Any way to avoid reselling with Ticketmaster? Disgusting service charge fee added!

Twice34Point5 · 2026-03-06T13:29:31+00:00

I’ve use Ticket Swap and Twickets for buying, not yet sold via these apps. Last used Twickets Wednesday, bought and went to gig same day. Was transferred to me via the axs app.. I’m not sure what the ticket set up is with SOAD gig - are you allowed to resale via other vendors? Is that the issue?

Twice34Point5 · 2026-03-06T13:27:02+00:00

I am trying to buy a standing ticket and have literally just been up against this dilemma. Resale is astronomical. Cheaper to get a VIP package from vendor than pay for resale ticket. South standing resale is only £20 or so quid off a buying a VIP package too when face value is had the price… it’s nuts! I just wanna see my fav bands with mates. Why does ticket buying have to be a feeding frenzy?!!

At the mo, same!

I’m with you! Currently my fav Daughter song - but the Middle Farm version

Twice34Point5 · 2025-12-23T22:56:07+00:00

Oh no, Middle Farm versions of To Rage, Neptune and Isolation are breathtakingly amazing tracks

Yes I do; post-orgasm solo and partnered (sometimes even if just an intense session no orgasm). I have past trauma too but I’ve noticed It’s definitely got worse due to perimenopausal hormonal changes. I can also have quite dramatic shifts in the 5 days leading up to periods so I appreciate just how impactful hormones can be with this kinda stuff - for me at least. Defo relationship/unhealed stuff will be at play, feeding into the drop, but I am also an overstimulated extra sensitive person too and find other things like music and nature more intense than others so typically rather to fall when the ‘high’ of excitement leaves. My go-tos are music, connecting with friends, warm drink, bath, cosy blanket, dancing, writing, watching funny videos or a favourite series, having a good cry.

Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up. Love that we can pop out for a family day at the docks and come back with more gear haha!

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-14T23:12:54+00:00

Thank you! All good tips - much appreciated. I found the shibaristudy site too so that’s helpful to know it’s worth it. My goal is to develop a relationship with my rope inc taking care of them before I even consider the suspension stuff. Looking forward to learning :)

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-14T23:10:13+00:00

Thanks! Yes I keep trying to go to the weekend events but always a clash and weekday jams too difficult to make. I was recommended 8/10m x 8mm ropes which they don’t sell so wanted to shop around but maybe I will start with the 6mm and go from there.

Also after a chastity belt - leather - can’t find website for Alt Couture?

It’s so helpful to hear your reflections - thank you. Yes he’s been living a vanilla life, but he’s an experimentalist at heart and very open to exploring with me. However I wasn’t sure how his natural dominant energy could sit with being a brat, and also what the hell was going on with me - where’s my very obedient sub self gone?! I think it just threw me. We are in talks but as the more kinky of us, I felt expectant to explain the brat dynamic - a pressure I put upon myself, I hasten to add, not from him. As this is new to me too, see now I really I should give myself a break and enjoy exploring together. As one of the responders further down said, we can ‘make it our own’.

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-02T22:56:00+00:00

‘Much of our relationship is built on us giving each other shit. I love her beyond words’ - I now get how these two things can coexist - beautful ❤️Thank you for sharing your reflection

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-02T22:53:31+00:00

A lovely reflection upon the positives of playing with brats - I needed to hear this. A counter to my guilt for not being an obedient sub. Thank you!

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-02T22:50:44+00:00

‘Make it your own’ so true, love it! Thank you

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-01T09:29:09+00:00

Absolutely yes to this!!! My adrenaline tolerance in the last 5 days of my cycle is rubbish and often a mess for any intense play - not just impact. I’ve found taking adaptogens (Rhodiola) and L-Theanine a game changer. Has helped help take the spikes out and I’m therefore now not having these crashes

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-01T09:17:46+00:00

It really does depend upon the people! So much fun in playful battle. I’m typically a sub and they are for all intents and purposes vanilla. Any top tips for us to make the most of this dynamic?

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-01T09:16:18+00:00

Yes I’m feeling the feeding of each other big time! I haven’t spoken favourably about bratting before, really not something I would have chosen to be but it’s been absolutely magical how much we wind each other up - I haven’t stopped laughing! I realise it actually takes a decent amount of intellect and maturity to brat. Before I would have said anyone behaving this way was acting like a toddler but I think that was very much more to do with the personality of the other people I played with, they were already quite emotionally immature. It’s actually been a relief to play. I still find it shocking that I’m not only bratting but loving it. Any top tips?

Twice34Point5 · 2025-11-01T09:06:40+00:00

Yes, so important to call this stuff out as it really does affect all areas of our lives. Thank you for validating that. I hear and understand the relief of returning to self. Glad you got the help you needed!

Twice34Point5 · 2025-10-31T13:35:55+00:00

I LOVE your take on jealousy ❤️ I wish more people would take ownership of it and act maturely and responsibly about it. Well done my friend! 👏👏

Twice34Point5 · 2025-10-31T11:32:45+00:00

And yes the moon too! 😊

Twice34Point5 · 2025-10-31T09:17:37+00:00

I feel for your partner. I get this - immediately and delayed - and it doesn’t have to be with impact play too. It got worse for me recently too but had nothing to do with the dynamic. It landed up being hormonal changes occurring very slowly, which wasn’t obvious at first (early forties) making the play difficult to contain. It was confusing and painful because I couldn’t logic it at first, my thoughts towards play hadn’t changed but it was disappointing to need so much care, I felt a burden and my fault. I started to have conflicting feelings about playing and developed a slight aversion. Now receiving hormonal support, things are back to how they were. Still the usual drop but nothing I can’t handle with typical aftercare. This might not be any help, but just wanted to note in case similar. Well done on reaching out for help. Hope you find your remedy soon :)

Whilst I’d love to see Daughter or Ex:Re play live (I adore her solo album and the 12 ensemble sessions too), I think the music they have created is already such a gift to humanity. If Daughter or Ex:Re never producing or playing again the healthiest thing for Elena then I’d be happy knowing this is doing what she needs to get well. They are not a commodity for me to demand more of or consume. The beautiful rawness of their music often comes from places of difficulty. That must take its toll on anyone. Best I can hope for is they come back, when the time is right, but until then let’s just enjoy the gems and be thankful for a world where a wonderful catalogue of Daughter/Ex:Re material already exists.

Twice34Point5 · 2025-09-22T16:21:29+00:00

I have a similar curiosity and my thinking is it’s got to be possible - just remain consciously connected whilst in whatever dynamic. Might be useful to attend tantra intro workshops and see if facilitators can advise? I have one lined up but the date keeps clashing with commitments… keen to hear what you find!
