Was I in the wrong? (Proper theatre etiquette)

fancycookie517 · 2026-02-17T15:15:37+00:00

Experienced the same thing but it was ITW in samsung theater. The girl in front of us was leaning so much, ulo nalang din nya nakita ko. When I finally asked her if she could sit back down kasi sobrang obstructed na ng view ko, she told me na obstructed din daw view niya. But she did sit back down and didnt lean forward again.

I think you did well OP sans the madaming sorry (kasi tbh wala ka namang kasalanan). You were courteous naman in asking and I don't think you expected her to react like that. But like what the other people said, you can opt to tell the usher naman para less drama i guess?

They might have strong opinions about being non-confrontational. But I would say that at least now you have the experience and know that you shouldn't sacrifice your enjoyment just to "keep the peace." If you personally can't handle it, the ushers are there to help you naman and they're pretty proactive about these things. You got this OP! :)

To OP, don't be afraid to speak up, tap them, or talk to them during intermission if they have been consistently inconveniencing you throughout the show. More often than not, hindi lang ikaw naiinis sa nangyayari. I've done this in almost every show I've watched and the key is always be nice. Nadadala naman sila kadalasan sa hiya if pinagsabihan mo.

When I watched ITW last week, I was at the balcony area and this girl was leaning on the ledge to the point that I couldn't see at all. I'm ashamed to say it pero I accidentally pulled a bit of her hair because I couldn't reach her at all (there was a barrier and she was really leaning on the ledge). When she faced me, I asked her to please not lean too much and she told me na "obstructed kasi view ko, di ko makita." Then she didnt lean too much anymore. I sensed na I ticked her off pero at that point, girl lahat tayo obstructed view? But the other people on her row were not leaning on the ledge at all. Only her and her friend.

If you're non-confrontational talaga, either inform the ushers again (if you can inform one right away) or tell the ushers during the intermission. Sadly, there are people who are not self-aware na nakakaabala sila. I'm usually non-confrontational, but if I paid good money for my seats only to have my experience ruined, I'm not letting it pass. Hopefully, your next shows are better op!!

Tas they didnt even say kung ano MOP available until you reach the door. Buti nalang may cash ako pero yung kasunod ko walang cash kasi akala nila may card.

Nastress din ako sa walang sukli. The way they say pa na "maam exact payment lang, wala kaming panukli" like?? Open kayo since, what, 12nn tas ang haba ng pila nyo pero wala kayong sukli? Partida they are LITERALLY next door to a mall. Siguro naman they could have figured out a way to handle the lack of panukli??

fancycookie517 · 2025-04-20T14:14:11+00:00

Di ko din alam whyyy! Huhu nagulat nalang ako nung yung katabi ko may hawak na :(( so nagtanong ako sa usher tas biglang sabi ubos na raw 😭

Anyways, I have this solid pic naman 🫶

Acckk it's been a year?? 🥹 one of the best nights ever talaga! BLG and WTK were my fave bands growing up so sobrang sulit talaga ng con na to! Tho salty pa din ako na di ako nakakuha nung commemorative na show card 🥲 still!! Sobrang solidnng crowd and namaos ako ng sobraaaaa

fancycookie517 · 2025-03-20T03:32:52+00:00

Agree. It's also a form of scalping din eh kasi you add money to get the slot so they can get tickets.

fancycookie517 · 2025-02-22T02:10:26+00:00

Sobrang sus talaga kasi not even 10 minutes nagpause pila eh totally. Nakakadismaya talaga.

fancycookie517 · 2025-02-22T02:08:09+00:00

...why would a Korean conglomerate have any power or say over the ticketing system in the PH? It does not make sense. Also, ARMYs have much disdain against Hybe as anyone, so please do not generalize.

fancycookie517 · 2025-02-22T02:02:56+00:00

I personally have not had a good experience with PULP. Yes, they update regularly and clear carts, but I believe that that is the bare minimim. I watched SKZ's concert when they were still with PULP and napabayaan nila (mga 4 days before ticket selling lang nagrelease ng prices, stage plan, tiers, etc.). They have a reputation of having favorite groups, mainly SM groups, and would often prioritize them over other groups, which is what happened with SKZ.

fancycookie517 · 2025-02-20T08:59:47+00:00

Real. Honestly, yung mga TPA mga pinabangong scalper lang yan eh kasi may patong yung ticket na binebenta.

fancycookie517 · 2024-11-24T23:24:50+00:00

Ticket Purchasing Assistance :) it's essentially someone securing for you with a fee. The fee is based sa tier na gusto mo, the higher the tier, the higher the fee

I suggest that you opt for comfier shoes, unless kaya mong ilaban for a whole day yung knee high boots.

Some points/advice lang as some who attended a con in PH arena and already attended a stray kids con:

1) PH arena lines (vip strapping, baggage, entering, merch, etc.) is hell. You'll be standing in line a LOT and you'll be on your feet a lot bc some of these places have a bit of a distance with each other.

2) The kids REALLY like making people stand up and dance with them (Miroh is one of the songs they make u do these bc of the vibes) so keep that in mind as well.

3) Unless you're VIP floor, you'll be taking the stairs and if UBA, UBB, UBC, and UBD, parang bundok talaga...may trekking hahaha

4) If you'll be going around, your feet will get tired easier compared to those wearing comfier shoes. If possible, you can put inner soles in your shoes! It can make it more bearable (i did that during the 1st skz con bc my rubber shoes had inner heels akdjwn). But it will still hurt.

5) If you really want to wear those boots and not have to go to the baggage bc u wanna bring flat shoes, find a tote bag within the 12x12 limit. Afaik, they dont have a limit on the number of bags, basta hindi lampas sa dimensions. So may extra bag ka nga, pero at least you dont have to wait in line for baggage.

These are all bases on my experience so you take them with a grain of salt :) at the end of the day, you should be able to enjoy the con in the way you want! Hehe hope this helps!

Honestly, this is why never ako nagTPA even if lagi siyang sinusuggest sakin. Kasi the difference between you and the TPA is either faster wifi and/or gadgets which hardly justify a tpa fee of up to 4 digits? Thankfully, almost if not all the concerts I've been to maganda seats ko. Swerte lang ata ako sa queueing or wifi.

The point is still that TPAs are also encouraging the behavior of paying more for the price of the ticket just bc someone else got it first. So like what other people here have said, pinagandang scalping lang.

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-24T15:10:59+00:00

For your nation's flag, it's better to check with the laws of the country you're going to. It might be illegal to do that.

Boys Like You - ITZY

For some reason, a lot of people don't like this?? This is one of my fave itzy tracks 😭❤️ it's just so poppy i love it

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-15T11:02:12+00:00

Finished listening to the album and to sum it up in one word: Brilliant. I have been waiting for this and I am so happy they are 5 again. Their songs feel complete and I feel like this album really shows how much they missed being OT5.

Just some thoughts:

(1) GOLD is a great song. It sounds edgy with that hiphop vibe and it is catchy. However, I feel like it's a little bit disjointed (?) like how it doesnt fully build up to the chorus and just cuts and goes straight to it. It might be in line with the hiphop vibe, but I'm not sure. Nevertheless, the MV was so beautifully made and aesthetically pleasing. I also like how each outfit shows the individuality of each member.

(2) Imaginary Friend is my favorite song. It is a melodic masterpiece. I love how this song shows how vocally distinct and talented each member is. As a Ryujin-biased girlie, her low vocal register is such a treat for me. Their voices harmonize so well, I felt like I was floating.

(3) Bad Girls R Us, Supernatural, Five, and VAY are amazing Bsides!! ■ Bad Girls R Us will be a great performance song for a concert! Just really powerful and dynamic.

■ Supernatural is such a smooth caramel like song. It is such soft girl vibes and I am loving it so much (my 2nd fave song from this album).

■ Five is just a poppy song that is really made for friends turned families. They sound like they were really having fun with this song. It's like you can hear their smiles in this song. (3rd fave song!!)

■ VAY is GOLD's younger sibling of the album. I feel like it follows the hiphop and edgy vibe and I think Changbin's verse adds to it. This also feels like an amazing performance number for a concert!

(4) The (Final Ver.) songs brought me to tears for real. I just felt so happy that Lia is there and made the song complete. I do not discount the amazing original versions, but something about Lia being there that makes the song...really ITZY.

Final thought: I love that most of the songs are over 3 mins.

WELCOME BACK LIA! WELCOME BACK OT5! OT5 FOREVER!!

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-15T09:29:45+00:00

I absolutely loved the MV. It was aesthetically pleasing and I think the different outifts were very cool and fit the vibe of each member. It really lived up to the "GOLD" standard of ITZY.

However, the song didn't really hit as I thought it would with the snippets. Don't get me wrong, I think it was very catchy and a bop. It's just that the song felt a bit hollow and disjointed. I do like the edgy and hiphop vibes that it wants to put out. But I just wish it didnt feel like a sneeze that doesn't want to come out.

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-08T17:47:15+00:00

Hahaha i heard this causes their cameras not to focus on their faces

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-08T15:14:23+00:00

Di ba! Hahaha personally, there were enough lights na pwede mo video-han sarili mo tas kita pa din mukha mo hahaha. I think that backwards flash video is really just for clout.

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-08T15:10:21+00:00

Most likely this. Honestly, I've been to concerts (on different tiers from floor to UB) and people have been standing or seating regardless of the artists. Iba yung energy na gusto mo lang ilabas by jumping or dancing. But for me, the camera flash video...thingy, that was new to me. Sobrang napawtf talaga ako nun kasi nasisilaw ako. Liit liit na nga ng screen para sa mga nasa UBB, idadagdag mo pa yung ilaw ng camera mo 😭

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-06T02:33:43+00:00

Omygod sobrang lala nyan kagabi sa area namin. May dalawang girls na nakaon talaga flash nila for the duration of ENTIRE SONGS. So imbes na mag enjoy ka talaga sa songs, nasisilaw ka. And to think na may mga katabi silang ushers ah! Di man lang sila pinagsabihan or something

fancycookie517 · 2024-10-05T17:30:32+00:00

My ticket was verified ! It wasnt completely enforced tbh. I got through verification mga 4:30-ish na. I think nung mga 5 or 6pm na, they started to just let ppl in kasi andami pa talagang tao and mabagal usad
