

[ivory void]

If you have questions, you're welcome to dm me.

[ivory void]

I don't have freebies for this concert (other than the flag project) but I'd love to meet up with you at the pop up. I got your cards at Erics and they're so cute!

[uncut jackal]

Glad u got the cards~ Sadly I didn't have enough to give to everyone TT

[ivory void]

https://www.officialtherose.com/pop-ups
In case anyone else is like me and trying to confirm the address for the pop-up.

[dusty drum]

I will definitely!

Also I just got out of lightupk and it's awesome!

[uncut jackal]

Just wanted to note, looks like the pop up starts at 3pm instead according to the Alley's IG story: https://instagram.com/stories/thealley.ca/3216432652138422782?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Also ends later at 9pm

[ivory void]

I don't have ig.

But I can aim to be there for 3 if that's actually what's happening. My timing that day is somewhat squishy.

[uncut jackal]

Ah I would share the picture but I'm not high enough level yet

[ivory void]

Can you dm me? I think I can post it.

[uncut jackal]

Ah kk

[dusty drum]

Here

[uncut jackal]

Lol we are both on 30% left on our phone

[dusty drum]

Oof 😂

[steady fog]

I’m just praying everything isn’t sold out by 8

[dusty drum]

Me too

[steady fog]

7:30 is probably the earliest I can get there

[craggy bridge]

I emailed the coliseum just in case regarding the flowers

So if anyone is bringing flowers, you can

[nova turret]

Hi! When do doors open on Friday?

[ivory void]

VIP checkin is no later than 5:30.

based on the email they sent out. So general doors should be later than that, but I don't know exact timing.

[nova turret]

Okay thanks

[untold kettle]

doors usually open an hour before show starts so maybe 7? we'll get the email from coca cola coliseum tomorrow

[humble quartz]

Did everyone see Woosungs tweet thread with BM yesterday over the BTG light stick?

[stuck iron]

YES! pls did you also see his one with epik high??😂

[humble quartz]

Yes!!! Im in the process of making a picket that references it

References the BTG

[stuck iron]

omg amazing

[worldly zodiac]

Hi anyone has an idea how long the concert is?

[dusty drum]

It says its 8 to 945?

[potent timber]

usually kpop concerts r 2h

so that sounds about right

[dusty drum]

Unless you're seventeen and decide to aju nice for 4 hours

🤣🤣

[potent timber]

I think they managed to cut aju nice at 2 in toronto luckily

[dusty drum]

Booooo

[potent timber]

i would happily aju nice forever in a loop with svt

[dusty drum]

Me too

[dapper canyon]

I dont think my legs ever fully recovered from the aju nice-ing in toronto LOL

[worldly zodiac]

ok thank you guys for your answers because we need to catch the last megabus at 23h30 I was worried we wouldn't have enough time

[potent timber]

defo me neither LOL

[dreamy tiger]

HAHAHAHA

[untold kettle]

question for those going to the pop up or in general i guess: what is your favourite drink at the alley? i want to get something while im there but apparently they stopped serving the pompompurin drinks (my fave) on sep 30 😦

[lucid sparrow]

has anyone been to the venue before and know where merch will be? I can’t attend the pop up and all the shirts are sold out online I’m hoping I can get something before the concert starts tomorrow

[untold kettle]

it should be in the hallways where you enter for your seats, where the food and beverage stands are

heres a pic i found of jackson's merch setup from twitter https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvewhOhWcAAeIHG?format=jpg&name=large

[lucid sparrow]

Thank you so much!! 🙏

I hope everyone who attends the popup today has fun 🌹

[modern chasm]

I’m pretty basic, so my go-to is the iron goddess milk tea. My friends like the royal no. 9, which kind of taste like choco covered blueberries.

[uncut jackal]

I like the Royal No. 9 that's my go to cause I like blueberries

[ivory void]

I got here early for the pop-up. Anyone around want to hang out?

[humble quartz]

I’m here, I’m just chilling outside since it’s full inside the alley

[uncut jackal]

Oof it's already full before the pop up even started yet?

[humble quartz]

Line just started. It was full of people waiting haha. They just sent everyone out to line up

[uncut jackal]

Lol

[dapper canyon]

Oh dang

[ivory void]

I'm in line. I have the flag with me but I also want to get merch.

Can anyone at the front see if they are setting up yet?

[humble quartz]

Can’t tell yet but no one has gone in

[desert oasis]

is the line long?

[ivory void]

It hasn't hit the next side street yet.

[uncut jackal]

Same not gonna be there till like 4:30ish-5pm, I'm hoping there will be Dawn hoodies left

[west panther]

The alley said it starts at 3

[uncut jackal]

Can someone post the prices once they get inside? I want to be prepared lol

[west panther]

But the rose said 4 I believe or vise versa

[humble quartz]

Will do!

[ivory void]

I'm realizing I'm possibly the worst person to do the flag solo. The anxiety over talking to complete strangers is horrible.

[humble quartz]

I’ll definitely come sign it after don’t worry!!

[west panther]

NOO. YOUR THE BEST.

I’ll be super nice ☺️

[ivory void]

I'm standing here wondering how to ask the people in line around me if they want to sign while waiting.

[humble quartz]

Totally get it! I’m probably going to stick around a short bit after I buy stuff. once you’re done I can walk down the line with you and we can ask people if you want

[west panther]

Are you closer to the front or back?

[ivory void]

2 storefronts back from the round alley sign.

Big red shopping bag.

[dusty drum]

Just an FYI we are about to hit the next street

[ivory void]

I saw that.

[foggy cypress]

Happy concert eve, everyone! And have a great time at the pop up to everyone who's going!

[dusty drum]

I may or may not have resorted to sitting on the ground

[desert oasis]

have people started going in?

[dusty drum]

Uhhhh

I'm not sure but I haven't moved

[humble quartz]

No I don’t think so. Guessing it really was a 4pm start haha

So like…….. merch isn’t here because truck broke down

And it’s not happening

The guy that works the alley is coming down the line to tell everyone

[lucid sparrow]

Oh no what!! I’m so sorry

[dusty drum]

Yeh just got it

[uncut jackal]

Oh no like not at all

TT

I was just about to head out

[dapper canyon]

Oh no!

[grizzled gull]

oh so it's not happening at all?

[hot yoke]

Toronto Black Roses:

Due to unforeseen circumstances out of our control with customs clearing, today’s pop up event in Toronto has been delayed. We are still checking on the feasibility of today’s event, and will make another announcement as soon as possible.

Should the event be held, we will only be accepting exact change in cash.

We are so sorry for the inconvenience.

[steady fog]

This happened last year for the lightsticks

Merch couldn’t make it to the venue. Are we cursed?

[west panther]

Delayed for another day or time wise?

[untold kettle]

rip canada vancouver didn't get theirs either

[gritty helm]

I heard the truck still in us or smth

[ivory void]

Where should we be checking for updates?

[dusty drum]

Twitter

[scenic fossil]

The alley posted on ig that it's canceled 🥲

[hot yoke]

all the social media channels and I’ll be updating here as well

[foggy cypress]

Oh wow, that really sucks. I wonder what that'll mean, if anything, for getting merch at the concert tomorrow.

[maiden sigil]

If it does happen, would it possible to post up the price list so we can make sure we have exact cash when we get there?

[gritty helm]

:((

[hot yoke]

I will ask the team

[lucid sparrow]

omg same I hope there will be merch at the venue 😭

[lucid sparrow]

did they not have any merch or just the pop up?

[hot yoke]

Just the popup

[lucid sparrow]

oh okay, I’m really banking on venue merch, I’m so sorry for everyone who made it out today just for it to be cancelled ❤️‍🩹

[gritty helm]

thanks for the freebie whoever was handing them out 🫶🫶

[west panther]

Ya!!! You were so nice! And the person getting the flags signed, YOU WERE AMAZING

[sour musk]

thank you for bringing it out for me!!! I’m so glad it got to people even though the pop up was canceled. i am still not in toronto but will be in about an hour.

[spice vale]

any update for the popup?

[hot yoke]

Toronto Black Roses:

Unfortunately, we have cancelled today’s pop up event in Toronto due to circumstances outside of our control. We are so sorry for the inconvenience, and are looking into rescheduling the event for tomorrow, October 20. A new announcement will be made when the timing has been finalized.

Thank you for your patience, and apologies again for the inconvenience.

[untold kettle]

naur its probably gonna be during work hours then right 😦 rip to us 9-5ers

[ivory void]

Rumour from the alley is that the truck is at customs and won't be released until 10am tomorrow.

[dapper canyon]

Canadian customs is really be picky with concerts 😭

I went to one last week where the merch arrived half way into the concert 😭😭

[ivory void]

Don't know why they don't send the truck the day before to cover their asses. It's the cost of a hotel room for the driver.

[sour musk]

Me and my mom were just discussing that. It’s crazy

[untold kettle]

reminds me of that wendover productions video about concert tour logistics haha

[ivory stirrup]

Hi guys! I know this is last minute and a very long shot, but is anyone willing to buy a couple of tshirts and ship them my way if I send money? I can PayPal or e-transfer. My silly self didn’t pick up tees in Vancouver and now I’m kicking myself!

[grizzled gull]

If they reschedule the pop up for tomorrow or there's merch at the venue, I can get them for you

[fallen gazelle]

Omg I didn’t see this and went today 😭 the alley was an hour drive

[humble quartz]

Noooo that’s the worst!!

[fallen gazelle]

I dont think i can go back when it’s rescheduled too 😭😭

It’s okay tho I’ll just buy merch at the concert

[humble quartz]

Same, I drove from Kitchener-Waterloo for it. So I don’t think I’ll be able to go (depending on time)

[ivory void]

I wanna say thank you to those of you that cheered me on through the anxiety of starting to talk to people to sign the flag. Once things started, it was easy, but it really helped to have you sending me positive vibes. Y'all are great!

[still shuttle]

Will there be flag signing at the venue too?

[ivory void]

Yes. I'm aiming to be there around 1 to see where we can set up so it's not in the rain. Others, including the banners I believe, will be there at 2.

I probably won't have the flag out at one, since I want to get my bearings for where we're lining up and such first.

Not sure how late it will be out. @sour musk and I are both vv/vip with early entry. Depends on if there's someone to take it over that can get it back to ash in the front row.

[sour musk]

We have to be checked in before 5:30 so i was going to try to have it available till 4:30-5 myself. Until i found someone who can somehow get it to me

[ivory void]

It would likely have to be someone with tickets in our same section, otherwise the ushers might not let them into that area.

I'm hoping to get some merch, if I can (and if the pop-up doesn't get rescheduled), so I sort of want to go in as early as I can.

I don't know when the doors will open for early entry, just that 5:30 is the absolute latest we can enter and still make sure we get the sound check perks.

Unless someone from the group lines up (if there's a line up) while we do the flag, and then we can join the line when it's time. We're all gonna be there around the same time.

[west panther]

I have balcony tickets, I don’t even know what kind those are. When should I go?

[ivory void]

I assume that anyone that doesn't have early entry (ie. one of the v/vv/vvvip tier), that the doors are the standard time that is listed for the show (I think it's 7 for an 8pm show?).

But, as with Eric's show on Monday, they may start doing things like checking id's in line for a drinking bracelet and such.

And if you want merch, you probably want to be close to the front of the line for entry, so you can be earlier in line for merch inside.

[craggy bridge]

I will be early af tomorrow

[ivory void]

Made my rose for tomorrow.

[untold kettle]

thats so cool! 🥺

[ivory void]

I was going to make tissue paper ones to share, but if it rains they won't survive.

[fallen gazelle]

I’m so excited

[hot yoke]

Happy Concert Day

[worldly zodiac]

Happy concert day everyone! I'm so excited for tonight! Have a safe trip to anyone traveling 🙂

[modern chasm]

Happy concert day, everyone!

I made about 50 crochet black rose keychains to give away, but I won’t be able to make it to the pop up (if it’s happening) and I probably won’t be at the venue until 7. 😢 If anyone is near Nathan Philips Square and would like one, feel free to dm me!

Stay warm! 💜

[quaint atlas]

it's tonight !!

[calm zinc]

Did they announce to pop up would be happening today?

[calm zinc]

I would absolutely love one so I hope I see you before you run out 😭

[modern chasm]

I didn’t see any announcements on IG yet. 😕

[calm zinc]

I’ve been checking Twitter as well and didn’t see anything 😭 I just want to know if I need to be in line for merch at the venue or not

[modern chasm]

I’m in Section 110, Row EE (first row), seat 1 - I’ll try to save a few, so come find me!

[calm zinc]

I’m in 101 so I’ll try to find you! If you have a few extras I know my two friends would love them as well!

My friend also has freebies so we will save one for you!

[modern chasm]

Hahaha we’re on opposite sides of the stage. 😂

That’s amazing! 🥺

[calm zinc]

They are in 108! So they are closer

Can I add you on discord and we can find each other after?

Or if you have Instagram?

[modern chasm]

Of course!

[tawny pike]

Hii!! I’m going to the show alone tonight and I’m kinda scared of talking to ppl but I’ll be in section 109 and have a few bracelets I’d love to give out 😊😊

[uncut jackal]

Good Morning~ I'm in sec 116 I have bracelets, rose ribbons and photocards to give out

[dusty drum]

Morning!

[modern chasm]

The fandom is super nice! Sending you some courage and positive vibes! 💕

[frail mica]

I’m in sec 101 as well

[calm zinc]

Omg I have to find everyone so I can talk to them 😍 and what row are you in?

[charred goblet]

Oooo I'm also in 109!

[frail mica]

Row F

[still shuttle]

Happy concert day!!
I’m also going alone and I’ll be in flr-b row 1

[calm zinc]

I’m in ee I’ll look for you to say hi!

[slender leaf]

Hi guys!! I’m sec C row 2! I’m going solo as well 😁 (I’ll be in an orange bear sweater, come say hi 😆 ❤️)

[foggy cypress]

I'm in section 109 too and going alone. We can be buddies if you want!

[foggy cypress]

Me too!

[maiden sigil]

Omg! I’m in sec 116 as well!!! Hope to see you there.

[ivory void]

I'm sec c row 5. I'm behind you!

[craggy bridge]

Yes olease

[steady fog]

What time will you be there?

[slender leaf]

Yay!! I’ll look for you 😆

[steady fog]

Section C row 4 here

[steady fog]

Ohhh you’re behind me

[ivory void]

Yep.

[slender leaf]

😆!! I’ll be on the look out for you!!

[ivory void]

If you're there before the early entry, come look for the flag signing. I'll be there.

[steady fog]

I have very few bracelets too. Was hoping to make about 50 but life got in the way and could only make about 30 of them. I’m VIP though so will be going in earlier. If you’d like one, come find me.

[slender leaf]

I’ll probably get there around 2:30-3 since I’m doing Uber 💀

[steady fog]

I have no idea what I’ll be wearing yet but most likely all black. I have braids (dark blue ones)

Box braids that is

[ivory void]

I'll be there for sure by 2. Trying to get there early to see if there's a good spot out of the rain to do the signing. There's a bunch meeting up at 2.

[slender leaf]

I have some print outs you can have! 😆

[steady fog]

I’d love one and can save you a bracelet too!

[slender leaf]

Sounds good!! (Can I add you on discord?)

[ivory void]

I'll also have the extra Eric Nam freebies, for anyone that wants them. If I don't offer, ask.

[steady fog]

Do you have a bias? Or you’d like one that says either dual or the rose?

[slender leaf]

Yay thank you! (Can I add you on discord too?) (the rose would be great thank you!!)

[steady fog]

I won’t be there until about 4 I think. It’s a rainy day, don’t like being out

[steady fog]

Yes of course!

So Coca Cola Coliseum is kinda weird

And there’s doors in different areas if I remember correctly

So question is…should we like find a general place to just chill until about 4:30? So it’s also easier for like flag signing and stuff like that

It’s in the exhibition grounds so we could possibly find a place to chill

[stuck iron]

does anyone happen to know if a lululemon belt bag would be too big to bring tonight?

[uncut jackal]

I'm hoping to be outside the venue around 5:30pm, I know doors open at 7pm, I might grab something to eat before going in, but will be handing out a few Freebies before I grab something to eat

I have work till 4pm TT

[ivory void]

I'm heading out very soon so I can scout out areas to meet. I'll let people here know if I find somewhere close and sheltered.

ash will let people know on ig for the group that's meeting at 2.

[steady fog]

Okay!

[ivory void]

Oh, and a heads up for anyone not familiar with the venue, there's no nearby cafes or stores to get food, so if you're coming early, think about bringing a snack.

I'm going to see if I can scout the nearest washroom that's open when I get there too.

[warm oxide]

I’m also in 110!!! I’d love a rose too so I’ll prob also try to find you lol

[slim yew]

In section 109 as well and going alone too…

[wild saffron]

Google maps had a starbucks near by...is that not gonna be open? 😅

[slim yew]

Great suggestion! The closest food and drink is at liberty village which is north of the go train station

[ivory void]

I think everything is outside of the cne grounds, so it can be a bit of a walk.

[sturdy cloud]

does anyone know how strict they are with the bag policy? i have a small backpack bag (9"x7.5") that i wanna bring, i've brought to other shows/venues and it was fine, i just wanna make sure

[ivory void]

Or it's inside the fleemarket foodcourt, which I don't think is open today.

[warm oxide]

on that note I have a couple of phone charms to give out :) not very much as I didn’t have time until last night to make some but feel free to find me 🫡🫡

[ivory void]

Anyways, I'm out and on the road now. Will update when I get there and have details.

[slim yew]

Agreed it’s definitely a 20 min walk from the venue at minimum

[ivory void]

See y'all there!!!!!!

[modern chasm]

Stay warm and safe everyone!

[stuck iron]

i have a bunch of bracelets to give away and would love to trade! section 110, row A, seat 1!

[modern chasm]

I’d love to trade! I’ll lookout for you 🙂

[untold kettle]

at least it seems like the rain should end by 4 🙏 stay dry guys

[stuck iron]

yay! i’m wearing a black long sleeve and green cargo pants☺️

[ruby plinth]

Anyone knows around what time the soundcheck is? Im the only vvip on my friends so im kinda scared to be late. I saw that we need to check in before 5:30 if we dont wanna lose our perks

[untold kettle]

and rip to the pop up i guess with no announcement its well and truly dead

[foggy cypress]

I called the venue the other day, the bag policy says no bigger than 6.5"x4.5" and they said backpack type bags are the ones they're more strict on. If you can bring a small clutch bag instead, I'd recommend that over the backpack.

[ruby plinth]

Tbh im not even surprise 🤷🏻‍♀️ they canceled vancouver's too

[potent timber]

I saw that they don't want straps- but if the strap is on the clutch bag it should be okay right?

[wild saffron]

Bag policy says with or without handle or strap

[potent timber]

sighhhhh this is so inconvenient </3 no kpop concert I've been to has ever been so strict :(

[jagged hazel]

Happy concert day folks!! I’m going alone today, first ever kpop concert. Looking forward to seeing everyone around the venue, maybe make some fwends lol. Anyone of legal age planning to get some predrinks?

[foggy cypress]

My bag is a wristlet that I put on a purse strap so I could wear it as crossbody. It's 7x4 and the person I talked to at the venue said it'd be fine. She said they'll mostly eyeball the size, and a clutch or wristlet type of bag is preferable. She said no backpacks or large purses.

[olive bolt]

I bring a bag with a strap that goes over my shoulder and I've never had issues, it is a clear bag tho, in the email it says small purse type bags with or without a strap.. they just don't want the large canvas shopping style bags or backpacks

[potent timber]

my strap is detatchable, so I'm hoping that if they stop me I can at least just detatch it and they'll let me go... :/

[foggy cypress]

The strap will be fine, mine also has a strap and the woman I spoke to said it's fine. They basically just want to make sure you cannot hide a firearm in your bag, to be honest. It was funny, I told her I could barely fit my phone it my bag and she said, "that's perfect!"

[pastel vortex]

I bought 100 glow sticks that goes as bracelets at Dollorama 😂 so if you want one, while I still have some, I'll give some while waiting for the concert 😊

[foggy cypress]

That's so cool. I'd love a glow stick if I get the chance to get one from you. I don't have a lightstick, so that would be my little contribution to lighting up the area lol.

[modern chasm]

You gave me a good chuckle. 😂 As someone who’s definitely not the youngest person here, I was humbled almost every time I opened this chat 🥲

[potent timber]

let me know what area you'll be around the venue! My mom and I only have one lightstick between the both of us so If we can't nab another one then that would be great <3

[tawny pike]

Oooh yeah that’d be great!

[pastel vortex]

No probs ! I'll let you know when I get there 👌

[potent timber]

finishing my midterm on the train on the way to the concert rn LMAO wish me luck guys

[jagged hazel]

LOL. I found out on Reddit that this discord thread exists. Spent the morning downloading the app and trying to figure out where the heck a “thread” was 😅

[sturdy cloud]

anyone else a vip?

[tawny pike]

Ahh we should meet up!

[modern chasm]

Yeah, we’re not old. Let’s blame it on discord. 😂😬

[dapper canyon]

I feel you i wont be there till 7 either bc of work😭😭

[potent timber]

to be fair, even my 19/20 yr old classmates struggle with discord LMAO I just happen to be a gamer 😭

discord is overall confusing haha

[olive bolt]

Me!

[sturdy cloud]

highfive! what time are you getting there?

[jagged hazel]

Does anyone wanna connect over email? Outlook is super user friendly lmao jks

[potent timber]

i have beef with outlook 😭 gmail user all the way

it's always laggy with my school stuff haha

[still shuttle]

Damn my data just ran out LMAO

I’m going with no internet just vibes jk

[modern chasm]

Sorry, bbm ONLY 🤣

[jagged hazel]

Haha that’s reassuring. Best of luck on your middy btw!

[vestal charm]

from my experience with the venue they're not very strict, so long as it isn't a big bag or a backpack you should be good

[olive bolt]

By 5 hopefully

[sturdy cloud]

well, its backpack shaped, buts its like a mini backpack lol

[vestal charm]

that should probably be okay? maybe just don't wear it like one when going through security😆

[olive bolt]

Is everyone bringing their lightsticks?

[sturdy cloud]

nice, i'm shooting for 4-4:30. this'll be my first soundcheck
and yes, i'm bringing mine!

i can change the straps on it, so maybe i'll just do that lol

[foggy cypress]

I DMed you. I'm in row G.

[pastel vortex]

We are like... 4 people here, no one is sure if we are lost or not 😂

[dusty drum]

I am

[slim yew]

For sure! I’m in Row H

[dusty drum]

Is anyone in section D? 🥺

[foggy cypress]

I'm one row before you, in row G. I DMed you and @tawny pike.

[slim yew]

Like you definitely not the youngest person here 😁

[foggy cypress]

^^^ lol me either, by the way.

[dreamy lance]

Hey there! Is anyone know where is the line up for the non vip? Help please 🥲🙏🥀

[dusty drum]

I do not know where

[ivory void]

I'm suggesting meeting up at the heritage court entrance where we're supposed to line up. There's lots of areas that are covered here. @sour musk

[pastel vortex]

Here, if it can help 😂

[dusty drum]

@ivory void hey I DMed you a question if that's okie 🥺

[sour musk]

that works perfect!! thank you so much

is it raining out there?

[pastel vortex]

Nah ~

Well it rains...ish ?

[sour musk]

even better!

[pastel vortex]

But you can wait safe from it

[devout plank]

i’m in the same boat omg…i’m gen z but trying to learn discord for the first time made me feel like a boomer haha. hey everyone and happy concert day 🥳 🎶

i’m now in section 101 if anyone is nearby and wants to say hey!

[ruby plinth]

Anyone vip/vvip going alone? My friends are ga and it makes me anxious going alone ahah

[wild saffron]

I think a lot of us are going alone. I'm in VIP, but I won't be in line right away since I'll be handing out banners

[ivory void]

The email from the venue said to line up as per the gate listed on your ticket. I don't know if there is a separate line for vip or if we just go early through our gates.

[ivory void]

I'm vip and solo too.

[wild saffron]

Yes, VIP+ was told to go to the Heritage Court Entrance for check-in and line up for sound check

[frail mica]

Where is the gate number on the ticket. i just have the sec row and seat number listed.

[pastel vortex]

I think they sent e-mails to let people know where to go ?

[foggy cypress]

There isn't a specific gate. I called the venue yesterday to ask a bunch of questions, and that was one of them.

[frail mica]

I just checked the email coliseum sent out and no mention of gate number. TM email had the general guidelines on download the app load your ticket to wallet etc.

[pastel vortex]

Oh. It was not sent by the coliseum, but by the rose TA but it was an e-mail for VIP and + I guess ? I thought they might have sent one to GA too ?

[ivory void]

Email from coliseum

[warm oxide]

my ticket entry info just says no reentry haha

[ivory void]

I got email from rose re vip, email from coliseum, and email from ticketmaster re use the app.

If you click on the ticket info, beside the button for view barcode, it lists entry info.

[ruby plinth]

Wanna meet up?

[ivory void]

Sure! We're all here just collecting people around the flag that came solo.

[worldly zodiac]

I emailed them this morning because my friend mixed the units and brought a 10 inches bag instead of 10 cm and they said that in the worst case there is a bag check for 20$

[sturdy cloud]

ahh.. okay, good to know 👍

[green matrix]

Does anyone know what time the merch will open? I am going early but not sure still

[vestal charm]

would anyone who plans on lining up early for merch be willing/able to try and grab a lightstick (and maybe one or two of the scarves) for me (I probably won't get there early enough to grab one🥲)?

[vestal charm]

If it's inside the venue only, than the same time doors open

[green matrix]

ahh got it

[ivory void]

There's a table being set up inside the building but outside coliseum. No idea if/when it would open, or even if it's for the rose.

Fingers crossed though.

[craggy bridge]

I’m at union on the go train abt to arrive there

[wild saffron]

Oh, I'm on a go train too, just departed

[stuck iron]

me too!

[wild saffron]

We all on lakeshore west?

[craggy bridge]

Where

[wild saffron]

From Union

[craggy bridge]

Where are you

[still shuttle]

I’m at union and scared

LOLjk

[wild saffron]

On the train

[craggy bridge]

If you’re on the train, let’s meet up at the station exhibition

[wild saffron]

Ok haha

[craggy bridge]

Where ON the train

[wild saffron]

Uhm i think car 239, doesn't matter that much...we're gonna get off soon 😅😅

[potent timber]

when do doors open?

[vestal charm]

7pm

for everyone that doesn't have v/vv/vvvip anyway

[frail sorrel]

will the venue allow umbrella inside?🥲

[desert oasis]

they should

[gritty helm]

so no popup?

[calm zinc]

They never announced when or where it would be so my guess is no

[gritty helm]

noooo

[uncut jackal]

TT

[still shuttle]

Is there a place to pick up for the banner project yet?

[wild saffron]

Yes...lemme post on twitter and then share the link cuz I cant send photos in here

But we started handing them out to people already here

https://twitter.com/CdnBlackRose/status/1715447167123439620?t=lNfemr_6eRWXBTnvUqty-g&s=19

[pastel vortex]

I still have some glowsticks bracelets to give out ✨️ I know it's not much, but I think it's still fun 😊 I am wearing a leopard jacket ~ feel free to come see me if I haven't seen you !

[modern chasm]

The banners look awesome!

[wild saffron]

Thank you!

[modern chasm]

So sad I won’t be able to keep one as memento this time around 😭

[pastel vortex]

Banners are really cute indeed !

[frail sorrel]

Are there still banners left?🥹

[wild saffron]

You might still be able to get it if you come later... it seems most people are coming later

[modern chasm]

😮 thanks for giving me hope! 🥹

[potent timber]

yeah im coming late, i dont think ppl without vip have a reason to go that early LOL

[wild saffron]

Yep 😅

Are there other entrances for non VIP?

[uncut jackal]

Do u think they would allow the uniqlo moon bag in?

[maiden sigil]

Is anyone at the venue that can ask security if point and shoot cameras (not DSLRs) are allowed in the venue?

[blissful briar]

hey guys, one last question but would you seat in a section like 102 or 110 🥺? Trying to make last minute decisions

[maiden sigil]

They have me on hold for 30 minutes

[uncut jackal]

Like it's a little but larger then the bag policy size

[blissful briar]

Cause I’m worried that 102 will be too sideviewed

[maiden sigil]

They should. I haven’t seen them be super strict on bag policy regardless of their policies as long as it’s not a super huge bag or backpack.

[wild saffron]

Did you check the FAQ already?

[devout plank]

i used this site to make my decision, it’s super helpful with the photos from different sections 😊 https://aviewfrommyseat.com/venue/Coca-Cola+Coliseum/seating/concert/

i bought my ticket last minute too haha i’m in 101!

[blissful briar]

ty so much!!

[untold kettle]

i think if they have a similar stage setup as this then you would still be able to see at 102 but the view would be more of a side one https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/974399352816664609/1165015754702327828/IMG_1975.jpg

[maiden sigil]

It’s different for every event

[blissful briar]

to be closer to the boys or to get a better view… it’s a hard decision to make 😭 ahhh thank you!!

[untold kettle]

no worries! for what its worth i think 110 would still be a fairly good view since the venue is quite small! there's also some standard floor seats that opened up if that's in your wheelhouse at all

also PSA to remember to clear ur phone storage before the show tonight haha (me, deleting videos of the rose from last year to be able to have room for videos this year)

[wild saffron]

I don't see any security by the door to ask 🥲

[maiden sigil]

It’s alright. They usually come out last second..

[blissful briar]

Hahaha, laughs in 64gb storage

[calm zinc]

Is the flag still going to be there around 5? I’m heading over now but won’t be there till about 440

[light halo]

the way I almost boarded the lakeshore east train instead of west

[desert oasis]

literally me almost got in the wrong streetcar lol

[jagged hazel]

Soooo drinks? Lol 😇

[blissful briar]

my go train just arrived too haha

Coming from Ajax ^ ^

[potent timber]

I’m section 100! if you want a bracelet lmk and I’ll try to find u and describe what i’m wearing later when i arrive :)

[light halo]

I’ll be in sec 108!

[desert oasis]

anyone from vip check in already?

[wild saffron]

Nope, no one has come out to organize or check us in yet

[light halo]

We’re all just kind of big mosh of vip and regular

[maiden sigil]

What time does VIP go in?

[wild saffron]

Not sure

[maiden sigil]

😮

[devout plank]

wonderful tyyy 😄

[wild saffron]

Lots of banners still available, someone in GA will be helping hand them out after I go in

[open hamlet]

Hey all, just have a quick question, just wanna make sure before I go over. Are we allowed to bring lightsticks?

[gritty helm]

is it standing floor seats

[wild saffron]

It's all seated

[last star]

ah hopefully my friend and I can get one! We will be there around 7 tho

[calm zinc]

Did they update any thing about merch? Or is it just going to be inside when the doors open

[wild saffron]

It's set up right inside the doors

[maiden sigil]

Please anyone upload a price list if possible. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏼

[wild saffron]

Ok

[maiden sigil]

Thank you Kim.

[uncut jackal]

I'm here

Anyone want freebies

[lilac yacht]

do yall know if lightsticks from other groups are allowed?

[calm zinc]

Me!! We have freebies too

Where are you at?

[warm oxide]

i do 🥺🥺

[potent sapphire]

Wait so regular/non-VIP don’t enter from the heritage?

[wild saffron]

Yes, they've separated us now by ticket tiers, just ask around

[uncut jackal]

In the ga line

Walking down

I have a mustard beanie

[foggy cypress]

I'm at Union station and want to get a bite to eat but the lines are sooo long lol

[untold kettle]

if you are ok with mcdonalds u can skip the queue using their app and theyre usually pretty quick with it

[uncut jackal]

I'm out of ribbons rn, my friend has the rest of them

[foggy cypress]

Is the line at the venue already long? Wondering if I should get the next train now

[untold kettle]

or pick something quick up from kibo sushi

[wild saffron]

Lots of people here already in separate lines based on ticket tier. They're checking VIPs and giving out the lanyards atm

[frail sorrel]

Hello, can someone send again the schedule of the concert?

[lunar seal]

Is there a pop up store today?

[wild saffron]

There's merch inside but no news about popup

[lunar seal]

Oh OK thanks

[uncut jackal]

I'm near the front of the merch line if u want freebies

[gritty helm]

where is the box office

[fierce maple]

how early should one be if we’re not in ga? 👀

[wild saffron]

What do you mean not in ga? If your any of the VIPs, you need to be here now

They're almost done giving out badges

[jagged hazel]

They have a street meat vendor here

[blissful briar]

Is the flag signing finished?

[slim yew]

After the concert for sure lol

[blissful briar]

Is there a non-vip entrance?

[wild saffron]

Not that I know of, everyone is lined up at the same entrance

[steady fog]

VIP just went in

[wild saffron]

I heard there's more than 1 merch table

[frail mica]

I just got in line is anyone still handing out banners in ga line?

[dusty drum]

There is a Ga line

It goes to the green doors

[frail mica]

There is one big line outside

[dusty drum]

Now yeh

[wild saffron]

Yes someone is handing out banners, the box is also under the big red LED sign

[calm zinc]

Anyone get a picture of merch that’s in vip?

[wild saffron]

Forgot...

[dusty drum]

They have everything as Vancouver

[calm zinc]

Same prices too?

[little crater]

A decent amount of stock ?

[calm zinc]

Does the sweater look good quality? Like last year?

[frail mica]

Thanks I just got one thank you :)))

[wild saffron]

Merch prices:

• Hoodies $100 each
• T-shirts $55 each

I think it's all the same as Vancouver, so then:

• Bags $45
• lightstick $85
• album $35

Only saw 2 hoodies and 2 T designs

[slim yew]

Thx

[wild saffron]

I just got info albums are $40

[lucid sparrow]

Which t shirts are there do you know?

[west panther]

I’m in line, but idk where to pick up the banner 😭😭😭

[frail mica]

I saw her walking the line 15-20 mins back she is not under the led sign anymore

[modern chasm]

Same here 🥲

Does anyone spot where the banners are currently? 😅

[untold kettle]

they might have run out since there were only 1000

holy moly this is a giant line

https://tenor.com/view/detective-pikachu-pikachu-pokemon-angry-frustrated-gif-21719143

[gritty helm]

Security still won't less us in

[wild saffron]

Soundcheck and Q&A just ended

So I'm assuming they'll let everyone else in soon

[gritty helm]

I take it back people r going in now

[little crater]

For people lining up, end of line is by the Exhibition GO stop

We walked alllll the way around to end up back where we started basically to get in line 😂

[wild saffron]

Omg 😲

[untold kettle]

thats why im sitting on this rock until i see the end of the line reach me AHAHA

i figured theres no point making the whole loop

[warm oxide]

hi i was wondering if you had any left 🥺

[edgy lily]

Is anyone in now??

[modern chasm]

I just got inside! Yes!!

[warm oxide]

[modern chasm]

Okay! Sorry I’m not at my seats yet 😅

[warm oxide]

[potent sapphire]

Does anybody know if the sweather is thin?

[edgy lily]

Form the pics it seemed quite thin

But if they r a 100 bucks maybe not ??

[stuck iron]

[modern chasm]

I have about 5 left!

[steady fog]

[modern chasm]

[modern chasm]

Yesss I would love a banner!!

[steady fog]

[steady fog]

[west panther]

[untold kettle]

[modern chasm]

Hope everyone had a fun time! Thanks for the great vibes. Get home safe all!

[potent timber]

[sour musk]

if anyone has close up videos of jae taking the flag can you send them when you have time pls!!!

[blissful briar]

That was AMAZING

I didn’t expect 102 to be so close to the stage, it was right beside the stage 😭😭😭 Woosung came over so many times and waved

[steady fog]

I didn’t get a video but I do have some pictures

[steady fog]

I’m glad you ended up with a great section after all!

[blissful briar]

I wish I could’ve taken a video!! the moments stuck in my head though

[sour musk]

agh that work!!!

[dusty drum]

I sent you a short video that I had of it

[sour musk]

thank you 😭

[ivory void]

I'm kinda sad they took the group photo with a blank Ontario flag and didn't retake the photo with the signed one..

[worldly zodiac]

Have a safe trip home everyone! Thank you to the talented fans for all your freebies ❤️

[still shuttle]

I GOT DOJOON’S ROSE

He called me his bestie

[uncut jackal]

Thank you everyone that were giving out freebies~ And hope everyone gets home safe!

[steady fog]

Me too!

[untold kettle]

my shock when they pulled the ontario flag out LOL i was like i swear we signed a canadian flag though???

[dusty drum]

😂😂 my first thought was uh oh. Someone messed up because why???

[wild saffron]

I don't have a close up video, but I have a short clip of after he already took it

And now I can suddenly share photos and videos 😂

[dusty drum]

GAHHHHH why jaehyeong so cute tho 🥺

[lucid sparrow]

Thank you to everyone who made freebies and shared their photos/videos ❤

[lucid sparrow]

I was confused too like what flag is that 😭💀

I’m glad they at least got the signed one!

[untold kettle]

me i actually forgot what the ontario flag looks like and when i saw the union jack i really thought they got the country wrong 😭

[lucid sparrow]

SAME LMAO I was like huh?????? Oh- that’s cool … but where is the signed one 😭😭

[untold kettle]

i was tracking the status of the flag up until a staff member took it off jaehyeong HAHA https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/974399352816664609/1165162084774969375/E8A32E09-0973-4097-AC78-725121E56034.mov

[humble quartz]

The photo is a little smoky but I tried to quickly get a photo when Jae opened it up

[sour musk]

[foggy cypress]

What an amazing night. That PCD is starting to hit lol.

[last star]

[humble quartz]

Saaamee! We definitely got some quality content of him in our spot! 😩

[last star]

Hi everyone! I am not sure where to post this, but I was asked to do a press coverage of The Rose in Toronto yesterday and just wanted to share the article and photos with you all 🖤🥀

https://behindthebeat.ca/2023/10/21/the-rose-dawn-to-dusk-tour-toronto/

[dusty drum]

[vivid zenith]

Hi do we know when the pop up is rescheduled?

[steady fog]

Got lots of freebies and I wish I had more of my bracelets to pass around but only a few of those on the VIP/VVIP line got them! Loved all the freebies I got especially the crocheted black rose and the hair band?

Y’all are so talented!

[lucid sparrow]

anyone else feeling the concert depression because i cannot stop watching clips T_T can't wait for them to come back

[dusty drum]

Me too don't worry 😭

[worldly zodiac]

You are not alone! I keep singing the songs they performed

[dusty drum]

I was singing lifeline while unpacking today. I think it's hitting a little too hard for me today 😭😭

[wild saffron]

I should... but I have to find it 😅

[spice vale]

😭😭thank you!!!!

Btw the full q&a, soundcheck and fancam in Toronto all uploaded on my YouTube channel if you guys want to re-watch the concert😭😭😭🫶🏻

[wild saffron]

I'm confused haha, if you have the full q&a, shouldn't you also have video of that question?

[humble quartz]

Kind of off topic from the concert but in the heal album, do we know who’s handwriting is used for “time will heal us”?

[wild saffron]

Here's the clip I filmed. I was in C so too far to hear the question. Also I was trying to adjust the lighting of the video while filming...hope that's alright 😅😅

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NZhuGpWG3IjjA6SdmfDSpIHosHDWIab7/view?usp=drivesdk

[spice vale]

I cropped JaeHyeong when he was looking at my sign😭😭😭

[wild saffron]

Oh no 🥲🥲🥲🥲

[spice vale]

Thank you so much for the video😭😭🫶🏻

[wild saffron]

No problem~

[fallen gazelle]

Tysmm 😭 Woosung said he liked my outfit and I held back from freaking out

[spice vale]

Hajoon’s🫶🏻

[humble quartz]

Thank you!! 💕

[humble quartz]

The flag made it into the video 🖤🖤 I know @ivory void is in the video behind the flag with me. But let me know if anyone else made it into it!!

[craggy bridge]

The Ontario flag tho 💀
