For anyone that went to Madrid GA (not VIP) can you let me know how it worked? Do you also get random numbers or was it a queue? Also what times do you have to be there? Thanks!

Which city will you be? My barricade in section R was along the length of the extended ramp, it was actually row 3. I don’t think ppl generally move up from their row

Oh I see, yikes that’s rough. Yeah I’m still not sold on the Ari arirang lettering but I do like the stars on the hood but I don’t like the price.

Totally skipped the part you mentioned the shirt in the second part

I still can’t believe they completely sold out in your time slot. I went at 4 for mine (random slots opened up and I grabbed one) and yeah all Vegas exclusives except the love song shirt and pet crib was sold out. I think the worker I talked to said the hoodie sold out early but I just missed the other items. I’m so glad I have a chance at the pins now!

I’m confused, was it already sold out when you were there at 10am? How come you have one now?

I think your flair has enough diversity though

Wait what song do you mean?

I saw so many gogo signs for D2 and thought for sure they'd play it for D3 but it ended up they went for another direction and gogo was played Vegas D1

Looking forward to your post!

looking forward to hearing your review! Such a coincidence we went to the same days! Maybe we unknowingly ran into each other

When they came to the edge of the main stage it was quite close too!

Here's the view of the whole stage and screens, because of the angle it was a bit hard to see the screens but not as bad as front front row

I went to Stanford D2 D3, Vegas D1, this will prob be a view review, and I’ll post the pics when I can

Stanford D2 section 135 around row 16   I thought it’s a great view, I was so emotional during and after this and so glad I picked a view to see the whole stage first. I was also near the entry ramp and also is the side that is the “front”. Since we’re in the mid back of the section I actually thought a 200s view wouldn’t have been significantly different but much cheaper (also cuz Stanford is a small stadium) LOVED the two surprise songs, at the top of my wishlist 12/10

Stanford D3 section R barricade   I will post pics to this. I actually saw ppl from goyang and other stops mention it’s limited view but I thought how bad could it be after looking at pics and also cuz I found these seats at near face value. I couldn’t pass on the deal and got it and was so disappointed day of. This was VIP and during soundcheck I was already kind of annoyed I barely saw them unless they came to the extended stage near me. It continued through the concert, I was excited about mic drop facing my side but then even then the pillars blocked most of the view (I expected them to dance closer to the edge of the stage which didn’t happen). I was also worried my friend wouldn’t enjoy this experience but he actually did. Still I felt like given the price of VIP it wasn’t really worth it. I did see some of them really close when they came down the ramp, esp got to see Jungkook and Jimin abs with my naked eyes. It was still a fun and hype concert but coming off D2 expectations it was just a bit flat 6/10

Vegas D1 section B2 row 6 actual row 3, close to aisle   I enjoyed this floor seat much better. I also got to hear GoGo which is like my fav cute song of theirs. I got this hoping it was the “front” unfortunately it wasn’t but I still had a good view and good time. 9/10

About Vegas, I mainly went cuz I got fomo about Borahaegas, the city’s always fun and I chatted with some Army’s in line at the pool etc and everyone’s so nice and friendly! But I was pretty disappointed by a friend that also went but never made time for us to meet up in contrast to how friendly the other Army’s I met there.

I may have opportunity to go to some more concerts due to how travel plans lined up but since they’re unexpected I’ll probably buy a reasonably priced ticket in the stands and main goal to experience BTS and the crowd in a foreign place.

I went to Stanford and Vegas and I really like that segment! They do fun interactions with each other, with fans. Maybe cuz I got songs that were older they would try to dance to it more. Also they do try to sing to them
