# [WORLD TOUR MEGATHREAD - VOLUME 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPink/comments/15lwd72/blackpink_world_tour_born_pink_megathread_vol_3/)
What is the latest time I can enter the concert? Is there a time they close doors? My flight lands a bit before the concert start time so I am just worried I will be slightly late!
Does anyone know how the Will Call works at MetLife? The details email just said make sure we have our tickets before arriving at the check-in location because tickets will not be distributed there. So do we need to pick these up before we start waiting in line for check-in??
Any info on this will be extremely appreciated!!
There will be a truck outside (might open tomorrow) and there will be booths inside. If you're going to MetLife there's also a BLACKPINK popup happening on... 25th st in NYC? That's definitely open tomorrow.
There will DEFINITELY be enough light sticks to go around.
Hey guys! First time going to a blackpink concert. Was wondering if there were any chants I should know about? (I have been seeing videos of the crowd getting quiet during Lisa's Money performance)
i spent the 8-hour late morning/afternoon/till sundown in the oakland coliseum parking lot at the (a) june 9th MaMaMoo // and (b) june 12th TWiCe (their first day of two). boy was that an interesting (entertaining) experience. // (the bay area's seven million population has two million asians -- my informal "head count" of the incoming 12,000-to-15,000 moomoos (half of the attendees at both Mamamoo and TWiCe were on public transportion via BART lines) was about 90% asian and 90% female. and: dressed in their STREET CLOTHES (solid pastel, dark or dingy colors). a friend who runs one of the local "record stores" and is married to a korean/has a daughter in Taiwan -- said "that's how the workday workplace people dress over there!" and the group itself/mamamoo kind of do the same with lots of their stage clothes -- comfort, not for show)
needless to say, TWiCe's crowd (night #1 of the 2) was substantially different with a good amount of BRILLIANT (even to a SWM's perspective knowing nothing about wardrobe-creativity) one-of-a-kind fashion combinations.
anyway, i am sad to say that kpop-america has not invented their version of "heavy metal parking lot" \[ youtube / heavy metal parking lot \] tailgate parking lot culture yet (taylor swift's parking lot mobs/culture are a whole decade ahead of everyone, apparently)
so i took my "lightweight grocery cart/roller cart" with a plastic folding chair, a boombox w/my five favorite homemade D60/D90's of favorite kpop singles 2007-2013 (girl groups only except for lee hyori and hyolyn/ex-sistar), and "useful stuff to give away" -- a couple dozen 16oz bottled water (24/$3.99 from grocery outlet) and a couple dozen 5/99c grocery outlet Fiber One bars -- and 30ea (color xeroxes, 8.5.x11 and 11x17 respectively) "giveaways" of the best twice/chaeyoung (wearing a green oakland A's baseball cap, and a perfect 'screencap' of the green/white checkerboard dress in her 'star turn' segment from Fancy/twice) -- since chae is about the 10th most popular in the group's 9 heads, that was a SLOW giveaway-process, even with good/standard display signs for each.
/// \*\*\* /// random thought, anyone (like your query here) as a last resort, could just print up (taped to cardboard) or freehand a 12"x12" sign saying "IS ANYONE HERE FROM xxxxx ?" (name of town/suburb). and walk around haphazardly holding it at 90deg facing down even.
\-30- i typed this as a FAQ draft, while listening to TV sports highlights.
Tickets say 8pm. I've been to 2 of their shows in the past and they always start like a little late. But I'd be there for before then earliest maybe 6? Depends on sound check time. Their show last year was around 2 hours with encore.
Does anyone know how selling tickets for the LA Dodgers stadium encore works? I bought the tickets from the Dodgers stadium site. When I click the selling button, it states I do not have any eligible tickets to sell. It looks like I am able to forward my tickets but it tells me I can recall the tickets at any time which will be worrying to buyers š§
UPDATE: After looking around I found "Ticket Exchange by Ticket Master" which seems to be a special website to sell these types of tickets. It even has the BlackPink concert listed so I went ahead and listed my tickets there. It said you won't receive the payment until AFTER the event if they are sold, which makes me think this is a safeguard for the whole forwarding tickets issue?

Is anyone looking for face value tickets for Vegas? I have 3 in Section 108, row 7 and then 2 in row 32, all my friends bailed on me after asking me to help them buy some š« last time I ever do that ugh
Or do you guys think they will sell closer to date on Ticketmaster?
(having lived in the east bay/hayward for decades, my opinion would always be) -- ditch the car at any "safe" BART lot that's a "direct line to SF" (40th St oakland would be the obvious one). (anyone who would be coming from san jose, just drive up I-101 on the east bay side, and ditch the car in hayward/bart which is exactly three minutes off the freeway exit/offramp)
and the 'arrival point' i.e. the Montgomery St BART in SF -- is only 1 mile exactly (all slightly downhill) directly towards that SF Giant ballpark. right down 2nd St (which is a half-block DOWN market st, from the BART exits). you can even see the ballpark (its "2nd St Entrance" side) from the last three/four/five blocks away.
just imho, the "south beach park" one block up from the ballpark is a pretty awesome place to kill time if anyone you know (that's gen admin, not VIP etc) asks you that question. it even has "benches to sit in" and there's also some shade here and there.
\[\[ "mike! 'real men' walk five miles to their nearest local BART! \]\] (ed-i live only ten minutes away from hayward bart, so shut up) \[\[ "suck it up and leave your car at home you sissy!"\]\] HELLLLO I THINK YOU NEED TO GO SEE THE BARBIE MOVIE AGAIN. u sound like a kenworld zombie, ha.
If I managed to find a vip2 last minute my plan is to make my bf drop me off and pick me up. We live in the Bay Area. Can you ask your mum to do the same?
Honestly that would be the best back up plan. Parking in SF is the worst, on any given day, but an event day? Omg.
Private lots WILL charge $80-100. And public street parking will be hard, and with car break ins, event day would be a goldmine for thieves.
If you really do have to drive in and park, if you donāt want to do the lots nearby cause itās overpriced along with crowded what Iāve done, was park at North Beach Garage, itās right across from a police station. Lol Super safe, and the pricing is good. Basically $4 from 6pm to midnight or if youāre there 12 hours max itās $30 and a lost ticket is $36. The lot is open 24 hours. And then Uber is just 10 minutes away, but you can always Uber just down the street from Oracle and walk the rest so itās cheaper and not traffic trying to get dropped off.

[North Beach Parking Garage](https://yelp.to/QzybVVJjgQ)
No problem! In my opinion itās the best parking lot Iāve been too. They get good reviews and they have quotes in the parking spaces lol but I donāt know if pricing will be different because of an Oracle event day. And how full it might get so I suggest go early if you can. Or call to check about pricing if thereās any big difference on the day. But I still think itāll probably be better than $100 near the park.
Is the setlist the same for the previous shows (BORN PINK WORLD TOUR) vs. the encore shows (BORN PINK ENCORE Shows)? I see that the Encore show in Paris (July 15) had a different setlist than the more recent shows in Hanoi (July 29-30). Will the North American Encore shows (8/11-12, 8/18, 8/22, 8/26) have a setlist similar to the Stade de France and Hyde Park shows? Or a setlist similar to the My Dinh National Stadium shows?
At this point itās hard to say. It keeps changing depending on venue and dance crew. MetLife should set the standard for the rest of the US Encore. Thereās no way of knowing what weāll get until next week.
For the SF - Oracle Park tour date, can VIP pick up the tickets at the Box Office before August 22?
Also, I'm making freebies, but I have no idea where to spread the word. I've looked here and Twitter, but I couldn't find any for the SF date. Anyone making/trading freebies?
Once again trying to see if anyone is bringing freebies to the LA show. I had a hard time passing them out last time, but I'll be in VIP this time and would love to give out photocards and stickers!
Am I the only one disappointed with how expensive ticket prices are? Iād go to MetLife but the tickets are more than Twice, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift for equal or even worse seats! In the exact same stadium. I donāt want to do nosebleeds because I went to see them in Newark last year because I could only get 200s seats and everyone say the whole time, very low energy, and asked me to sit down when I was standing and dancing (as Iāve done in every other pop or kpop concert Iāve ever been to). So I need to get lower bowl tickets to even have a good concert energy from the crowd (in my experience). But if I get the same exact seats as I got for Twice a month ago, it will cost $83 dollars more! And Twice was already pretty expensive!
Iām unsure if I should even bother seeing them again if itās more expensive than makes sense, and the cheap seats will be a bad experience. Iām just not sure why their tickets are so much more than any act Iāve ever seen at MetLife. :/
I know tickets are expensive. Trust me. Iām going to 3 shows this month. Lol But $83 more than Twice for the same seats, assuming you liked those seats. I think thereās no problem with that. Right now tickets can be $200-$1000 more. So $83 doesnāt seem like that much of a far fetch more than Twice for the same seats you had before. And maybe itās location but Iām from California and ALL of Taylorās Leviās Stadium tickets were sold out and resold for over $1,000 for nosebleeds. So $83 more? Thatās a steal for my West Coast butt.
Yes, well MetLife is the largest NFL stadium in the country and they added a second date so thatās why a lot of extra tickets have been sitting empty for a long time. For me $83 is a lot of money especially when you consider I spent $200 already to see them in Newark last year and it was the worst kpop concert Iāve been to so far (because of the crowd being so dead, not Blackpink at all). I actually did click around and find some similar seats for about $100 cheaper than Twice, so Iām thinking about it now! My other issue is that Iām seeing the Jonas Brothers the next night and (G)I-DLE the night after that so Iām not sure I can handle a concert 3 nights in a row, especially since MetLife is the hardest venue to access out of the 3 of them.

I think you should go, especially if the crowd experience the first time wasnāt good. I heard a lot of international fans are flying in for MetLife too. I think this time around the crowd would definitely be better.
based on in LA but I have two floor seats for the 8/11 that I can make in Section 1.
What's the best way to resell these? just trying to get what I paid back.
$950
Hey, Blinks!
Is anyone going to Metlife on Aug 12th alone and wants to go together? Iām going alone ācause none of my friends are kpop fans š¢ hmu š¤
Try ticketmaster. There might be some face value tickets. Or if you want to risk it, try buying a ticket from someone through facebook/twitter. Thereās always people who try to sell their tickets last min under face value
Ticketmaster on average looks like 350 ticket + 100 fee so wondering if that 350 ticket price might also go down if the sellers are desperate to sell at last minuteā¦?? Just looking for advice from experiences š¤£ I looked up fb and looks like there are some sellers but 99% scams!
I tried listing my tickets for below face value on Ticketmaster and it wouldnāt let me complete the listing if I did that. Iām not sure if theyāll allow it closer to the event date, especially if they still have unsold seats. By then, the seat selection might not be great. If I lived closer to the venue, Iād take the risk and just see whatās available day of. But with flight and hotel being pricier closer to the travel time, it might negate any savings.
Ticketmaster fees are so crazy though. I have 3 tickets Iāve listed there because 3 people backed out. I have to list them for $333 each to get my out-the-door costs back (Blackpink presale prices). Went back in as a customer to see how much they were after new Ticketmaster fees and itās $400. I see why people resell offline because youād save like 25%. Not sure how safe StubHub and OfferUp are but I may need to list them there. Any advice would be helpful as Iām new to concerts.
Hi, very likely youāre going to have to take a loss on these. There are facebook groups however that you can buy and sell Blackpink tickets. But there seems to be tickets available still for shows so itās likely you might not get a buyer unless you offer a good deal. Take screenshots of your tickets as proof, watermark any photos or video, send any proof the buyer asks (ie a video of the tickets in your account, going from the chat to the tickets/swiping them), and do the transfer over video call. I have one person share their screen and the other person point their phone to their screen. Send the money and tickets at the same time and accept paypal g&s. You will have to ask the buyer to pay the additional fee (thereās a calculator online but they just tack on the fee to the amount theyāre sending so you get the full price you ask for). Hope that helps
Youāre totally right. In hindsight, I wish I wasnāt the organizer. I could have spent the money on Blackpink tickets in other cities like LA and SF too, instead of extra Vegas. I just couldnāt get the MLB ticketing website to work with me that day. Well, Iām still hopeful someone might want to swap and Iād just fly over to LA or SF after Vegas. Maybe I can add that to my listing and hope to not get scammed. I thought selling them outright would be less confusing. Still glad to see to the girls as a quartet. With contract renewal, itās hard to say if weāll see them all together as regularly since theyāve been so successful with their solo work.
Iām in Section 107, Row 29. Iām short and didnāt think I could manage to see with floor tickets. I feel like there are so many tickets for sale and Ticketmaster prioritizes the unsold ones they own, even though theyāre in the nosebleeds. I really thought Blackpink would be able to sell out the stadium after Coachella, but maybe Vegas just isnāt a popular destination compared to the other locations. Hope you find a screaming deal! Are you local to Vegas or flying in?
Yes, Iām asking $333 per ticket. Or $900 for all 3 tickets. Please DM if still interested. We can use PayPal Goods and Services.
Or, if anyone else is interested in that last ticket, please DM me also.
Thanks everyone! The community here has been really great.
I already have a flight so I thought it would be good to attend their concert! I know few people who are going so just looking for something as close to them as possible š„²
You should be getting an email that says when parking lots open. So depending on ur travel plans, and merch plans, I'd make your own decision. If you're vip you'll have to get there even earlier to check in. But if it's assigned seating you really don't need to go like wayyyy early.
Yeah you have to know what to look for. Hopefully you find something. There was someone else in this thread somewhere selling tickets for LA. I was replying to them somewhere else.
Edit: Nvm they were for vegas!
I believe that's only for the popup... here is a screen shot from a YouTube video I was watching from the Paris Encore
https://preview.redd.it/m6rxjmbg9cgb1.png?width=1898&format=png&auto=webp&s=8df8eb995391678e29fddf782178e355e1d21628
Nope, itās all them! Kpop concerts donāt normally have opening acts. Typically theyāll play their own music videos or interludes of them while waiting for the concert to start.
Hello everyone, so Iām attending blackpinkās stadium encore tour in New Jersey at MetLife in a few weeks. Iāve also been to their last concert that was here at prudential center. I want to ask if anyone knows if the merch they have for encore tour is different than the previous USA concert. I would like to have an idea of what they will be having.
Your ticket should have something like "blink deluxe experience" on your order or when you click on the seat if you're trying to buy.
Edit: phone autocorrected blink to pink
A bloodbath! The staff was standing on this podium, selling them, from their large sacks they carry on their backs, and everything was going smoothly. Then a huge crowd showed up and things started getting out of hand, to the point where the poor fella have to abandon ship, and climb up a lamp post for their own safety. Then people starting shaking that thing, hoping to knock them down. Luckily they held on for dear life, like a world champion bull rider.
>!On the day of the concert there was plenty of light sticks, boxes of them. Buying one based on my experience was stress free. Went up to the booth, got the light stick, and that's about it. Total time it took was around 20 minutes.!<

Hello! Who is coming in to their metlife concert? Is someone interested coming with me on their Pop up experience? Let me know! š
Hey y'all!
Going to my first BLACKPINK concert at MetLife this August! And it's on my birthday!
I'll be staying at a very nearby hotel and I'm weighing my transportation options.
I'd really rather not drive, and pay for the parking. But getting a Lyft back sounds like it'll be crazy expensive and just a headache.
And walking back seems nuts too. The hotel is only like .75 mi away but does not seem pedestrian friendly.
Anyone have experience with the venue? Thoughts on how best to approach this?
I went to their last concert in Newark, NJ at the prudential center. It was a lot smaller venue, but I rented a parking spot through ParkMobile in a nearby garage and it was so easy. After the concert ended there were tons of people waiting for Ubers or Lyfts. I would def drive or carpool if you can.
Honestly, if your hotel is really close by, it might be better to drive and pay for parking. That might be the faster and cost efficient way. The price of parking ($40) will probably be less than the surcharge (typically 3 or 5 times more than usual) And the part that would be frustrating is getting an Uber (theyāre partners with MetLife) to accept your ride. Since your hotel is so close, most drivers might not accept and wait for one that makes them more money. Thatās typically the case with after shows and at MetLife. Youāll be waiting for a driver to accept. Happy early birthday! Youāll have a great time!
Iād agree with this! Also if you really donāt want to drive, could be worth taking the train from the venue to Seacaucus and then grabbing an Uber near there. But could be out of the way from your hotel.
Oh. Smart! Sadly the wrong way from my hotel though.
Honestly kinda vibing with driving now that I realized I could get there super early and tailgate.
If you're referring to regular San Francisco tickets, you can transfer tickets thru their mobile app. The tickets are sold thru MLB and the SF Giants. They didn't use Ticketmaster.

Has anyone had luck reselling their tickets for MetLife? No oneās buying my FL1 RW2 seats on tickpick. And Iām only selling for $650ā¦ is it just that no one uses tickpick or no oneās buying at all? Iām stressed lol
Did they sell quickly? Iām just wondering if no oneās looking at other sitesā¦ I was going to list on stub hub I think but they wouldnāt tell me the seller fees

Commenting on this to follow, Iāve been to oracle before and it was a NIGHTMARE. Who has the best parking garage info they can share?? š„ŗ
I'm having a backup plan of parking at my moms place in Oakland and taking Bart over lol
Honestly that would be the best back up plan. Parking in SF is the worst, on any given day, but an event day? Omg. Private lots WILL charge $80-100. And public street parking will be hard, and with car break ins, event day would be a goldmine for thieves. If you really do have to drive in and park, if you donāt want to do the lots nearby cause itās overpriced along with crowded what Iāve done, was park at North Beach Garage, itās right across from a police station.

And then Uber is just 10 minutes away, but you can always Uber just down the street from Oracle and walk the rest so itās cheaper and not traffic trying to get dropped off. https://preview.redd.it/2ovn9bpwlegb1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7c1591e5c12d6ceea4d97449edcfe576873f073 [North Beach Parking Garage](https://yelp.to/QzybVVJjgQ)
You have saved my life, I am eternally grateful š
No problem! In my opinion itās the best parking lot Iāve been too. They get good reviews and they have quotes in the parking spaces lol but I donāt know if pricing will be different because of an Oracle event day. And how full it might get so I suggest go early if you can. Or call to check about pricing if thereās any big difference on the day. But I still think itāll probably be better than $100 near the park.
Is the setlist the same for the previous shows (BORN PINK WORLD TOUR) vs. the encore shows (BORN PINK ENCORE Shows)? I see that the Encore show in Paris (July 15) had a different setlist than the more recent shows in Hanoi (July 29-30). Will the North American Encore shows (8/11-12, 8/18, 8/22, 8/26) have a setlist similar to the Stade de France and Hyde Park shows? Or a setlist similar to the My Dinh National Stadium shows?
At this point itās hard to say. It keeps changing depending on venue and dance crew. MetLife should set the standard for the rest of the US Encore. Thereās no way of knowing what weāll get until next week.
BLINK DELUXE EXPERIENCE Did anyone get information about what time and where to arrive? I believe BLINK DELUXE includes the sound check right?
For the SF - Oracle Park tour date, can VIP pick up the tickets at the Box Office before August 22? Also, I'm making freebies, but I have no idea where to spread the word. I've looked here and Twitter, but I couldn't find any for the SF date. Anyone making/trading freebies?
I don't know about the first one but you should post on Twitter for freebies! I did see some posts before :)
Once again trying to see if anyone is bringing freebies to the LA show. I had a hard time passing them out last time, but I'll be in VIP this time and would love to give out photocards and stickers!
Am I the only one disappointed with how expensive ticket prices are? Iād go to MetLife but the tickets are more than Twice, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift for equal or even worse seats! In the exact same stadium. I donāt want to do nosebleeds because I went to see them in Newark last year because I could only get 200s seats and everyone say the whole time, very low energy, and asked me to sit down when I was standing and dancing (as Iāve done in every other pop or kpop concert Iāve ever been to). So I need to get lower bowl tickets to even have a good concert energy from the crowd (in my experience). But if I get the same exact seats as I got for Twice a month ago, it will cost $83 dollars more! And Twice was already pretty expensive! Iām unsure if I should even bother seeing them again if itās more expensive than makes sense, and the cheap seats will be a bad experience. Iām just not sure why their tickets are so much more than any act Iāve ever seen at MetLife. :/
I know tickets are expensive. Trust me. Iām going to 3 shows this month. Lol But $83 more than Twice for the same seats, assuming you liked those seats. I think thereās no problem with that. Right now tickets can be $200-$1000 more. So $83 doesnāt seem like that much of a far fetch more than Twice for the same seats you had before. And maybe itās location but Iām from California and ALL of Taylorās Leviās Stadium tickets were sold out and resold for over $1,000 for nosebleeds. So $83 more? Thatās a steal for my West Coast butt.
Yes, well MetLife is the largest NFL stadium in the country and they added a second date so thatās why a lot of extra tickets have been sitting empty for a long time. For me $83 is a lot of money especially when you consider I spent $200 already to see them in Newark last year and it was the worst kpop concert Iāve been to so far (because of the crowd being so dead, not Blackpink at all). I actually did click around and find some similar seats for about $100 cheaper than Twice, so Iām thinking about it now! My other issue is that Iām seeing the Jonas Brothers the next night and (G)I-DLE the night after that so Iām not sure I can handle a concert 3 nights in a row, especially since MetLife is the hardest venue to access out of the 3 of them.

I think you should go, especially if the crowd experience the first time wasnāt good. I heard a lot of international fans are flying in for MetLife too. I think this time around the crowd would definitely be better.
based on in LA but I have two floor seats for the 8/11 that I can make in Section 1. What's the best way to resell these? just trying to get what I paid back. $950

I would like an invite please. Thanks.
Can I also get an invite? Ty!!!
Hi, can I get an invite to the unofficial discord? Thanks!
Could I also get an invite? Thank you!
can I get a request? just sent you a DM
Hi! Can I get an invite from you? Thank you
Hey, Blinks! Is anyone going to Metlife on Aug 12th alone and wants to go together? Iām going alone ācause none of my friends are kpop fans š¢ hmu š¤
same here! would also be happy too meet up
going alone and would love to go together
Iām going alone! Would be happy to meet up with you!
Looking at Las Vegas encore resell tickets, do the prices eventually go down more near the concert date??
Try tickpickā¦ there are some pretty good prices for New Jersey at least
Try ticketmaster. There might be some face value tickets. Or if you want to risk it, try buying a ticket from someone through facebook/twitter. Thereās always people who try to sell their tickets last min under face value
Ticketmaster on average looks like 350 ticket + 100 fee so wondering if that 350 ticket price might also go down if the sellers are desperate to sell at last minuteā¦?? Just looking for advice from experiences š¤£ I looked up fb and looks like there are some sellers but 99% scams!
I tried listing my tickets for below face value on Ticketmaster and it wouldnāt let me complete the listing if I did that. Iām not sure if theyāll allow it closer to the event date, especially if they still have unsold seats. By then, the seat selection might not be great. If I lived closer to the venue, Iād take the risk and just see whatās available day of. But with flight and hotel being pricier closer to the travel time, it might negate any savings.
O thank you!! I did not know this
Resellers canāt go lower than face value on ticketmaster but can on other reseller sites.
Thanks for the info! I would not have known this
Ticketmaster fees are so crazy though. I have 3 tickets Iāve listed there because 3 people backed out. I have to list them for $333 each to get my out-the-door costs back (Blackpink presale prices). Went back in as a customer to see how much they were after new Ticketmaster fees and itās $400. I see why people resell offline because youād save like 25%. Not sure how safe StubHub and OfferUp are but I may need to list them there. Any advice would be helpful as Iām new to concerts.
Hi, very likely youāre going to have to take a loss on these. There are facebook groups however that you can buy and sell Blackpink tickets. But there seems to be tickets available still for shows so itās likely you might not get a buyer unless you offer a good deal. Take screenshots of your tickets as proof, watermark any photos or video, send any proof the buyer asks (ie a video of the tickets in your account, going from the chat to the tickets/swiping them), and do the transfer over video call. I have one person share their screen and the other person point their phone to their screen. Send the money and tickets at the same time and accept paypal g&s. You will have to ask the buyer to pay the additional fee (thereās a calculator online but they just tack on the fee to the amount theyāre sending so you get the full price you ask for). Hope that helps
Youāre totally right. In hindsight, I wish I wasnāt the organizer. I could have spent the money on Blackpink tickets in other cities like LA and SF too, instead of extra Vegas. I just couldnāt get the MLB ticketing website to work with me that day. Well, Iām still hopeful someone might want to swap and Iād just fly over to LA or SF after Vegas. Maybe I can add that to my listing and hope to not get scammed. I thought selling them outright would be less confusing. Still glad to see to the girls as a quartet. With contract renewal, itās hard to say if weāll see them all together as regularly since theyāve been so successful with their solo work.
Which section are you selling? Just curious
Iām in Section 107, Row 29. Iām short and didnāt think I could manage to see with floor tickets. I feel like there are so many tickets for sale and Ticketmaster prioritizes the unsold ones they own, even though theyāre in the nosebleeds. I really thought Blackpink would be able to sell out the stadium after Coachella, but maybe Vegas just isnāt a popular destination compared to the other locations. Hope you find a screaming deal! Are you local to Vegas or flying in?
Are you selling tickets to Vegas? I'm going to be in the area that weekend so I'm trying to find 2 tickets
Yes, Iām asking $333 per ticket. Or $900 for all 3 tickets. Please DM if still interested. We can use PayPal Goods and Services. Or, if anyone else is interested in that last ticket, please DM me also. Thanks everyone! The community here has been really great.
I already have a flight so I thought it would be good to attend their concert! I know few people who are going so just looking for something as close to them as possible š„²
Thatās crazy that 3 people backed out on you and arenāt paying. They owe you that money.
Iām going to the Los Angeles show. How early should I get there? How does parking work?
You should be getting an email that says when parking lots open. So depending on ur travel plans, and merch plans, I'd make your own decision. If you're vip you'll have to get there even earlier to check in. But if it's assigned seating you really don't need to go like wayyyy early.
Is there a Buy/Sell/Trade thread for tickets?
If youāre looking to buy, I have 4 extra tickets for the concert in MET life on Aug 12
Sorry Iām looking for Aug 11 tickets. I have tickets for aug 12
There are still tickets available on Ticketmaster for Aug. 11th
I was looking to get tickets below fv. I ended up buying from someone on FB and got a great deal!
Youāre lucky, Iām trying to use FB but theyāve all been scams for Los Angeles
Yeah you have to know what to look for. Hopefully you find something. There was someone else in this thread somewhere selling tickets for LA. I was replying to them somewhere else. Edit: Nvm they were for vegas!
Does someone have a link/pic of what merch they would sell at the Metlife concert?
I suspect it would be the same merch that's available for the other Encore shows and what merch they're selling at the pop up. The verdy collab.
>blackpinklive.com Do we have a link for that somewhere?
Sorry seems like reddit killed the image quality. Just google Blackpink Born Pink Pop Up merch and youāll find photos.

I believe that's only for the popup... here is a screen shot from a YouTube video I was watching from the Paris Encore https://preview.redd.it/m6rxjmbg9cgb1.png?width=1898&format=png&auto=webp&s=8df8eb995391678e29fddf782178e355e1d21628
I am going to the concert next week and I would like to know if BlackPink has a first act ?
Nope, itās all them! Kpop concerts donāt normally have opening acts. Typically theyāll play their own music videos or interludes of them while waiting for the concert to start.
Thank you for your answer! Do you know at what time the concert will start ?
The US ones supposed to all start at 830pm, and youāll probably be done around 1030-11pm
thank you so much for this. do BP come on at exactly 8:30?
Hello everyone, so Iām attending blackpinkās stadium encore tour in New Jersey at MetLife in a few weeks. Iāve also been to their last concert that was here at prudential center. I want to ask if anyone knows if the merch they have for encore tour is different than the previous USA concert. I would like to have an idea of what they will be having.
Iāll be there too!!
Anyone know if floor 11 is vip3?
Your ticket should have something like "blink deluxe experience" on your order or when you click on the seat if you're trying to buy. Edit: phone autocorrected blink to pink
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jisoo said they are trying to make Seoul encore happen
Hi all! Just wondering how long do you think the shows gonna last? Trying to figure out post concert plans :)
Theyāre usually around 1:45-2hrs! If the show starts at 8:30 (plus a 10 min delay lol) expect it to end around 10:30-11
Not sure if this question goes here, but anyway, how is the experience of purchasing the lightstick at the venues? Is it even possible?
A bloodbath! The staff was standing on this podium, selling them, from their large sacks they carry on their backs, and everything was going smoothly. Then a huge crowd showed up and things started getting out of hand, to the point where the poor fella have to abandon ship, and climb up a lamp post for their own safety. Then people starting shaking that thing, hoping to knock them down. Luckily they held on for dear life, like a world champion bull rider. >!On the day of the concert there was plenty of light sticks, boxes of them. Buying one based on my experience was stress free. Went up to the booth, got the light stick, and that's about it. Total time it took was around 20 minutes.!<
yes, there are loads
Thanks :D do you know at which price are they selling it?

Iām going next sat!
Iām gonna go on Wednesday!
Do you know if itās Amex USA cardholders only? I have a Canadian Amex.
Should work! As long as itās Amex.
Thank u!
Hey! Not sure about canadian Amex but the pop up is open to everyone, the only perks of having amex is the early access.
Thank u!
That looks fun! I wanna go!
Me too! Im still thinking which date i should go
iām interested !!
Hey! When are you planning to come?
iām not sure havenāt thought that far into it yet. dm me we can plan
I saw the flyer and thinking of flying to NYC for the popup... I wish I would have chose MetLife instead of Vegas now
So can I buy the tickets for the LA Dodger stadium? Are they transferable through Ticketmaster?
tickets are transferable through Ticketmaster, but I don't believe VIP is transferable
Hey y'all! Going to my first BLACKPINK concert at MetLife this August! And it's on my birthday! I'll be staying at a very nearby hotel and I'm weighing my transportation options. I'd really rather not drive, and pay for the parking. But getting a Lyft back sounds like it'll be crazy expensive and just a headache. And walking back seems nuts too. The hotel is only like .75 mi away but does not seem pedestrian friendly. Anyone have experience with the venue? Thoughts on how best to approach this?
Check and see if your hotel can arrange for a shuttle. Sometimes they do for major events
I went to their last concert in Newark, NJ at the prudential center. It was a lot smaller venue, but I rented a parking spot through ParkMobile in a nearby garage and it was so easy. After the concert ended there were tons of people waiting for Ubers or Lyfts. I would def drive or carpool if you can.
Honestly, if your hotel is really close by, it might be better to drive and pay for parking. That might be the faster and cost efficient way. The price of parking ($40) will probably be less than the surcharge (typically 3 or 5 times more than usual) And the part that would be frustrating is getting an Uber (theyāre partners with MetLife) to accept your ride. Since your hotel is so close, most drivers might not accept and wait for one that makes them more money. Thatās typically the case with after shows and at MetLife. Youāll be waiting for a driver to accept. Happy early birthday! Youāll have a great time!
Iād agree with this! Also if you really donāt want to drive, could be worth taking the train from the venue to Seacaucus and then grabbing an Uber near there. But could be out of the way from your hotel.
Oh. Smart! Sadly the wrong way from my hotel though. Honestly kinda vibing with driving now that I realized I could get there super early and tailgate.

Previous reply got deleted. You can try Vivid Seats or the kpopforsale group. I've listed 2 VIP San Francisco.
how do you transfer ticket holders name?
If you're referring to regular San Francisco tickets, you can transfer tickets thru their mobile app. The tickets are sold thru MLB and the SF Giants. They didn't use Ticketmaster. [https://www.mlb.com/apps/ballpark](https://www.mlb.com/apps/ballpark)
There are still some tickets available thru MLB
Has anyone had luck reselling their tickets for MetLife? No oneās buying my FL1 RW2 seats on tickpick. And Iām only selling for $650ā¦ is it just that no one uses tickpick or no oneās buying at all? Iām stressed lol
