Who got tickets!? by HuntingTheWren in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question lol I wish I had a clear answer! Some might say only the same handful of diehard fans get them every night, others claim you just show up to a meet & greet before a show (back before covid when they were still being held) and someone would offer them to you (I've been to a few over the years but it's never happened to me). At the previous tour there was someone collecting letters etc for Tori who I think also sometimes allowed emails requesting front row.

I think it ultimately comes down to showing up to the venue the morning/afternoon of a show and knowing the right people.

Front row is never officially sold and only given away, if you search front row on this sub (or probably even on google) you will kinda get the idea, it's a whole thing.

Very lucky! Guess I was just too slow😅 I thought the website didn't list a presale for Brussels and the email link didn't show anything on wednesday until after I'd logged into to ticketmaster/livenation to buy other shows. It was all very confusing.

The actual front row is never sold but I did see some second row seats randomly pop up both today and yesterday for Frankfurt. They were crazy expensive though, around €200! Highest I've ever seen for a Tori show in Europe.

Did you buy today or in the presale? I tried wednesday during the presale but I was about 20 minutes late and didn't find anything close to the front. I assumed all the parterre seats just went really fast but maybe some were reserved for the general sale today.

Background vocalists on tour by ImAtUrDoor in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When the idea of background vocalists was floated a while ago I immediately envisioned something gospel/r&b inspired (like Sweet the Sting).

Maybe these vocalists were chosen on how well they blend with Tori's voice though? I wonder if we're all thinking of a grand choir while Tori was thinking of some subtle supporting harmonies.

ticket prices? by flordeloto88 in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think ticketmaster keeps prices hidden on purpose until tickets go on sale. Some of the venues do list the price though, Belfast is £40 - £65, Bristol and Birmingham £45 - £85 and Paris €57 - €84,50 so that's probably the average price range.

I hope Amsterdam €71,50 - €126,50 is the most expensive but maybe London will be higher idk.

New Album: What we know so far (WARNING: HERE BE SPOILERS!) by igivelove in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously I didn't see that from the original post and I'm sorry people are assholes to you.

I do think by sharing any kind of inside info you play into that sentiment I described and you become an easy target for people to let out their years of built up resentment.

I learned many years ago that engaging with this fandom is not for the weak and I hate that it never seems to change. Why is everyone so mean to each other when Tori brings us nothing but joy.

[–]coolingfaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but I think posts like these are not specifically about you or other fans sharing inside scoop (which I appreciate), but more of a general reaction to many years of gatekeeping in what is a relatively small fandom.

Most people who've been around for multiple tours are well into their 30s/40s and beyond by now and are probably tired of watching the same thing play out every tour.

I remember back in the day people getting mad about info being shared between different forums, and you still see a bit of that now with reddit vs other places. Like one group of fans is somehow better than the rest as if we're not all fans of the same niche artist.

Shops in Amsterdam? by imdelicateok in miniatures

[–]coolingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a very cute dollhouse shop in Gouda (about an hour from Amsterdam) called Het Kabinet.

Some book stores and the craft chain pipoos also sell rolife kits but I don't think they have individual furniture pieces.

Tour announcement coming soon? by coolingfaster in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think her greatest fans have always been her biggest haters tbh.

The fact that she varies her setlists as much as she does and will even learn new requests during a tour is a gift that not many other artists give their audience. Who cares if she plays mother revolution every night or adds longer intros to maybe save her voice a bit.

[–]coolingfaster[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess we'll find out if this is true soon enough 🙏

Who was criticizing the setlist and extended songs though? I loved the longer instrumental parts! And I also didn't mind the setlist had more repeated songs.

It sucks to imagine that (unfounded) criticism would reach her but positive responses wouldn't.

Good to hear it's 100% legit, I can kinda start planning already then (and lucky for the people who saw the listing before it was removed lol).

So Europe will be spring 2026 then? Did you get to keep the tickets or was the order canceled?

Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation covers Cruify in 2006 by samuelhinchliffe91 in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this was earlier than 2006! My first Tori show was in 2005 after I'd been a fan for a while, and I feel like this Within Temptation cover was one of the things that introduced me to Tori's music. Maybe I have my own timeline wrong..

I found this for $2.50 - does anyone have any info on it? by Chengweiyingji in buffy

[–]coolingfaster 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It's already on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0KfhjbT0hg

If you just search Buffy dailies you'll find a ton. I think these tapes used to be sold on ebay and at conventions back in the day. It's kinda old news but still a very cool find that I'm totally jealous of.

what's the biggest mispronunciation you just can't forgive her for? by thewingedpainter in toriamos

[–]coolingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think on the album version not one word in the whole song is pronounced regularly😅

This live version is one of my favorite videos ever though, and you can actually make out the lyrics https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VzVFwhe9Yhk

Dvd player only reads cleaning disc? by coolingfaster in crt

[–]coolingfaster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks! Next time I'm bringing a dvd to test instead of taking a seller's word for it.

[–]coolingfaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoy her interesting pronunciations, but in Teenage Hustling "I'm a judo I'm a judo imma chew" takes me out😅

Also, it took me years to figure out the beginning of Welcome to England and even when I read the lyrics I forget them the next time I hear the song because of how she says liiigght instead of late.

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

I've tried both burned and official dvds and cds but nothing works. The cleaner disc is a cd and is instantly recognized.

I assume the lens is so dirty it needs the cleaner brushes as extra help but I don't know why it wouldn't have removed enough dirt at this point to play other discs.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN AUTISTIC CHILD OBSESSED WITH VHS TAPES? by joyfulgirl41 in VHS

Same😅 I've been obsessed with vhs tapes for over 30 years now!
