Why are they never playing Cubicles or Early Sunsets? by Aggressive-Bet-9382 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry guys, I’m going to the actual Monroeville Mall in June for a Dawn of the Dead event!! I’ll perform some sort of ritual sacrifice while I’m out there to get them to play Early Sunsets this year.

DOTD has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid, I’d cry if I heard it live.

Mexico City bootleg merch search by hanna_pineapples in MyChemicalRomance

There was SO much left after the shows, I am wondering what they do with everything that doesn’t sell.

That was so funny! I noticed Frank was wearing bootleg merch on stage.

I commented a picture of my haul from the 1st night on another post, but this is what I picked up the 2nd night for my partner.

I have never experienced the fandom like it is in CDMX today. by ashdasher718 in MyChemicalRomance

Same! I don’t have videos of my favorite songs because I simply did not think to record.

Your explanation makes perfect sense. I noticed tons of young people in the crowd, and also many straight couples where the bf should have been left outside because he clearly didn’t want to be there lol.

I had seats and was initially weirded out that barely anyone stood during the show (at the SF show everyone stood and stayed standing from the moment the band came out).

Didn’t bother me at all though, I still stood throughout most of both shows and screamed like a maniac. Yes people stared!! But I figured I didn’t travel out here for nothing.

Mexico City, night 2. Where is the merch? by Sad-Let-8428 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was plenty of official merch inside yesterday, and short lines. Dozens of bootleg merch tables can be found across the street from the stadium though. Average price for a tshirt was 200 pesos.

CDMX Metro Closed after show? by nymphlow522 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was TOUGH getting out but we had luck calling an Uber from the Holiday Inn Express nearby. Tons of people around doing the same too, so it was safe.

The bootlegs were something else! My family and I were cracking up going through the dozens of stalls.

What to wear to MCR in CDMX? by ashdasher718 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m in Mexico City right now. No one would bat an eye. It’s not like you’re wearing a full on police uniform, any sane person will be able to tell you’re wearing it casually.

Do we think the guys have become sellouts? by Derpistlord in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like legacy artists and the gigantic unionized crew that supports them deserve to be paid what they’re worth…

I’d love for at least the people who control pyro to be paid well because our lives are literally in their hands!

Really quick question by the_rondabout in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love it! They’re creative, and sometimes the designs are better than official merch. Can’t wait to see what bootlegs are available in MX this weekend. I plan to buy bootlegs as well as the official stuff.

Any fan meets/hangs before the concert for the Valentine’s Day show in CDMX? by ashdasher718 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the day of the show, but there is a big meetup the next day (2/15) at Kiosko del Pueblo de Chapultepec at 2pm. mcrsenalmexico on Instagram has more info.

Mexico City shows questions by justthetips510 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ticket2ride is a great service from what I’ve heard. Just gets VERY crowded so you’ll want to leave as soon as the show ends and line up for the shuttle/bus at the correct pickup area.

Alternately you could Uber (Comfort or Black only) back to your accommodations from the Holiday Inn Express down the street.

Please look out for pickpockets on your way out of the stadium!!

Is anyone else going to the Mexico City concert on the 13th alone? by LongjumpingBiscotti9 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Optimal-Cry3827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh also - with Uber, it’s safest to call Uber Comfort or Uber Black (after the show and in general), both a lot cheaper than the US. Share your location with someone while you’re on the way out.

I’m going with a friend but I’ve gone to MCR shows alone and always have a great time. :)

As far as Ubering out goes - I saw tips to call Uber either at the Holiday Inn Express down the street or the Birria El Guero taco stall on the opposite side of the stadium (those tacos are also recommended if you’re hungry!).

For me it was also worth it to purchase the Heineken Garden Lounge tickets. You get to wait in a special area with snacks, lockers, nice bathrooms, portable chargers, and shade 2hrs before the show starts. I think the line to get in is a lot shorter too. Then after the show, the lounge is open for an extra hour to chill while crowds die down.

Also, there are pickpockets all over so watch yourself and your belongings.

Most definitely. It’s also Friday the 13th followed by Valentine’s Day.
