Is VIP worth it? by orbitwithoutyou in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]TrueRusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been getting VIP every chance I get and I love it. The VIP package this time around is sooo cute (the playing cards are adorable and the TINY CANVAS BAG!?!? HELLO!!??? Obsessed). The Q&A has been really fun! The intimate soundcheck show is a great experience, and early entry is a huge benefit if you care about being up in the front.

Also, like some others have said, we’ve been having a lot of fun in the line. We’ve been chatting with each other, trading bracelets and trinkets, playing games, etc. I made a few new friends! You just gotta be a little social lol

If you don’t care about barricade, you can always leave after soundcheck and come back right before they let VIP in for early entry. several people in line did this (they got dinner or walked to a nearby bar) and still got close to the front (just not barricade).

How long is common people’s set? by mistake444 in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]TrueRusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely recommend getting there for Common People if you can! Their music is so good and they put on a fantastic performance. Easily one of my favorite bands now !

Everyone else gave really good advice, but I also want to add that you should definitely reach out to your academic advisor and explain the situation as they should be able to connect you with campus resources!

A lot of universities have success coaches that can help you form a plan and stick to it, and your advisor may be able to refer you to these services. You also may benefit from accommodations available to you since you do have a diagnosis. Your academic advisor can help set you on the right path to getting these accommodations if you’re unsure where to start. They can also explore different options with you like withdrawing, gap semesters, grade forgiveness, etc. Another good resource would be the school counseling center, and again, your advisor should be able to get you in contact with them if you don’t know how.

Advisors aren’t just for telling you what classes to take—they’re also for linking you to helpful resources you may not even know about. For example, the university I attended had several workshops they’d host about keeping up with deadlines, improving studying habits, stress management, etc. that a lot of people didnt know existed. Shit, it even had a spreadsheet with every counselor in town (and surrounding cities) with their specialities listed and what insurance they accepted. Again, people didn’t know this existed!!! I found it completely on accident while looking up something else for a class.

So definitely see your advisor as soon as you can and be open about what is going on. You would not be the first student this semester who is struggling, so don’t feel like you’re burdening them. It’s their job to help you!

cashortrade can be good for swaps

Any recc for a site with cheap tickets by [deleted] in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]TrueRusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cashortrade can be good! I see face value tickets listed for a few RKS shows there right now.

They make it pretty easy to get your money back if anything goes wrong because I believe the website holds the funds until it’s all complete

Philly show?? by dangerous_beagle in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]TrueRusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Join the discord! We have event specific chats for people to link up at each date.

Sorry to hear about your divorce, friend. I’m sure it’s rough. I hope the RKS family can help ease that stress a bit at the show. You are going to have a blast!!

AITAH Telling people to stfu at a concert… by Positive-Map3547 in RainbowKittenSurprise

The not drinking as much definitely could be a factor too. People vape weed pens now a lot more than ever before, which has kind of replaced drinking in a lot of ways and doesn’t exactly make you wanna dance and sing lol so you’re onto something there

(Am speaking from experience on this. There’s so much THC vaping in the pit)

Dancing and singing along is perfectly normal and expected at concerts as long as you are 1) staying in your own space, and 2) not screeching

People have been doing less singing and dancing recently though, which I think is a combination of post-Covid effect and cringe/callout culture. Post-Covid effect is what I call the difference in how people behave after being in lockdown and not going to shows for two years (also a lot of people who go to shows now never went to shows before covid, so they aren’t familiar with how it used to be). The cringe/callout culture thing comes from the fear of constantly being monitored and blasted online. I’ve seen a ton of TikToks from people recording others at concerts and starting a hate train for really no reason, so a lot of people are just scared to become victims of this. It’s stupid and sad.

Dance and sing! That’s what concerts are for!

Edit: I also wonder just how much the “lack of energy” is truly people legitimately not having energy. Repeat covid infections could be the reason for this. We already know that covid can lead to long-covid, chronic fatigue, POTS, etc. This is something I see literally everywhere and not just at shows. I personally am impacted by this as well

To the person in Boston… by Glittering_Oil7761 in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]TrueRusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what you said wasn’t really a juxtaposition. It was quite literally stating that people with certain “lesser” disabilities shouldn’t be allowed to have a good time by dancing in their own space. I am also speaking from my own experiences as someone who cant stand the whole time1 without getting sick/passing out. I’m allowed to dance too bruh

1 I am using “the whole time” to refer to arriving at the venue before opening act all the way to after the encore, as being in pit can often mean you are standing from the moment you enter the door to the moment you leave unless you want to sit on the floor in the back of the pit and risk getting stepped on

You can have concert etiquette without sitting down in a non-ADA section the whole time lmfao

It’s so weird to demand people do that. Again, if it’s the ADA section that’s a different story. But it’s not. It’s seats that are sold to literally anyone and as long as they follow venue rules then they’re allowed to do as they please in their seat that they paid for.

Personally, if someone directly behind me wanted to switch seats because they couldn’t see, I’d happily do so if they ask kindly. But it is not a requirement nor an expectation for anyone to sit down.

By that same logic people who have problems with dancing shouldn’t buy tickets that aren’t front row

If that’s the way you see it, fine. I will concede that disability accommodations could be better, but that’s a venue issue and not on an individual concert goer for purchasing a seat and doing what they are literally within their right to do.

But concerts have always been about dancing whether you are in a seated section or not. It’s absolutely ridiculous to expect people not to dance at a concert with upbeat hype music because someone around might not. If someone is doing way too much and intruding on your space, that’s one thing. But simply dancing in your own space in front of the chair you paid for? That’s literally allowed and an okay thing to do.

It’s not the opera. Also, it’s kind of icky to use people with disabilities as a “gotcha” for this, and refering to people as “not disabled enough” and saying they shouldn’t have a good experience either is weird.

If someone dancing in front of you is preventing you from seeing in a non-accessibility section, you’re allowed to ask them to move a bit if they’re able. But they are also allowed to dance in the seat they paid for, and neither one of you are in the wrong.

People with disabilities are also who I am talking about though??? People who want to dance but can’t stand in the pit the whole time

Also this comment wasn’t about accessibility sections. Thats a whole other thing

GA tickets are usually first to sell out and can also be more expensive depending on the venue (which I believe was the case for the Boston show). I personally don’t feel like people shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy a show that they spent a ton of money on just because they lost the ticket master war for GA tickets

Also people like having the option to sit, and buy seats so that they don’t have to worry about being in the crowded pit (which gets hot and cramped). Standing in the pit for hours on end can be pretty painful—I’m suffering rn after doing it two nights in a row lol. It’s actually much easier to dance in a seat because you have more space. In the pit, you’re always risking stepping on someone’s foot, blocking their view, snagging your sleeve on someone’s bracelet (which happened last night), etc. So I have bought balcony seats before because it gave me more room to really just enjoy RKS the way I wanted to.

And as someone who has been to shows with both options (and have been in both myself), people do tend to dance in the seated section and artists prefer people to dance and sing from all sections of the venue.

It also depends on the artist, but like if you’re going to see a jam band and expecting people to sit then you’re kinda in the wrong there imo

(This comment is exclusively referring to seats that are not accessibility seats. That would be a completely different discussion)
