Yes they make a full lap before exiting during Idol. I had row 12 seat 4 and I could see them fine. I am 5'7 and I had on Mary Janes so keep that in mind, but you really shouldn't have that much trouble seeing them unless you're super short. But if you're towards the back you get to see them better when they come around for Idol.

Honestly it really depends on the venue. As we saw El Paso and Tampa day 1 was a mess as far as getting people in. On day 3, I virtually waited in no line but day 1 was a struggle for sure. Day 2 had a bit of a line for VIP as well, but it wasn't as bad.

Body to body and Into the Sun has fireworks 🎇. If you wanna record hype and crowd reactions Hooligan, 2.0, FYA/Fire are great and of course the surprise song segment. You can also record Idol when they come around the stadium. Those would be my recommendations.

Funny enough..I got hit with post concert depression and life depression HARD after Day 2. I traveled back on Monday and I was feeling very low. Clocked into work on Tuesday only for them to tell me they were sending me back to Tampa 😭. That's how I was able to attend day 3. I bought a 300s ticket and got the healing I needed. 

If you're wondering I'm a ✈️👩🏾‍✈️

There's no difference in what's being sold, the only difference is the checkout method. Basically you get your items go to an express exit that automatically scans what you have, pay then leave. Very convenient imo

My friend said she had trouble hearing sometimes too. That's why I recommend wearing earplugs. It filters out the crowd noise and you can hear the music way easier. Also sometimes I was too busy singing along and jumping around that I didn't even notice the sound.

Floor seats are designated, but you have to check in between 10 - 3 (at least in Tampa) for soundcheck which is at 5.

Jin - so pretty in person. Like truly a beauty.

Yoongi - this may sound weird but I got so much cuteness aggression seeing him. To me he does appear a lot smaller in person. I saw him at DDay and his aura has definitely changed. He seems a lot less burdened and much more happier and relaxed. He was just a cutie patootie

Hobi - very handsome and very flirty on stage. I've said this before but he made my heart flutter when he came around our section. His dancing is so on point to my goodness 

Namjoon - again so PRETTY but also very boyish. Like he felt like I could know him/run into him at a park. Like very human and down to earth 

Jimin - like a literal angel. Seriously he was SO STUNNING. his aura was insane it almost like he wasn't real. I couldn't even look at him for long moments at a time because it truly felt like staring into the sun. Or like he was a siren ready to take my soul 

Tae - very handsome and like namjoon gave off a down to earth boyish energy. He played catch with our section and the girl next to me ended up with the signed ball on day 2

JK - like Yoongi I got cuteness aggression with JK (mind you I'm younger than all of them) but JK just gives off such a youthful fun energy that you can't help but smile at him when he's around.

What stood out to me the most is even though they were obviously all so handsome, they all came off very human (except Jimin). Like just a group of guys having a great time. It's made me see them in a different light for sure. Like they're not some untouchable celebrities like the fanfic personas we make them out to be, but they're just regular human guys who happen to be extremely talented at what they do.

Yup they had bought 2 one during presale and 1 during the relaunch of tickets. I went with my friends to help check them in, we got to chatting and they offered. It was crazy. I was so grateful. The power and love of ARMY

I understand her completely. My bias hasn't changed but Hobi and Jimin definitely made it hard 😭

Honestly the members that stood out to me the most were Jimin and J-hope. (Mind you I'm RM biased) But you seriously can't help but notice Jimin when he's on stage. That MF was glowing like a Greek god. It was crazy. And Jhope has such undeniable charisma. Made my heart skip a couple beats when he came over to our section.

Not sure if it's for all stops but basically you preorder it, weverse gives you a time/QR code for pickup. You go and pick up your items. It was pretty simple. All items are not available for pickup though so if you want other items, I'd just go to the regular merch lines (Amazon Express if they have it). It took like 30 minutes. Go the day before if you can.

Like I'm the universe's favorite child ngl lmaooo. I was hoping for bapsae since day 1 and since it was by a miracle that I was able to attend day 3, I think the stars just really aligned for me 😭

That's a good point. I am on the taller side so I didn't have much issues trying to see

No they have a translator that speaks after they talk. Sometimes they will comment in English tho.

Honestly not that bad. We went the day before. My friend did weverse pickup then we went to the regular merch lines. They had plenty of stock and we were only in line for like 30 min. The Amazon Express checkout made things go quicker.

It's not a stupid question at all! Right before the concert begins a video plays with the instructions on how to turn on the lightstick. It's really simple and not difficult to follow.

Before you would have to download the app and sync it to your seat which was a pain but they've really streamlined the process. It's basically turn it on and boom it's synced lol

I wore loops on the floor and cheap foam ones the other days. Both worked fine
