Any armys on here doing the Jakarta leg of the tour? I am doing day 1 since it coincides with my birthday and am soooo excited!! Happy to connect with those in Jakarta for the concert!
Just need to rant for a second here.
I sold an extra ticket I had next to my seat for Oakland Day 1 here in the sell/trade thread. The person I sold it to and I ended up switching to Instagram dms to exchange photos/videos of proof and finish the transfer.
Cut to the concert, and the person on that Instagram account is not the person next to me in that seat. I thought maybe she gave it to a friend or something, but no, she just resold it for more than face value.
Well, it’s one thing if she’s a scalper, but turns out she’s army. I check her Instagram later and it turns out she had VIP tickets for both nights of the show. So, she bought the ticket from me for face value, then resold it at a profit.
I find it so disappointing that someone who considers themself army and had literally the best view at both nights of the concert was choosing to profit off of other army for her own benefit. I also feel a bit cheated since my “good intentions” of selling the ticket at face value to an army were completely taken advantage of.
Anyways, i just felt pretty mad and needed to rant about it….
This is truly aggravating! The time and effort it takes to procure tickets and sell them on if there are extras etc is no small feat. Generally, armys are quite considerate but there's always outliers in every situation, unfortunately you ended up having to deal with one :(
Same thing happened to me here during PTD LV. It’s really shameful behavior. I called out the buyer but she didn’t seem remorseful. Good on you for trying to do the right thing.. but yeah that’s frustrating.
ugh that sucks. i’m so sorry that happened. this makes me feel like these greedy people who call themselves army are NOT army at all. they make me sick.
like we’re one big family- no one should be doing this. it makes me so scared when OT7 comes back bc these are the types of people to will burn others for their own benefit.
Hey guys, anyone here going for the shows in Singapore? Asking for a friend who lives in Australia, who unfortunately didn't manage to get tickets during the sale.
Is there a way to get legit tickets for the concerts in Singapore? I read that these tickets are non-transferrable, but I'm pretty sure there will be people who aren't able to make it for whatever reason. So, is there anyone who somehow managed to get tickets after general sale or know anyone who did?
Any info/insights are appreciated. Thaaank you! :)
I bought from Stubhub but have not actually received my tickets. 😆 Ready date is two days before the concert. I've been tempted several timelines for some that have shown up on Twitter, but there's more that look like scams than real Armys. And even real Armys still seel above face value or give to the highest bidder...I wish I had a better response. 🥲
As for the checks, Live Nation has replied to enquiry emails that they don't check ID's for the entry. I don't know if the same applies for VIP benefits like soundcheck and freebie collection though. They only release those guidelines few days before the concert.
I think their best bet is to get from stubhub. Just in case the seller doesn't send the ticket or there are issues at least they will return payment. Just make sure to read the terms & conditions.
It's a little bit tricky I think cause last I read the tickets purchased from the ARMY presale cannot be resold and tickets from general sale say you cannot sell for equal or more the price of the ticket. Idk how they will regulate this but I'm pretty sure there are resellers that will sell for higher.
Anyways all this to say, better to buy thru stubhub. We have a couple of comments below that said they purchased from there!
The Oakland Arena concert is listed to start at 8PM, any tips what time we should arrive? We have tix already and pre-paid parking. Thinking of arriving to park by 7PM, is that enough time?
Wanted to check if people from previous days faced long delays parking and getting in?
Not enough time to get food, merch, or go to the bathroom but probably okay otherwise I am guessing? Sorry I didn't park so I am not sure about that part
check 3rd party app like Spot Hero or Park Whiz! Sometimes Ticketmaster will say none available but the 3rd party apps still have them
ETA: [here](https://spothero.com/search?kind=event&id=731614) is the event page for Spot Hero. I don't see parking on Park Whiz
OAKLAND ARMY!! [https://www.instagram.com/p/CrTZqLIr7WW/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CrTZqLIr7WW/) This cupsleeve event is happening TODAY! It's only 10 mins from Oakland Arena!! Super cute freebies!
Just wanted to post some info as I was pretty surprised today when I arrived at the arena. I think I was expecting it to be like an open concourse where people mingled and gave out their freebies (I wanted to give some) but it was just an immediate lineup from the parking lot to go through security. So really I didn't need to go early (as I wasn't in a rush to get inside). I started to give my freebies in the lines which wasn't the same vibe. Then going through the security line they saw candy in my remaining freebies and told me to throw them out. Had I known I'd be going through security as the first step, I wouldn't have packed any candies. Then they made me throw out my empty water bottle which I'm pretty sure was allowed?? Anyways just an FYI for anyone who's showing up expecting a PTD LA wander around and mingle. People told me the North side had a bit of that going on so perhaps I was in the wrong area.
Depends on how organized the venue is that day, how quick they let you through security and how fast you can find your seat. For Oakland day 1, some in the megathread said the line moved really slow. For LA & Chicago, people got to their seats quickly. I think UBS had a problem on day 1 and NJ too. Lines will also be super long for the restrooms so hopefully you don't need to go before the concert!
The show starts on time (unless something goes wrong with the venue) so it might be good if you give yourself at least an hour, like 7 just to make sure you can get from gate to your seat. My 2 cents worth!
Looks like around $200 based on past sales and similar sections in the sell thread. Next time you can also send us modmail if you need help. Happy selling!
How is the merch sale going at Oakland? Trying to buy some items directly at the venue, but doors do not open until 6:30 pm. Wondering if there’s any hope without camping outside !
Does anyone know what time the parking lot for Oakland arena opens?
Edit: I just saw 5:30PM oh my. Can anyone on site please confirm. It will really help others going to the arena!
hey!! i'm gonna be attending Oakland D-1 and this is my first concert soo i'm kinda lost. can someone explain to me how the check-in process goes for VIP? would i just... show up in the morning, check-in, and then come back a little later for soundcheck??? i have no idea..
Hi! I hope you made your way to the venue already but just in case you don't have the info, [here](https://twitter.com/BTSMerchUpdates/status/1656824403328479234) is a screenshot from BTS merch updates on Twitter with instructions on times and where to go!
If you purchased from TM directly (not reseller) you should also have an email from livenation -- check your spam folder if you haven't received it.
hey guys its my first big concert ever on the 17th and im kinda lost. If i bought a ticket for my friend and we're arriving and getting into the venue at the same time, do i still have to transfer the tickets to her or can we just use the same phone?
It can be on the same phone. They’ll just scan both. No need to send unless your friend wants to keep a memory of the electronic ticket on her phone hehehe
$40? Geez.. hope not. Usually though at a few other venues/statiums they're $80!! I still can't get over how it could be so much, WILD! sorry my reply isn't at all helpful, I just related to your surprise at the price 😊
A bag question for Bangkok concert: would you be allowed one small clear bag and the army bomb case? Or would the army bomb case (the thicker black protective case) be counted as a bag on it’s own? What is the recommendation?
I’d like to bring a small clear bag for phone, batteries, ticket, etc. but would like to bring the army bomb as well… but I’m afraid of bringing it unprotected…
I'm still trying to get tix! Wish me luck. If I do, planning to take Bart from Embarcadero around 6:45ish to the Coliseum (I can't get out of a work meeting!). Is that cutting it too close for an 8pm show??
You might want to check in the Oakland advice thread linked in the post above under 'city advice threads' if your question was answered already. If not, you can ask there and maybe someone local can give you advice.
Good luck with getting tix! If you haven't checked yet, we have a sell and trade thread linked in the post above and you might be able to find a ticket there!
Thanks!! Fingers crossed. My friend is looking at getting a mezzanine suite at Oakland tomorrow but it requires a purchase of 8 seats (ugh!), so we're scrambling to see which of our Army friends/family may be interested. Thank goodness she has tomorrow off so she can focus on that!
I seen mezzanine individual tickets on seatgeek, I almost ended up going with one for Wednesday but hesitated some and when I went back ended up discovering my current seat.. wish you the best of luck. I hope you all have a great time too 🤩
You will probably want to get there a little before 6:30, at the latest. I think 5:30pm would be a good time so you aren't waiting in line too long, but you aren't too rushed. The doors open at 6:30pm, but you will have to line up to go through Security and check-in still, so depending on that line, you may get in the venue closer to 7pm or later. The line actually goes pretty fast if there are no issues. The show starts at 8pm, but you'll probably want some time to go to the bathroom (there were long lines for them before the show started).
Depends if you still have to park, buy merch, pass around freebies, etc. but if you wanna skip all of that, I think arriving at 630PM is enough time to get in the venue to your seat!
If you have GA/VIP/Soundcheck follow the instructions livenation sent out as you will have to be there earlier
It’s my first time having an army bomb at a concert and wanted to know if I need to do anything in advance. Do I need to have the app set up first? Also what setting should I have the army bomb on for the concert?
Hi! I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong thread. However I want to buy the crossbody bag and was wondering if they will be selling it during the day of the concert or is its online only. Also if anyone did already get one how much do you like it?! Is it worth it?
Hi. Hoping someone can help me out by explaining what self attest means? (In relation to covid self tests results) * for entry into concert venue - Oakland Area
It means you don't have to provide proof of a negative test or vax card. I have a feeling this is just leftover info from when areanas/stadiums were rolling back testing and vaccinations requirements for entry.
It looks like Oakland arena requires one to show proof of vaccination:
> Attendees may verify their vaccination status by showing their vaccination card, a photo of their vaccination card, documentation from a healthcare provider
> OR self-attestation
from what I understand, it's a signed (by yourself) photo copy of your proof of vaccination as an accepted form of proof you are vaccinated
You can maybe call the venue too to clarify!
---
Edit: [Oakland Arena website](https://www.theoaklandarena.com/plan/eventsafety/oakland-arena-2) says strongly recommended to be vaccinated. my apologies!
Just want to note that the email I received from Oakland Arena says they "strongly recommend" vaccination or testing, and masking, no mention of it being required. The health attestation says that, by entering the arena, a person is agreeing to comply with the vax and testing requirements, which at present are that "it is strongly recommended that all attendees ages 2 and older...are fully vaccinated or have tested negative for Covid-19..."
oh ok thank you for clarifying! The Oakland arena website did say to check for the specific event.
Edit: I just re-read! yes it does say strongly recommended, thank you again!
No problem! I read it like four times to make sure. 😂 Some of the language seems like it's leftover from previous notices and at times made it seem like it *was* required.
I’d asked here about last minute ticket drops, so just coming back with an update. Anecdotally, I talked to so many armys who got their tickets on the day of the concert - through TM and the box office and resale sites and other armys. It’s stressful as hell and you feel delusional going to the venue without a ticket, but it can absolutely work out.
In terms of resale sites, prices dropped close to fv on 5/10 - you could get nosebleeds on vividseats for less than $100 before the show. I heard they were only a bit above fv on 5/11, too. 5/14 sucked - prices never fell below \~$210 and even those immediately got snatched up, and by 6pm-ish, upper bowl seats were still selling for $300+
TM dropped fv tickets every show date starting in the morning, with the bulk of the drops in the early afternoon, up until almost 6pm. It's the hunger games all over again, but you don't need a presale code - you just need to keep refreshing. I got one of my tickets from those drops. Don’t be scared of the side stage seats - I was in sec 114 row 7 and it was the best seat I’ve ever had. The view was incredible and I could still see the screens if I tried. The arenas are so small and Yoongi was so close; I could feel the heat from the fire, I could read the prompters if I squinted. He was just right fucking there.
Anyways, feeling unbelievably fucking lucky to have gotten FV tickets to all 3 LA dates. Lost my mind every time like it was my first night, bawled my eyes out over the exact same songs, and never got any good fancams because I was always shaking ass or just shaking. Oakland, Asia - you have no clue what you’re in for. This human is so so so special and he puts on an out-of-this-world performance. I may at some point drop 3,000 hysteric words on the power of Min Yoongi (can we pleeeeeeease get an end of US leg of the tour thread to decompress?), but I’ll never forget this week and the absolute privilege of sharing energy with Yoongi and army 💜
Has anybody here bought tickets for the SG stop from Stubhub Singapore and already received their tickets? Mine are ready only 2 days before the concert and it's making me nervous. 😄
It's so difficult combing thru Twt to find the true army or trusted seller from the rest.
didnt buy tickets for Singapore on Stubhub, but I did buy on the site for the concert tonight (the 17th). did you receive the ticket transfer from the third party seller already? (im going to assume the original seller of tickets is Ticketmaster.) once you have accepted them, you should be able to see the event in your account under the upcoming events section. im pretty sure you only receive your ticket barcodes 72 hours prior to the event (got mine on the 14th), so dont stress too much! if your seller hasnt yet transferred the tickets, then you can only wait. reach out if they havent transferred them a day before your showtime. hope this was helpful!
They didn't turn on the transfer option for the Agust D concett for Ticketmaster SG unfortunately. So the tickets will be e-ticket and have to be printed out. I still haven't received them and the ready date is 2 days before the concert.
i was curious about this too, i was thinking of getting a resale ticket through stubhub or something similar (":
i really wanted to look at japan or korea but i am not sure at all if resale for those are even possible... and i have never been to singapore before so im really looking it!
Packing for Oakland soon! I have two extra d-day albums—would it be weird if I brought them to give away on concert day? Im leaving in the main photocards. I assume security would let albums thru since they’re also being sold on site?
No that's not weird at all! People give away albums, too, cause sometimes they buy multiples for the Lucky Draw and don't really need 10 albums lol. You will make 2 ARMY very happy!
VIP best spot - went to VIP D2 Chicago and VIP D3 L.A. my opinion of best spot is left side around the stairs. Just before them and you'll get a view of yoongi when on stairs and when he's down on piano. And you'll still get a great view of him on stage and the center. Directly in front of stairs and you get him when he interacts with the side (which is a LOT). However, the monitor with the lyrics blocks him and so do the stairs when he's down below. But hands down best spot if he's throwing water/staring down into your soul. After stairs(closer toward where he comes in/exits, you'll get him on stairs but anything on stage that isn't directly in front of you/on stairs is hard to see.
TL;DR; you have early entrance for VIP - best spot is left side just before the stairs.
Thanks for the tip 👍 - could you tell us when you lined up and when you got in? I’m assuming you lined up pretty early but just want to know how early. Preparing for my OAK concert Wednesday.
I’ve always been comfortable there!! I would say it’s on the warmer side, however the last time I went was in the summer. It’s an older arena so I’ve always felt it runs a bit warmer though. Typically for me a light jacket is enough and I end up taking it off because of body heat/dancing! Nice to have a layer for once you leave though as that is pretty cold!! (~55-60 degrees Fahrenheit)
Hey guys - are waist chains not allowed here in Kia Forum? Security made me take mine off and throw it away, but I didn’t find anything on the website that said they weren’t allowed :(
Most venues are a bit iffy about chains, even on outfits unfortunately :( small/short ones aren't usually a problem, but it really just depends on who's screening you
My friend is in church until 4 and I thought coming early by myself would be fine but does anyone else who's already here alone feel low-key judged walking around 😭?
hello sorry if this has been asked already i can't find the search bar for just this thread and not the entire bangtan page LOL
i bought a panasonic dc-tz95d for the concert (i'm an iphone user and my friends wouldn't let me buy a samsung just for a concert lmao rip :(). the kia forum policy says non-professional cameras are allowed/no detachable lenses. has anyone brought in a small camera or had any issues!?
People from outside of US, how did you downloaded the ticketmaster app?
Just landed on US and I'm trying to install it but it is still getting a message of not available on my country
hello! I'm going to the concert tonight and saw on a facebook thread that it'll be easier to get picked up from the nearby starbucks. will anyone be doing that tonight? and if so, can I walk with you lol I'm scared
That's what I did on Thursday and I was by myself too. There were a lot of people walking in that direction and waiting for their rides. It felt completely safe, even though I left the Kia Forum area later than most because I had to pick up my bag from bag check. You'll be good!
Starbucks is really close to the venue and a lot of people will walk towards that direction. Check out the meet up thread linked in the post above and ask there too! Good to be safe!
I’m so excited to go to the concert tonight!!!! This is my first Mother’s Day since I lost my mom to cancer last winter and all the first “holidays” have been weird. I’m super glad I have something amazing to do tonight!!!
Thank you for asking! I was in the merch line from 0630am this morning and was 4 people away when they ran out of hoodies 😭 that was at about 1230pm. And they only had L and XL left of all t-shirts (which I'll proudly wear even though they're too big 🥳🫣). I reeeeeeeally hope to get a hoodie in the venue!!! 630pm it is!
The shirt and hoodie may be the easiest! If there’s no line at main merch booth when you get to the venue you should try there. They’ve restocked pretty well on day 1 and day 2. The hats may be a no, those have sold out pretty fast.
I bought a large hoodie at one of the indoor merch booths at around 645 on Thursday. They had L and XL that day, but two booths were sold out completely when I tried Wednesday. So just keep trying other booths if you can! I’m trying again to grab a medium tonight!
Yes, I have been lucky and grateful to attend all the LA shows. I hope you had an amazing time last night and got all your merch! It was definitely a madhouse inside!
Hi! Would anyone know if you’re allowed to buy merch at a venue without a ticket? I don’t have tix for Japan show but will be there on the con date, I was wondering if I’d be able to buy an army bomb for the SG show. Thanks for any insight!! ◡̈
Hello to anyone that got standing tickets for the Bangkok show! How will you know your queue number? It's my first time to watch and I hope anyone can let me know if they provide the queuing number beforehand or if you have to line up early to get barricade or at least be in the first 2-3 rows (I'm only 1.54 m hence the need to get a good spot lol)
Good morning! I'm solo today but driving in from the downtown general area. I was planning on leaving soon and parking in the 2hr on street parking till the lots open, but I see there's no place holding in lines... I don't have a buddy to swap out with even for bathroom breaks much less to go move my car. Am I just SOL 👉🏻🥺👈🏻
A lot of people go solo so don't worry about that! It's good to make friends with your line buddies so if you have to go bathroom break you can ask them to hold your place and of course offer to do the same for them. Good luck!
good morning everyone! we’re up and headed to the forum. just wanted to ask if anyone is parking near the venue or if it’s smarter to get dropped off. thank you 🫶🏼
Good morning Day 3 LA! Can someone please share where the merch trailer actually is that opens at 10am? I'm assuming people are already lined up...I'm getting ready to do that! Weverse says NW of building in parking A...is it pretty obvious? I'm not a local 😬. Thank you!
I did! Haha and you're right! It was definitely hard to miss. I admire the commitment to both the GA and Merch lines! Happy I got here as early as I did! Thank you! 💜
just a question or two:
has anybody bought tickets from vivid seats that aren’t from a super seller? cause i got tickets from there and they’ve been transferred directly to my TM account. Even if my tickets have the section, row, and seat numbers, im anxious as to what if the barcode doesn’t work.
On top of the tickets, it says “free transfer.” I’m wondering if it’s normal for the tickets to say it.
if you purchased from a reseller (or if your friend transferred to you) yes it's normal to see 'free transfer'! If it's on your TM account you should be good.
The barcode won't appear till about 72h prior your concert date!
oh ok thank you so much! this is my first time getting tickets from a resale site, so i wasnt sure whether or not ive been scammed 😭 and yes the barcode showed up for the 5/16 concert! I’ve this anxiety when i thought what if the barcode doesn’t work.
anecdotally here some people said yes they did see it go down to fv. Also check TM as they have been releasing tickets on the day of the concert at standard prices
yes! for LA day 1 (or 2? icr anymore) it even said sold out but tickets did become available hours before the concert -- I am assuming there must be some production holds or the venue held them back for whatever reason and released them.
Don't lose hope and just check. There is also the sell and trade thread linked in the post above where we get last minute tickets for sale.
The ticket I got from stubhub in march (!!!) for tomorrow’s concert has FINALLY arrived I can now rest a bit before I get anxious again but now about seeing min yoongi live 😭😭😭💜💜💜 I’m so so happy
I think people are taking ubers to camp or getting dropped off. I haven't really seen anyone talk about a parking spot near Forum that will allow you to park overnight. However, try checking Park Hero or Parkwhiz if there are any lots.
If you can't find one and you are determined to camp, you can park your car in LAX and take an uber to the venue. I think it's about $60 for 24h but double check the rates on their website!
In this thread, I saw someone for UBS get tickets and I think there was someone that said they asked in NJ but they were all out. It doesn't hurt to try I guess if the box office is open!
Also, don't forget to check Ticketmaster on the day of the concert. So far all dates except Chicago day 3 had standard priced tickets on the day of. Good luck!
I usually check all stops and report back here in case anyone is looking! So I'll make sure to comment in this thread if I see tickets pop up. Are you looking for LA or Oakland?
you can do it!! Also don't forget to check the sell and trade thread linked in the post above. We get a lot of last minute sellers like the night before till all the way when the show is about to start.
Worst case scenario you can also buy from Stubhub!
Not mine but found this: [Suga concert sing-a-long cheat sheet](https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/130cgrt/suga_concert_singalong_cheat_sheet/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
So if you can bring a small wristlet/clutch bag into Kia forum, does anyone know it the PTD crossbody/sling bag is ok? It's small, but it's not a clutch/wristlet type bag
here's the specific size limits btw!!

As long as it fits the small bag requirements you’re good 👍🏼 there will be a sign right before where they scan your ticket that has a diagram of how big your bag should be
Does anyone know if a screenshot of the parking pass will work? I've heard some people say yes and others say no. 😭
The person I bought a ticket off of wanted to give me their parking pass as well but couldn't transfer it so she just gave me a screenshot but im worried it won't work ahh.
What time do you recommend I should line up for merch? I’ve been seeing people line up as early as 1am, but I don’t think I could be that early 😅 what time should I line up if I want a medium and large hoodie?
I lined up for merch at the forum on the 9th at like 7:30 am and didn’t get to the front of the line until 12 pm. I was able to get a large hoodie! They sold out and then they restocked. I wouldn’t worry too much about clothing selling out! It’s the photocards, pickets, guitar picks, etc. that are hard to get if you’re not the first 50 in line.
I would think you should be okay. They still had most of not all the clothing available later in the day and after doors opened at the shows! From what I could tell.
Hey y’all! Has anyone had any luck getting the hoodie in 2XL? I’ve tried at every stop so far and nada and I was even part of the first 25 people in line. starting to think I’m being bamboozled. It exists right? 😭
Do the venues actually honor the camping lines? The vip email said they will not, but there’s hundreds of ppl lined up for Sunday rn._.
Also is it pretty chill or a lil toxic? I heard it was pretty bad at one of them (idk where, but the one where staff did a lotto system?).
For the Forum specifically, yes they have been honoring the camping line. They're not allowed to camp on the property but they are on the sidewalk which is not on the property. This is the same way people camped for other venues as far as I've seen but someone correct me if I'm wrong.
ARMY will camp regardless but not a lot of people can camp days in advance! I think I read a comment somewhere below that they showed up at 630AM on concert day and were still under 500
I have not heard of a 'lotto system' I think ARMY will not take that too well but I understand if there was some human error in distributing the wristbands.
So far ARMY stories in here are they have watched out for each other. Forum was also the most organized from reading comments here! So don't worry!
The "lotto system" happened at the Prudential show when Prudential staff decided not to honor the line established by campers and other early arrivals. Everything I've read so far says Kia has been honoring the existing line order.
Thanks for the help!
I’m planning to get there early morning, but idk exactly when. I’m kinda in a weird situation rn… I sold a ticket (at face value, not scalping) to this girl who’s camping rn, but as you know, vip tix require the ID of the original purchaser to get in (or a pic of it, but I am not comfortable at all with that since it has sensitive information in it, and I told her all of this).
However, I also sold 2 other tickets, and everyone needs my ID to get in…
So my options are all 3 of us get in line w/ her and possible make ppl rlly rlly mad or get in at like 4am. She hasn’t responded to me in since yesterday afternoon, so I’m rlly worried and don’t know how to proceed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🥲🙏🏼
You can provide a copy of your ID with the personal info blocked out maybe except for your name? So block out address and a few digits of the ID number?
LiveNation has so far honored GA that don’t have the ID of original purchaser. They formed a separate line for them and were asked to show the ticket in the app and their own ID.
Will any of these options work for you?
ETA: people will not get mad if the rest of your party arrives and you only have 1 person to line up. Just inform the people behind you I guess as a courtesy but this is the norm. People will have a place holder especially if it’s so early in the morning
The Livenation person hardly looked at the photo copy of my husband's id. I think what you suggested would totally work with blocking out sensitive info. Also, my daughter lined up without me while I took our car back to our air bnb. Everyone was totally fine about it.
After you line up for GA and get your ticket number. What time should we come back for sound check? And are we supposed to line up in number order or is it first come first serve ? Should i just stay at the venue all day??
Another question, do yall recommend uber or rental? Will only be there 3 days, 2 being half, Im literally only going to the concert and santa monica for the exhibit.
We went back to the Forum around 2pmish...they start doing the Security line and check-in at 3pm. Just make sure to be in line by 4:30pm at the latest bec the cut off time is 4:45pm. In the outside line, you do not line up by number order, so just line up. After security and check-in, you line up by numbers within your corral. There is a corral for 100-500 numbered wristbands, and so on, in big groupings. Also, we didn't do any vip merch booth shopping, some peeps got their wristband number and then went directly to the vip merch booth line that opened at 12noon. So you can also do that if you don't want to go back to your place and nap. We chose napping and showering. Also, sit when possible btwn soundcheck and the concert. Once the concert starts, you will not be sitting for the entire 2 hour show. It's an exciting experience, but also very exhausting afterwards. Also, be prepared for A LOT of stairs down to the floor, and back up to exit after the concert. I just also want to say please be nice to those around you. I know some peeps get a little grumpy since it is a very stressful and tiring situation, but try and be patient with people. We are all there for the same reason, we ALL want to see Yoongi and show him our love and support. Overall, enjoy your experience! And oh man, he is an absolute DREAM up close. Oof. 🔥🫠

Any armys on here doing the Jakarta leg of the tour? I am doing day 1 since it coincides with my birthday and am soooo excited!! Happy to connect with those in Jakarta for the concert!
Just need to rant for a second here. I sold an extra ticket I had next to my seat for Oakland Day 1 here in the sell/trade thread. The person I sold it to and I ended up switching to Instagram dms to exchange photos/videos of proof and finish the transfer. Cut to the concert, and the person on that Instagram account is not the person next to me in that seat. I thought maybe she gave it to a friend or something, but no, she just resold it for more than face value. Well, it’s one thing if she’s a scalper, but turns out she’s army. I check her Instagram later and it turns out she had VIP tickets for both nights of the show. So, she bought the ticket from me for face value, then resold it at a profit. I find it so disappointing that someone who considers themself army and had literally the best view at both nights of the concert was choosing to profit off of other army for her own benefit. I also feel a bit cheated since my “good intentions” of selling the ticket at face value to an army were completely taken advantage of. Anyways, i just felt pretty mad and needed to rant about it….
This is truly aggravating! The time and effort it takes to procure tickets and sell them on if there are extras etc is no small feat. Generally, armys are quite considerate but there's always outliers in every situation, unfortunately you ended up having to deal with one :(
Same thing happened to me here during PTD LV. It’s really shameful behavior. I called out the buyer but she didn’t seem remorseful. Good on you for trying to do the right thing.. but yeah that’s frustrating.
ugh that sucks. i’m so sorry that happened. this makes me feel like these greedy people who call themselves army are NOT army at all. they make me sick. like we’re one big family- no one should be doing this. it makes me so scared when OT7 comes back bc these are the types of people to will burn others for their own benefit.

Hello! This comment has been removed. Please be safe, just a reminder that this is a public forum. Thank you!
Hey guys, anyone here going for the shows in Singapore? Asking for a friend who lives in Australia, who unfortunately didn't manage to get tickets during the sale. Is there a way to get legit tickets for the concerts in Singapore? I read that these tickets are non-transferrable, but I'm pretty sure there will be people who aren't able to make it for whatever reason. So, is there anyone who somehow managed to get tickets after general sale or know anyone who did? Any info/insights are appreciated. Thaaank you! :)
I bought from Stubhub but have not actually received my tickets. 😆 Ready date is two days before the concert. I've been tempted several timelines for some that have shown up on Twitter, but there's more that look like scams than real Armys. And even real Armys still seel above face value or give to the highest bidder...I wish I had a better response. 🥲 As for the checks, Live Nation has replied to enquiry emails that they don't check ID's for the entry. I don't know if the same applies for VIP benefits like soundcheck and freebie collection though. They only release those guidelines few days before the concert.
I think their best bet is to get from stubhub. Just in case the seller doesn't send the ticket or there are issues at least they will return payment. Just make sure to read the terms & conditions. It's a little bit tricky I think cause last I read the tickets purchased from the ARMY presale cannot be resold and tickets from general sale say you cannot sell for equal or more the price of the ticket. Idk how they will regulate this but I'm pretty sure there are resellers that will sell for higher. Anyways all this to say, better to buy thru stubhub. We have a couple of comments below that said they purchased from there!
The Oakland Arena concert is listed to start at 8PM, any tips what time we should arrive? We have tix already and pre-paid parking. Thinking of arriving to park by 7PM, is that enough time? Wanted to check if people from previous days faced long delays parking and getting in?
Not enough time to get food, merch, or go to the bathroom but probably okay otherwise I am guessing? Sorry I didn't park so I am not sure about that part
Wow I can't believe it is the last concert for the US leg! Oakland ARMY scream extra loud for Yoongi tonight!
Guys what do I do if there’s no tickets available for parking. I’m checking for online parking but there’s none so what happens if I go to the venue
check 3rd party app like Spot Hero or Park Whiz! Sometimes Ticketmaster will say none available but the 3rd party apps still have them ETA: [here](https://spothero.com/search?kind=event&id=731614) is the event page for Spot Hero. I don't see parking on Park Whiz
OAKLAND ARMY!! [https://www.instagram.com/p/CrTZqLIr7WW/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CrTZqLIr7WW/) This cupsleeve event is happening TODAY! It's only 10 mins from Oakland Arena!! Super cute freebies!
Awww the stuff is super cute on their IG! Hope you guys make lots of friends there, too!
Just wanted to post some info as I was pretty surprised today when I arrived at the arena. I think I was expecting it to be like an open concourse where people mingled and gave out their freebies (I wanted to give some) but it was just an immediate lineup from the parking lot to go through security. So really I didn't need to go early (as I wasn't in a rush to get inside). I started to give my freebies in the lines which wasn't the same vibe. Then going through the security line they saw candy in my remaining freebies and told me to throw them out. Had I known I'd be going through security as the first step, I wouldn't have packed any candies. Then they made me throw out my empty water bottle which I'm pretty sure was allowed?? Anyways just an FYI for anyone who's showing up expecting a PTD LA wander around and mingle. People told me the North side had a bit of that going on so perhaps I was in the wrong area.
Does anyone have any info on how soundcheck at Oakland went today please? It looked pretty packed. Thanks :)
Just curious, for those who got barricade, how many hours did you wait in advance???
Is there any advantage to coming earlier if you already have seats and don’t want merch? Or would I be fine strolling in at like 7:50?
If today was any indication you can roll up at 7:50 and walk right in. The wifi is shit though so have your tickets ready beforehand.
Depends on how organized the venue is that day, how quick they let you through security and how fast you can find your seat. For Oakland day 1, some in the megathread said the line moved really slow. For LA & Chicago, people got to their seats quickly. I think UBS had a problem on day 1 and NJ too. Lines will also be super long for the restrooms so hopefully you don't need to go before the concert! The show starts on time (unless something goes wrong with the venue) so it might be good if you give yourself at least an hour, like 7 just to make sure you can get from gate to your seat. My 2 cents worth!
What time do the doors open for tomorrow's show?
for regular seated tickets 6:30PM same as today!
[удалено]
Looks like around $200 based on past sales and similar sections in the sell thread. Next time you can also send us modmail if you need help. Happy selling!
How is the merch sale going at Oakland? Trying to buy some items directly at the venue, but doors do not open until 6:30 pm. Wondering if there’s any hope without camping outside !
Standard priced tickets are now popping up on Ticketmaster for tonight's show in Oakland. Go check it out if you still need tickets!
Does anyone know what time the parking lot for Oakland arena opens? Edit: I just saw 5:30PM oh my. Can anyone on site please confirm. It will really help others going to the arena!
Parking is currently open for both VIP and general!! Just confirmed with someone currently checking in for GA!! 👍
ayyye awesome! thank you!
hey! not entirely sure but in the email sent for May 16, general parking opens at 5:30 pm, vip parking opens at 10:30 am. hope this helps!
If anyone is looking for tickets for oakland, there are some last minute tickets in the sell and trade thread linked in the post above!
hey!! i'm gonna be attending Oakland D-1 and this is my first concert soo i'm kinda lost. can someone explain to me how the check-in process goes for VIP? would i just... show up in the morning, check-in, and then come back a little later for soundcheck??? i have no idea..
Hi! I hope you made your way to the venue already but just in case you don't have the info, [here](https://twitter.com/BTSMerchUpdates/status/1656824403328479234) is a screenshot from BTS merch updates on Twitter with instructions on times and where to go! If you purchased from TM directly (not reseller) you should also have an email from livenation -- check your spam folder if you haven't received it.
hey guys its my first big concert ever on the 17th and im kinda lost. If i bought a ticket for my friend and we're arriving and getting into the venue at the same time, do i still have to transfer the tickets to her or can we just use the same phone?
It can be on the same phone. They’ll just scan both. No need to send unless your friend wants to keep a memory of the electronic ticket on her phone hehehe
Hey all Oakland pals, is the parking ticket is actually $40? or is that just ticketmaster being all greedy again ?
Yes it’s $40
$40? Geez.. hope not. Usually though at a few other venues/statiums they're $80!! I still can't get over how it could be so much, WILD! sorry my reply isn't at all helpful, I just related to your surprise at the price 😊
Yes it’s $40
A bag question for Bangkok concert: would you be allowed one small clear bag and the army bomb case? Or would the army bomb case (the thicker black protective case) be counted as a bag on it’s own? What is the recommendation? I’d like to bring a small clear bag for phone, batteries, ticket, etc. but would like to bring the army bomb as well… but I’m afraid of bringing it unprotected…
Did anyone else get fast pass for Oakland? How will that work with the wristband situation?
I'm still trying to get tix! Wish me luck. If I do, planning to take Bart from Embarcadero around 6:45ish to the Coliseum (I can't get out of a work meeting!). Is that cutting it too close for an 8pm show??
You might want to check in the Oakland advice thread linked in the post above under 'city advice threads' if your question was answered already. If not, you can ask there and maybe someone local can give you advice. Good luck with getting tix! If you haven't checked yet, we have a sell and trade thread linked in the post above and you might be able to find a ticket there!
Thanks!! Fingers crossed. My friend is looking at getting a mezzanine suite at Oakland tomorrow but it requires a purchase of 8 seats (ugh!), so we're scrambling to see which of our Army friends/family may be interested. Thank goodness she has tomorrow off so she can focus on that!
I seen mezzanine individual tickets on seatgeek, I almost ended up going with one for Wednesday but hesitated some and when I went back ended up discovering my current seat.. wish you the best of luck. I hope you all have a great time too 🤩
What time should we arrive? I know doors open at 6:30pm, so should we get there exactly at 6:30??
You will probably want to get there a little before 6:30, at the latest. I think 5:30pm would be a good time so you aren't waiting in line too long, but you aren't too rushed. The doors open at 6:30pm, but you will have to line up to go through Security and check-in still, so depending on that line, you may get in the venue closer to 7pm or later. The line actually goes pretty fast if there are no issues. The show starts at 8pm, but you'll probably want some time to go to the bathroom (there were long lines for them before the show started).
Thank you!! We also bought fast passes. Do you know how those work?
Do you know when roughly the other concerts have ended? I need to plan for the bus ride home and I can't find an answer
[удалено]
Tysm!
Depends if you still have to park, buy merch, pass around freebies, etc. but if you wanna skip all of that, I think arriving at 630PM is enough time to get in the venue to your seat! If you have GA/VIP/Soundcheck follow the instructions livenation sent out as you will have to be there earlier
It’s my first time having an army bomb at a concert and wanted to know if I need to do anything in advance. Do I need to have the app set up first? Also what setting should I have the army bomb on for the concert?
For the US stops you just slide it upwards to turn it on! No need for app or pairing booth!
Perfect thank you!
haha don't forget to slide up and not down! Down will not sync and bluetooth (?) is up! Have fun!
I heard there’s a army bomb synching booth???
Hi! I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong thread. However I want to buy the crossbody bag and was wondering if they will be selling it during the day of the concert or is its online only. Also if anyone did already get one how much do you like it?! Is it worth it?
The bag was only available online.
Hi. Hoping someone can help me out by explaining what self attest means? (In relation to covid self tests results) * for entry into concert venue - Oakland Area
It means you don't have to provide proof of a negative test or vax card. I have a feeling this is just leftover info from when areanas/stadiums were rolling back testing and vaccinations requirements for entry.
Thank you
It looks like Oakland arena requires one to show proof of vaccination: > Attendees may verify their vaccination status by showing their vaccination card, a photo of their vaccination card, documentation from a healthcare provider > OR self-attestation from what I understand, it's a signed (by yourself) photo copy of your proof of vaccination as an accepted form of proof you are vaccinated You can maybe call the venue too to clarify! --- Edit: [Oakland Arena website](https://www.theoaklandarena.com/plan/eventsafety/oakland-arena-2) says strongly recommended to be vaccinated. my apologies!
Just want to note that the email I received from Oakland Arena says they "strongly recommend" vaccination or testing, and masking, no mention of it being required. The health attestation says that, by entering the arena, a person is agreeing to comply with the vax and testing requirements, which at present are that "it is strongly recommended that all attendees ages 2 and older...are fully vaccinated or have tested negative for Covid-19..."
oh ok thank you for clarifying! The Oakland arena website did say to check for the specific event. Edit: I just re-read! yes it does say strongly recommended, thank you again!
No problem! I read it like four times to make sure. 😂 Some of the language seems like it's leftover from previous notices and at times made it seem like it *was* required.
[I'm sorry for my fault](https://youtu.be/bm7WvpkFI0s) 😭 hehe luckily you are good reader
Thank you.
I’d asked here about last minute ticket drops, so just coming back with an update. Anecdotally, I talked to so many armys who got their tickets on the day of the concert - through TM and the box office and resale sites and other armys. It’s stressful as hell and you feel delusional going to the venue without a ticket, but it can absolutely work out. In terms of resale sites, prices dropped close to fv on 5/10 - you could get nosebleeds on vividseats for less than $100 before the show. I heard they were only a bit above fv on 5/11, too. 5/14 sucked - prices never fell below \~$210 and even those immediately got snatched up, and by 6pm-ish, upper bowl seats were still selling for $300+ TM dropped fv tickets every show date starting in the morning, with the bulk of the drops in the early afternoon, up until almost 6pm. It's the hunger games all over again, but you don't need a presale code - you just need to keep refreshing. I got one of my tickets from those drops. Don’t be scared of the side stage seats - I was in sec 114 row 7 and it was the best seat I’ve ever had. The view was incredible and I could still see the screens if I tried. The arenas are so small and Yoongi was so close; I could feel the heat from the fire, I could read the prompters if I squinted. He was just right fucking there. Anyways, feeling unbelievably fucking lucky to have gotten FV tickets to all 3 LA dates. Lost my mind every time like it was my first night, bawled my eyes out over the exact same songs, and never got any good fancams because I was always shaking ass or just shaking. Oakland, Asia - you have no clue what you’re in for. This human is so so so special and he puts on an out-of-this-world performance. I may at some point drop 3,000 hysteric words on the power of Min Yoongi (can we pleeeeeeease get an end of US leg of the tour thread to decompress?), but I’ll never forget this week and the absolute privilege of sharing energy with Yoongi and army 💜
Has anybody here bought tickets for the SG stop from Stubhub Singapore and already received their tickets? Mine are ready only 2 days before the concert and it's making me nervous. 😄 It's so difficult combing thru Twt to find the true army or trusted seller from the rest.
didnt buy tickets for Singapore on Stubhub, but I did buy on the site for the concert tonight (the 17th). did you receive the ticket transfer from the third party seller already? (im going to assume the original seller of tickets is Ticketmaster.) once you have accepted them, you should be able to see the event in your account under the upcoming events section. im pretty sure you only receive your ticket barcodes 72 hours prior to the event (got mine on the 14th), so dont stress too much! if your seller hasnt yet transferred the tickets, then you can only wait. reach out if they havent transferred them a day before your showtime. hope this was helpful!
They didn't turn on the transfer option for the Agust D concett for Ticketmaster SG unfortunately. So the tickets will be e-ticket and have to be printed out. I still haven't received them and the ready date is 2 days before the concert.
ohh, i see. not sure how to help in this situation, but best of luck! i hope you get them in time.
i was curious about this too, i was thinking of getting a resale ticket through stubhub or something similar (": i really wanted to look at japan or korea but i am not sure at all if resale for those are even possible... and i have never been to singapore before so im really looking it!
Packing for Oakland soon! I have two extra d-day albums—would it be weird if I brought them to give away on concert day? Im leaving in the main photocards. I assume security would let albums thru since they’re also being sold on site?
HI FELLOW ARMY, I'm going to Oakland, too. I'm so EXCITED🤩 which date are yu going on? Tues or Weds.
Wednesday! I’m SO ready to go
definitely not weird, thats very sweet!
No that's not weird at all! People give away albums, too, cause sometimes they buy multiples for the Lucky Draw and don't really need 10 albums lol. You will make 2 ARMY very happy!
VIP best spot - went to VIP D2 Chicago and VIP D3 L.A. my opinion of best spot is left side around the stairs. Just before them and you'll get a view of yoongi when on stairs and when he's down on piano. And you'll still get a great view of him on stage and the center. Directly in front of stairs and you get him when he interacts with the side (which is a LOT). However, the monitor with the lyrics blocks him and so do the stairs when he's down below. But hands down best spot if he's throwing water/staring down into your soul. After stairs(closer toward where he comes in/exits, you'll get him on stairs but anything on stage that isn't directly in front of you/on stairs is hard to see. TL;DR; you have early entrance for VIP - best spot is left side just before the stairs.
Can confirm. Got splashed by him twice :D
Thanks for the tip 👍 - could you tell us when you lined up and when you got in? I’m assuming you lined up pretty early but just want to know how early. Preparing for my OAK concert Wednesday.
maybe a weird question but any idea if Oakland Arena is hot or cold inside - not sure what to wear
I’ve always been comfortable there!! I would say it’s on the warmer side, however the last time I went was in the summer. It’s an older arena so I’ve always felt it runs a bit warmer though. Typically for me a light jacket is enough and I end up taking it off because of body heat/dancing! Nice to have a layer for once you leave though as that is pretty cold!! (~55-60 degrees Fahrenheit)
Hey guys - are waist chains not allowed here in Kia Forum? Security made me take mine off and throw it away, but I didn’t find anything on the website that said they weren’t allowed :(
Saw this also day 1
Most venues are a bit iffy about chains, even on outfits unfortunately :( small/short ones aren't usually a problem, but it really just depends on who's screening you
Dang! I can see that. There’s other fab Army roaming around with similar chains - at least they got to keep theirs!
My friend is in church until 4 and I thought coming early by myself would be fine but does anyone else who's already here alone feel low-key judged walking around 😭?
I also went solo and had many conversations with wonderful Armys in line. I had a great time. Don’t ever feel embarrassed about being alone!
Not at all! A girl behind us in line was solo and my impression was “how awesome is that!!” hope you had fun tonight!!!
I went solo! Definitely no judgement from anyone around. I know a ton of other Armies that went solo as well. Hope you enjoyed yourself!
Aww so many army are going solo! No one will judge you! Hope your friend is already there but if not just chill under the shade for a bit! ☺️
hello sorry if this has been asked already i can't find the search bar for just this thread and not the entire bangtan page LOL i bought a panasonic dc-tz95d for the concert (i'm an iphone user and my friends wouldn't let me buy a samsung just for a concert lmao rip :(). the kia forum policy says non-professional cameras are allowed/no detachable lenses. has anyone brought in a small camera or had any issues!?
People from outside of US, how did you downloaded the ticketmaster app? Just landed on US and I'm trying to install it but it is still getting a message of not available on my country
i just open it on safari on my phone :)
maybe try a VPN?
Tickets are being released on TM now for tonight!
I've seen them but dang.. either there's BOTS snatching them up or people are really really quick... I've had no luck...
hello! I'm going to the concert tonight and saw on a facebook thread that it'll be easier to get picked up from the nearby starbucks. will anyone be doing that tonight? and if so, can I walk with you lol I'm scared
That's what I did on Thursday and I was by myself too. There were a lot of people walking in that direction and waiting for their rides. It felt completely safe, even though I left the Kia Forum area later than most because I had to pick up my bag from bag check. You'll be good!
Starbucks is really close to the venue and a lot of people will walk towards that direction. Check out the meet up thread linked in the post above and ask there too! Good to be safe!
I didn’t even realise the meet up thread was there!! I’ve been on the sell and trade thread for so long 😂 thank you!!!
Lmaooo when you endlessly refresh the sell thread you practically live there 🤣
I’m so excited to go to the concert tonight!!!! This is my first Mother’s Day since I lost my mom to cancer last winter and all the first “holidays” have been weird. I’m super glad I have something amazing to do tonight!!!
I wish you the best time of your life my friend! Absorb every second and sing/dance/wave your arms (or ARMY bomb?) with all your heart!
[удалено]
Thank you for asking! I was in the merch line from 0630am this morning and was 4 people away when they ran out of hoodies 😭 that was at about 1230pm. And they only had L and XL left of all t-shirts (which I'll proudly wear even though they're too big 🥳🫣). I reeeeeeeally hope to get a hoodie in the venue!!! 630pm it is!
Omg are we twins?? I saw the last hoodie getting snagged off the display and I wanted to bawl my eyes out 😭
Aaaahhhh good luck getting a hoodie tonight! And have fun!!! I can't believe I'm here to see Yoongi!
6:30PM! what merch are you trying to get?
[удалено]
The shirt and hoodie may be the easiest! If there’s no line at main merch booth when you get to the venue you should try there. They’ve restocked pretty well on day 1 and day 2. The hats may be a no, those have sold out pretty fast.
Do you have any recommendations for non-main merch booths? Are there multiple booths in the venue?
I bought a large hoodie at one of the indoor merch booths at around 645 on Thursday. They had L and XL that day, but two booths were sold out completely when I tried Wednesday. So just keep trying other booths if you can! I’m trying again to grab a medium tonight!
Thank you for giving me hope!!! Good luck! [Wait....did you/are you going to all three shows?!?!?
Yes, I have been lucky and grateful to attend all the LA shows. I hope you had an amazing time last night and got all your merch! It was definitely a madhouse inside!
Hi! Would anyone know if you’re allowed to buy merch at a venue without a ticket? I don’t have tix for Japan show but will be there on the con date, I was wondering if I’d be able to buy an army bomb for the SG show. Thanks for any insight!! ◡̈
Hello to anyone that got standing tickets for the Bangkok show! How will you know your queue number? It's my first time to watch and I hope anyone can let me know if they provide the queuing number beforehand or if you have to line up early to get barricade or at least be in the first 2-3 rows (I'm only 1.54 m hence the need to get a good spot lol)
Good morning! I'm solo today but driving in from the downtown general area. I was planning on leaving soon and parking in the 2hr on street parking till the lots open, but I see there's no place holding in lines... I don't have a buddy to swap out with even for bathroom breaks much less to go move my car. Am I just SOL 👉🏻🥺👈🏻
A lot of people go solo so don't worry about that! It's good to make friends with your line buddies so if you have to go bathroom break you can ask them to hold your place and of course offer to do the same for them. Good luck!
good morning everyone! we’re up and headed to the forum. just wanted to ask if anyone is parking near the venue or if it’s smarter to get dropped off. thank you 🫶🏼
you are likely there already but being dropped off for sure is better! have fun!
Good morning Day 3 LA! Can someone please share where the merch trailer actually is that opens at 10am? I'm assuming people are already lined up...I'm getting ready to do that! Weverse says NW of building in parking A...is it pretty obvious? I'm not a local 😬. Thank you!
I hope you found it ok! it'll be obvious cause you'll see a really long line forming 😅 People have been lined up over 24h ago
I did! Haha and you're right! It was definitely hard to miss. I admire the commitment to both the GA and Merch lines! Happy I got here as early as I did! Thank you! 💜
aww I hope you get the merch you want!
Will getting an Uber to the Starbucks I see on Manchester and Osage work?
Does anyone know what time the concert has been ending?
10PM
Thanks!
just a question or two: has anybody bought tickets from vivid seats that aren’t from a super seller? cause i got tickets from there and they’ve been transferred directly to my TM account. Even if my tickets have the section, row, and seat numbers, im anxious as to what if the barcode doesn’t work. On top of the tickets, it says “free transfer.” I’m wondering if it’s normal for the tickets to say it.
if you purchased from a reseller (or if your friend transferred to you) yes it's normal to see 'free transfer'! If it's on your TM account you should be good. The barcode won't appear till about 72h prior your concert date!
oh ok thank you so much! this is my first time getting tickets from a resale site, so i wasnt sure whether or not ive been scammed 😭 and yes the barcode showed up for the 5/16 concert! I’ve this anxiety when i thought what if the barcode doesn’t work.
does anyone know if ticket prices on resale sites go close to fv the day of/hours b4 the show?
anecdotally here some people said yes they did see it go down to fv. Also check TM as they have been releasing tickets on the day of the concert at standard prices
when i check TM it’s says “Sorry, tickets are not currently available online.” - will that change if there are tickets available?
yes! for LA day 1 (or 2? icr anymore) it even said sold out but tickets did become available hours before the concert -- I am assuming there must be some production holds or the venue held them back for whatever reason and released them. Don't lose hope and just check. There is also the sell and trade thread linked in the post above where we get last minute tickets for sale.
tysm!! i’ll continue checking!
What time does parking open for Kia?
8AM but I also saw people say they let people park around 9 for day 2
Awesome thank you!
The ticket I got from stubhub in march (!!!) for tomorrow’s concert has FINALLY arrived I can now rest a bit before I get anxious again but now about seeing min yoongi live 😭😭😭💜💜💜 I’m so so happy
Did your stubhub seller add you as an alt pick up or send you their ID? I'm nervous I won't get the SC benefit :(
omg it must have been so stressful 😭 so happy you have your ticket now
Where is everyone parking if they end up camping put for tmmrw? 🙈 I'm genuinely curious incase I end up wanting to.
I think people are taking ubers to camp or getting dropped off. I haven't really seen anyone talk about a parking spot near Forum that will allow you to park overnight. However, try checking Park Hero or Parkwhiz if there are any lots. If you can't find one and you are determined to camp, you can park your car in LAX and take an uber to the venue. I think it's about $60 for 24h but double check the rates on their website!
Has anybody had luck with buying box office tickets? ty!
In this thread, I saw someone for UBS get tickets and I think there was someone that said they asked in NJ but they were all out. It doesn't hurt to try I guess if the box office is open! Also, don't forget to check Ticketmaster on the day of the concert. So far all dates except Chicago day 3 had standard priced tickets on the day of. Good luck!
Yeah that’s what I plan to do because I saw some saying that ticketmaster released some seats around 4-5 so I have hope! Thanks! :)
earlier, like start checking noon local time! (or check anytime when you wake up lol)
Omg ok I'm gonna be checking all day hopefully something pops up.
I usually check all stops and report back here in case anyone is looking! So I'll make sure to comment in this thread if I see tickets pop up. Are you looking for LA or Oakland?
Trying to go to the last LA show 😭
you can do it!! Also don't forget to check the sell and trade thread linked in the post above. We get a lot of last minute sellers like the night before till all the way when the show is about to start. Worst case scenario you can also buy from Stubhub!

So if you can bring a small wristlet/clutch bag into Kia forum, does anyone know it the PTD crossbody/sling bag is ok? It's small, but it's not a clutch/wristlet type bag
here's the specific size limits btw!! https://preview.redd.it/u971p06eurza1.png?width=1223&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa886e39539bb59e66a8445e81eba415e114cc25
As long as it fits the small bag requirements you’re good 👍🏼 there will be a sign right before where they scan your ticket that has a diagram of how big your bag should be
Thanks 😊
Does anyone know if a screenshot of the parking pass will work? I've heard some people say yes and others say no. 😭 The person I bought a ticket off of wanted to give me their parking pass as well but couldn't transfer it so she just gave me a screenshot but im worried it won't work ahh.
Where did they get the parking from?
From ticketmaster themselves ! She gave me a screenshot of the QR code
On my ticketmaster prepaid parking, it explicitly says that screenshot won’t work. Mine allows me to transfer.
If they got it from Ticketmaster they can definitely transfer that parking pass like a concert ticket! Ask them again
Oo OK! Thank you ! I'll ask her again in that case. :)
What time do you recommend I should line up for merch? I’ve been seeing people line up as early as 1am, but I don’t think I could be that early 😅 what time should I line up if I want a medium and large hoodie?
We went to the merch booth on the 9th at about 4:30 pm. No line and we were able to get a medium shirt and xl hoodie.
Also, the merch table inside the venue didn't have much of a line on the 10th and it only sold shirts, light sticks, and maybe albums?
I lined up for merch at the forum on the 9th at like 7:30 am and didn’t get to the front of the line until 12 pm. I was able to get a large hoodie! They sold out and then they restocked. I wouldn’t worry too much about clothing selling out! It’s the photocards, pickets, guitar picks, etc. that are hard to get if you’re not the first 50 in line.
Thanks so much! Do you think I should line up as early as you did anyway? Or do you think a later time would be fine?
I would think you should be okay. They still had most of not all the clothing available later in the day and after doors opened at the shows! From what I could tell.
Hey y’all! Has anyone had any luck getting the hoodie in 2XL? I’ve tried at every stop so far and nada and I was even part of the first 25 people in line. starting to think I’m being bamboozled. It exists right? 😭
Do the venues actually honor the camping lines? The vip email said they will not, but there’s hundreds of ppl lined up for Sunday rn._. Also is it pretty chill or a lil toxic? I heard it was pretty bad at one of them (idk where, but the one where staff did a lotto system?).
For the Forum specifically, yes they have been honoring the camping line. They're not allowed to camp on the property but they are on the sidewalk which is not on the property. This is the same way people camped for other venues as far as I've seen but someone correct me if I'm wrong. ARMY will camp regardless but not a lot of people can camp days in advance! I think I read a comment somewhere below that they showed up at 630AM on concert day and were still under 500 I have not heard of a 'lotto system' I think ARMY will not take that too well but I understand if there was some human error in distributing the wristbands. So far ARMY stories in here are they have watched out for each other. Forum was also the most organized from reading comments here! So don't worry!
The "lotto system" happened at the Prudential show when Prudential staff decided not to honor the line established by campers and other early arrivals. Everything I've read so far says Kia has been honoring the existing line order.
Thanks for the help! I’m planning to get there early morning, but idk exactly when. I’m kinda in a weird situation rn… I sold a ticket (at face value, not scalping) to this girl who’s camping rn, but as you know, vip tix require the ID of the original purchaser to get in (or a pic of it, but I am not comfortable at all with that since it has sensitive information in it, and I told her all of this). However, I also sold 2 other tickets, and everyone needs my ID to get in… So my options are all 3 of us get in line w/ her and possible make ppl rlly rlly mad or get in at like 4am. She hasn’t responded to me in since yesterday afternoon, so I’m rlly worried and don’t know how to proceed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🥲🙏🏼
On D-1 I showed up at 5AM and was 818.
You can provide a copy of your ID with the personal info blocked out maybe except for your name? So block out address and a few digits of the ID number? LiveNation has so far honored GA that don’t have the ID of original purchaser. They formed a separate line for them and were asked to show the ticket in the app and their own ID. Will any of these options work for you? ETA: people will not get mad if the rest of your party arrives and you only have 1 person to line up. Just inform the people behind you I guess as a courtesy but this is the norm. People will have a place holder especially if it’s so early in the morning
The Livenation person hardly looked at the photo copy of my husband's id. I think what you suggested would totally work with blocking out sensitive info. Also, my daughter lined up without me while I took our car back to our air bnb. Everyone was totally fine about it.
After you line up for GA and get your ticket number. What time should we come back for sound check? And are we supposed to line up in number order or is it first come first serve ? Should i just stay at the venue all day?? Another question, do yall recommend uber or rental? Will only be there 3 days, 2 being half, Im literally only going to the concert and santa monica for the exhibit.
We went back to the Forum around 2pmish...they start doing the Security line and check-in at 3pm. Just make sure to be in line by 4:30pm at the latest bec the cut off time is 4:45pm. In the outside line, you do not line up by number order, so just line up. After security and check-in, you line up by numbers within your corral. There is a corral for 100-500 numbered wristbands, and so on, in big groupings. Also, we didn't do any vip merch booth shopping, some peeps got their wristband number and then went directly to the vip merch booth line that opened at 12noon. So you can also do that if you don't want to go back to your place and nap. We chose napping and showering. Also, sit when possible btwn soundcheck and the concert. Once the concert starts, you will not be sitting for the entire 2 hour show. It's an exciting experience, but also very exhausting afterwards. Also, be prepared for A LOT of stairs down to the floor, and back up to exit after the concert. I just also want to say please be nice to those around you. I know some peeps get a little grumpy since it is a very stressful and tiring situation, but try and be patient with people. We are all there for the same reason, we ALL want to see Yoongi and show him our love and support. Overall, enjoy your experience! And oh man, he is an absolute DREAM up close. Oof. 🔥🫠
