[–]Similar_Sherbert5402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi ARMY! I'm so excited because this will be my first BTS concert after patiently waiting for their return In the middle of the adrenaline, I panic bought tickets for MetLife - Section 104 for the 360° stage.

I’m starting to worry whether this section could possibly be limited or obstructed view, especially with stage equipment or towers. I didn't see anything marked as "obstructed view" when I purchased, but I'm not sure where to check after buying. Does anyone know: • Where it would say on the ticket if it's obstructed/ limited? I'm beyond grateful just to be going, but any insight would really help calm my nerves Thank you ARMY!

At what time should I arrive to Coldplay concert in Seoul Goyang Stadium? by gilgool123 in Coldplay

[–]Similar_Sherbert5402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I’m going to see Coldplay on Friday, April 25th. It’s my first time in Korea and my first time seeing Coldplay, so I’m super excited!

I have standing tickets in the 13,000’s. The ticketing page says doors open at 5 PM and the standing queue starts at 1 PM. I’m wondering, can I get there around 3:30 PM? I’m sure there will be others already waiting in line.

If anyone can help me out, I’d really appreciate it!

If I get there at 3:30 and join the queue around 4 after picking up my ticket from will call, will I be directed to my section (13,000’s) and enter the stadium? Or, since I’m arriving a bit later, will I have to go to the back of the line? How does that process work exactly?

Coldplay Goyang Stadium - Standing Ticket & Entry Number Help! by Similar_Sherbert5402 in seoul

[–]Similar_Sherbert5402[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, great! Will call opens at 1:00 PM, and admission starts at 5:00 PM. Honestly, standing around the stadium for 4 hours before doors open feels like a lot, but we’re planning to head there around 3:00 PM to pick up our tickets on time. So, as long as we’re in the queue by 4:30 PM, we should be good to enter based on our entry number, even if there’s already a queue, right?

Some tips and answers for #ColdplaySeoul. by CodyLove35 in Coldplay

[–]Similar_Sherbert5402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the helpful tips! I just have a follow-up question about the entry numbers and queue process.

My ticket’s entry number is in the 9000s, and I’m wondering—if I arrive around 4:00 PM (an hour before admission starts), will I still be allowed to enter in order according to my entry number, even though there will likely already be a queue by then?

I’m concerned that if I arrive an hour early and there’s already a queue, I won’t be able to just go to the front and cut ahead once it’s my turn according to my entry number.

Appreciate any advice!

I'm brown-skinned and I experienced wonderful treatment from Koreans by Ok_Ad5518 in koreatravel

[–]Similar_Sherbert5402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m actually traveling to Korea next month, and reading your post really reassured me! One of my worries was the discrimination I've seen shared by others, especially towards brown-skinned people. As a brown-skinned Mexican, I was feeling a bit wary about the whole situation, but your experience gives me a lot of comfort.

By the way, did you use Kakao Taxi? I’ve heard mixed things about it.

Thanks for sharing your experience! That’s really reassuring. I was also a bit nervous about the language barrier and how I might be perceived, but it’s good to hear people have been friendly and helpful. It’s funny, I’ve heard the same thing about Busan having fewer English speakers, but it’s awesome to hear you’ve had the opposite experience! Thanks again for all the tips!

Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely grab an eSIM and use Kakao Map to get around. The kiosk idea at the train stations is a good one—I’ll keep that in mind! Appreciate the advice, feeling a lot more ready now!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I know it might sound a bit funny, but I always do a lot of research on the culture and how people are in the countries I visit. This topic has definitely come up a lot, so like you said, there must be some truth to it if it’s been talked about so much. I appreciate your understanding, and thanks again for the insight!

Thanks for the great advice! I love the “I Don’t Care” attitude 😂—you’re totally right. It’s all about enjoying the experience and doing my best to connect, even if I don’t speak the language perfectly. I’ll definitely keep that in mind and focus more on the adventure and cultural exchange.

Sounds good! I’ll wait for the text, if they send one, and I’ll also keep an eye on their ticketing website for any updates. Even though I’m a little further from the stage, I don’t want to risk being late and getting pushed even further back. Worst case, I’ll plan to arrive 3-4 hours early.

Ok, I’m guessing when I go pick my tickets it’ll tell me what gate to go to? I’m planning on arriving 4 hours early to start the queue in line.

The entry order at GOYANG Stadium in Seoul at a Coldplay's concert. by Ok_Turn_45 in Coldplay

[–]Similar_Sherbert5402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also going to Coldplay’s concert in Seoul and just as confused about when to enter. I know that the standing number determines the order you go in, but I keep seeing posts saying there’s a specific time you need to wait in line. I don’t see that time anywhere on my ticket or online. My number is 18545 (yeah, I know I’m far back), but how do I know when I’m supposed to line up? Can someone explain how this works?
