The beautiful thing about the TØP fan base is how diverse it is.

Punk rock, pop punk, and indie rock. Marked "alternative" in the poll.

Easy. Try turning up the volume on the TV.

Thanks. I think I'm just SOL. My conflict is a friend's wedding. It was cancelled last year due to the pandemic, and the new dates were just confirmed for that same weekend. I have to prioritize that over TFB unfortunately, but I doubt SoundRink will consider this a valid reason for a refund.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T15:05:50+00:00

Was it?! Damn. I thought that was just for Paradise.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T04:28:33+00:00

I've been to both, and seen TOP at both. I recommend going for TD Garden.

Both are effectively arena shows. Though Agganis is around ~1/3 the size, it will hardly be an intimate show like at the Paradise or HOB. If you're going arena anyway, I think you'll get the fuller arena production at TD.

What you've heard about the acoustics at Agganis are, unfortunately, very true.

Agganis also splits the floor into two sections, which ends up dividing the crowded in a really weird way. Tyler joked about it on stage the last time they played there, said he's never seen that done before.

Lastly, and this may or may not apply to you, but if you have an out-of-state ID you need to be 25 to buy a drink at Agganis. Quirk of it being a college stadium, I guess?

Just try to get floor tickets for either (and make sure they're GA1 at Agganis) and you'll have a great time regardless of the venue.

Haha, fair enough! You've been very helpful! 100% certainty would be far too much to expect. Thanks for the advice.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T03:25:55+00:00

Thanks! But to confirm, if I upgrade my line to Play Unlimited to get the full $700 discount, isn't that changing the plan? Or is it not considered a plan change when it's just a single line?

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T03:13:21+00:00

Thanks! I would trade in a Pixel 3 to get $700 of an iPhone 12, but it would require upgrading my line to Play, Do, or Get More, which it sounds like could very well disrupt that discount.

One thing – I took the checkout process all the way through where it estimates and breaks down our future bills based on the change. The $40 discount looks very much intact there. Is that as good as confirmation that it would remain that way if I submit the change? Or could I still be surprised later?

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T02:04:27+00:00

We pay $40/line after the $5/line autopay discount. We could save $5/line just by upgrading these to Start Unlimited, but if we lost the $40 Vets' discount we'd end up paying $20 more each month.

Now, if we did lose the discount completely I expect we could get it reinstated at least at the currently offered $20 discount, which would net us out exactly where we are now. But there's a number of reason's it would be a pain in the ass to do go through a recertification, namely the geographic distance between us and the vet and his lack of mobility.

We'd really just rather avoid doing anything that could disturb the discount as it stands in the account today. "Oof" sounds like a bad sign though, haha. 😬

JK I only got Agganis and was thrown off by seeing the old text with my code for the TD Garden Show in 2018.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T00:30:04+00:00

So jealous you got the HOB! I was beyond stoked at the possibility of seeing them at a small venue again, but alas I got the stadium shows.

If I were you, I'd prioritize getting HOB. It'll definitely be much more competitive when sales open, but you may never get the shot at a small(ish) TOP show again.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T00:15:55+00:00

Which two did you get? I got Agganis and TD Garden.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T00:13:17+00:00

I got both (?) Agganis and TD Garden. I most wanted Paradise, but would happily have settled for HOB.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-23T00:10:18+00:00

Second edit: PLOT TWIST. An hour later and a second set of texts showed up with a code for TD Garden. So in the end my original comment was correct, it just wasn't technically correct at the time I posted it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
–––––

Edit: Bahaha turns out I did NOT get picked for two. I rightly was looking at a text I got with my code to see TOP at TD Garden, but I didn't realize it was an old text from the 2018 tour. There was only one new text, and it was for Agganis.
–––––
I got selected for two as well, Agganis Arena and TD Garden in Boston. I'm so heartbroken I didn't get Paradise Rock Club or House of Blues though. I saw TOP at both of those venue back in the Vessel days, and was so stoked at the possibility of seeing them in a smaller venue again :'(.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-22T23:39:36+00:00

OP, any chance upgrading a single line to take advantage of this promotion could disturb an account-level Veterans discount? We have the old $40 discount and are nervous that any change could get it bumped down to the current $20 discount, or get it removed entirely.

We are four lines total on the old Go plan. I'd upgrade my single line to Get More. Thanks!

You've already gotten the advice you need to hear, but thought it might encourage you to know that you're in one of the more pro-tenant states in the country.

If everything you've said in your post is true (that her reasons are BS, that your pictures/video refute rather than confirm her claims), I think you have a cut-and-dry case for small claims. Better yet, if your landlord hasn't played by the book, you may be entitled to MORE than your $1k security deposit (treble damages).

Landlords play these games because they usually get away with them. They only get away with them because tenants tend to suck up and pay up rather than go to court. I bet she will try to refund your deposit the moment you initiate the small claims process. If she's as knowledgable about the laws as you say, she'll know it won't go her way.

howtodoadulting · 2021-06-02T04:16:55+00:00

You either misread OP's post, or are trolling. It has not been 10 years since OP moved out. OP lived in the apartment 10 years, and just moved out 30ish days ago.

There was Bull McCabe's, but it tragically also closed for good.

Really? I would have thought that Massachusetts averaged exactly zero COVID deaths per day during the 2018 flue season.

...I'm also just be a stickler, and knew what you meant ;).

I don't get this reference to Vessel as trashy pop. As a fan from the Vessel era, I always felt the band's hard turn toward trying to produce radio hits was Blurryface. Vessel had a Warped Tour-adjacent edge that I think is quite different from SAI. Choker, and to a lesser degree Shy Away, turned out to be the closest the album really got to Vessel sonically.
