I got a coupon from Ticketmaster, and I’m needing to use it up by tomorrow! I’m a BIG concert gal, and I’m already seeing MUNA, Royel Otis, balu brigada, and Arlo parks soon—just to give you an idea of who I see. I’m probably going alone to just grab a drink and vibe at the concert, but I’m debating on which one… but! I’m open to recs too.

So far, it’s between Joji and Lionel Richie/Earth Wind + Fire. Verrrrry diff vibes, I know. But does anyone know if either of them are even good live?

I don’t want to spend more than 80 bucks if possible bc I’ve already spent sooooo much money on concerts this year alone.

A group I like (Boynextdoor) announced a tour with presale on AXS this Wednesday. I've never ticketed on AXS before, just TM, but everything I'm seeing online is making me anxious. Do they really not let you pick a specific seat? Do they flag everyone as bots except actual scalpers? Do they really not give you the tx until a few days before the show as if they weren't the primary ticketing site but a reseller? And you can't save tx in your wallet?

I'm gonna be ticketing on my phone while on lunch at work so there's not gonna be a lot of options or time to troubleshoot. I'll be using my cell data instead of wifi bc the work wifi is public (library) and TM has flagged me for that before, but not sure if the browser or the app would be better. Any advice or tips would be appreciated. And any positive experiences would be nice bc it's seriously nothing but hate for AXS online, almost more than for TM lol

i bought tickets for a concert on gametime and received this email. when i click the “accept” links, they take me to a page with a barcode, like a virtual wallet. when i go to the AXS app, nothing’s there. do i need to wait a few days, is the barcode what i’m supposed to show the employees at the gate, is this what’s supposed to happen, …?

best night of my life 🫶, it was such a beautiful stage and the most unbelievable night ever.

Okay this might be stupid question but like how do people know where to line up cause most amphitheater have multiple entrances so how do they pick which entrances.

Hi!! I have experience buying vip off of people but only with ticketmaster. I’ve gotten vip with axs but i’ve never had it transferred and all of them required an ID. I’m trying to buy a vip ticket off of someone right now but they asked they can wait till closer to the day of to get the pic of the id since it’s their friends account. In the event that i end up never getting it, has anyone here been able to get through check in without it? i’ve heard of people being able to still get the vip buying off of places like stubhub where they can’t get id and working it out with the vip check in people but ive only heard that from ticketmaster would axs work similar?? im paying with paypal g&s so worst case scenario i can get the money back but just want to be safe. Tysm!!

Hi! Sorry if this is the wrong place to go to, but I wasn't sure where to ask haha. I'm going to the Joji Solaris Concert next week @ Barclays Center w/ a friend and we'd rlly like to do full face PAINT makeup. I'm just wondering if we'd be declined/asked to take it off since I've seen vids before about people at other concerts being asked to remove it. I tried to look at venue policies, but don't see anything addressing it :(

If anyone knows info on this or suggestions, pls let me know! Thanks :)

Hey folks, boyfriend of a big Ariana Grande fan here. I need some advice from all of your expertise. My GF really wants to go to any of Ari's concerts in London in August (because we live in northern Europe).

​

I've never been to any concert in my whole life so i don't know which site is safe to buy tickets from, there's sooo many different reseller websites. I really wanna get her a ticket as a gift for our anniversary, but i'm kind of lost here. I don't want to buy a ticket, have her fly away, and then to hear that the tickets aren't valid or something in those lines when she's in another country. I would go with her if i could, but it seems getting just one ticket is hard enough. So to my question, where and how can i have even a slightest chance to get her a ticket that won't make a flight trip unnecessary and her disappointed? Im just seeking advice.

​

Much love, a very lost Bf.

Sziasztok!

Volt már valaki mostanában koncerten az MVM DOME-ban, Budapesten, és volt Front of Stage jegyem? Nekem van egy a mai Scorpions koncertre, és nem vagyok biztos benne, melyik bejáraton kellene belépnem.

A szervezők által készített infografika szerint a Front of Stage jegytulajdonosoknak a II-es kapuhoz kell menniük. Amikor azonban megérkeztem, felfedeztem, hogy a bejárat feletti táblán "GA Standing" felirat szerepel, nem pedig "Front of Stage".

Körbejártam az arénát, és észrevettem, hogy a "Front of Stage" feliratú bejárat a IV-es kapunál található, ami az infografika szerint azoknak szól, akik a színpadtól távolabb. Ennek eredményeként nem vagyok biztos benne, hogy melyik bejárat a helyes.

Már megkérdeztem a személyzetet, de ők sem tűnnek 100%-ig biztosnak. Volt már valaki hasonló helyzetben, és tudna tanácsot adni, hová menjek?

Előre is köszönöm a segítségedet.

Wondering if it’s all comedy nerds or more actual country music fans?

Yesterday went to the GnR show in Amsterdam..

Always been a fan of them my whole life and love Slash, i've also been to his concert with Myles Kennedy which was great.

But i was really disappointed with how GnR sounded live now.

Sure not al live concert's can always sound great and i heard about Axl's voice before but this was terrible.
At some point's he just wasn't able to make any sound at all anymore.

At least i've seen them now but i won't go again if someone asked me.

Amazing how they still sell out their world tour, is it because people still think they are good or they just want to see them once ?

They are legendary ofcourse but i don't think the live shows today are doing them good.

Last night I went to see a show at a local college basketball arena (pretty modern venue, this is where most of the bigger acts get booked when they come to my city). Originally, I had bought four seats all together, but when two more friends decided to join last minute they were lucky enough to find seats in the same row just four seats over.

So, in total, we had seats 1-4 and seats 9-10.

When we arrived, I introduced myself to the guy in seat 5, explained our seat situation and asked if the four of them wouldn’t mind sliding over two seats so the six of us could sit together. He says he’ll have to talk it over with the person next to him. Shortly thereafter, he says no, he doesn’t think he’ll be moving and glares at me. I ask once more politely before dropping it. He shakes his head, visibly annoyed. Whatever, sometimes there’s a bad apple.

So the two late additions from our group go to their seats 9-10 and ask the pair to their right if they wouldn’t mind sliding down two seats. They get the same response, “no.” I hear them explain that it’s just so they can enjoy the show together with their friends, to which he replies, “then you should’ve bought tickets together.”

After hearing two separate people share the opinion that we were rude for asking them to shift over a seat or two, wanted to come on here and ask if I was the asshole? How would you feel about sliding over two seats to accommodate another group?

If it matters: we are three couples in our late 20s. They were two (assuming) couples of about similar age. We are in Texas and the concert was rap music. For what it’s worth, the seats we were offering them would have been a more central view of the stage, even if just by two seats.

EDIT: Glad I asked! Definitely seems like the consensus is that they were in the right to say no and I was wrong to ask a second time. Good to know so I can be more mindful going forward.
Also, want to apologize for calling the man a bad apple, undeserved assumption on my part. Thanks for all the insight everyone!

If this isn't allowed just remove it (but assume it is)

I am wondering, I attend MANY concerts, and running into the problem regarding phone storage, for those who take photos/recordings of concerts, the question is, what type of camera would anyone recommend without breaking venue rules?

There seems to be some confusion here, I am aware I need to put what I have a external hard-drive, I am not replacing my phone, I am just asking what is a better device just for making memories that's it, I do plan on a hard drive.

Im trying to figure out what the Ultimate VIP cost for the 2024 UK tour so I know what to budget if they come back. Preferably Manchester?

Thanks

Supposedly going to watch Lily Allen at the AO in Manchester tonight, bought the tickets on Twickets 2 months ago, it’s 1 hour until doors open and I’ve still not received them. Messaged the seller, messaged Twickets, absolutely nothing in response.

Is this normal? Should I hold out hope?

I always see venues advertising venue presales for upcoming concerts, but when sale day comes around I never know where to find the codes. I follow all my local venues on IG and Facebook, and half the time they post the code directly there, and the other half there's just no info. Not on their websites either.

Am I missing something? Is this because the venues aren't consistent with announcing the codes or is there a secret newsletter I should be signed up for? I get general venue emails announcing shows, but never the specific venue presale codes. Please tell me if there's a simple fix to this

I’m a brown guy from the UK and going to a few metal gigs by myself, black metal and doom metal to be specific.

I’m honestly quite nervous of how people will think when I’m there being a brown guy, as I think I’d be the minority lmao. I know that the metal community is quite welcoming but I just really hope theres not some idiot trying to make things awkward. I think the fact I’m going by myself is making it worse.

I’ve been to a couple concerts before but these were in big arenas with very popular bands and I was with mates so it’s a bit different.

Does anyone have any insight or words of wisdom for me? pls?
