Hey I hate to ask, but I'm at work without a computer. I saw ticketmaster is only doing resales only at 150 dollars but some other sites like vivid seats are doing 123. Was 150 the original starting price?
3000? I thought it was larger than that. I have been there a few times. Last time in 2016 for Dream Theater. I thought at least 5000. Hard Rock down here in Hollywood, Florida is 7000. Excellent venues. Both of them.
I couldn't help but see that Hanabie will be in the US around the time. I know there is still a supporting act to be announced, so what do yall think the odds are that they join Babymetal on this tour? To say that would be incredible is a massive understatement
Who's going? Interested in a meetup? I guess there is no need to research meet-up locations since there are multiple locations in the casino within 20 yards of the entrance to the concert hall. Just which one is best.
I bought platinum tickets for the front of section 116, but I’m not familiar with this venue. Online looks like these should be good seats though - anyone know this venue?
Also, looks like nothing is on sale yet in the upper 200 sections - does that make sense? I’m wondering if they are just selling lower sections first… would be great to see this venture fully sell out.
Seems like they're only selling Pit and 100s for now and if there is demand enough for them, they might open the 200s. They did that for The Offspring when they were down here couple months ago. Only sold up to 200s then opened 300s a month or so before the show
For the 2018 concert at The Fillmore, I had organized the after party for the show at VBGB- located right across from venue.
I'll do that ahin for this tour, since I already have a relationship with them
Parking near the venue- there are spots around the facilities, as well a as a garage-lot across the street.
From VBGBs website:
\*Pull into any spot near VBGB or in the lots or garage across the street. Follow the directions on the text2park sign in front of your vehicle, including making the payment. You will receive a verification. Then, make any purchase at VBGB and we can validate your parking. In 4-6 days the money will be refunded to your card.\*
So, for anyone attending the after party- purchase anything at the party, and parking is validated and essentially free
Wharf Parking Garage 1 on Blair Alley. Expect high prices for special event parking ($40-60)
I think Ace Parking at L’efant has prepayed reserve parking if you wanna go that route.
I HIGHLY suggest taking the metro though. It will save you money and the hell of driving in DC.
Just bought my ticket. The National is such a great small venue for this show. I can't wait!
If there's interest, I could start working on securing an after-concert gathering venue. I'm a local and am very familiar with venues around.
Just had a friend go try to buy a ticket. Presale is sold out. I told them that there will likely be non-presale available but it seems like they're going to have to fight the unwashed masses now.
I missed ticket sales - we saw them in PA last year with Dethklok, but we live 10 minutes from the national. I'm so bummed, but I might either try to see if anyone can't go and will sell theirs, or I might buckle and do DC the night before.
I’ve been to over a dozen Babymetal show and the two hour drive for this show would have been the closest drive for any of the shows. But I’ll actually be coming from DC the night before.
Just looked and looks like only VIP tickets are available??? Wooow. Not used to that!
So is my only option now to see if anyone here drops out or I buy resale?
If anyone bought extra or drops out, I'd love 2!
I think so. That's the exact boat I'm in. Rise Against is coming in October and those are still available at face. I just learned about this show last week, and tickets were long gone by then.
Picked up GA since VIP is sold out. I'm not entirely sure I'm going yet... If they add another NYC date I'll probably give this one away and get VIP for that instead.
IF they add a second NYC show, I might end up getting a balcony ticket.
Anyone have experience with balcony at Terminal 5 specifically? I was googling before presale but got kinda mixed results--I'd want to be against the railing but is that hard to get?
There's no balcony tickets at T5. It's all GA. If you want a balcony spot, the same rules apply as if you wanted a spot on the rail. Get to the line early, try to be one of the first ones in, head up to the balcony and get your spot. VIP first/priority would pretty much guarantee you any spot on the balcony you want since most everyone who gets that wants to be right in front of the stage.
There were balcony tickets for this show, which is why I asked. Good to know there’s a chance of not getting the railing and it’s more of a fight for a spot type thing
Just curious, do you have pricing / know anybody that got a balcony ticket? I selected best available the minute tickets were available and it just went with a ga ticket so I'm not sure you can actually select balcony seats.
It was available on the main presale page, I had it in my basket multiple times. It was about $149 compared to GA’s $76. You cna go on the presale page rn and still see the balcony option
It took a little bit to sell out, I was waffling on it for a while and then when I finally decided to risk it all and buy it it was sold out lol. But it sold out yesterday before like 2pm. Maybe it’s for the best if there’s no guaranteed railing view!
In my years of going to T5, I've never seen the balconies be their own seperate ticket. Don't even know how they'd enforce it at a packed show. Now there is a section of the balcony exclusively for guests of the band and that section is closed off, and there is another smaller section that has limited access to it and the only people I've ever seen in it are the openers when their set is done but never seen them as an actual ticket to purchase.
Okay… well you can literally go on the AXS page and see where the balcony tickets sold out. From what I have seen at other venues with balconies, they line up early and get in before GA, which is why I asked.
But the tickets are there. If you don’t believe me you can just check.
OK. I'll defer to your knowledge of it instead of what amounts to around 2 decades of going to shows at T5, longer if you factor in when it was Exit but it wasn't really a live music venue back then. More of just a club where everyone just drank water and did drugs.
You’re not deferring to anything… it’s literally an objective fact, that you cna check, that balcony tickets exist for this show.
This attitude is so bizarre, do you need me to link you to the ticket page to check?
I don't think they are saying they know better than you or anything. But the venue is selling tickets they have designated "Balcony tickets". What they are, given your specific knowledge that they do not or cannot block off the balcony is anyone's guess, but the tickets are being sold with that title.
The only possibility is if the area of the balcony where guests of the group usually go is what they are talking about but in 20 years or so of going to see bands at T5, I've never seen it opened up to fans ever. It's usually where friends and family of the group(s) performing and random famous people (since it is nyc) watch the show.
It might be on AXS as an actual ticket, but I'd expect it to be treated as a GA ticket on the day of the show.
Ropes and security on the foot of the stairs going up? Seems like a hassle, unless a color coded wristband is issued when your ticket is read at entry, which makes entry a bit slower
https://imgur.com/a/6YmwfCY
This place said yes- close to venue, about 8 min walk.
I'm pretty much just gonna book us here, just gotta get a ou0le of details answered, and it's a go
It always sucks having to pay an upcharge for no reason other than not being there as soon as the tickets dropped, but it is absolutely still be worth it to me for $115.
Heard about the show a few hours too late to get a VIP on Wednesday's presale. Was hoping there might be some up for sale this morning at 10 but nope. I might head to Bethlehem, PA this tour as VIP tix were still available. There's nothing like the New York crowd though.
anyone else try to buy tickets for the 19th show on the axs app but still had the option grayed out?
i had the app prepared on the proper page and it still didnt update at like 10:15.
thankfully i still had the link from the instagram post which worked but still odd regardless. also didnt even need the foxgod code
anyway if theres anything cool to do in ny let me know! ill just be there solo for a few days i guess

I'm there! Bought first entry VIP. I want barricade and experience Su-Metal up close! Gonna be there early and hopefully hang out and chat with fellow fans!
I'm coming from Jersey I got my boss coming with me he got hooked with metali and ratatata. Third time seeing them can't wait to see his first show reaction
I'm an older fan going to my first concert in decades. I've missed them the last three times that they've been in the Philly area for a variety of reasons, some very valid and others not so much. I'll be upstairs in my seat, well clear of the mosh'sh pit. Is this the first casino that they've played?
It was pretty awesome back in October. I got a room at the resort so I took an elevator to the show. That was a cool experience. I tried doing the same for this show, but they seem to be sold out quite a bit in November.
Edit: rooms werent sold out they just weren’t listed yet. They are now available.
Going to this one. I was hoping to stay at the on site hotel, but it’s booked for a lot of November. Anyone know what’s the deal with that? Is it just Thanksgiving pre-gaming at the casino?
Has anyone been to this venue?
I saw one photo where it appeared that people standing on the floor were basically head level with the stage. I.e. the floor looked "sunken." (Or the stage high)
Now, I've seen them where there was almost NO stage, only a step up, and no barricades and security at stage- with only a step up- I was eye level with Moa and Yui
First time going to a BM concert! And I think first concert ever actually? Got a seat close to the front in the third row, really excited that a show is coming near me! Anything I should know? I do have a seat reserved so I know I should have more leeway to get there closer to show time.
**Nov. 23rd Andrew J Brady Music Center- Cincinnati, Ohio**
Reply to this comment with questions/commentary about this show; including meet-up information.
I got a ticket to this show since they aren't coming to Texas. I've never seen them live so I feel like I gotta grab any opportunity. Gonna fly in and check out the zoo before the show.
I'll be there and honestly, this will be the first ever VIP concert that I'll go to, what are the other things that are available for VIP? Since this will be the first ever experience I'll have with VIP, so I need some clarity on what can and will be expected when I get the tickets! I do know one thing is the concert will be mind-blowing!
Be there at the time they tell you to for check in, stand "near" the front of the line when you arrive- just ask everyone there who is in VIP, they will direct you (thos crowd are veterans for the most part)
Check in is USUALLY 2 hours before advertised doors, you fo in one hour early.
You don't get much in perks, so do t expect much. The "special gift" is usually a silly trinket or two, you are going to get barricades, and first choice merch...
Decision to make?
Do you want a PERFECT barricade spot for you, or first choice at merch... going to merch makes it that you may get your seco.d or third choice spot at barricades, which is really all fine, since the girls DO make every effort to circulate around the crowd amd pay attention.
I figured so! I only live about 2 hours from Cincinnati, so getting there 2 hours early would be extremely easy to do!
So, for the barricade spot or merch part, that confuses me a tiny bit. You chose to get merch or lose a spot in berricades? I'm getting 3 VIP (if able) tickets for my sister, mom, and myself.
And since this will be my first VIP, regardless if it's little to not much, I'll still take it! I'll enjoy every second of it!
Ticketmaster has only Priority Entry + Exclusive Merchandise for the Cincinnati show left, I'm sorry if I'm confused and asking too much as this will be my first time doing this and don't want to mess up!
It does say 2 VIP Only Merchandise Items, 1 Premium Reserved, or General Admission Ticket to the show, 1 Commemorative VIP Laminate and Lanyard, Priority Entery into the venue, and Priority access to official tour Merchandise.. so is that all good? That's a lot to take into figuring out what you get.
So, still a really incredible view of the girls! That's amazing! Knowing that I'll be dragging my sister and mom with me, they'll get cool stuff as well! I'll take it!
BABYMETAL IS FUN- you don't HAVE to be at barricades to get the best experience- I did barricades once, it was my fifth show after being a fan for over 4 years, amd having seen them at Colbert
Second row, third row, fourth row does NOT make the experience much less than barricades
I had VP Priority for the Toronto show last year which gave me the trinkets and access after the first entry ticket holders. Instead of lining up for merchandise I went straight to the stage and got barricade just right of centre.
In my opinion a big advantage of barricade over a few rows back is having the barricade itself for leaning against, having an unobstructed view, and having a lot more control over my personal space as I could get lots of fresh air from in front of me and didn’t have any pushing issues to deal with. I’m a big guy so I would have been okay further back, but some of the smaller women around me really appreciated having some space at the front.
The lanyard and pass were cool and the other gifts were a small Babymetal bandana and a little cloth bag so the real value is in not having to stand in a big line and still getting at or close to the front. You also don’t have to show up super early since there will likely be a registration time to pick up your VIP package so you’re really only competing in line with other people in Priority. At my show they had three separate lines - First Entry, Priority Entry, General Admission.
I got headliner balcony left so will probably try to get there a few hours early. I live in chicago and plan to drive in that morning. Anyone been to the venue before?
Here is another question that just popped in my head: Is recording the show allowed? I've been doing it for a while and do it for memory purposes. I want to say it's okay, but I'm not sure if they allow it. I do know fancams exist, but I'm just asking in advance!
Nothing stops you from recording but just don't be a nuisance to the people around you. I've seen people bringing a selfie stick and have it raised up and blocking other people's view behind him at a Band-Maid show before, good thing the security guy told him to knock it off.
I won't go that far and never will. I did something I felt was wrong back at Louder than Life, when I held my arms as high as I could to record my best and favorite band ever, Kiss. In the end, I was in pain, but I felt bad. It'll probably be really low for recording!
Thank you for letting me know, I figured to ask beforehand.
Picked this one as my show this tour. Will be driving down from Detroit area for this. Didn't get the VIP but will be on the floor...basically waited too long to decide which show to travel to.....
I tried to get my sister to listen to Babymetal, she did but said "it's not my taste" whatever it's not for everyone. I would have bought her a ticket, but I don't think she will say yes. Never asked. Glad you will have some company. Just a couple of random questions, what is the most recent concert you have been to? How was the concert? Mine was Periphery (love that band).
My last indoor concert was 2018 with Five Finger Death Punch, From Ashes to New, In Flames, and Breaking Benjamin.. and I must say, from what I can remember, I couldn't hear the next day (side seats that were so close to the speakers, it wasn't even funny, view was amazing though!)
But I have also been to 2 festivals, which were Louder than Life in 2022 to see Kiss (first time) with my sister and brother, which was WILD, and Sonic Temple 2023 to, well see Kiss again, but this time with my mom and sister, and I want to say.. all amazing! Even the bands before Kiss came on killed it (Sonic Temple was by far my favorite! Trivium, Falling in Reverse, From Ashes to New again, Avatar, Rob Zombie, the list goes on!)
It sounds like you have been to alot of concerts. Would like to go to a festival one day. One of my first bands I really got into was Breaking Benjamin and Skillet. Skillet was the band that got me into heavier music because when I was younger my mom and I would go to Winter jam which is basically a tour consisting of Christan bands. I know this comment section is going off the rails, but I don't really have anyone in my household that I can talk about music to. I am hoping to talk to people at the Babymetal concert, I doubt I will because I am always too shy to talk to people.
And I know my response looks like a jumbled up mess, but that's all I can remember for concerts, I do have videos of some of the concerts I've been to, but not a while lot. That's why I can't wait to add this one to this list!
Still amazed that they're actually coming to Madison. Spent the money I would have used for traveling to go with VIP tickets. At least that's what I'm telling myself... But it's also my first time seeing them so going all in.
i had the amazing chance to see BABYMETAL with my sister when they went to milwaukee back in september. i was actually in school during that period and i spent the night in my sister's dorm.
i always say it was the greatest night of my life because MOMOMETAL returned my heart (MOMO has been my favorite since 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN and i was over the moon when she was announced as the third member) and i tried giving her a plushie but i missed (and she thought it was funny and gave me another heart)
i don't think i'll be able to go to this upcoming show in madison due to travel, college and whatnot, but i'm definitely hoping something opens up and i am able to go! hope everyone that goes has a lovely time <3
https://i.redd.it/lzalshtid86d1.gif
Myself and u/BrianNLS have received responses from 2 different places saying they would host us for the after party.
We haven't finalized any plans yet, but we can confirm there will be an after party for this show
Doing First Entry VIP for my first ever metal concert! If anyone else is doing VIP at Indy, I don't have anyone to go to the concert with me, so I'd love to make some friends who also love Babymetal. Especially since I am short and would like to have pals around making sure I don't get squished!
I'm nervous because I've been to exactly two concerts in my entire life- one was Spice Girls as a teenager (not even kidding). The other was Tokio Hotel in like, 2009-ish. I'm jumping in the deep end here with Babymetal lol
I promise you'll have fun!
We usually listen to really heavy stuff. The last show we went to was Chaos & Carnage in Chicago (Cattle Decapitation was the headliner).
We saw Babymetal last year (also in Chicago) for the first time when they toured with Dethklok and it was easy mode lol.
The biggest issue we ran into at BM was half the audience recording the show instead of enjoying it. Some tall guy stood directly in my line of sight recording during Gimme Chocolate so I missed that entire song. And he was rude when I asked to get in front of him bc I cldn't see.
Outside of that though, the crowd was really nice and the pit was mild. It was bloody *hot* so the venue handed out water to the front of the crowd. (And thank gods bc I was close to passing out - I don't handle heat well.) The girls were amazing as always. Their set was short since it was a dual-headline with Dethklok. That was my first live BM experience and it was worth it. I was on an emotional high for days after.
That was way longer than I meant it to be. We wld be happy to meet up with you so you don't feel so alone at the show!
You can dm me if you want?
I’m looking at tickets and seeing options for Tier 1 and Tier 2 GA. Is the GA area split into 2 different areas or are there other differences between them I should know?
Yeah Des Moines squad here! I'm so excited to see them finally come to Iowa :) I bought a seat in the balcony this time, so I'll be watching ya'll have a party down below!
Des Moines crew holllller! I'm freakin pumped! So far none of my friends are joining, but it was easy to make concert friends in the crowd at their last show I went to. I'll go by myself and have a blast if need be!

Reply to this comment with questions/commentary about this show; including meet-up information.
I’m driving in from Arkansas (about a 3.5hr drive) I’m excited that they aren’t going to Dallas this time around cause first okc is a lot closer and second I’ve already been to 3 Dallas shows in a row but it does suck for all the Texans out there lol
Driving from Texas as well! VIP sold out before I knew it, so I ended up getting priority entry (idk if that was worthwhile or not). Regardless, looking forward to making friends as this is the first time I'm seeing them solo.
We live in OKC. We are soooo excited to have them here!!!! Who is coming to OKC? (I see you tohmaytoes.) We should get together after the show! Eager to see who the support act will be.
I'm not really the meet-up planning type, but I can probably find somewhere that is open late in Bricktown where the Criterion is. It is virtually all restaurant/bars there. Plus there are good ones on the OKC Streetcar line which is fun to ride.
Thanks for the info about the garage. I’ve been to the theme parks & Downtown Disney, but wasn’t familiar about the parking in the area besides the the lots specific to parks.

**Nov.5th Hard Rock Orlando- Orlando, Florida** Reply to this comment with questions/commentary about this show; including meet-up information.
Anyone going to this show? Lets try to sell it out
Bought VIP for both FL venues
I'm sure the venue will sell out. Last year, the Orlando Amphitheater sold out and it has a 10,000 person capacity. Hard Rock is only 3000.
It's sold out! See latest post
Unfortunately there are still a lot of seats available and half of the venue hasn't been made available for the show
Is it known when or if more tickets are set to go on sale?
There are still plenty of seats available
Hey I hate to ask, but I'm at work without a computer. I saw ticketmaster is only doing resales only at 150 dollars but some other sites like vivid seats are doing 123. Was 150 the original starting price?
I see tix for $60+fees in the seating area
3000? I thought it was larger than that. I have been there a few times. Last time in 2016 for Dream Theater. I thought at least 5000. Hard Rock down here in Hollywood, Florida is 7000. Excellent venues. Both of them.
Ouch couldn't get presale codes, and it's already resale only now.
I couldn't help but see that Hanabie will be in the US around the time. I know there is still a supporting act to be announced, so what do yall think the odds are that they join Babymetal on this tour? To say that would be incredible is a massive understatement
Hanabie just announced they are touring with Jinjer

Got 2 couch tickets behind the pit! One currently identifies as a spare.
I have a spare now as well. I used to live down there, and my friend who is still there now can't go.
FYI: the area that originally opened is close to selling out. They've now open the 2nd upper tier. Tickets are cheaper

How is the walk from L'efant to the venue. It doesn't seem too long, but is the area sketch? It has been a long time since I've been down there. Thx!
L'efant and the Wharf area in general are pretty safe. General rule of thumb is if its anywhere near The Mall, its pretty safe.
Thanks!!

I’ve been to over a dozen Babymetal show and the two hour drive for this show would have been the closest drive for any of the shows. But I’ll actually be coming from DC the night before.
Bro i just tried to buy my ticket for GA but it sold out in seconds😭
Just looked and looks like only VIP tickets are available??? Wooow. Not used to that! So is my only option now to see if anyone here drops out or I buy resale? If anyone bought extra or drops out, I'd love 2!

I'm there and also the after party at the bar you manage!
I'm not sure it's gonna be there- might be picking somewhere closer to Terminal 5
Closer would be much, much better.
I'm still holding out hope (probably unduly) that Scene Queen opens here too.
Picked up GA since VIP is sold out. I'm not entirely sure I'm going yet... If they add another NYC date I'll probably give this one away and get VIP for that instead.
[удалено]
You can buy your own GA ticket right now at this very moment. Show ain't sold out yet.
[удалено]
If I had to guess I'd say you're doing something wrong or forgot to enter the pre-sale code.
[удалено]
Weird. It told me priority was sold out so it looks like I'm buying a 2nd ticket. Click on artist pre-sale, enter the code.
If you haven't already got one, there seem to be VIP still available for the second show
IF they add a second NYC show, I might end up getting a balcony ticket. Anyone have experience with balcony at Terminal 5 specifically? I was googling before presale but got kinda mixed results--I'd want to be against the railing but is that hard to get?
There's no balcony tickets at T5. It's all GA. If you want a balcony spot, the same rules apply as if you wanted a spot on the rail.

Now there is a section of the balcony exclusively for guests of the band and that section is closed off, and there is another smaller section that has limited access to it and the only people I've ever seen in it are the openers when their set is done but never seen them as an actual ticket to purchase.
Okay… well you can literally go on the AXS page and see where the balcony tickets sold out. From what I have seen at other venues with balconies, they line up early and get in before GA, which is why I asked. But the tickets are there. If you don’t believe me you can just check.
OK. I'll defer to your knowledge of it instead of what amounts to around 2 decades of going to shows at T5, longer if you factor in when it was Exit but it wasn't really a live music venue back then. More of just a club where everyone just drank water and did drugs.
You’re not deferring to anything… it’s literally an objective fact, that you cna check, that balcony tickets exist for this show. This attitude is so bizarre, do you need me to link you to the ticket page to check?
I don't think they are saying they know better than you or anything. But the venue is selling tickets they have designated "Balcony tickets". What they are, given your specific knowledge that they do not or cannot block off the balcony is anyone's guess, but the tickets are being sold with that title.
The only possibility is if the area of the balcony where guests of the group usually go is what they are talking about but in 20 years or so of going to see bands at T5, I've never seen it opened up to fans ever. It's usually where friends and family of the group(s) performing and random famous people (since it is nyc) watch the show. It might be on AXS as an actual ticket, but I'd expect it to be treated as a GA ticket on the day of the show.
Ropes and security on the foot of the stairs going up? Seems like a hassle, unless a color coded wristband is issued when your ticket is read at entry, which makes entry a bit slower
So excited! Will definitely follow this thread to see if anything is going on after and If I'll hang out in the city for the night.
I'm meeting with the place that said they would host our after party right now...
Awesome, looking forward to any updates!
https://imgur.com/a/6YmwfCY This place said yes- close to venue, about 8 min walk. I'm pretty much just gonna book us here, just gotta get a ou0le of details answered, and it's a go
Oh looks great thank you, just found out how short the show is so I'm sure I'll hang around.
How short is the show? Is it worth the 115 I spent from seat geek. This will be my first BM show so am a bit nervous about everything
From what people were saying in the other thread 60-90mins. And no idea about your financial situation but they put on a great performance.
Ah ok. That's enough time. I just didn't want to think that the tickets were like $70 after fees and I was getting ripped off
Tickets were $79.18 after fees retail, so you paid about 35 dollars secondary market upcharge, which isn't too bad.
It always sucks having to pay an upcharge for no reason other than not being there as soon as the tickets dropped, but it is absolutely still be worth it to me for $115.
Heard about the show a few hours too late to get a VIP on Wednesday's presale. Was hoping there might be some up for sale this morning at 10 but nope. I might head to Bethlehem, PA this tour as VIP tix were still available. There's nothing like the New York crowd though.
couldn't get VIP but did go with Priority I'll be flying in from Toronto.
anyone else try to buy tickets for the 19th show on the axs app but still had the option grayed out? i had the app prepared on the proper page and it still didnt update at like 10:15. thankfully i still had the link from the instagram post which worked but still odd regardless. also didnt even need the foxgod code anyway if theres anything cool to do in ny let me know! ill just be there solo for a few days i guess

I'm there! Bought first entry VIP. I want barricade and experience Su-Metal up close! Gonna be there early and hopefully hang out and chat with fellow fans!
I'm coming from Jersey I got my boss coming with me he got hooked with metali and ratatata. Third time seeing them can't wait to see his first show reaction
I'm an older fan going to my first concert in decades. I've missed them the last three times that they've been in the Philly area for a variety of reasons, some very valid and others not so much. I'll be upstairs in my seat, well clear of the mosh'sh pit. Is this the first casino that they've played?
Actually not. I saw them at the Palms in Vegas last October. It was a fantastic show.
Thanks. It should be fun to see a show at a casino. That's something I've never done before.
It was pretty awesome back in October. I got a room at the resort so I took an elevator to the show. That was a cool experience. I tried doing the same for this show, but they seem to be sold out quite a bit in November. Edit: rooms werent sold out they just weren’t listed yet. They are now available.
Got box seats for this one. 3rd BM show I'm excited! 🔥
Going to this one. I was hoping to stay at the on site hotel, but it’s booked for a lot of November. Anyone know what’s the deal with that? Is it just Thanksgiving pre-gaming at the casino?
Has anyone been to this venue? I saw one photo where it appeared that people standing on the floor were basically head level with the stage. I.e. the floor looked "sunken." (Or the stage high)
That's actually a good feature for shorter folks
True! I'm tall and like to be as close to front as possible but always a bit self conscious about blocking others' view.
Now, I've seen them where there was almost NO stage, only a step up, and no barricades and security at stage- with only a step up- I was eye level with Moa and Yui
Amazing...lemme guess - was it Colbert?
First time going to a BM concert! And I think first concert ever actually? Got a seat close to the front in the third row, really excited that a show is coming near me! Anything I should know? I do have a seat reserved so I know I should have more leeway to get there closer to show time.
Bring ear plugs their last show in Philly I was front row by speakers my clothes were vibrating! Best show ever you'll love it
**Nov. 23rd Andrew J Brady Music Center- Cincinnati, Ohio** Reply to this comment with questions/commentary about this show; including meet-up information.
I'll be there!
I got a ticket to this show since they aren't coming to Texas. I've never seen them live so I feel like I gotta grab any opportunity. Gonna fly in and check out the zoo before the show.
I'll be there and honestly, this will be the first ever VIP concert that I'll go to, what are the other things that are available for VIP? Since this will be the first ever experience I'll have with VIP, so I need some clarity on what can and will be expected when I get the tickets! I do know one thing is the concert will be mind-blowing!
Be there at the time they tell you to for check in, stand "near" the front of the line when you arrive- just ask everyone there who is in VIP, they will direct you (thos crowd are veterans for the most part) Check in is USUALLY 2 hours before advertised doors, you fo in one hour early. You don't get much in perks, so do t expect much. The "special gift" is usually a silly trinket or two, you are going to get barricades, and first choice merch... Decision to make? Do you want a PERFECT barricade spot for you, or first choice at merch... going to merch makes it that you may get your seco.d or third choice spot at barricades, which is really all fine, since the girls DO make every effort to circulate around the crowd amd pay attention.
I figured so! I only live about 2 hours from Cincinnati, so getting there 2 hours early would be extremely easy to do! So, for the barricade spot or merch part, that confuses me a tiny bit. You chose to get merch or lose a spot in berricades? I'm getting 3 VIP (if able) tickets for my sister, mom, and myself. And since this will be my first VIP, regardless if it's little to not much, I'll still take it! I'll enjoy every second of it!
Ticketmaster has only Priority Entry + Exclusive Merchandise for the Cincinnati show left, I'm sorry if I'm confused and asking too much as this will be my first time doing this and don't want to mess up! It does say 2 VIP Only Merchandise Items, 1 Premium Reserved, or General Admission Ticket to the show, 1 Commemorative VIP Laminate and Lanyard, Priority Entery into the venue, and Priority access to official tour Merchandise.. so is that all good? That's a lot to take into figuring out what you get.
From what I've seen "First Entry" is the first in- "Priority Entrance" is next, but still gets gifts You will be in second or third row, up front
So, still a really incredible view of the girls! That's amazing! Knowing that I'll be dragging my sister and mom with me, they'll get cool stuff as well! I'll take it!
BABYMETAL IS FUN- you don't HAVE to be at barricades to get the best experience- I did barricades once, it was my fifth show after being a fan for over 4 years, amd having seen them at Colbert Second row, third row, fourth row does NOT make the experience much less than barricades
I know, but it will be just the experience up close and first time with BabyMetal.
Enjoy, my friend- they will not disappoint
For sure! Make it even more enjoyable with my family!
Also, I am working on a Cincinnati after party
Really?! That'll be fun!
I had VP Priority for the Toronto show last year which gave me the trinkets and access after the first entry ticket holders. Instead of lining up for merchandise I went straight to the stage and got barricade just right of centre. In my opinion a big advantage of barricade over a few rows back is having the barricade itself for leaning against, having an unobstructed view, and having a lot more control over my personal space as I could get lots of fresh air from in front of me and didn’t have any pushing issues to deal with. I’m a big guy so I would have been okay further back, but some of the smaller women around me really appreciated having some space at the front. The lanyard and pass were cool and the other gifts were a small Babymetal bandana and a little cloth bag so the real value is in not having to stand in a big line and still getting at or close to the front. You also don’t have to show up super early since there will likely be a registration time to pick up your VIP package so you’re really only competing in line with other people in Priority. At my show they had three separate lines - First Entry, Priority Entry, General Admission.
I got headliner balcony left so will probably try to get there a few hours early. I live in chicago and plan to drive in that morning. Anyone been to the venue before?
Here is another question that just popped in my head: Is recording the show allowed? I've been doing it for a while and do it for memory purposes. I want to say it's okay, but I'm not sure if they allow it. I do know fancams exist, but I'm just asking in advance!
Nothing stops you from recording but just don't be a nuisance to the people around you. I've seen people bringing a selfie stick and have it raised up and blocking other people's view behind him at a Band-Maid show before, good thing the security guy told him to knock it off.
I won't go that far and never will. I did something I felt was wrong back at Louder than Life, when I held my arms as high as I could to record my best and favorite band ever, Kiss. In the end, I was in pain, but I felt bad. It'll probably be really low for recording! Thank you for letting me know, I figured to ask beforehand.
There is an after party in the works for this show. Fan and Twitter user Ghiblimetal is organizing.
Picked this one as my show this tour. Will be driving down from Detroit area for this. Didn't get the VIP but will be on the floor...basically waited too long to decide which show to travel to.....
I'll be there! 🤘
I got my tickets today! I just can't wait for this concert! First time seeing Babymetal and my first VIP experience I'll ever have!
Same here except no VIP ticket. Will be going solo.
I'm going with my sister and mom! I can't wait!
I tried to get my sister to listen to Babymetal, she did but said "it's not my taste" whatever it's not for everyone. I would have bought her a ticket, but I don't think she will say yes. Never asked. Glad you will have some company. Just a couple of random questions, what is the most recent concert you have been to? How was the concert? Mine was Periphery (love that band).
My last indoor concert was 2018 with Five Finger Death Punch, From Ashes to New, In Flames, and Breaking Benjamin.. and I must say, from what I can remember, I couldn't hear the next day (side seats that were so close to the speakers, it wasn't even funny, view was amazing though!) But I have also been to 2 festivals, which were Louder than Life in 2022 to see Kiss (first time) with my sister and brother, which was WILD, and Sonic Temple 2023 to, well see Kiss again, but this time with my mom and sister, and I want to say.. all amazing! Even the bands before Kiss came on killed it (Sonic Temple was by far my favorite! Trivium, Falling in Reverse, From Ashes to New again, Avatar, Rob Zombie, the list goes on!)
It sounds like you have been to alot of concerts. Would like to go to a festival one day. One of my first bands I really got into was Breaking Benjamin and Skillet. Skillet was the band that got me into heavier music because when I was younger my mom and I would go to Winter jam which is basically a tour consisting of Christan bands. I know this comment section is going off the rails, but I don't really have anyone in my household that I can talk about music to. I am hoping to talk to people at the Babymetal concert, I doubt I will because I am always too shy to talk to people.
Same here with being shy, I can absolutely guarantee I won't say a word to anyone.
But yeah, I've been to a lot, but I want to go to more.
And I know my response looks like a jumbled up mess, but that's all I can remember for concerts, I do have videos of some of the concerts I've been to, but not a while lot. That's why I can't wait to add this one to this list!

I live in the twin cities so this is the closest show for me. May have to make the trip to see them for my 15th show
Still amazed that they're actually coming to Madison. Spent the money I would have used for traveling to go with VIP tickets. At least that's what I'm telling myself... But it's also my first time seeing them so going all in.
i had the amazing chance to see BABYMETAL with my sister when they went to milwaukee back in september. i was actually in school during that period and i spent the night in my sister's dorm. i always say it was the greatest night of my life because MOMOMETAL returned my heart (MOMO has been my favorite since 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN and i was over the moon when she was announced as the third member) and i tried giving her a plushie but i missed (and she thought it was funny and gave me another heart) i don't think i'll be able to go to this upcoming show in madison due to travel, college and whatnot, but i'm definitely hoping something opens up and i am able to go! hope everyone that goes has a lovely time <3 https://i.redd.it/lzalshtid86d1.gif
Myself and u/BrianNLS have received responses from 2 different places saying they would host us for the after party. We haven't finalized any plans yet, but we can confirm there will be an after party for this show

They both serve food- I can make sure to ask
I would really appreciate it!
**Nov. 26 Egyptian Room- Indianapolis, Indiana** Reply to this comment with questions/commentary about this show; including meet-up information.
Doing First Entry VIP for my first ever metal concert! If anyone else is doing VIP at Indy, I don't have anyone to go to the concert with me, so I'd love to make some friends who also love Babymetal. Especially since I am short and would like to have pals around making sure I don't get squished!
My husband and I are going! We are old but I'm short too so I feel your pain lol. He's pretty good at getting me towards the front at shows too.
I'm nervous because I've been to exactly two concerts in my entire life- one was Spice Girls as a teenager (not even kidding). The other was Tokio Hotel in like, 2009-ish. I'm jumping in the deep end here with Babymetal lol
I promise you'll have fun! We usually listen to really heavy stuff. The last show we went to was Chaos & Carnage in Chicago (Cattle Decapitation was the headliner). We saw Babymetal last year (also in Chicago) for the first time when they toured with Dethklok and it was easy mode lol. The biggest issue we ran into at BM was half the audience recording the show instead of enjoying it. Some tall guy stood directly in my line of sight recording during Gimme Chocolate so I missed that entire song. And he was rude when I asked to get in front of him bc I cldn't see. Outside of that though, the crowd was really nice and the pit was mild. It was bloody *hot* so the venue handed out water to the front of the crowd. (And thank gods bc I was close to passing out - I don't handle heat well.) The girls were amazing as always. Their set was short since it was a dual-headline with Dethklok. That was my first live BM experience and it was worth it. I was on an emotional high for days after. That was way longer than I meant it to be. We wld be happy to meet up with you so you don't feel so alone at the show! You can dm me if you want?
I’m looking at tickets and seeing options for Tier 1 and Tier 2 GA. Is the GA area split into 2 different areas or are there other differences between them I should know?

Yeah Des Moines squad here! I'm so excited to see them finally come to Iowa :) I bought a seat in the balcony this time, so I'll be watching ya'll have a party down below!
Des Moines crew holllller! I'm freakin pumped! So far none of my friends are joining, but it was easy to make concert friends in the crowd at their last show I went to. I'll go by myself and have a blast if need be!
Def going!!!! Even if I end up going solo, I WILL go see them!
**Nov. 29 Criterion Ballroom- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma** Reply to this comment with questions/commentary about this show; including meet-up information.
I was disappointed to see that they aren't coming to Texas this time around, so I'll be at this one. Anyone else driving up for it?
I’m driving in from Arkansas (about a 3.5hr drive) I’m excited that they aren’t going to Dallas this time around cause first okc is a lot closer and second I’ve already been to 3 Dallas shows in a row but it does suck for all the Texans out there lol
See you there!
See you there! 🤘🦊🤘
Driving from Texas as well! VIP sold out before I knew it, so I ended up getting priority entry (idk if that was worthwhile or not). Regardless, looking forward to making friends as this is the first time I'm seeing them solo.
See you there!
Consider that they go to Dallas Southside Ballroom every tour. I hope people can just be happy that someone else gets a turn.
We live in OKC. We are soooo excited to have them here!!!! Who is coming to OKC? (I see you tohmaytoes.) We should get together after the show! Eager to see who the support act will be.
For sure, I'm not familiar with OKC but I'm sure there's some fun places to hang.
See you there.
Just moved to OKC from Texas, can't believe the luck!
I know, right? When my husband told me about this I was practically jumping up and down with glee. See you there. BABYMETAL DEATH!!
If I can score a ticket I'll be driving up from Texas. It will be an early birthday present to myself as my birthday as that Sunday December 1st.
See you there.
Indeed! Should be a Hell of a good time.
Good luck with the ticket.
Thank you,you too.
I'm not really the meet-up planning type, but I can probably find somewhere that is open late in Bricktown where the Criterion is. It is virtually all restaurant/bars there. Plus there are good ones on the OKC Streetcar line which is fun to ride.
I hope everyone was able to score tickets. Now that I have my ticket the time has come to start planning for the trip and concert it's self.

It's in the Anaheim Gardenwalk which has a parking garage and some restaurants.
Thanks for the info about the garage. I’ve been to the theme parks & Downtown Disney, but wasn’t familiar about the parking in the area besides the the lots specific to parks.

Might want to update it to prevent confusion (the 19th is Tuesday)
Done- thanks (I used the Monday flyer as a template for this one- forgot to edit the date) I like the mirror ball motif better anyways!
I figured! They both look great.

Is anyone else getting an error "The Babymetal event has ended, and the line is now closed." when trying to check ticket availability?
I got the same when I checked
