BTS: Love Yourself World Tour Staples Center P1 GA + Soundcheck

[@michellec3773]

Omg I’m so happy you go to meet them! Hopefully one day I get to see them too💕

[@eccentaecity]

Michelle Cruz thank you Michelle! I wish the same for you, love. They’re definitely one to watch!

[@michellec3773]

Lailani M I was gonna see them in Citifield. I sat an hour before sales were up with my Mac, iPad and phone. Sadly it never got to be my turn in the waiting room to buy tickets 😔

[@eccentaecity]

Michelle Cruz oh no.. I got lucky bc I waited in queue 2 hours prior. And once I got in, I zoomed through my order and checked out as fast as I could.

Hey, by any chance do you remember what they were wearing for soundcheck? I was also there the same day as you but, I am starting to forget the moment as we weren’t allowed to film.

[@Lisa-hu4ot]

Were you lined up to go into sound check by wristband number? Do they stay on main stage or walk down cat walk also? Looking for tips for tomorrow’s show thank you

[@eccentaecity]

Vicki W yeah! Right after you get your GA ticket they give you your soundcheck wristband as well. Have a blast!

[@Lisa-hu4ot]

Lailani Manimbo thank you! My daughter is going to sound check, hoping there’s a place for parents to be when sending in younger kids. If we have seats and don’t need GA wristband, we should still show up early for SC wristband? Is it a mad dash for the stage or dies everyone enter based on their number?

[@eccentaecity]

Vicki W if you have seated tickets you definitely do not have to be there super early. Our soundcheck was at 4:30pm, but we started lining up for it by 2:30pm. It was less than 30 minutes, but I’m sure your daughter will have a great experience. We were escorted out once it was done to join the rest of the GA line. Fortunately I didn’t experience any issues asides some fans cutting in the early hours of GA. But I still had an amazing spot in the end :). Enjoy the show!

[@eccentaecity]

Vicki W there is a number system for the separate soundcheck wristbands, but you guys should have no issue since you won’t have to line up for GA wristbands prior to that. The barricade would be great for her, but there’s plenty of space for the pit if she stands in the back. Think we only had about 300 people for soundcheck, but they only had us on one side of the pit.

[@eccentaecity]

Vicki W you’re welcome!

[@mayamaldo]

for GA, what time did you get there as I can see you're fairly close to the stage

[@eccentaecity]

Maya Maldonado Maya, my friends and I came up with a system to camp out since Tuesday for Thursday’s show. So I was in the first 150 people out of 900s? People aimed to be at the extended stage, while my friend and I stayed on the catwalk in between the main stage and extended stage. Mind you, my friends that were at the extended stage couldn’t see much of the main stage performances.

[@mayamaldo]

Thank you for replying! It looks like you had lots of fun :). A few friends of mine and I have GA and are going to the Fort Worth one and we're kind of nervous because unfortunately we can't camp out :( . We're getting there around 2AM though which isn't crazy early, but not barricade early either sigh. How do you think that would turn out for us? Also if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you?

[@eccentaecity]

Maya, if there's one thing I wish I didn't focus on before my concert is definitely all the worries you mentioned. I'm approximately 5'5, maybe a bit less, but I did wear boots to give me a slight booster height. I ended up getting barricade on the catwalk because everyone wanted to be at the extended stage, that filled up quicker. My best friend who didn't camp out was able to squeeze in and get behind me at the barricade. I don't think you need to camp out. Unfortunately in the main center stage, people will push. So I've seen fans that arrived an hour prior to the GA pit before the concert, and they got pushed all the way near the front. Don't stress too much about not camping out. From what I learned, GA is clearly the best spot to be. It is the closest you'll be to the boys. Even when I ditched the barricade to get to the back of the extended stage, the views were amazing. The back is so underrated because you still get an amazing view with room to actually dance and move around. I hope you and your friends have a blast! Seriously my best experience ever! I ended up going again to their last concert tonight at the Staples center, but unfortunately no GA.

Around what time did you return for sound check?

[@eccentaecity]

BritRose we were told to return by 2:30pm! But our soundcheck wasn’t until 4:30pm.

[@Mamoray]

Was there a separate line for people to wait early for soundcheck like GA does or was it solely a booth where you’d walk up to after it opened? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Your shots look amazing btw, super great spot you had :)

[@eccentaecity]

Mamoray thank you so much! Once we got our wristbands for GA, they gave us our soundcheck wristbands right after. I think they did a great job getting the line moving! P1 seated winners just had to get their soundcheck wristbands.
