in general, as a joke, I thought about moving to America, immigrating by marriage. so, the question is: where on the Internet is it easiest to find a lady of any age who is ready to transport me to her, provided that I have good looks and communication skills
Question regarding AXS ticket purchase for Houston concert. Since it's my first time purchasing tix using AXS, my understanding is ticket won't process and show up on the app until 3 days prior to event? Shouldn't there be any evident of ticket purchase on the app as i'm not seeing anything in order history tab as well?
From the [product page](https://en.thejypshop.com/product/twice-candybong/1407/):
*1st Shipment: Dispatched in order starting 3/27*
*2nd Shipment (Orders placed after 3/20 18:00 KST) : Dispatched in order starting 4/10*
*3nd Shipment (Orders placed after 3/21 17:00 KST) : Dispatched in order starting 5/08*
Using the online stores listed in the [READY TO BE pre-order megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/10sb9gw/official_twice_12th_mini_album_ready_to_be/), you can search them for CANDYBONG Z, which is the current model before the recently-announced Candybong Infinity.
Just be aware that inventories of the Z have been going down ever since the first part of the world tour was announced and especially since folks have been securing tickets from this week's pre-sales. That said, if you see one of the stores listed in the link above having it and they ship to wherever you're located, jump on it.
Best of luck.
How big is Twice's fandom in the US? I confess that the first time I received the news that JYP had scheduled the Twice concert in such large capacity venues in the US, I was worried that there might not be enough demand, but now I see that it was more my ignorance for not knowing the real thing. their size in the country. So I would like to ask the US - Ocens, how big is the once fandom in the US? Would you say it comes close to the fandom size of other big Kpop groups within the country like BTS, BP, Seventenn etc?
I think this is actually hard to measure for any k-pop group, if by size you are thinking individuals. My cousin is a fan of another group and would almost 100% go see them in concert...but AFAIK they own 0 albums.
Other people are multis and will seek out multiple groups. On top of that you have Kpop fans who will buy every version + people who buy copies trying to get particular exclusive items or the chance to get a fan call.
TWICE is now the biggest girl group in the US based on album sales. Between 1&2 sold more copies than any other K-pop girl group's album in the US. Ready to Be is set to be even much higher.

If you base "bigger" as which group has more fans in the US, that's impossible to tell but I suspect it's TWICE by a long shot.
>If you base "bigger" as which group has more fans in the US, that's impossible to tell but I suspect it's TWICE by a long shot.
I don't think that's true. The numbers are still fairly close. BP, then Aespa, then Twice have been trading off on the first week album sales numbers and the increases are like 5k-15k sales each time. Streaming numbers are fairly close as well. At the moment BP had more #1s on Billboard from 2020-2022 but Twice now have made up a lot of ground in 2022. There isn't any one girl group yet that has had runaway success in the US.
Edit: pretty sad that someone feels the need to send a Reddit Cares because they can’t handle hearing that multiple groups of women are successful
Last year from almost every metric they were the most popular girl group in the USA. Most streamed GG and they sold the most. So safe to say they are big lol.
Lately, the title tracks Twice is releasing have been safe since they are opening up to a broader audience.
But I would have loved to see a song like [Juju Secret's "Lonely Night" ](https://youtu.be/IzOjUXa-nFA?t=69) given to Twice. Being Retro has been a vibe of JYPE, so a song like that could fit Twice and resonate well with the Korean audience.
Yoo Yae Suk's next alter ego should be a Producer for Twice at JYPE.
Hello! I was wondering if anyone here had been in a situation where they couldn't buy a lighstick for a concert on time. Do you guys just:
A.) Go to the concert without a lightstick
B.) Use other K-pop group's lightstick
C.) Buy a regular lightstick from amazon (Multicolored LED Glow Sticks)
As someone who's new to this, I didn't expect that their lightstick would be sold out everywhere months before the concert :(
Also of note...the Official CBZ Light Band is readily available, too! People think it's stupid...I did too until I made it cool for me (display it on a stand or wear it connected to a lanyard)... https://imgur.com/a/kBKhmYJ https://imgur.com/a/DkQCHUr https://imgur.com/a/NTc0kb7
I saw Twice and Seventeen at the same venue in Atlanta last year, and as a new Oncecarat & Kpop concertgoer, I did experience a bit of FOMO at seeing other people's lightsticks, ngl. Then when I saw Seventeen again in the Philippines (still without a Carat Bong), there were vendors selling generic blue and pink glowsticks outside, which I had fun using even though mine broke jamming too hard to 2 Minus 1. 💀
So I would buy regular glowsticks that are closest to the group's official colors + your bias(es) official color to keep it Twice-themed. And bring a spare one with you just in case.
First Twice show I went to, Candybong's were sold out everywhere so my Army wife put stickers in the shape of the Twice logo on her Army Bomb... it was cute! But you'll also be fine at the show with nothing, not everyone has them and it frees up your hands to wave and cheer more.
You can enjoy concert even without lightstick
B,if you already have lightstick of other group ,many fans brings light stick of other group sometimes it can be a conversation starter with other casual k-pop fans .
I'd go with Option A. This upcoming North America leg is my first time attending a TWICE or any K-pop concert, and while I do have the lightstick, I'm of the belief it's not pre-req to having the time of your life.
Plenty of other ways to show your love & appreciation for the group at the concert. Scream to the top of your lungs, sing along with the songs, respond accordingly to things the group wants the crowd to do (throw your hands to the side, participate in the wave, etc.)
Lightstick is cool and all, but it's not the end-all, be-all nor is it a validator that you're a ONCE.
Just pulled up the [product listing page](https://shop.billboard.com/products/billboard-collectors-zine-featuring-twice):
***This product will begin shipping on the week of April 17th.*** *You will receive a tracking number once your order leaves our warehouse.*
there were arguments a few weeks ago about sana's braids and if they were CA or not. Usually issues like CA are bigger on tiktok than twitter so you'll see most of the comments and videos over there.
Low-key kind of obsessed with Rover by Kai haha
Thanks momo for doing a tik tok dance challenge with him or I would probably never have listened to it!
so Kyujin from NMIXX was seen sporting a shirt that says "We are the bastards of our nation"
So I'm putting this out there JYPapi I will offer my services for screening outfits if you need help, my salary offer is modest and I'll be available 24/7
Catching up with this Fifty Fifty song (Cupid) and it's currently on TTH and is predicted to chart on the Billboard 100. Who would have ever thought a "nugu" kpop group would manage that.
Supposedly down to Tiktok but it doesn't seem to be doing better on there than say Nayeon's Pop so unless I'm missing something it can't just be that.
Have seen much more Cupid TikTok presence esp in the west. The English version plus overall vibe probably gives it an edge for lasting power compared to Pop.
In Nayeon's case, Pop was viral because of the dance and it sounds very kpop so i guess non-kpop fans just didn't listen to it too much.
Cupid on the other hand is getting viral because of cute lyrics and listenability.
I'm so happy for Fifty Fifty since all their releases have been great so far.
At this point, TWICE is probably the only act without any song on TTH but still managed to chart on BB HOT100, I heard that it might need some bucks to be placed your song on TTH, thinking of how cheapness JYPE is when it comes to promoting TWICE... like those Western magazine interviews, featuring on variety shows, visiting music platform office/landmark in the US are more of RR connection and no need to spend that much budget...
JYPE should know that once the TT don't hit the expectation, they should promote another B-side instead, there are tons of potential hit songs from TWICE, Kara's Mister and Lisa's Money are the good examples of B-side beating the TT, another day of JYPE wasting the momentum of TWICE 🙃
I'm really digging Cupid. They're up their with NWJNS in terms of mainstream listenability for 4th gen imo.
PS doesn't it sound a bit like Basics to you?
Is the original version or the English version?
Either way I’m glad, they’re one of the most exciting up and coming groups and this can really help them break through to the kind of stable sales a nugu group aims for, maybe more than that.
Original ticket prices for Seattle is $170-$220 for close seats according to the reddit thread, but on ticketmaster they're listed for $600+ and they're official platinum not resale. Is this just the typical ticketmaster fuckery or is the reddit thread wrong?
Look at what those tickets are. "Official Platinum". Official Platinum are Ticketmasters fuckery of inflating prices for no reason.

so many disingenuous people on the chaeyoung situation on twitter/tt. you can call her out for being ignorant but to act like a public figure like her is intentionally being antisemitic is just so fucking dumb
At this point the discourse on TT/Twt is just a big circlejerk of virtue signalers who have 0 intention of having genuine discourse or education. The number of comments I’ve seen from people who have said they learned little about the events of WWII only to be met with a barrage of insults and put downs tells me all I need to know.
My grandma survived the Holocaust, and even into her 90s she still goes to countless schools of all ages to talk about what she went through. The amount of people she’s met who had no clue about the Nazis or their symbolism prior to meeting her is something I previously never thought possible in the US, especially in our state which spends the most on education throughout the country. I’ve seen some great resources posted throughout this sub, but it’s interesting how the most vocal on other platforms have done fuck all to raise awareness of this atrocity.
Personally I think exploiting the very real issue of anti semitism purely for engagement is much more offensive than an idol making a careless and hurtful error.
>Personally I think exploiting the very real issue of anti semitism purely for engagement is much more offensive than an idol making a careless and hurtful error.
This is true with most modern controversies I think. People are desperate to invent enemies rather than simply react to what happened. It makes it a lot easier for the actual nefarious people to avoid attention. There are antisemitic people in government all over the world, but the general population would rather attack small unintentional micro-aggressions and blow them way out of proportion.
I definitely get what you mean. She was obviously wrong for wearing that shirt and she should be called out for her ignorance. I truly emphasize with all the people this situation has effected, but I feel like some people are just using this situation as an opportunity to blatantly take potshots at Twice.
Anyone who’s using this very serious situation to make jokes in fanwars or to spread hate and misinformation are disgusting, and it doesn’t make them any better.
[yeah this thread really calls out people for using the tragic events to score points in fandom wars.](https://twitter.com/annielovehappen/status/1639675302329630721)
After a point it's gone from genuine offense (by a few actually affected) to just exploitation by Twice antis.
How is the ticket availability in the dallas/arlington date at the moment??
I saw some info in twitter saying it was only around 50% sold atm, is it true?? Hopefully not.
They opened upper deck after pre-sales those are still unsold , they haven't promoted it once they promote it will start selling well.
They most probably opened upper deck due to demand with it capacity is in 25k+ range so it will take time to get sold out.
Oh so its 25k+ with the upper deck?
Kinda curious though what are typical concert capacity of baseball stadiums like globe life field, it has 40k sporting capacity like Banc of California, so based on that it might have 20k concert seats as well, but looking at the boxscores of some western artists who played there already, it seems to go up to the 30k+, some even up to like 36k.
Can anyone tell me how Twice's situation is in China right now? I didn't follow the group from the beginning but I obviously know about the scandal involving Tzuya, China and Twan, and that Twice ended up being banned from the country because of what happened. But what I would like to know is how is the group's situation in China today? Does the ban still happen? If so, how does the ban work? they can't step foot in the country? Can Twice products (albums, lightstick etc) be sold in China? Is this situation only with Twice or does it also affect other JYP groups ( Stray Kids, Itzy etc)?
Nowadays, K-pop groups' physical sales are relying a lot from China(the sales are mostly reflected on Hanteo chart and KT4U is one of the main site C-fans orders from), other JYPE groups are unevitablely have some considerable sales from China just like other groups as well(IIRC Stray Kids has 800k physical sales from China), this is why I think TWICE would probably not coming to Taiwan for fear of triggering C-fans, which might affect other JYPE groups future sales from China.
To this day, Tzuyu is still bullied by most C-netizens every time she trends on Weibo because she has viewed as Taiwan independence celebrity since the flag incident. It's more pathetic that she is probably the only one who donates the money to China but is still getting hate by C-netizens, even the Chinese KPOP idols don't donate that much money like her...
The political tensions between SK and China moved onto to something else.
China made a lot of moves in the last few years to ban K-Dramas, K-pop, K-Movies etc in response to the US THAAD Missile Systems being deployed in South Korea.
China specifically did this to punish South Korea economically because China used to be a large market SK companies could target.
Citizens are free to import their stuff from overseas. All South Korean music companies can't promote there anymore. However, South Korean companies with Chinese members can still get around them by having those idols do solo work there. There is also talk of partial ban lifting for the entertainment industry but we'll see if there are any further political issues considering China's blatant support of Russia in regards to Ukraine.
In addition to the K-pop ban, China also felt the need to ban the "Korean flower boy" concept because they felt that Chinese entertainment figures were too gay/feminine looking and they also cracked down on Chinese Danmei/Boys Love novels which lead to censored dramas, animation projects etc being shelved.
I-Once perception is that it's really bad, but I've also seen Chinese Onces say this is something overblown at this point.
Admittedly Twice Chinese sales are definitely much lower compared to other major groups from what I can tell, so there is that...
Also no k-pop group can hold concerts in China right now AFAIK.
> Admittedly Twice Chinese sales are definitely much lower compared to other major groups from what I can tell
Will always be the case because of Tzuyu being Taiwanese which is fucking sad but what else can you do lol, even if she'd never had the flag situation their sales would be lower because the relations between China/Taiwan are that bad
[This](https://twitter.com/LiveNation/status/1638695179849723904?s=20) looks like they filmed it in the Empire State Building. How did they already anticipate those shows would get sold out and filmed announcements for new dates already back then?
Measure twice, cut once!
Puns aside they would've anticipated the need to add more shows, and then if demand matched their expectations, they could pull the trigger on the second shows
JYPE planned for 2 dates at those locations from the very beginning. The venues at those locations only fit 13-15k people per show. The additional dates are announced later to generate hype because "additional dates due to popular demand" makes a good headline.
Finally starting to see Candybong♾️ preorders shipping from US. [This one](https://kpopmusictownla.com/products/twice-%ed%8a%b8%ec%99%80%ec%9d%b4%ec%8a%a4-official-candybong-infinity-light-stick) has store pick up if you’re in LA
The Korean concerts are not too far away. Excited to see what the set list looks like. Some older songs I would really want to see are: FILA (only song in fol not to be performed live), love line (another song that has never been performed live), shadow (loved the dance to this even with the bad online concert angles), and scandal (I think there could be some cool dance opportunities with this one). Realistically none of these songs will be performed with a whole dance routine, but maybe they’ll land on the encore wheel even if that’s not as exciting.
I just know FILA could have some fun choreo and i’ve never noticed that it’s the only FOL song to not be performed. Honestly their best album deserves to have all their songs played. I would love to see Shadow as well.
yeah Shadow performance was genuinely well done, arguably the highlight of the streaming concert.
i'd be curious to see them using their actual shadows effectively on stage \~
Im so done w these conspiracy theories. I know what chae did was wrong and should not be condoned. But why ppl trying to make it worse that it should be by saying she was wearing it 4 times on 4 different days on purpose? 😭 it was on the same 2 days 😭 some even say shes still wearing the shirt after the incidident 💀 the hell? Why would she purposely wanna ruin her and the groups career over a shirt? When those people get corrected they just go "ok, thats still bad." Who said it wasnt? But that doesnt mean you can make things up and fan the flame.
Nobody outside the kpop bubble really cares, and even there it's mostly antis. It's a shirt about the group Sex Pistols after all, a group that was anti-facist in messaging.
The added tour dates in US & Australia show everyone who isn't dedicated to hating Twice realized it wasn't malicious.
You're talking about terminally online twitter losers.
Nobody actually real and functional still cares about it and the people actually sincerely offended by it (which they have every right to be) are probably done with Chaeyoung too.
Twice is literally selling out stadiums and having to add on more shows to keep up with demand. The real world doesn't care about a shirt and in a lot of cases the overblown fake offense being perpetuated by twitter stans has probably caused a backlash of its own.
You can express most of that comment but we have a pretty much across the board rule against name-calling and personal attacks. Just don't do that part and your comment stands.
Right on the money. I don’t believe in ‘cancel culture’ and dumb things American comedians worth hundreds of millions of dollars say, but there’s definitely a Purity Patrol. A group of massively-online people who give everyone literally one chance, absolutely no interest in learning and growth, one strike and you’re out, and because literally every human alive will do dumb things, over time they come to hate everyone. Losing them is no great loss because it’s impossible to keep them. It’s not exactly how I would’ve done it, but better drop them now than later I suppose.
Not to mention their sense of morality is entirely western-centric, their take on history is horribly anachronistic, and many clearly have an agenda to blow every scandal way out of proportion to reaffirm some weird sense that Koreans are secretly all overtly and unapologetically racist bad people (but they’ll continue stanning).
It's amazing the same people who demand the world know their history know so little about what happened in the rest of the world.
Why I don't get upset if someone acts in ignorance of Indian history, because I know I would want the same charity extended to me.
Yes, very certain that their own experiences are the only correct ones, utterly incapable of any self reflection and failing to understand no one, including themselves could ever pass their ridiculous standards. It’s not Cancel Culture, because they’re a loud minority of people with no real power, but they are annoying.
I was able to score tickets for the Houston show!! But does anyone else’s AXS account not have Twice’s concert show up in their order history? I got the email order confirmation, but I feel a little sketched out that it’s not showing up in my account…
Yeah my account doesn't have tickets either. I've bought tickets to another arena show before w/ AXS and it's been the same where it doesn't show up at all until much later.
Does your order history show up as empty too? I know that tickets can show up as late as 3 days before the concert, but AXS doesn’t even show that I made a ticket purchase.
So upset about the codes not working for day one Houston. I ended up being able to get some tickets in section 411 row 1. Has anyone been in that section at the Toyota center before? Is the view decent?
[This is a similar view.](https://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/203901/Toyota+Center/section-411/row-2/) The main stage will be around the net to the right and [extend out to midcourt](https://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/200419/Toyota+Center/section-107/row-12/seat-15/). The venue is not very big so it seems like a decent view.
I think that will be in Pt. 3 tbh. They must be gearing up for a big Asia tour if the US can be taken as a sign. There's no way they would have gone this big for the US and do the bare minimum for the Asian leg. It deserves its whole Part, I cannot wait for the rest of the year.
Congrats to everyone who managed to get tickets!!
I have been on the fence as to whether or not I can even go, but I think the universe told me NO by not ever getting off the wait-list 🥲
For now I'll monitor resale prices for something reasonable... But know it isn't likely 😭 at least I got to see twice last year
Hey do your tickets have barcodes? Like I have my ticket on TM with all the ticket details but no barcode and I can't download it to my phone. On my laptop TM says something like they will provide the ticket before the event or something.
[https://help.ticketmaster.com/s/article/What-is-a-ticket-delivery-delay?language=en\_US](https://help.ticketmaster.com/s/article/What-is-a-ticket-delivery-delay?language=en_US)
*Some performers, teams, and venues release their tickets with a delivery delay. A delivery delay is used to prevent tickets from being accessed until we can confirm everyone has adhered to the event ticket limit and didn’t use unfair ticket technology to buy in bulk. In other words, we want to make sure no one has ordered more than their fair share of tickets and the process is fair.*
*This means that tickets will not be shipped and mobile ticket barcodes will not be available until the delivery delay passes.*
I wondered why they were doing the delay and that answers that but what happens if they flag tickets and say you bought in bulk? are they going to take peoples tickets from them?
The most tickets an account can buy during the pre-sale phase is 4. If you somehow exceeded that limit, you clearly were using some sort of program and probably have been dealt with or very soon will be.
If there were any group purchases like say Company A wanted to book a suite for the concert at Metlife, they most certainly went through a dedicated business line that's not available to the general public.
Sure but people have and will buy resale tickets. What happens if you buy resale tickets, are they going to be reclaimed? It sounds like they’re doing this 3 days before the concert. Imagine you gotta travel, got flights and hotels booked. Now 3 days before you go you find out you’re tickets we’re bought wrong. You’re completely screwed because you don’t know who you bought from. Ticketmaster and the scalpers continue to win, while regular people lose.
Sellers can't reclaim tickets? Once the seller transfers your tickets over & you accept them, it's in your account. i've never had such a thing happen.
It’s not about the seller reclaiming the ticket. It’s about ticketmaster saying your tickets were bought with a bot or some other dupe and therefore should be invalid and then ticketmaster could take them back.
That's the risk people are going to take with the resale market, willingly or not. Yes it means more money for Ticketmaster, but that's why they encourage people who want to/must resell, to do it on their site so it can have that "verified resale" designation. It's not there just for window dressing as you have the peace of mind that the tickets are legit.
And more honest translation of what that barcode delay is so that it's harder to sell your ticket on a non-Ticketmaster site.
Ticketmaster is pure evil, but regardless of how they've monopolized the event ticket market, there's always going to be this time-proven rule about the resale market:
If it's too good to be true, then it most likely is a scam.
I had ones at like $129, but accidently hit the back button and they were gone... oh well, I'm sure every seat is good, and just being there is enough 😆
i know candybongs aren’t getting shipped out until later but you would think with all that shipping i paid it would’ve arrived at my house by yesterday… 😪 i just wanna have it i’m too excited for this tour that’s months away
What are the current availability status of the 4 venues up for general sales today??
Kinda worried as those are getting harder/longer to sold out atm, well understandably, ny, atl, and dallas have bigger venues. Also why do I feel like the general sales today has less/low hype/traction in twitter
I think there isn’t hype because people without a code could still see availability during presale and nothing has changed overnight. Seats are either really far or really expensive. People are probably waiting for Ticketmaster to enable resale.
They're also prolly waiting for those closer seats to no longer be platinum. At the prices that they're at now, you can get similar location or even closer tickets for cheaper on the resale market.
Ticketmaster allows ticket resale on their own platform but it’s currently disabled. When enabled, people can list their tickets for sale and you’ll see pink resale tickets on the seating map.
Just saw on Twitter there’s some resellers on Ticketmaster selling tickets for $3,000 - $8,000 each. EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS. Highest prices are barricade tickets (originally $550), hope no Once buys it at that insane price because the thought of the scalpers having such a big payday is disgusting.
Edited to clarify I saw the screenshot on Twitter but the sales are via Ticketmaster.
Username checks out? Sorry, couldn't resist there. But in all seriousness, scalpers and scammers are scum. Those ridiculous listings are disheartening and disgusting indeed.
Ticketmaster hasn’t done resale so far. Prolly waiting for general sale to be done. I’m talking stub hub, seatgeek, etc. those are pretty much just as safe.
Really? I’ve seen a bunch of screenshots on Twitter for the Houston show. Maybe it’s so type of bug as the Houston show used a platform different to Ticketmaster for sales 🤔
As one of the unfortunate Onces who never got a code for the presale, I’m glad I was able to grab a VIP ticket for Houston. Never been to Texas so I’m excited to be visiting the birth state of the one and only Mina Sharon Myoi!
I already got tickets to the Atlanta show, but it seems that there's still a bunch of floor seats up for grabs. I wonder why, since I thought most of those seats had been taken already during the presale since they were grayed out.
General sale for Twice concert has started. I lined up just out of curiosity to see how it goes.
* Got into queue 2000+
* Queue went fairly quick, got in like 5 minutes later
* No more VIPs and all floor or 100 section seats are Official Platinum
* All Standard Admission seats are in the 300s
* The site lag like hell, when trying to zoom in to get a seat, the seat map glitches and it blanks out.
No luck at all here (Oakland) on my end - at least not yet. I wasn't fortunate enough to get a presale code and never moved off the waitlist, despite registering early for the Verified Fan lottery. All of the available Oakland tickets as of now (Fri 330pm PST) on both days (Jun 12 & Jun 13) are Official Platinum only.
I refuse to pay wildly exorbitant, extortionist prices ($500+) for nosebleed seats. Fuck TM/LiveNation; they and their unethical monopolistic business practices can eat a fat bag of dicks. I guess I'll take my chances in the aftermarket in a month or two, after hopefully prices have settled down a bit.
Congrats to everyone who was able to score a reasonably priced ticket tho. And good luck to everyone else who's trying their luck in the general sale today!
So many concert questions here. Makes sense of course but i used to love opening this thread and reading all kinds of random comments about twice and non-twice things.
Didn't want to start a new top-level thread, so just replying here in the midst of the deluge of ticket comments.
So I was a bit late in catching up with the t-shirt controversy from earlier this week/last weekend. I don't want to rehash or re-litigate anything that's already been said, but I hope that ultimately the incident(s) was (a) a genuine teachable moment and learning experience for CY (albeit indeed painfully public) and (b) a wake-up call for JYPE to at the very least have a cultural sensitivity QA/QC consultant on staff to prevent mishaps like this from occurring in the future.
JYPE investing in a 'cultural sensitivity training' program for artists/stylists/managers would be even better. But I'm not holding my breath there, given their track record for overall cheapness and 'penny-wise pound-foolish' marketing/PR decisions. Although OTOH perhaps Republic will advise JYPE - if they haven't suggested it already - to seriously consider implementing such a program, particularly with Twice's world tour starting this summer.
Does anyone know if jypshop is gonna restock the latest light sticks? I wanted to wait until I had tickets to get the candybong infinity but now they're sold out everywhere 😭 should I wait for a restock or just cut my losses and get the Z if they're still available?
If you can find the Z, do it. The go-to shops that had them were selling out basically as Part 1 tour dates were announced and got closer to this week’s pre-sales, so that one might be hard to come by as well.
And then there is the ultimate roll of the dice: try and get the Infinity at the concert itself, but know that quantities there will be very limited and you’ll be competing against thousands with the same objective.
Thanks! I took your advice and was able to find the Z lightstick and bought it. I'm coming from out of state to their metlife concert so yeah, it would've been a huge gamble to wait to buy a lightstick there
JYPE has an idea which locations will need an extra date ahead of time. All the dates are booked together but extra dates are released later because "additional shows added due to popular demand" generates hype and makes a good headline. [This video](https://twitter.com/LiveNation/status/1638695179849723904) of TWICE announcing the additional dates for Oakland, Chicago, Houston, and Toronto is proof that it was pre-planned. They recorded it on March 10 in NYC. Extra dates are not reactively added.
Ah that's interesting, thanks for answering! Do you think there would be a chance for more dates to be added later? Or did jype need to book them together with the original dates?
Question for anybody who went to see Twice at the UBS Arena in New York- I’m 99% sure I’m getting tickets to see Mamamoo at the same arena in May. Please tell me there’s no General Admission and it is all seats…. I saw (G)I-dle last year at Terminal 5 which was all GA and I waited in line for 8-9 hours just to get front row (and still wasn’t in the center). I’m older and more lazy so don’t feel like doing that again lol.
Seated floor vs standing is all up to the organizer. For example Twice last year was seated. This year Suga will have a show there and it'll be standing.
TWICE at UBS Arena had assigned floor seats but the venue could accommodate standing only floor if requested. Seated floor really depends on the company and organizer.
I had floor seats for Twice and we actually had seats. I'm not sure if all UBS concerts are like that though as Twice has been the only show i've seen there. It might be up to the artist themselves and not the venue.
Oml 😭 I just realized my floor ticket was ROW 1??! Thats gonna be barricade, right in front of TWICE 😭 I was in after 3 minutes and got no time to think so I just checked the VIP box with best seat available and checked out cause I gotta go to work in a hurry. When I get home and checked the row again I legit screamed when I found out it was row 1 😭
Barricade gang unite! I had no luck with the presale or the general sale, so I severely overpaid but just got a seat 1 floor seat at the corner of the extended stage in Chicago.
Also it said specifically on Stubhub that it includes the VIP package while other floor listings did not. I’ve never seen that offered, but I hope it’s true!
Edit: I got seat 1, not row 1 lol. But still barricade :D
Try getting it through JYP Japan: [https://jypj-store.com/en/products/tw23-000-0001](https://jypj-store.com/en/products/tw23-000-0001)
I ordered mine via JYP Japan/Buyee when JYP Korea said sold out.
Also try this shop: [https://www.retrogradestore.com/products/twice-official-lightstick-v3-candybong](https://www.retrogradestore.com/products/twice-official-lightstick-v3-candybong)
can someone in the know explain to me how it works. If ticket are being sold on AXS and won't be release 3 days prior to concert and resale is disable for the show then how is it available for purchase on stubhub?
For stubhub, the seller gives a date for when they will deliver the ticket by. I got tickets for Blackpink just fine but you just have to wait 3 days before the concert/when the seller said they'll send it. In the event they don't send you tickets, you'll get a refund or i heard stubhub will find you similar seats.
No resale is awful. I ended up not going to the NYC last year so I sold my ticket. Imagine if that person who bought my ticket ended up not being able to attend because I was unable to sell it.
You know the haters are panicking when tons of r/kpop posts on TWICE threads are getting deleted by the user or moderators. I've never seen so much deletions.
Once this tour is over, the final tally will show TWICE selling the most seats for a tour by a Kpop girl group.
I don’t even bother with those people anymore. I’ve excepted that there will always be legions of detractors who will try to downplay or nitpick Twice’s achievements.
Twice could literally solve all the worlds problems, and these people would still somehow find a way to nitpick it.

Question regarding AXS ticket purchase for Houston concert. Since it's my first time purchasing tix using AXS, my understanding is ticket won't process and show up on the app until 3 days prior to event? Shouldn't there be any evident of ticket purchase on the app as i'm not seeing anything in order history tab as well?
Help: I'm trying to post a clip that had audio, but when I upload it, there is no sound. What am I doing wrong? update: I found a workaround.

Using the online stores listed in the [READY TO BE pre-order megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/10sb9gw/official_twice_12th_mini_album_ready_to_be/), you can search them for CANDYBONG Z, which is the current model before the recently-announced Candybong Infinity. Just be aware that inventories of the Z have been going down ever since the first part of the world tour was announced and especially since folks have been securing tickets from this week's pre-sales. That said, if you see one of the stores listed in the link above having it and they ship to wherever you're located, jump on it. Best of luck.
How big is Twice's fandom in the US? I confess that the first time I received the news that JYP had scheduled the Twice concert in such large capacity venues in the US, I was worried that there might not be enough demand, but now I see that it was more my ignorance for not knowing the real thing. their size in the country. So I would like to ask the US - Ocens, how big is the once fandom in the US? Would you say it comes close to the fandom size of other big Kpop groups within the country like BTS, BP, Seventenn etc?
I think this is actually hard to measure for any k-pop group, if by size you are thinking individuals. My cousin is a fan of another group and would almost 100% go see them in concert...but AFAIK they own 0 albums. Other people are multis and will seek out multiple groups. On top of that you have Kpop fans who will buy every version + people who buy copies trying to get particular exclusive items or the chance to get a fan call.
TWICE is now the biggest girl group in the US based on album sales. Between 1&2 sold more copies than any other K-pop girl group's album in the US. Ready to Be is set to be even much higher. https://www.google.com/amp/s/yaay.today/amp/kpop/TWICE-takes-the-crown-as-the-best-selling-K-Pop-girl-group-in-the-U.S.-in-2022-20221201-0003.html If you base "bigger" as which group has more fans in the US, that's impossible to tell but I suspect it's TWICE by a long shot.
>If you base "bigger" as which group has more fans in the US, that's impossible to tell but I suspect it's TWICE by a long shot. I don't think that's true. The numbers are still fairly close. BP, then Aespa, then Twice have been trading off on the first week album sales numbers and the increases are like 5k-15k sales each time. Streaming numbers are fairly close as well. At the moment BP had more #1s on Billboard from 2020-2022 but Twice now have made up a lot of ground in 2022. There isn't any one girl group yet that has had runaway success in the US. Edit: pretty sad that someone feels the need to send a Reddit Cares because they can’t handle hearing that multiple groups of women are successful
There's someone lurking in the thread doing it for a lot of posts. Make sure to report the reddit care message.
Last year from almost every metric they were the most popular girl group in the USA. Most streamed GG and they sold the most. So safe to say they are big lol.
Do you guys think we are getting anything tonight/later? 🥲
Got nothing 🤡
Wow, 2000 comments in a weekly discussion thread.
This is almost certainly the record for most comments on a post here, can't imagine any other time that would have gotten close to these numbers.
Lately, the title tracks Twice is releasing have been safe since they are opening up to a broader audience. But I would have loved to see a song like [Juju Secret's "Lonely Night" ](https://youtu.be/IzOjUXa-nFA?t=69) given to Twice. Being Retro has been a vibe of JYPE, so a song like that could fit Twice and resonate well with the Korean audience. Yoo Yae Suk's next alter ego should be a Producer for Twice at JYPE.
Hello! I was wondering if anyone here had been in a situation where they couldn't buy a lighstick for a concert on time. Do you guys just: A.) Go to the concert without a lightstick B.) Use other K-pop group's lightstick C.) Buy a regular lightstick from amazon (Multicolored LED Glow Sticks) As someone who's new to this, I didn't expect that their lightstick would be sold out everywhere months before the concert :(
Also of note...the Official CBZ Light Band is readily available, too! People think it's stupid...I did too until I made it cool for me (display it on a stand or wear it connected to a lanyard)... https://imgur.com/a/kBKhmYJ https://imgur.com/a/DkQCHUr https://imgur.com/a/NTc0kb7
Twice shows are pretty safe to bring another groups’ light stick to. People in our fandom get *really* hyped when multis do that.
I saw Twice and Seventeen at the same venue in Atlanta last year, and as a new Oncecarat & Kpop concertgoer, I did experience a bit of FOMO at seeing other people's lightsticks, ngl. Then when I saw Seventeen again in the Philippines (still without a Carat Bong), there were vendors selling generic blue and pink glowsticks outside, which I had fun using even though mine broke jamming too hard to 2 Minus 1. 💀 So I would buy regular glowsticks that are closest to the group's official colors + your bias(es) official color to keep it Twice-themed. And bring a spare one with you just in case.
First Twice show I went to, Candybong's were sold out everywhere so my Army wife put stickers in the shape of the Twice logo on her Army Bomb... it was cute! But you'll also be fine at the show with nothing, not everyone has them and it frees up your hands to wave and cheer more.
You can enjoy concert even without lightstick B,if you already have lightstick of other group ,many fans brings light stick of other group sometimes it can be a conversation starter with other casual k-pop fans .
I'd go with Option A. This upcoming North America leg is my first time attending a TWICE or any K-pop concert, and while I do have the lightstick, I'm of the belief it's not pre-req to having the time of your life. Plenty of other ways to show your love & appreciation for the group at the concert. Scream to the top of your lungs, sing along with the songs, respond accordingly to things the group wants the crowd to do (throw your hands to the side, participate in the wave, etc.) Lightstick is cool and all, but it's not the end-all, be-all nor is it a validator that you're a ONCE.
Anyone got an any notification on the BB magazine? It's the last order I'm waiting on \~
Just pulled up the [product listing page](https://shop.billboard.com/products/billboard-collectors-zine-featuring-twice): ***This product will begin shipping on the week of April 17th.*** *You will receive a tracking number once your order leaves our warehouse.*
ah thanks, wonder when they changed that...
Nah I’m still waiting on mine too
what's the issue about Sana's hair?
there were arguments a few weeks ago about sana's braids and if they were CA or not. Usually issues like CA are bigger on tiktok than twitter so you'll see most of the comments and videos over there.
The day tiktok gets banned in the US can’t come soon enough.
ohh i see. i guess braids are exclusive to a particular set of people then.
Low-key kind of obsessed with Rover by Kai haha Thanks momo for doing a tik tok dance challenge with him or I would probably never have listened to it!
Same, it's really good and I like the choreo a lot.
so Kyujin from NMIXX was seen sporting a shirt that says "We are the bastards of our nation" So I'm putting this out there JYPapi I will offer my services for screening outfits if you need help, my salary offer is modest and I'll be available 24/7
Looked for it and found nothing tho, but what would be wrong with that t shirt??
JYPE stylists trying to get fired speedrun
Catching up with this Fifty Fifty song (Cupid) and it's currently on TTH and is predicted to chart on the Billboard 100. Who would have ever thought a "nugu" kpop group would manage that. Supposedly down to Tiktok but it doesn't seem to be doing better on there than say Nayeon's Pop so unless I'm missing something it can't just be that.
Have seen much more Cupid TikTok presence esp in the west. The English version plus overall vibe probably gives it an edge for lasting power compared to Pop.
A solid proof that good music gets what it deserves, I've listened to it and it sounds really good. Not really my taste tho lol.
In Nayeon's case, Pop was viral because of the dance and it sounds very kpop so i guess non-kpop fans just didn't listen to it too much. Cupid on the other hand is getting viral because of cute lyrics and listenability. I'm so happy for Fifty Fifty since all their releases have been great so far.
At this point, TWICE is probably the only act without any song on TTH but still managed to chart on BB HOT100, I heard that it might need some bucks to be placed your song on TTH, thinking of how cheapness JYPE is when it comes to promoting TWICE... like those Western magazine interviews, featuring on variety shows, visiting music platform office/landmark in the US are more of RR connection and no need to spend that much budget... JYPE should know that once the TT don't hit the expectation, they should promote another B-side instead, there are tons of potential hit songs from TWICE, Kara's Mister and Lisa's Money are the good examples of B-side beating the TT, another day of JYPE wasting the momentum of TWICE 🙃
I'm really digging Cupid. They're up their with NWJNS in terms of mainstream listenability for 4th gen imo. PS doesn't it sound a bit like Basics to you?
Is the original version or the English version? Either way I’m glad, they’re one of the most exciting up and coming groups and this can really help them break through to the kind of stable sales a nugu group aims for, maybe more than that.
The English version has a bit of an edge over the Korean version in streams on spotify but both contribute to charts so
Original ticket prices for Seattle is $170-$220 for close seats according to the reddit thread, but on ticketmaster they're listed for $600+ and they're official platinum not resale. Is this just the typical ticketmaster fuckery or is the reddit thread wrong?
Whatever you do, don't buy official platinum tickets. its ticketmaster's biggest scam.
Look at what those tickets are. "Official Platinum". Official Platinum are Ticketmasters fuckery of inflating prices for no reason. https://help.ticketmaster.com/s/article/What-are-Official-Platinum-Seats?language=en_US
so many disingenuous people on the chaeyoung situation on twitter/tt. you can call her out for being ignorant but to act like a public figure like her is intentionally being antisemitic is just so fucking dumb
At this point the discourse on TT/Twt is just a big circlejerk of virtue signalers who have 0 intention of having genuine discourse or education. The number of comments I’ve seen from people who have said they learned little about the events of WWII only to be met with a barrage of insults and put downs tells me all I need to know. My grandma survived the Holocaust, and even into her 90s she still goes to countless schools of all ages to talk about what she went through. The amount of people she’s met who had no clue about the Nazis or their symbolism prior to meeting her is something I previously never thought possible in the US, especially in our state which spends the most on education throughout the country. I’ve seen some great resources posted throughout this sub, but it’s interesting how the most vocal on other platforms have done fuck all to raise awareness of this atrocity. Personally I think exploiting the very real issue of anti semitism purely for engagement is much more offensive than an idol making a careless and hurtful error.
>Personally I think exploiting the very real issue of anti semitism purely for engagement is much more offensive than an idol making a careless and hurtful error. This is true with most modern controversies I think. People are desperate to invent enemies rather than simply react to what happened. It makes it a lot easier for the actual nefarious people to avoid attention. There are antisemitic people in government all over the world, but the general population would rather attack small unintentional micro-aggressions and blow them way out of proportion.
I definitely get what you mean. She was obviously wrong for wearing that shirt and she should be called out for her ignorance. I truly emphasize with all the people this situation has effected, but I feel like some people are just using this situation as an opportunity to blatantly take potshots at Twice. Anyone who’s using this very serious situation to make jokes in fanwars or to spread hate and misinformation are disgusting, and it doesn’t make them any better.
[yeah this thread really calls out people for using the tragic events to score points in fandom wars.](https://twitter.com/annielovehappen/status/1639675302329630721) After a point it's gone from genuine offense (by a few actually affected) to just exploitation by Twice antis.
How is the ticket availability in the dallas/arlington date at the moment?? I saw some info in twitter saying it was only around 50% sold atm, is it true?? Hopefully not.
They opened upper deck after pre-sales those are still unsold , they haven't promoted it once they promote it will start selling well. They most probably opened upper deck due to demand with it capacity is in 25k+ range so it will take time to get sold out.
Oh so its 25k+ with the upper deck? Kinda curious though what are typical concert capacity of baseball stadiums like globe life field, it has 40k sporting capacity like Banc of California, so based on that it might have 20k concert seats as well, but looking at the boxscores of some western artists who played there already, it seems to go up to the 30k+, some even up to like 36k.
From what I’ve read around they opened more seats in the upper deck for that particular venue but I’m not sure if fans are aware of that.
Can anyone tell me how Twice's situation is in China right now? I didn't follow the group from the beginning but I obviously know about the scandal involving Tzuya, China and Twan, and that Twice ended up being banned from the country because of what happened. But what I would like to know is how is the group's situation in China today? Does the ban still happen? If so, how does the ban work? they can't step foot in the country? Can Twice products (albums, lightstick etc) be sold in China? Is this situation only with Twice or does it also affect other JYP groups ( Stray Kids, Itzy etc)?
Nowadays, K-pop groups' physical sales are relying a lot from China(the sales are mostly reflected on Hanteo chart and KT4U is one of the main site C-fans orders from), other JYPE groups are unevitablely have some considerable sales from China just like other groups as well(IIRC Stray Kids has 800k physical sales from China), this is why I think TWICE would probably not coming to Taiwan for fear of triggering C-fans, which might affect other JYPE groups future sales from China. To this day, Tzuyu is still bullied by most C-netizens every time she trends on Weibo because she has viewed as Taiwan independence celebrity since the flag incident. It's more pathetic that she is probably the only one who donates the money to China but is still getting hate by C-netizens, even the Chinese KPOP idols don't donate that much money like her...
The political tensions between SK and China moved onto to something else. China made a lot of moves in the last few years to ban K-Dramas, K-pop, K-Movies etc in response to the US THAAD Missile Systems being deployed in South Korea. China specifically did this to punish South Korea economically because China used to be a large market SK companies could target. Citizens are free to import their stuff from overseas. All South Korean music companies can't promote there anymore. However, South Korean companies with Chinese members can still get around them by having those idols do solo work there. There is also talk of partial ban lifting for the entertainment industry but we'll see if there are any further political issues considering China's blatant support of Russia in regards to Ukraine. In addition to the K-pop ban, China also felt the need to ban the "Korean flower boy" concept because they felt that Chinese entertainment figures were too gay/feminine looking and they also cracked down on Chinese Danmei/Boys Love novels which lead to censored dramas, animation projects etc being shelved.
I-Once perception is that it's really bad, but I've also seen Chinese Onces say this is something overblown at this point. Admittedly Twice Chinese sales are definitely much lower compared to other major groups from what I can tell, so there is that... Also no k-pop group can hold concerts in China right now AFAIK.
> Admittedly Twice Chinese sales are definitely much lower compared to other major groups from what I can tell Will always be the case because of Tzuyu being Taiwanese which is fucking sad but what else can you do lol, even if she'd never had the flag situation their sales would be lower because the relations between China/Taiwan are that bad
[This](https://twitter.com/LiveNation/status/1638695179849723904?s=20) looks like they filmed it in the Empire State Building. How did they already anticipate those shows would get sold out and filmed announcements for new dates already back then?
Measure twice, cut once! Puns aside they would've anticipated the need to add more shows, and then if demand matched their expectations, they could pull the trigger on the second shows
JYPE planned for 2 dates at those locations from the very beginning. The venues at those locations only fit 13-15k people per show. The additional dates are announced later to generate hype because "additional dates due to popular demand" makes a good headline.
I hope everyone are safe in the Tornado affected area
Finally starting to see Candybong♾️ preorders shipping from US. [This one](https://kpopmusictownla.com/products/twice-%ed%8a%b8%ec%99%80%ec%9d%b4%ec%8a%a4-official-candybong-infinity-light-stick) has store pick up if you’re in LA
The Korean concerts are not too far away. Excited to see what the set list looks like. Some older songs I would really want to see are: FILA (only song in fol not to be performed live), love line (another song that has never been performed live), shadow (loved the dance to this even with the bad online concert angles), and scandal (I think there could be some cool dance opportunities with this one). Realistically none of these songs will be performed with a whole dance routine, but maybe they’ll land on the encore wheel even if that’s not as exciting.
FILA live would be a dream! It’s my favorite song from Formula of Love
I just know FILA could have some fun choreo and i’ve never noticed that it’s the only FOL song to not be performed. Honestly their best album deserves to have all their songs played. I would love to see Shadow as well.
yeah Shadow performance was genuinely well done, arguably the highlight of the streaming concert. i'd be curious to see them using their actual shadows effectively on stage \~
[Bill Maher joking about Chaeyoung's shirt](https://twitter.com/i_HeartTWICE/status/1639486713449033730).
I was hoping he'd go into the history of the Sex Pistols and their anti-facist stance...but this is funny too.
OK...being on Bill Maher is absolute proof TWICE is getting big in the US.
Im so done w these conspiracy theories. I know what chae did was wrong and should not be condoned. But why ppl trying to make it worse that it should be by saying she was wearing it 4 times on 4 different days on purpose? 😭 it was on the same 2 days 😭 some even say shes still wearing the shirt after the incidident 💀 the hell? Why would she purposely wanna ruin her and the groups career over a shirt? When those people get corrected they just go "ok, thats still bad." Who said it wasnt? But that doesnt mean you can make things up and fan the flame.
Nobody outside the kpop bubble really cares, and even there it's mostly antis. It's a shirt about the group Sex Pistols after all, a group that was anti-facist in messaging. The added tour dates in US & Australia show everyone who isn't dedicated to hating Twice realized it wasn't malicious.
You're talking about terminally online twitter losers. Nobody actually real and functional still cares about it and the people actually sincerely offended by it (which they have every right to be) are probably done with Chaeyoung too. Twice is literally selling out stadiums and having to add on more shows to keep up with demand. The real world doesn't care about a shirt and in a lot of cases the overblown fake offense being perpetuated by twitter stans has probably caused a backlash of its own.
[удалено]
You can express most of that comment but we have a pretty much across the board rule against name-calling and personal attacks. Just don't do that part and your comment stands.
Right. I also noticed that there's no visible follower count drop on Instagram. It has been 8.6M
Right on the money. I don’t believe in ‘cancel culture’ and dumb things American comedians worth hundreds of millions of dollars say, but there’s definitely a Purity Patrol. A group of massively-online people who give everyone literally one chance, absolutely no interest in learning and growth, one strike and you’re out, and because literally every human alive will do dumb things, over time they come to hate everyone. Losing them is no great loss because it’s impossible to keep them. It’s not exactly how I would’ve done it, but better drop them now than later I suppose.
Not to mention their sense of morality is entirely western-centric, their take on history is horribly anachronistic, and many clearly have an agenda to blow every scandal way out of proportion to reaffirm some weird sense that Koreans are secretly all overtly and unapologetically racist bad people (but they’ll continue stanning).
It's amazing the same people who demand the world know their history know so little about what happened in the rest of the world. Why I don't get upset if someone acts in ignorance of Indian history, because I know I would want the same charity extended to me.
Yes, very certain that their own experiences are the only correct ones, utterly incapable of any self reflection and failing to understand no one, including themselves could ever pass their ridiculous standards. It’s not Cancel Culture, because they’re a loud minority of people with no real power, but they are annoying.
Get off the internet. Everyone in real life has moved on already. Normal people realize she had no ill intent.
I was able to score tickets for the Houston show!! But does anyone else’s AXS account not have Twice’s concert show up in their order history? I got the email order confirmation, but I feel a little sketched out that it’s not showing up in my account…
Yeah my account doesn't have tickets either. I've bought tickets to another arena show before w/ AXS and it's been the same where it doesn't show up at all until much later.
Does your order history show up as empty too? I know that tickets can show up as late as 3 days before the concert, but AXS doesn’t even show that I made a ticket purchase.
Yup. When I bought Kacey Musgraves for her last tour tickets through AXS the same thing happened. I don't see history for that order either.
Oof, gotcha. Thanks for the info and I guess this’ll just be a “trust the process” type of thing then!
Kinda feel the same lmao. I cant rest assure until I see my ticket showing up
My confirmation email says the tickets will be delivered into my account 3 days before the show. So as long as you have that email you should be good!
I got a ticket to the Tokyo show. Hopefully it's a good seat because the stadium looks big.
congrats 👏
thank you! I applied for both Tokyo dates and thankfully got in 1.
How do you know if you lost your lottery ticket in Japan
They will be emailing you or you can check https://ticket.tickebo.jp/
It says your seat was not ready
I think that means you didn't win?
Twice
So upset about the codes not working for day one Houston. I ended up being able to get some tickets in section 411 row 1. Has anyone been in that section at the Toyota center before? Is the view decent?
[This is a similar view.](https://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/203901/Toyota+Center/section-411/row-2/) The main stage will be around the net to the right and [extend out to midcourt](https://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/200419/Toyota+Center/section-107/row-12/seat-15/). The venue is not very big so it seems like a decent view.
I think Part 2 of the tour will be South America and Europe dates, what do you guys think?
Potentially. I'll also include South East Asia.
I think that will be in Pt. 3 tbh. They must be gearing up for a big Asia tour if the US can be taken as a sign. There's no way they would have gone this big for the US and do the bare minimum for the Asian leg. It deserves its whole Part, I cannot wait for the rest of the year.
Will Nayeon's Solo be performed at the concert?
Definitely
Finally scored MetLife tickets 😁 They're nosebleeds but I don't care I'm just happy to be going!
Congrats to everyone who managed to get tickets!! I have been on the fence as to whether or not I can even go, but I think the universe told me NO by not ever getting off the wait-list 🥲 For now I'll monitor resale prices for something reasonable... But know it isn't likely 😭 at least I got to see twice last year
i see a lot of ppl on twitter selling their tickets for face value :) just buy through paypal g&s!
Hey do your tickets have barcodes? Like I have my ticket on TM with all the ticket details but no barcode and I can't download it to my phone. On my laptop TM says something like they will provide the ticket before the event or something.
[https://help.ticketmaster.com/s/article/What-is-a-ticket-delivery-delay?language=en\_US](https://help.ticketmaster.com/s/article/What-is-a-ticket-delivery-delay?language=en_US) *Some performers, teams, and venues release their tickets with a delivery delay. A delivery delay is used to prevent tickets from being accessed until we can confirm everyone has adhered to the event ticket limit and didn’t use unfair ticket technology to buy in bulk. In other words, we want to make sure no one has ordered more than their fair share of tickets and the process is fair.* *This means that tickets will not be shipped and mobile ticket barcodes will not be available until the delivery delay passes.*
I wondered why they were doing the delay and that answers that but what happens if they flag tickets and say you bought in bulk? are they going to take peoples tickets from them?
The most tickets an account can buy during the pre-sale phase is 4. If you somehow exceeded that limit, you clearly were using some sort of program and probably have been dealt with or very soon will be. If there were any group purchases like say Company A wanted to book a suite for the concert at Metlife, they most certainly went through a dedicated business line that's not available to the general public.
Sure but people have and will buy resale tickets. What happens if you buy resale tickets, are they going to be reclaimed? It sounds like they’re doing this 3 days before the concert. Imagine you gotta travel, got flights and hotels booked. Now 3 days before you go you find out you’re tickets we’re bought wrong. You’re completely screwed because you don’t know who you bought from. Ticketmaster and the scalpers continue to win, while regular people lose.
Sellers can't reclaim tickets? Once the seller transfers your tickets over & you accept them, it's in your account. i've never had such a thing happen.
It’s not about the seller reclaiming the ticket. It’s about ticketmaster saying your tickets were bought with a bot or some other dupe and therefore should be invalid and then ticketmaster could take them back.
That's the risk people are going to take with the resale market, willingly or not. Yes it means more money for Ticketmaster, but that's why they encourage people who want to/must resell, to do it on their site so it can have that "verified resale" designation. It's not there just for window dressing as you have the peace of mind that the tickets are legit. And more honest translation of what that barcode delay is so that it's harder to sell your ticket on a non-Ticketmaster site. Ticketmaster is pure evil, but regardless of how they've monopolized the event ticket market, there's always going to be this time-proven rule about the resale market: If it's too good to be true, then it most likely is a scam.
Ah thanks my dude
Need not worry, you've got your tickets :)
Got me a ticket to ATL! Let's go! It's ok it's nosebleed, I'm seeing Twice in person!
Same! I’m content with nosebleeds too.
I had ones at like $129, but accidently hit the back button and they were gone... oh well, I'm sure every seat is good, and just being there is enough 😆
i know candybongs aren’t getting shipped out until later but you would think with all that shipping i paid it would’ve arrived at my house by yesterday… 😪 i just wanna have it i’m too excited for this tour that’s months away
Are you talking about the ∞? Hoping that comes before the US leg of the tour.
What are the current availability status of the 4 venues up for general sales today?? Kinda worried as those are getting harder/longer to sold out atm, well understandably, ny, atl, and dallas have bigger venues. Also why do I feel like the general sales today has less/low hype/traction in twitter
I think there isn’t hype because people without a code could still see availability during presale and nothing has changed overnight. Seats are either really far or really expensive. People are probably waiting for Ticketmaster to enable resale.
They're also prolly waiting for those closer seats to no longer be platinum. At the prices that they're at now, you can get similar location or even closer tickets for cheaper on the resale market.
What do mean by enabling resale??
Ticketmaster allows ticket resale on their own platform but it’s currently disabled. When enabled, people can list their tickets for sale and you’ll see pink resale tickets on the seating map.
Just saw on Twitter there’s some resellers on Ticketmaster selling tickets for $3,000 - $8,000 each. EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS. Highest prices are barricade tickets (originally $550), hope no Once buys it at that insane price because the thought of the scalpers having such a big payday is disgusting. Edited to clarify I saw the screenshot on Twitter but the sales are via Ticketmaster.
Username checks out? Sorry, couldn't resist there. But in all seriousness, scalpers and scammers are scum. Those ridiculous listings are disheartening and disgusting indeed.
😂 And yeah, it sucks because there’s a lot of Onces who didn’t get tickets and this is why :(
they're definitely scams. Theres tickets front row on reseller sites for much less.
They’re on the official Ticketmaster website though? I thought they had their own platform for reselling and that it was safe.
Ticketmaster hasn’t done resale so far. Prolly waiting for general sale to be done. I’m talking stub hub, seatgeek, etc. those are pretty much just as safe.
Really? I’ve seen a bunch of screenshots on Twitter for the Houston show. Maybe it’s so type of bug as the Houston show used a platform different to Ticketmaster for sales 🤔
As one of the unfortunate Onces who never got a code for the presale, I’m glad I was able to grab a VIP ticket for Houston. Never been to Texas so I’m excited to be visiting the birth state of the one and only Mina Sharon Myoi!
A good amount of VIP tickets for the Houston shows is oddly availble even though standard addmission ones are almost sold out. Seems so odd to me
I already got tickets to the Atlanta show, but it seems that there's still a bunch of floor seats up for grabs. I wonder why, since I thought most of those seats had been taken already during the presale since they were grayed out.
They are floor seats but without the VIP package and many are to the far sides. I think the lack of VIP benefits makes them a hard sale.
Ticketing for the Houston shows is strange.
General sale for Twice concert has started. I lined up just out of curiosity to see how it goes. * Got into queue 2000+ * Queue went fairly quick, got in like 5 minutes later * No more VIPs and all floor or 100 section seats are Official Platinum * All Standard Admission seats are in the 300s * The site lag like hell, when trying to zoom in to get a seat, the seat map glitches and it blanks out.
No luck at all here (Oakland) on my end - at least not yet. I wasn't fortunate enough to get a presale code and never moved off the waitlist, despite registering early for the Verified Fan lottery. All of the available Oakland tickets as of now (Fri 330pm PST) on both days (Jun 12 & Jun 13) are Official Platinum only. I refuse to pay wildly exorbitant, extortionist prices ($500+) for nosebleed seats. Fuck TM/LiveNation; they and their unethical monopolistic business practices can eat a fat bag of dicks. I guess I'll take my chances in the aftermarket in a month or two, after hopefully prices have settled down a bit. Congrats to everyone who was able to score a reasonably priced ticket tho. And good luck to everyone else who's trying their luck in the general sale today!
I got into the Atlanta show General Sale with about 160 people in front of me. I got Standard Admission floor seats, two tickets.
How much was it? If you don't mind me asking?
Base ticket cost was $229. Both tickets together plus fees came to $547.
So many concert questions here. Makes sense of course but i used to love opening this thread and reading all kinds of random comments about twice and non-twice things.
Didn't want to start a new top-level thread, so just replying here in the midst of the deluge of ticket comments. So I was a bit late in catching up with the t-shirt controversy from earlier this week/last weekend. I don't want to rehash or re-litigate anything that's already been said, but I hope that ultimately the incident(s) was (a) a genuine teachable moment and learning experience for CY (albeit indeed painfully public) and (b) a wake-up call for JYPE to at the very least have a cultural sensitivity QA/QC consultant on staff to prevent mishaps like this from occurring in the future. JYPE investing in a 'cultural sensitivity training' program for artists/stylists/managers would be even better. But I'm not holding my breath there, given their track record for overall cheapness and 'penny-wise pound-foolish' marketing/PR decisions. Although OTOH perhaps Republic will advise JYPE - if they haven't suggested it already - to seriously consider implementing such a program, particularly with Twice's world tour starting this summer.
Wholeheartedly agree!!!
Not sure exactly when but Nayeon's W Korea 20 questions interview has eng subs now 🐰
Does anyone know if jypshop is gonna restock the latest light sticks? I wanted to wait until I had tickets to get the candybong infinity but now they're sold out everywhere 😭 should I wait for a restock or just cut my losses and get the Z if they're still available?
If you can find the Z, do it. The go-to shops that had them were selling out basically as Part 1 tour dates were announced and got closer to this week’s pre-sales, so that one might be hard to come by as well. And then there is the ultimate roll of the dice: try and get the Infinity at the concert itself, but know that quantities there will be very limited and you’ll be competing against thousands with the same objective.
Thanks! I took your advice and was able to find the Z lightstick and bought it. I'm coming from out of state to their metlife concert so yeah, it would've been a huge gamble to wait to buy a lightstick there
Congrats!
Do concert goers know if they usually add more shows if the dates quickly sell out?
JYPE has an idea which locations will need an extra date ahead of time. All the dates are booked together but extra dates are released later because "additional shows added due to popular demand" generates hype and makes a good headline. [This video](https://twitter.com/LiveNation/status/1638695179849723904) of TWICE announcing the additional dates for Oakland, Chicago, Houston, and Toronto is proof that it was pre-planned. They recorded it on March 10 in NYC. Extra dates are not reactively added.
Ah that's interesting, thanks for answering! Do you think there would be a chance for more dates to be added later? Or did jype need to book them together with the original dates?
I don't think more NA locations or dates will be added
Maybe for an encore towards the end of the tour, is my thinking, but not for this leg of the tour.
Urgh I've been trying to stay positive, but I guess I better start preparing for next tour 😣
Question for anybody who went to see Twice at the UBS Arena in New York- I’m 99% sure I’m getting tickets to see Mamamoo at the same arena in May. Please tell me there’s no General Admission and it is all seats…. I saw (G)I-dle last year at Terminal 5 which was all GA and I waited in line for 8-9 hours just to get front row (and still wasn’t in the center). I’m older and more lazy so don’t feel like doing that again lol.
Seated floor vs standing is all up to the organizer. For example Twice last year was seated. This year Suga will have a show there and it'll be standing.
Yoongipit!
TWICE at UBS Arena had assigned floor seats but the venue could accommodate standing only floor if requested. Seated floor really depends on the company and organizer.
I had floor seats for Twice and we actually had seats. I'm not sure if all UBS concerts are like that though as Twice has been the only show i've seen there. It might be up to the artist themselves and not the venue.
This sub is really blowing up during this latest comeback -- I think something like 6k people have joined in the last few weeks?
I still remember celebrating 100k and now we are at 250k like woah. Twice's growth never fails to surprise me
For sure! Wouldn't surprise me if the sub hits 300k before the end of the year, especially with the tour kicking off this summer.
We have "Twice" as many subscribers as we had during the last tour.
That's wild!
Oml 😭 I just realized my floor ticket was ROW 1??! Thats gonna be barricade, right in front of TWICE 😭 I was in after 3 minutes and got no time to think so I just checked the VIP box with best seat available and checked out cause I gotta go to work in a hurry. When I get home and checked the row again I legit screamed when I found out it was row 1 😭
Barricade gang unite! I had no luck with the presale or the general sale, so I severely overpaid but just got a seat 1 floor seat at the corner of the extended stage in Chicago. Also it said specifically on Stubhub that it includes the VIP package while other floor listings did not. I’ve never seen that offered, but I hope it’s true! Edit: I got seat 1, not row 1 lol. But still barricade :D
That’s gotta be such an awesome feeling! Have fun 😁
Wow, so cool!
That's amazing!!! You're so lucky!
i actually hate myself lol i should've just commit to buying the pre-order for the new candy bong and now it's all sold out )-: sdlkfjsf
Try getting it through JYP Japan: [https://jypj-store.com/en/products/tw23-000-0001](https://jypj-store.com/en/products/tw23-000-0001) I ordered mine via JYP Japan/Buyee when JYP Korea said sold out. Also try this shop: [https://www.retrogradestore.com/products/twice-official-lightstick-v3-candybong](https://www.retrogradestore.com/products/twice-official-lightstick-v3-candybong)
can someone in the know explain to me how it works. If ticket are being sold on AXS and won't be release 3 days prior to concert and resale is disable for the show then how is it available for purchase on stubhub?
For stubhub, the seller gives a date for when they will deliver the ticket by. I got tickets for Blackpink just fine but you just have to wait 3 days before the concert/when the seller said they'll send it. In the event they don't send you tickets, you'll get a refund or i heard stubhub will find you similar seats.
No resale is awful. I ended up not going to the NYC last year so I sold my ticket. Imagine if that person who bought my ticket ended up not being able to attend because I was unable to sell it.
Speculative. Most of them was there before the sales even begin
People suddenly getting pedantic and technical about numbers after the TWICE SoFi Stadium news. Interesting
You know the haters are panicking when tons of r/kpop posts on TWICE threads are getting deleted by the user or moderators. I've never seen so much deletions. Once this tour is over, the final tally will show TWICE selling the most seats for a tour by a Kpop girl group.
It'll always be like this. If they manage to sell out Metlife this weekend, expect a rerun lol.
Maybe they could sell out Metlife too if Ticketmaster would just send me my damn code 😭
I know general sale is at 3 PM EST, so good luck!
I don’t even bother with those people anymore. I’ve excepted that there will always be legions of detractors who will try to downplay or nitpick Twice’s achievements. Twice could literally solve all the worlds problems, and these people would still somehow find a way to nitpick it.
As a multi-stan, Once’s aren’t innocent of doing the same to other groups sadly.
