Saint Ren 4,272 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have 2 concerts that will always be memorable. 1st. KCon in Paris. I live in London, the concert was on a Thursday evening at 8. We booked a hotel, across from the stadium. Our great plan was to get the Eurostar Thursday morning at 5, get to Paris by 7, make our way to the hotel, chill a little, eat and join the queue around 10. That plan went to hell when we got to Paris, looked on twitter only to see that the queue was 200 people long already, instead of going to the hotel, we joined the queue and then 2 of us then went to drop off all our suitcases. We had pit tickets, so our view depended on where we stood. In the beginning we decided to swap around because it was raining and we had to queue up in a park, so it was muddy and we couldn't sit down and we were all dressed really nice, but by 12, the people behind us were complaining that we were pushing in and we got into an argument and everyone decided that no one could leave except for short bathroom breaks. It was seriously heated, like 30 people yelling at the same time. so from 12 - 8 we was stood in the cold, muddy rain and all together it was more than 8 hours. But in the end it was worth it because the stage was an S shape and we were right next to the bottom part of the S and all the performers, kept bypassing the front and would either perform in the middle of the S or the end, screwing over people who'd waited longer than us, who were stuck seeing their backs. My 2nd time was for Kard in London. I already saw on twitter that people were going to meet them at Heathrow and then go straight to the venue at like 11pm the night before and i just didn't like Kard enough to do that, even though I had pit tickets, I got to the venue at 6am, assuming there would be loads of people but there was only like 50. I had to queue up from 7-2, because at 2 the organisers gave us these wrist bands with our queue numbers on it. The idea was that we could leave the queue, go have lunch etc and come back to our spots. They made everyone leave, so me and my friends went to eat, came back 30 mins before the show was suppose to start only to see a crazy long queue. The organisers tried to get everyone to follow the wrist bands but nobody cared. So my friends and I just stared pushing our way to the front, this one girl tried to stop us and we asked to see her wristband and it sad 543 and she was like the 10th person. We showed her our wristbands and said we'd kick up a fuss, if she didn't let us get passed and then she'd be sent to the back. So she did and we went from being in the 50's to being number 5/6/7/8 and getting an unbelievable view. I felt so bad for the people who'd queued up longer than us but were relegated to the back because the organiser couldn't get their shit together. Also I need Exo to come, I would sleep over night for those boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reckoner 6,692 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 mingyu is not that tall in person, and matty healy was drunk the entire time he was on stage(still a good show tho). also, exo was really popular with the fans in the crowd at the smtown concert i was at, despite being a month old group at the time. these were all from different concerts btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueColors 582 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I literally bumped into Ricky of Teen Top at the first KCON in NY. They had terrible security and I wasn't looking as I was walking and I ran into him by accident. At the first EXO concert in New York Chanyeol made a heart to me (I was right in the front) and Sehun waved at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More hip hop acts tend to come here, Zico and Zion T were both in London last year, so I'm hoping the trend continues and grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfyeol 14,275 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 - last day of exordium in seoul 160731 i was front row and i got chocolate from sehun (he came in front of where I was standing and held it out so I quickly grabbed it lol) ..i still have the chocolate bc it is in a sealed package vid (not my own fancam) of the exact moment: Click here to view the Tweet after that i was in disbelief and kept staring down at my bag where I placed the mini bag of hershey kisses >.< exordium in seoul was just amazing period....I got to see shirtless chanyeol and lay (lay also came down the stairs right in front of me when he had no shirt on but it was dark so I couldnt see well) also towards the end of the concert chanyeol was coming by so I started screaming "CHANYEOL I LOVE YOU" in english really loud, at first he was looking straight ahead but I repeated it and he looked down towards me and waved - exordium in la I got chanyeol's rilakkuma headband that he wore, but it wasn't directly from pcy, after the concert ended a security guard grabbed it off the stage and held it out to those still standing in front of the stage so I grabbed it real quick - idk if these really count since it wasnt during the concert but rather during the conventions but during kcon 2014 which I attended for gd and taeyeon I randomly won a bts hi touch and it was starting the moment I got there (I came sort of late that day) so I had to run and yeah...and I also won a red carpet for sunday and got high fived by a lot of the idols there that day like snsd, bts, etc. (but I was stupid af when taeyeon came out because I took out my taeyeon fan and my camera and my hands were full so I didnt get a hi five from her #regret) - kcon 2017, my mom is a big fan of daniel so we went and both saw wanna one front row at the innisfree booth, a couple of them smiled and waved to me like ongniel, they were cute - when I was looking at some panels upstairs during kcon 2017 astro came through the hallway and walked right in front of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
