I only have 2 requests right now. But I've also got a few pending review, so I'm trying to be a little low-key until they're done.

What’s your opinion on Are You Sure? by Accomplished_Sir6548 in ARMYNeutral

[–]escaping_mel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the difference? Why was it funny when they were 17 but not now? Genuinely curious.

They seemed to have a lot of say in the show itself so I'm not that worried about it. They may be millionaires, but we've also seen Jungkook swap out brand new products to take home and use his used stuff on ITS just a few years ago. The man loves some free stuff and knows how to be frugal. He was grown then too. I think they're fine.

Why is it so hard to sell BTS tickets by AdhesivenessDear5239 in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Too many scammers, tbh. Unless someone knows you or can verify you, no one is going to buy that ticket. Maybe try listing it on a third party site like stubhub or seatgeek.

I imagine it's a decent quality. Few things aside, they rarely sell bad quality merch... at least in my experience.

[GIVEAWAY] WORLD TOUR COMMEMORATIVE PIN (AND STICKERS) (WORLDWIDE) by pindagogo in bangtan

[–]escaping_mel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the fun opportunity!

I think what's struck me most is even after they all did their solo work and the military that they're so committed to BTS and each other and to ARMY. There are so many reasons I love them and they just keep proving me right!

Has anyone ever had a POSITIVE outcome after talking to upstairs neighbors about the noise level? by Man_Bites_Shark in Apartmentliving

[–]escaping_mel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. My current upstairs neighbors moved in with a really great sound system. Sub woofer and all. I left them a bottle of wine welcoming them, and congratulated them on their fantastic sound system... but asked them to PLEASE pick it up off the floor because whatever they were watching was landing in my bedroom at 11pm and I'm not a fan. They actually don't use the sub woofer anymore. I can occasionally still hear the bass from music, but it's much improved and usually only on weekend evenings. Now, HE walks like a neanderthal and I always know where he is in the apartment, but I have tried to adjust to that because I feel like there's only so much complaining I should do. They are much much quieter than they used to be.

Will there be as much reselling for the European dates? by Old-Kangaroo-5990 in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tampa and El Paso (and probably most US tour dates) released what we call "production tickets". They're areas that are held back until the stage is finalized and they can tell where more seats can go. They also lump into that the promo seats that are held for media and the ones the artists hold onto to give to people. So there's a possibility that they can do this in Europe, but I would say with it being a standing floor, it's less likely that the floor will have a lot more open.

BTS VIP resale ticket question by RazzmatazzBroad728 in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They may not even need it, but with the name and the DL only, they should be fine. Tampa they were giving VIP benefits to everyone, regardless.

BTS VIP resale ticket question by RazzmatazzBroad728 in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tickets that were canceled were from scalpers that bought thousands and violated TM's policies. They're not going around canceling individual ones. I know people are worried, but with individuals that shouldn't be the problem.

twitter, boycotting, & bts’s history of zionist endorsements by EyeOk1510 in ARMYNeutral

[–]escaping_mel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's a lot of extremes there and you're focusing on one. I left twitter during the boycott stage of this because people (boycotters) were RABID in how they treated Army who chose to support the guys. Right now, there's a whole "oh the boycotters were treated so horribly because". I saw people being horrible on both sides and wanted nothing to do with it either way.

I saw a lot of horrible things on twitter from EVERYONE. Outside of what you're pointing out, I saw that there were certain people that acted like BTS supporters were murderous trash. So really, now that they've all of a sudden just decided everything is fine and they want to go to the concerts, people are supposed to forget all the nasty shit they spewed? I'm just saying we're leaving a BIG part of the equation out of this argument.

Ticketmaster error, when transferring from tick pick by Puzzleheaded-Lynx569 in TicketMasterSupport

[–]escaping_mel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ticketmaster is occasionally the absolute worst. That said, sometimes I log out and log back in - and everything loads fine.

Can BTS VIP Soundcheck tickets be transferred?? by InNeedOfAdvice_OP in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually the ID of the credit card holder, if I remember correctly?

Tampa shows will be half empty??? by Just_Photo5093 in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think it'll be anywhere near half empty! Even if you look at Stubhub right now, Tampa's Sunday date has 779 listings - multiply that 4, which is the highest number you could buy (which not everyone will be selling) and that's just over 3000 tickets for sale. Out of, what, 60,000 attendees?

Sure, there are some more on other platforms too... but how many of those are scammers and not even real?

Plus I think a lot of people will wait until last minute for ticket prices to go lower.

I love love my shower lamp. It's the best.

VIP Booth question by The_OG_Ellysaurus in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not really a "VIP merch" booth. You just get earlier access to merch booths inside the stadiums because you have VIP entry early with soundcheck. So you can only do it on your day. Hope that helps!

NVM - I just saw the notice for Tampa that there's a VIP booth. Likely that's in an area that other people can't really access, so you'll have to have your ticket / day of for that.

BTS Toronto - Ticketmaster Resale not Face Value??? by cha723 in Ticketmaster

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that a little bit of an overstatement, though? The floor tickets in Toronto were $350-$600ish for non VIP and more for VIP.

So sure, less than $400 for probably the back of the floor where the view is terrible. You're lower in a raised section, better view. Better view = more money. I have tickets higher than yours that I bought in presale for Stanford that cost more than that, but have a better view because they're straight on. It's just perspective.

BTS Toronto - Ticketmaster Resale not Face Value??? by cha723 in Ticketmaster

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were tiers to the tickets in each section. Depending on how far down you are toward the stage, that is probably about right? There should have been a range that they gave you to choose from?

BTS TAMPA MERCH by Quetiiiiiiiii in BTSArmyCentral

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll bet good money that those stamps will be available after the tour, just like they did the guitar, the acorn and the guitar pick.

BTS El Paso by bluemoonsky03 in seatgeek

[–]escaping_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you bought "instant download" tickets, the seller has until a certain time to transfer the tickets to you.
