I have been to Ateez concert on 4th March, and I got so lucky with sector vip, I was barricade for main stage (but it was I think right side of main stage) and I record some songs, and parts and all 8 members noticed me vibing and I really had fun. I really recommend to go see them, you will have the best time of your life!

[@alexloveskpop]

and I went to queue in line around 1pm

this helped a lot! just got itzy vip tickets and i am third row on floor. I am short (5'2) so hoping for the best but i am SO EXCITED

I'm going to KBS presents Immortal Songs headliners are Ateez, Psy and New Jeans. I didn't know until it showed up on my FB if I would have k own earlier I could have saved up more for a closer seat. But I'm happy with the ticket I got

Thanks for the Video because I also live in Texas

[@coryxkenshinsbonet4212]

For my next concert I REALLY want and will get vip, soundcheck and front row! 🫡

[@ctrlamxnda]

as you should!!

[@spring..day.]

hi! me and my cousin have been saving up for ENHYPEN’s concert in glendale, but the tickets are selling on AXS and i’ve never used AXS before. i hoped since the venue is a lot smaller i would be able to individually pick the seats, but i’m worried that might not be the case. does AXS work similarly to ticketmaster? i’ve watched a couple other videos where AXS bought out all the tickets and the concert was labeled as “sold out” just for the tickets to be re-sold at higher prices. has that ever happened to you? do you have any tips for AXS specifically? my goal is front row or as close to the stage as possible. thank you! :)

[@ctrlamxnda]

unfortunately on axs you aren’t able to choose your seats :/ for twice for example i used axs for the houston show and i wasn’t able to choose my seat i was given a random seat! i just clicked what section i wanted as in p1 p2 p3 etc (p1 is usually the closests to the stage unless there’s vip then vip is the closests and p3 or p5 is the farthest from the stage and cheaper) and yea axs is similar to ticketmaster except you can’t choose your seat a few days later they’ll release the seating chart and you can “choose” your seat but usually the seats are already taken by then :/

[@fantaisie3507]

Hey stranger! Sorry to bring you back to this comment early in the morning lol, but I hope you have a good time at the concert and that you’re going! I also will be going!!

[@yeeeoonnjuuuuuu]

so real about no one coming to your area in texas, except i literally live in dallas and txt is like allergic to dallas or something

[@bignochi842]

Do you have any experience with AXS? I noticed you mentioned it briefly near the start, but Ticketmaster seems to be the main one. I’m really nervous because Enhypen’s tickets are coming out soon and they’re using AXS this time…. Do you have any tips if possible about AXS?

[@ctrlamxnda]

i have used AXS! a lot of the houston shows the tickets are usually AXS for some reason🧐 and kcon was also on AXS but honestly it’s kinda similar to ticket master! the only difference is depending on the venue they might not let you choose your seat it’s completely random depending on what P sections you want (VIP, P1, P2 etc) for the toyota center in houston you usually can’t choose your seats until maybe after presale and regular sale have passes and then they’ll release the seating chart! i know for Twice VIP they did let them choose their seat but if you didn’t want VIP then they gave you a random seat :/ but with axs there’s less scalpers i’d say! they do have platinum seats but they call them “premium” seats and usually a few days before the concert they release more seats sometimes!

[@bignochi842]

@@ctrlamxndaOHH fewer scalpers is really good! What do the “P” sections mean? Are the P sections just according to the seating chart? And when does the seating chart usually come out on AXS?

[@ctrlamxnda]

the p sections are the tiers of prices so for example for blackpink i was p5 (the cheapest you could get) which was $79 and P1 was around $500 P1 is usually the tier after VIP but if there is no VIP P1 is the most expensive so farther away from the stage = cheaper closer = more expensive and the seating chart comes out at random so if the group you’re trying for is really popular i would definitely try to not wait for the seating chart to pop up

[@etherealkay6517]

i have a question. so aespa will be having a concert in australia. there will be presale tickets. there's also tickets that will also be available to purchase so non presale tickets. will all the tickets be sold out for presale will there be some tickets left for the tickets that are not presale? i've heard some group's presale tickets are all sold out so the non presale tickets end up being cancelled but some groups still have tickets available for non presale tickets?this is for ticketek

[@ctrlamxnda]

i honestly just depends on the company selling the tickets (Ticketmaster, axs, etc :// i can’t say a definite yes or no it really just depends!

[@elfies.bazaar13]

in connection to the two accounts for being in the ticket queue, can you have say two accounts (different emails, phone, etc) open in two tabs on the same window or does it have to be two different devices?

[@ctrlamxnda]

i usually have them on two different devices!

[@ersyyy123]

Tsym for the video its so helpful !!❤❤❤Im a new kpop fan and I have a question abt ticket selling .Like the group/company tells you like days before what day the ticket sell and what date he concert is going to be ??I want to go to the Straykids concert i heard they are perfoming in Milan .Can you help out a newbie😂😂idk anything abt concerts 😢😢😢😂😂

usually the the arena that is hosting the concert will tell you when tickets go on sale and when the concert should be as well as the groups official twitter!

[@jisiijisii952]

How can you know if the venue has seats on the "floor"? And if it does how was your experience? Im going to try see itzy in australia but i dont know what seats to pick!

[@ctrlamxnda]

if it doesn’t say GA Floor on the ticketing website more than likely the door will have seats

[@coinflippppa]

I'm going to my first VIP concert and I'll have my lightstick with me. I was wondering, does it get annoying to hold your lightstick? I like to be hands-free if possible. The venue said they'd allow 12x6x12 clear bags so I was thinking of getting a larger clear bag to hold my lightstick and merch. Not sure if this is a good idea or not because all the videos I've seen, everyone has a small bag which that logic makes sense to me too!

[@ctrlamxnda]

personally i don’t get annoyed with my lightstick! but everyone has a preference! if you don’t wanna be holding it all the time you can always put the strap on and let it dangle!

One question for fans in the US do we have to get the membership to get the pre sale code for the ateez concert or no and how do we get the pre sale code if we miss the sign up registration for it

[@ctrlamxnda]

every company is different! when i got a presale code for ateez i didn’t need to buy the membership! they had a website where you would sign up for a possibility of getting a presale code! sometime companies do ticketmaster presale others do a different route like TXT for example you need to weverse membership to sign up for presale! but everyone is different not sure what ateez is going this time around

[@ariaking2576]

@@ctrlamxnda ohh ok thank you so much

[@cheumeulchu]

I have some questions about attending such concerts! Specifically ATEEZ 1) Does Soundcheck mean you need to arrive earlier than the starting time of the concert no how long does it take before the main event begins? 2) I’m planning to buy VIP ATEEZ tickets but since the concert isn’t in my country, but in a country that is 2 hours away (taking an airplane). My main concern for this is that I BUY the concert tickets but something comes in the way and I cancel my flight to that country. So my question is what is best to do at a moment like this? 3) This venue planned out to not have seats even for VIP and GA so it’s a standing concert for the entire 3 hours, that’s why I was wondering if I bought the VIP tickets that include soundcheck, does it mean I’ll have to stand for the entirety of soundcheck + concert or does soundcheck have some kind of break in between for the artists to change their outfits? (The concert begins at 9 PM and the Soundcheck begins at 6 PM) is this common? Thank you a lot for the tips and advice on the video! It really helped me out since this is my first kpop concert hopefully.

[@ctrlamxnda]

hello! 1. so yes if you get a soundcheck ticket you MUST arrive earlier if you wanna experience soundcheck usually they’ll tell you there’s a check in time so you can get in line for soundcheck as well as give you any VIP gifts if your ticket has any! soundcheck is usually 3-4 hours before the concert starts 2. if you are unable to make the show unfortunately there’s not much you can do :(( you can always sell the ticket if you have too! so if you don’t wanna pay so much for VIP just incase that happens i would get a regular ticket and not a vip one so just incase you CANT sell it you won’t be loosing that much money 3. so if your concert is GA for VIP just like mine was for ateez you are standing the entire time unfortunately! there is a break in between soundcheck and the show but usually if you leave your spot you’ll lose your spot :// so it’s best if you don’t wanna lose your place not to leave but if you’re okay with being further back from the stage then you’re more than welcome to leave but just be prepared to not have the same view as you did during sound check. so basically you’re just standing for the entire time (so i’d wear comfy shoes!) but yes it is common if the show is GA (there’s no seats) you will be standing the entire time more than likely!

[@cheumeulchu]

@ctrlamxnda Oh, okay! Thank you so much!! That makes it so much clearer ❤️ Just one more about the little break in between soundcheck and the main concert. After the soundcheck is finished, they'll take you out of the venue so you can come back in later for the concert, or could we just stay in our places until the concert begins? Excuse me for asking many questions for now, but your experiences seem to help a lot! Thank you so much again for the clarification ❤️

[@ctrlamxnda]

so for my ateez concert! we stayed in our spots we didn’t get to leave!

@ctrlamxnda Hiii! I just wanted to update you randomly that I've finally attended my first official concert and K-pop concert!! I'm very excited that I was able to see ATEEZ and hear them sing their songs live!! I got VIP, and it was an amazing experience. Soundcheck was very surprising and fun as well, and everything went very calming and flawless. Thank you so much for all the advice. ❤️ I am currently going through post-concert depression 😭 lol. I just feel like I was too shocked to process seeing them irl that I kind of forgot what happened in some moments or even reach a point where I don't comprehend that I've seen my faves. Thanks again, and I hope we can continue our journey to attending such enjoyable concerts!! It was so much fun :) ❤️❤️

[@CarmenMartinez-xg6gl]

i’m seeing nct dream in houston and we’re trying to find a hotel close to the venue!!! any recommendations?

[@ctrlamxnda]

it honestly just depends on your budget!! i usually try and stay at a hotel with friends so we can divide the cost so it’s cheaper!! but i would definitely look at hotels that are by the venue! like a 10 minute drive or so!! there’s a few !!

i was atiny vip we were the first ones for everything :)

[@tira_misooo]

This might be a dumb question, but how do platinum tickets work? I’m planning on purchasing platinum tickets for enhypen and I’ve never purchased any sort of vip ticket before! Do platinum ga tickets have a certain part of the floor reserved for them? Are platinum tickets always floor tickets or are they seated as well? Thank you! ^^

[@ctrlamxnda]

if you’re buying from ticketmaster or AXS i would DEF stay away from platinum UNLESS HYBE says that their “VIP” tickets are called platinum! usually platinum tickets fluctuate in price depending demand! I know enhypen is having a membership presale so if you’d want to be apart of that you’d need to purchase the membership! if not they’re having regular presale and regular ticketing as well! usually VIP gets sold out during presale from what i’ve seen! AND usually VIP tickets are closest to the stage!

[@ctrlamxnda]

also depends on the venue on what type of “seating” they have

[@tira_misooo]

[@marcelamorais5087]

if i signed up for the weverse pre sale and got a code can i use that same code on my other devices w diff accounts?

[@ctrlamxnda]

you can try but if ticketmaster believes you’re bot they’ll block you and won’t be able to get tickets :// so whichever account gets in first i’d just use that one! because sometimes times ticketmaster when you sign up for the “weverse” presale on ticketmaster they’ll link that account you received the email code and you’ll only be able to use that one! happened to me for seventeen! i was only able to use the account that the email got the code.

[@anaisfeys872]

Do u know if the GA or seated tickets are more expensive ??

[@ctrlamxnda]

just depends on the company that makes the prices! and it also depends if there’s any vip benefits added
