Seeing the ticket struggle is ramping up my anxiety for the London show :x

good luck gurl! <3
it really is a shitshow

[sayuai.livejournal.com]

ikr? I watched a few videos on YT of ppl trying to get tickets, just to see what I could be expecting and it really stressed me out lol. At least I'm not going in totally blind when I try next month..

Me too :( I wish they'd just gotten Wembley for two days like Big Bang because I've never done the race for tickets thing and am convinced I'll mess it up (plus I'll feel guilty about the idea that even if I do get them someone else will have missed out, lol).

It's great that they're in such high demand but it'd be nice if they can finally manage to match the supply to the demand so people won't have to stress out so much! There are probably a lot of non K-pop fans that would like to see them but there is just no chance at this point.

same. getting mx tickets was stressful enough

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

I got Hamilton tickets but good god it was a shit show.

[laranal.livejournal.com]

same.. congrats! i ended up getting 2 sets! 1 on powerhouse and 1 on ticketmaster. i went for thursday show thinking it would be easiest but it was still a mess. gonna try to trade for NJ and eventually sell the others

That was the longest and most stressful 25 minutes of my life. Got tickets for the Hamilton show but upper level row 16. Hopefully I’ll be able to see the shapes of their bodies from all the way up there.

I went to see a band at a very large arena about 5 years ago and I was literally on the back row of the furthest section from the stage... my back was legit touching the rear wall at the top of the stadium. I could see way more than I thought i was gonna be able to - maybe my eyesight was super good that day

got p1 tickets for hamilton after 27 minutes!!! my life has meaning now

[laranal.livejournal.com]

same gurl!! i got 1 set of p1 in sect 121 and another 2 sets of P2 :o. for thurs 9/20.
whatd you get??

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

I decided not to go to the oakland show, i just dont care enough to feel FOMO i guess althought I’m sure they’re great live.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

same tbh I was wishy washy for a while since Idk if the shows i do want to see are even going to come near me but ultimately BTS ain't rly enough of my thing so I didn't want to add to the queue of people trying to get tickets.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

Ok this is srs biz. I'm ok if i can't get tickets, at least i tried.

[bethmai.livejournal.com]

i'm a little bit worried about the ticket sitch with London, but then again if i don't get tickets my bank account will be thanking me, cos the prices are extortionate. so swings and roundabouts isn't it.

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

Honestly might just try to kill two birds with one stone and see if they're hiring anyone to sweep up for the night

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Ticketmaster Tip - if resellers are way too far out of reach for you budgetwise and you don't mind being patient TM releases their press holds the day before/day of the show to ticketmaster so you could get a great seat (they won't be GA) for face value.

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

Yeah I was on my phone trying but I knew I wasn't gonna get any cuz I'm on vacation and I knew I wouldn't be able to convince my friends to stay home at 4 just so I can get bts tickets since they don't care...so I dunno if I'll get a chance to go this year.

[eomie.livejournal.com]

AXS sucks ass.

I had p1 tickets in my cart twice, but each time I couldn't get passed the login page so I lost out on tickets.

Guess I'll have to wait for next year.

[revedesnuages.livejournal.com]

I didn't get any Hamilton tickets because all of the ones under $200 sold out so fast :/ I've set myself a budget and I don't want to go over it, so I guess I'm not going.

[stellar-13.livejournal.com]

same, I wasn't going to spend more than $200 and I wasn't successful either. We weren't lucky this year but maybe next tour. ^^

Powerhouse was the company that brought SMtown to LA in 2010 and 2012. They did not spring for merch.

I choose to believe that they won't make the same mistake thrice, but fair warning to people who go to the shows that Powerhouse is involved in.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

I’m gonna STAY bitter that California gets 4 shows but at least my friend was able to buy us tickets for Chicago. Hmph.


I’m still going to check and see if prices drop on stubhub but at least I’m going to see BTS again!

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

anyone know if the whole powerhouse is going to stop scalpers from reselling at a higher price than resell the tickets closer to the concert thing is true? i see a lot of people mentioning it on tumblr which would be great but it does seem like it would be hard to accomplish?

i'm bringing my cousin with me because she loves bts and this would be her first concert she would go too - plus the day tickets went on sale was her birthday so that was an awesome birthday gift. thankfully i managed to get some, but i was such a nervous wreck that day, me and my dad both trying on computers to get in. i guess it was all worth it in the end, she was really happy when i told her the good news haha.

but no joke, i don't think i'm ever going to go to a bts show after this, if ticketing is like this right now imagine next year when they (inevitably) have another world tour...

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

you can check powerhouselive twitter. from what i remember, they are going to try to cancel scalpers' tickets. so anyone who bought resells from scalpers then their ticket would be voided. idk how successful that will be..

ah, well, next year bts might do a stadium world tour. they have enough fans to do it this year tbh but i'm sure venues were nervous/reluctant to sign off (stadium world tour for a korean artist, not something you hear everyday) and bighit has been cautious about tours too (bts haven't had a dome tour yet when it's been time)... hm we will see ~

We got in about 2:30 for the Hamilton show, waited and come 4 the site refreshed and hung up for a tad. The app wouldn't load anything at all, kept saying there was no tickets after loading for some time. The site only showed Platinum tickets for a period then some standard ones would come in but in small amounts and any time you clicked them they would go securing your ticket for like 15mins then come up with a cannot process at this time OR a fan already took them. Couldn't even get one day but at least a lot of people had this issue. Platinum tickets and scapular won again, one guy brought 12 tickets and are selling them at $1000 a piece.

I dont know if I gonna even attempt to get tickets for London as its gonna be a shit show, I'm still not over the whole mess of trying to get tickets for got7

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

glad you got tickets, op! i hope you'll be able to trade them :)

i'm going to day1 newark. later i'll try to buy resell for day2..

SO HAPPY I'LL BE SEEING BTS LIVE YET AGAIN. it'll be my seventh time, God, i love them so much.. ;_; <3 <3 <3

[laranal.livejournal.com]

thanks gurl! i feel so much better than saturday now
after talking with my bf though im not even sure ill trade. he was like should we just go to canada... its an 8-9 hour drive though + other travel expenses. i have family in toronto we could stay with but that's another hour north. idkkkk

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

I got a p5 ticket in Chicago 👊🏼 My brother was able to snag a ticket for me 🙃 it only took us 1hr and 10 minutes. This was a fucking shitshow. Both powerhouse and Ticketmaster suckkkkk. Ticketmaster is just as bad as those scalpers.

I want to buy tickets for my sisters but I’m not sure whether to purchase them from stubhub now or wait when we’re closer to the concert date :/

[lemonadetea.livejournal.com]

I've tried for LA dates and Oakland and so far have had zero luck. I'm not holding out much hope for the added show being any better. AXS got me to the front of their "line" and then crashed, and Ticketmaster would show me tickets and then tell me someone else got them before me EVERY TIME FOR TWENTY MINUTES STRAIGHT.

I'm full of rage.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

I got tickets for both days in Fort Worth, and it was a disaster //:

[stellar-13.livejournal.com]

I've never experienced anything like this for tickets...tried for 3 hrs trying to get tickets to their Hamilton show for my friend and I. I was not successful so I am really happy to hear that legit ARMYs were able to snag some tickets.
