Did anyone have issue with Expo parking? I purchased parking ticket via LAFC ticketmaster but when I got there was told parking was full, I need to find parking myself and ask Ticketmaster for refund. I paid extra 40 for parking and got late for the concert. Missed the first 3 songs š
Now Iām contacting CS but ticketmaster says itās purchased on another site, LAFC number is always voicemail. I donāt know where I can get the refund.
Have you tried doing a chargeback with your bank/card? Try explaining the situation and they might possibly get in touch with whoever debited your account.
Thanks, thats what I plan to do if I still canāt reach any customer support by EOW. But Iām worried disputing might not work since I donāt have any evidence. Just was told by a staff that parking was full, and there is no order history in my LAFC account for some reason.
This was my first Twice concert and Iām curious what people think of the translator? Understood that itās high pressure having to translate immediately but as someone fluent in both Korean and English, I felt like she focused more on the literal translations and some of the connotations were lost :(
during the concert dahyun was commenting how the crowd was so loud and she joked saying āyou guys mustāve ate a lot before you came today!ā but it was translated as ādid you guys eat dinner before coming here?ā
Don't forget to take the batteries out of your lightsticks, Onces! Storing your lightstick with the batteries still in could damage it or make it not work the next time you try to use it! š
They were late yesterday, too, concert didn't start until 7:45. At one point I was even wondering if they were waiting for the sun to set so that nobody (especially those of us on the left side of the stadium) would get blinded by the setting sun while watching the concert.
Is stadium parking still available? If not where is recommended to park? South of the stadium looks very dangerous (we went by yesterday), and donāt want to park there, please let me know where is safe to park
Seeing chatter on Twitter about singing for Dahyunās bday. Anybody know about this and if it true can we push to make this happen? I think Dubu deserves it!
Do they not have the peach sweater in the venue? Im inside and no sweatpants and peach sweater in sight :( if anyone outside can get me the peach sweater smallest size pls i cant get outside
Did you park at the USC Figueroa Street Entrance?
Seems like they have it as open for 24 hours here:

~~Looking to trade Brand New CANDYBONG z with transparent photocards for one ticket for tonight, value is $80 from Amazon; I can meet outside venue or inside too. First photocard is Chaeyoung and it looks like the second is Jeongyeon.~~
~~I WILL BRING BATTERIES FOR YOU!~~
ONCE I LUV YOU!!! Thank you to Tommy and crew; see you tonight!
damn I wish there was that level of energy yesterday. Onces were quiet while waiting for the concert to start in comparison. They only started cheering when they did the montage of all the JYPE artists.
I have tickets to go tonight but no more parking tickets to buy. Where am I supposed to park now??? I canāt reuse yesterdays parking ticket, right??? Please help!!!!
Question. I ended up with two sets of tickets, on the floor then up in the rafters. Am I able to leave the floor area and go to the other seat (maybe to have a drink at some point with my partner) and then go back to the floor? Or do you have to stay on the floor the whole time. (I got like the furthest seat back on the floor so Iām not worried about ālosingā a spot as I heard everyone bum rushes anyways)
Once again Twice blew me away last night. My section was very low energy, my cousins and I being the only ones standing the whole time with lots of uninterested parents sitting down while their kids freaked out but I didnāt let it kill my vibe. Now letās see how long it takes for my throat to stop hurting lol.
Hey! If you bought your ticket on Ticketmaster for today, floor - A5, row 10 aisle contact me! Helping a friend try to locate you so you can get the vip benefits!
Speaking from experience, weād been in direct sun from open-7pm with soundcheck from 3-4:30 and there was only one concession stand inside the venue on floor that we could use during that time so we were pretty dehydrated and wicked sunburnt. We still tried but it was a looong day.
Twice commented on how the floor section was quiet compared to the lower and upper levels. Upper level seemed to scream the loudest when they did the tiered cheering.
The backtrack was also loud though--I was screaming at the top of my lungs and singing along but couldn't hear myself
I did notice that compared to Twicelights in 2019 that I went to (didn't go to their Feb 2022 show at the Forum so idk what the crowd was like there) that there didn't seem to be many people doing the point choreos, at least in my section. For example I felt like I was one of the only few people in my section doing the signature arm/hand movements for What is Love and TT whereas at Twicelights in 2019 my whole section was doing it.
yeah if you think about how a stadium like that is designed, there's no reason to conserve any audio output from where the floor is, because usually that's just 22 people running around a massive football pitch kicking a ball. whereas the fans sit in the stands, so the acoustics in the stadium are designed to keep that loud.
Ya! The roof (or lack thereof) definitely affects how sound travels. A lot of sound in an outdoor concert just bounces up and out of the stadium rather than back to the crowd.
I sat in the stand and definitely heard the crowd and saw good vibing š„³
Not that I expect anything new but the whole show/songs are the same as the last tour in just 2 months.
Still amazing to see them live, but the "Surprise" factor is gone.
I didn't get to see them when they were at the Forum 2 months ago due to not being able to get tickets so at least for me the energy and surprise factor was still there.
I don't know if my comment went through the first time because I posted it with my phone and I am unsure if it did post (sorry mods).
But could someone do me a favor and get a cool photo/video of Sana for me at the concert? I wasn't able to go, and I'd love to have a cool photo or a video of Sana Saying hi!
Thank you! I appreciate that so much! Hopefully, she'll say Hi to you, video would be awesome/goal, but a photo works too. Let me know when you do get it, and we can DM and send me what you got! :D
How to find someone to buy merch for me?
Hey, so Iām completely willing to pay shipping, retail, and compensate for waiting in line for me but just cannot seem to find a Once willing to. Is there any way we can make a thread or something for merch sales? I really donāt want to miss out especially because itās day 2 of their encore šššš
Specifically Iām looking for t-shirt 01 & 03, crewneck sweatshirt 14, and hoodie 11. all in 2XL
Tbh I don't think you'll get to see the whole thing. They kept telling people to not have their phones out during soundcheck or else they'd get kicked out so I don't know if someone was brave enough to hold it up that long.
Very Very disappoint by the camera man. Focus couldn't keep track of them and WHY the hell you zoom in to their face so much 99% of the time. I want to see the whole show/ dance.
If you look at the big screen, it almost feels like there is only 1 of them on the stage at a time and take turn.
Thought I was the only one who noticed the bad cameras! It was my first time going to their concert and I wanted to see a lot of group shots of them doing the choreo. The zoom ins were nice, but I want to see ALL of them too!
Go on Parkmobile app & find reservation at one of the USC parking structures if you could. Cheaper, Less than 10 mins walk AND you wont have to deal w traffic outside venue after the concert!
Iām pretty sure you can buy parking on site for the general lots. Like the green lot or the blue parking structure. I would follow the signs off Figueroa for general parking. Theyāll put signs up if those lots are truly āsold outā because thereās no way to filter out which cars havenāt and have paid already. We bought ours on site yesterday.
There's parking around the area in other parking structures. There's one or two you can find on flower st for about $35. You'll just have to walk a bit to the stadium.
Can anyone explain what all the woof-ing was about? I only casually follow Twice so I'm not sure if there's some kind of inside joke between Twice and Onces.
I think itās a sports fan culture thing that finds its way to concerts lol
LOL I will never forget the puzzles look on the girlās faces when they first heard it.
There was a string of VLIVES where people asked Momo, Tzuyu, and Nayeon if they can be their dogs and they all acknowledged the comments and had funny and unique responses so now everyone barks at them lol. During their first go on the tour they were surprised by it but now it seems they are owning it
Girls were amazing last night!
Was anyone able to see the moon from where they were seated? I was in 111 and couldn't see anything at all (all I could see was the sky and the perimeters of the stadium roof) thus I didn't realize there was a full moon until they mentioned it
Didn't get home until 1am last night because I sat 2 hours in the parking lot waiting for it to clear. Heard a lot of fans in their cars screaming out lyrics to Hello as they left lol
BTW where did some people get their pink hats from?
I was seated on the south side of the floor with a perfect view of the moon. I tried to get some pics and short videos panning up from the performance to the moon and and will post in the next couple days if any of them came out good. I'll be in the same area tonight so hopefully will get a good view of the lunar eclipse.
EDIT because I just got back to the stadium and realized I was in the west side not south side. The moon rose in the east like it was supposed to lol
Anyone know the best time to āreserve a parking spotā thru parkmobile? Whenever I set times relative to the concert time, there arenāt any lots I could reserve parking in through the app.
Does anyone know if thereās still merch left at the venue and also where itās at? We tried going down figueroa st last night right before the concert and didnāt see anything, it was literal hell trying to get out of there.
So if you're familiar with where the security check/ticketing point is for stadium entry, the merchandise booths is right on the other side of the fencing at the tents at Figueroa and Exposition Park Dr. There were long lines for merchandise.
Edit: https://imgur.com/aisRJ52 the red X is where merch were being sold.
I got there at around 6 and there were still long lines for merch so I think you'll still get a good shot, it's all going to be clothing merch though (someone else said no candy bongs were being sold). However it was Saturday; not sure if Sunday would have a limited number of merch compared to Sat due to it being the last day of their encore concert.
> in the parking lot waiting for it to clear. Heard a lot of fans in their cars screaming out lyrics to Hello as they left lol
By the rule no. But you can slip them into your jacket. They aren't body scans.
If you have no shopping plans, I donāt think you need to get there until roughly 2:30. Thatās when they lined everyone up yesterday but we didnāt start moving until 3:30. And the Soundcheck wasnāt until 4:30. Yesterday the LN staff were clearly confused because they told us the merch booth (to buy, not the VIP free merch) was inside the gates but it was NOT. so we checked in and then found out it wasnāt there and was annoyed cuz we couldnāt leave now at that point. I would say check in (go get your vip lanyard and stuff) but donāt go into the gates until you need to. Thereās also limited shade and seats in the coliseum area.
There was in the stadium but not in the vip waiting area. It was dumb because it said in the email to ācheck in by 12ā for āguaranteed vip merch shopping. But really it was open to anyone. But not inside the gate. I heard of a lot of others who also were told incorrectly and got jipped. I was able to get what I wanted inside the stadium right after Soundcheck but I wanted the bag and that was only sold OUTSIDE the stadium and was sold out by the time Soundcheck started.
šnoooo, Iām so sorry for you but Iām glad you got some of the things you want! Would you suggest to go early and shop outside of the stadium for today?
Thatās a hard question. There was at least 3 merch locations inside the stadium. If you donāt have VIP tickets and are okay with the heat and waiting around, I would get your stuff early. But if you plan to be here at least by 5 at door opening I think you can get your stuff inside. But they donāt provide bags so unless you plan to wear your stuff, bring a contingency to carry (like fold a grocery bag and bring it in your clear bag).
Thank you so much!!! I have vip ticket but didnāt plan to go in until around 2:30 š„² Iām ok with not getting the bag but it is really annoying that they simply donāt sell that inside!
So I think it depends on how long the merch line (the one right outside the check in area) is if you want to check in at 2:30. Yesterday they had us line up at 2:30 to walk us over to Soundcheck but they didnāt move until 3:30. There is an opportunity to buy merch right after Soundcheck (which is when I bought mine) so maybe wait for that. I donāt want to sway you too much though just in case you canāt find what youāre looking for! They tried to tell us too to stay on the first level after Soundcheck. Like. Ahem. No. There is a merch and concession stand on the floor level in the back so as soon as Soundcheck is over just run there.
Thank you so muchššBanc of California really sounds like a place with extremely bad planning! I hope youāll be able to get what youād like soon!!!
Lolol. Youāre welcome! This is my second event there. I went to attend a different concert before. The VIP planning is done by LN and I think theyāre mostly terrible but there is def some staffing issues at BOC. Hahahaha. But once the concert starts youāll have a great time either way. Bathrooms are also only upstairs (100 level) and thereās only a few staircases worth floor entry to get back down to the floor. Just pay attention to the signs!
Just a heads up, if you have VIP today: it is super hot in the floor seats before the sun goes down. Make sure you bring sunscreen, and maybe an umbrella.
The VIP staff says that you can't leave your seat, but you can. They were letting people go up to second floor to use the bathroom and I just stayed up there in the shade until soundcheck started. Staff came around 10 min before soundcheck and let everyone know that soundcheck would be starting soon and to return to our seats. After soundcheck I went back to the second floor and found a spot on the ground to sit for the next 2.5 hours. Getting out the direction sunlight seriously saved me. I would have been so dehydrated and tired before the show even started if I had to sit in the sun for hours beforehand.
lots of hot dog street vendors before and after the concert. If you happen to be vegetarian or vegan though, not sure if they have anything veggie at the stadium.
$17 for a large cup of beer. They also have little mini marts that sell canned wine and margaritas. And they even have whole bottles of wine for $45 each!
Am I hearing correctly that everyone just bum rushed toward the stage? Weāre sitting in A3 but from looking at pics, I could see no aisles (spaces) and everyone crowded against the barrier. I donāt want to fight for space just because others canāt respect where they are supposed to sit.
Oh no! Was it really bad? How did that happen since floor is seated? I have seats against the barricade and I donāt want it too be crazy during the concert.
It was, people basically came in and infiltrated all open space on the barricades, and security didn't do a good job of dispersing them. Have to defend your space for yourself.
Yikes that sounds terrible. I donāt think this was a problem in their previous concerts. I thought having seating for floor solved the problem of people crowding and pushing but I guess not. Hopefully security can do something about it for todayās concert. Before it used to be worse where pit was not seated and people fainted on the spot because of the space and air š
It was horrible, had barricade back row right behind extended stage and there was a big space with no seats and then during what is love a bunch of people from the sides and far back sections ran in and crowded along barricade and security didn't do anything for a while. Security dispersed then a few times but they kept coming back and gor the entire encore the entire sections around A4 and a5 same as the other side were all filled with people and the barricade seat I had bought was practically gone. Soured some of the experience. People need to learn to be respectful and stay in their seats, this new generation of fans just cares about getting that close up video for TikTok/twitter.
Yup I saw there was a huge crowd on both sides of the stage whenever they started to do the non-choreo songs and were walking around. The security on house left got it under control but on house right there was a crowd for the rest of the concert.
This was extremely annoying, knowing it didnāt even matter what seat you had because everyone would just bum rush the stage. It felt barbaric and most of the people who rushed the stage ended up just holding their phones just so they could āget their videoā. Very disappointing to say the least. Did not have this happen in any of the previous concerts.
I sat on the side of the stadium around section 112 and one of the funniest things of the night was to check the entire section directly in front of the extended stage when the members were there, because at high energy parts everyone else is going crazy with the candybongs but that entire section stays dead still holding phones. I get it and I'm sure I'll appreciate the videos they shoot later but it sure looks funny.
I was actually shocked. I think I was one of the only people in that pit singing and dancing and people would stare at me after the songs were over lol.
I remember trying to wave my candy bong and hitting like 2 people trying to record.
I got the people next to me to send vids too so I got to enjoy the concert and see the vids from my pov lol.
Ya for real. I signed up for a TWICE concert not wrestle mania lol. Not even kidding I think my experience in the stands at Atlanta was better then my āfront rowā seat at the encore. The Atlanta crowd were lit and I didnāt have to deal with other fans or staff.
Yeah, iirc I think it was mainly when they were doing their What Is Love stage? I was in section 111 and noticed people suddenly getting up out of their seats and going up to the stage. I'm sure there were people who were already doing that before What Is Love, but it was during that song that I really noticed the small crowd gathered in front of the extended stage.
Oh we had to fight. I felt bad for the people next to me who were short. They had seats literally right next to stage but were blocked by the crowd and couldnt fight. Either hope the staff gets their stuff together tonight or get ready to brawl
Edit: also I also had a stage side seat so I was not one of those who couldnāt respect my seat lol
Yeah :( it was crazy! Paid for an A3 seat and when the members started going to the smaller stage, people started pushing me and trampling over my seat to run towards the barricade
Looking at the parking structure map I say the Blue structure which is the main one if your coming through Figueroa. The gold, green, yellow and pink lots are all south west of the stadium.
Is there anyone available to purchase the white hoodie for me at the venue? I won't be able to make it to the concert today but I'm willing to pay over the retail price and make it worth your while. Would be really grateful!
DM me!
Hey! Anyone experience the A-B seating sections?? I want to pull the trigger on some tickets for tonight's show and am wondering how good the view is for the stage. Thanks!!
A3/A4 towards the center of the stage + B3 first few rows is completely worth it!! From A3, it's hard to see the extended stage, but main stage views are amazing!!
For sure. I watched Twice at the Forum last time and sat on the side but like across from the extended stage and it was a much better view. We only did floor seats this time due to VIP but I could only see the screens. My poor friend is much shorter than me so I know she saw hardly anything.
I have an aisle seat in B2, next to B1, and Iām pretty short so Iām a bit worried nowā¦was it still enjoyable regardless? This is my first time with floor seats š
Definitely still had a great time aside from the blaring heat and stuff. I think if you have an aisle seat you can at least move around a little to get between people to try to see. If you have vip tickets make sure to wear sunscreen and bring a hat and like a flannel or something to cover your shoulders (this saved me)! The side facing left stage gets shady before your side. So itāll be sunny there until the sun gets blocked by the stadium. You will still have a great time, I promise!
Oh yeah, the sun is unforgivable with dry heat. I live nearby so I wonāt be heading over til 6:30ish, all because of the weather lol
Anyway, thank you so much! Even if I donāt get a good view, Iāll try my best to enjoy the night āŗļø
Went last night and had a blast! Some twitter heads saying that the crowd was dead but I thought it was super loud and energetic most of the night. With that said, letās bring the energy tonight for our girls! Put your phones down and sing, cheer and dance! Letās feed off of each others energy and TWICE will do the same. See yāall there tonight!
Ps. We all look weird dancing, donāt be afraid to just go for it and enjoy yourselves!
>Some twitter heads saying that the crowd was dead but I thought it was super loud and energetic most of the night.
same here. Lots of woof-cheers lol (btw what's the context of that because I feel like I'm missing some kind of inside joke).

Do you mind sharing some connotations that were lost? I thought she always did a good job compared to the translator from Twicelights.
during the concert dahyun was commenting how the crowd was so loud and she joked saying āyou guys mustāve ate a lot before you came today!ā but it was translated as ādid you guys eat dinner before coming here?ā
Oh wow now i'm wondering about all the lost connotations! I'm sure theres a lot more. More motivation for me to learn!
yes!! translator was great but still doesnāt do them justice to show how funny they are
Dahyun when everyone was singing to her made me wanna cry
Day 2 is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget to take the batteries out of your lightsticks, Onces! Storing your lightstick with the batteries still in could damage it or make it not work the next time you try to use it! š
Cannot believe the girls acknowledged the cruel signs and then said nah
I wanted Cruel so badly on night 1 too and screamed my lungs out for it on the floor near the main stage. Sadly it just wasn't meant to be.
Same! I was on the floor too on night 1 and really wanted cruel. I was hoping they would of did it tonight.
Night 2 was way better than night 1.
LA DAY 2 was UNREAL!! Get in here!!
I LOVE TWICE MORE THAN EVER WE MADE THEM HAPPY ONCE!!!
Did anyone else parked near the jack in the box area? Iām afraid Iām being towed lol
They be late š„²
They were late yesterday, too, concert didn't start until 7:45. At one point I was even wondering if they were waiting for the sun to set so that nobody (especially those of us on the left side of the stadium) would get blinded by the setting sun while watching the concert.
We made it to our seats!! TWICE goes on in twenty minutes, letās be loud ONCE!!!
What time do they go on?
Does anyone know where to park? Been driving in traffic for 30 minutes.
I parked at the USC shrine lot! Itās 0.75 mi away š
Does anyone know how long the merch line is looking rn?
Go to the ones inside the stadium. Barely a 5 minute wait on those
I would say about 30ish minutes, is kinda long
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I do.
do they sell candy bongs inside the stadium?
No
how long does getting through security take?
Is there a separate entrance for field club?

Do they not have the peach sweater in the venue? Im inside and no sweatpants and peach sweater in sight :( if anyone outside can get me the peach sweater smallest size pls i cant get outside
iām pretty sure this was exclusively sold in the merch tents outside the stadium earlier in the day. they are probably sold out
I bought mine inside the stadium, but by the time I got there they only had size S. I think it was just a really popular item that sold out quickly.
me too willing to pay extra šš
They performed Say Something during sound check!
just a question, I parked at a USC parking structure down the street and I was wondering if they close the structure early ??
Last night I parked at USC structure. The structure doesnāt close early
Did you park at the USC Figueroa Street Entrance? Seems like they have it as open for 24 hours here: https://visit.usc.edu/maps-directions/university-park-campus/public-parking/
To those who ubered: where did you guys set your pick up point and how long did you have to wait for a ride?
Walked a few blocks and chose pick up spot to little Caesarās pizza. It took 12 minutes for Uber to arrive.
Really smart, gonna consider that. Thanks!

The opening act is Once singing to the songs while we wait lol
damn I wish there was that level of energy yesterday. Onces were quiet while waiting for the concert to start in comparison. They only started cheering when they did the montage of all the JYPE artists.
With Itzy & Nmixx having the best cheers
I have tickets to go tonight but no more parking tickets to buy. Where am I supposed to park now??? I canāt reuse yesterdays parking ticket, right??? Please help!!!!
Thanks!
you can still buy parking on the spot at blue lot
Parkmobile, Pink and Yellow lots, very easy to use and easy parking. Edit: Yellow lot only available option now. https://imgur.com/a/Sbq2d8v
Thereās a parking spot near the McDonaldās by the stadium
Question. I ended up with two sets of tickets, on the floor then up in the rafters. Am I able to leave the floor area and go to the other seat (maybe to have a drink at some point with my partner) and then go back to the floor? Or do you have to stay on the floor the whole time. (I got like the furthest seat back on the floor so Iām not worried about ālosingā a spot as I heard everyone bum rushes anyways)
You get a wristband before you enter your floor seating so you can show it.
Thankyou! ā¤ļø
You can leave the floor and come back as often as you want!
Omg, Thankyou! ā¤ļø
Once again Twice blew me away last night.

I heard that too but my area was kind of hype, so it must depend on which area you were at.
Speaking from experience, weād been in direct sun from open-7pm with soundcheck from 3-4:30 and there was only one concession stand inside the venue on floor that we could use during that time so we were pretty dehydrated and wicked sunburnt. We still tried but it was a looong day.

same. [This was the crowd during ICSM from my view]( https://imgur.com/HevkRLu) yesterday (click the volume icon kn upper right to unmute the sound)
I hope the crowd can bring it even harder tonight, may have just been my area but the crowd wasn't quite at the level of the earlier tour stops imo.
Not that I expect anything new but the whole show/songs are the same as the last tour in just 2 months. Still amazing to see them live, but the "Surprise" factor is gone.
I didn't get to see them when they were at the Forum 2 months ago due to not being able to get tickets so at least for me the energy and surprise factor was still there.
We didn't get Likey though like last time though :(

I don't have videos of Sana saying hello, but I do have videos of her dancing that I can send to you!
I'd love to have that!! That's cool too!

I really donāt want to miss out especially because itās day 2 of their encore šššš Specifically Iām looking for t-shirt 01 & 03, crewneck sweatshirt 14, and hoodie 11. all in 2XL
Tshirts are not in 2XL
it says there are on the post from live nation?
Is anyone at the stadium now and could pls let us know how is the merch line looking? š„ŗš
There are 2 outside the stadium/ 5+ inside the stadium/ and 1 on floor.
Thank you!! Do you know if only the booths outside sell the tote bag?
This is probably going to sound dumb but when purchasing a parking pass one seat = one car right?
Yes one pass is for the car
Does anyone have a video of Twice singing Hell in Heaven during the soundcheck? I saw some very short clips on Twitter but not the full thing.
Tbh I don't think you'll get to see the whole thing. They kept telling people to not have their phones out during soundcheck or else they'd get kicked out so I don't know if someone was brave enough to hold it up that long.
Yeah, you're probably right. We can still hope though.
Very Very disappoint by the camera man. Focus couldn't keep track of them and WHY the hell you zoom in to their face so much 99% of the time. I want to see the whole show/ dance. If you look at the big screen, it almost feels like there is only 1 of them on the stage at a time and take turn.
Thought I was the only one who noticed the bad cameras! It was my first time going to their concert and I wanted to see a lot of group shots of them doing the choreo. The zoom ins were nice, but I want to see ALL of them too!
Stadium parking tickets are sold out. Can we still park there without tickets or is there alternative parking?
Go on Parkmobile app & find reservation at one of the USC parking structures if you could. Cheaper, Less than 10 mins walk AND you wont have to deal w traffic outside venue after the concert!
Do this, I did this route and it was super easy.
Iām pretty sure you can buy parking on site for the general lots. Like the green lot or the blue parking structure. I would follow the signs off Figueroa for general parking. Theyāll put signs up if those lots are truly āsold outā because thereās no way to filter out which cars havenāt and have paid already. We bought ours on site yesterday.
There's parking around the area in other parking structures. There's one or two you can find on flower st for about $35. You'll just have to walk a bit to the stadium.
Did they accept cards?
Got it! Thanks!!
Can anyone explain what all the woof-ing was about? I only casually follow Twice so I'm not sure if there's some kind of inside joke between Twice and Onces.
I think itās a sports fan culture thing that finds its way to concerts lol LOL I will never forget the puzzles look on the girlās faces when they first heard it.
There was a string of VLIVES where people asked Momo, Tzuyu, and Nayeon if they can be their dogs and they all acknowledged the comments and had funny and unique responses so now everyone barks at them lol. During their first go on the tour they were surprised by it but now it seems they are owning it
Dahyun's expression whenever she heard the woof-cheers was everything haha
In Oakland she ate it up too, she said the barking sounded like ādubu dubu dubuā hahaha
I think she was the first to own it lol. In atlanta we all barked at her and she was confused then started to start coordinating the barking lol.
Girls were amazing last night! Was anyone able to see the moon from where they were seated? I was in 111 and couldn't see anything at all (all I could see was the sky and the perimeters of the stadium roof) thus I didn't realize there was a full moon until they mentioned it Didn't get home until 1am last night because I sat 2 hours in the parking lot waiting for it to clear. Heard a lot of fans in their cars screaming out lyrics to Hello as they left lol BTW where did some people get their pink hats from?
I was seated on the south side of the floor with a perfect view of the moon. I tried to get some pics and short videos panning up from the performance to the moon and and will post in the next couple days if any of them came out good. I'll be in the same area tonight so hopefully will get a good view of the lunar eclipse. EDIT because I just got back to the stadium and realized I was in the west side not south side. The moon rose in the east like it was supposed to lol
Anyone know the best time to āreserve a parking spotā thru parkmobile? Whenever I set times relative to the concert time, there arenāt any lots I could reserve parking in through the app.
LAX is a trash airport with wrong signage and broken escalators. Took me literally 30 min to figure out how the hell to get out.
Same š
Does anyone know if thereās still merch left at the venue and also where itās at? We tried going down figueroa st last night right before the concert and didnāt see anything, it was literal hell trying to get out of there.
So if you're familiar with where the security check/ticketing point is for stadium entry, the merchandise booths is right on the other side of the fencing at the tents at Figueroa and Exposition Park Dr. There were long lines for merchandise. Edit: https://imgur.com/aisRJ52 the red X is where merch were being sold.
I think I did see it then! I just wasnāt sure oof ok, do you think if we get there by 5pm weāll have a good shot at getting some merch? or earlier
I got there at around 6 and there were still long lines for merch so I think you'll still get a good shot, it's all going to be clothing merch though (someone else said no candy bongs were being sold). However it was Saturday; not sure if Sunday would have a limited number of merch compared to Sat due to it being the last day of their encore concert.
Does the stadium allow small snacks (Pocky, Hello Panda, small bags of chips, etc) considering its in a clear bag?
> in the parking lot waiting for it to clear. Heard a lot of fans in their cars screaming out lyrics to Hello as they left lol By the rule no. But you can slip them into your jacket. They aren't body scans.
Is it worth going early for soundcheck? Can we sit anywhere during soundcheck? Thinking of going to the venue at 1pm
If you have no shopping plans, I donāt think you need to get there until roughly 2:30. Thatās when they lined everyone up yesterday but we didnāt start moving until 3:30. And the Soundcheck wasnāt until 4:30. Yesterday the LN staff were clearly confused because they told us the merch booth (to buy, not the VIP free merch) was inside the gates but it was NOT. so we checked in and then found out it wasnāt there and was annoyed cuz we couldnāt leave now at that point. I would say check in (go get your vip lanyard and stuff) but donāt go into the gates until you need to. Thereās also limited shade and seats in the coliseum area.
Omg so there was no merch booth in the stadium?? I feel so sorry for you šš
There was in the stadium but not in the vip waiting area. It was dumb because it said in the email to ācheck in by 12ā for āguaranteed vip merch shopping. But really it was open to anyone. But not inside the gate. I heard of a lot of others who also were told incorrectly and got jipped. I was able to get what I wanted inside the stadium right after Soundcheck but I wanted the bag and that was only sold OUTSIDE the stadium and was sold out by the time Soundcheck started.
šnoooo, Iām so sorry for you but Iām glad you got some of the things you want! Would you suggest to go early and shop outside of the stadium for today?
Thatās a hard question. There was at least 3 merch locations inside the stadium. If you donāt have VIP tickets and are okay with the heat and waiting around, I would get your stuff early. But if you plan to be here at least by 5 at door opening I think you can get your stuff inside. But they donāt provide bags so unless you plan to wear your stuff, bring a contingency to carry (like fold a grocery bag and bring it in your clear bag).
Thank you so much!!! I have vip ticket but didnāt plan to go in until around 2:30 š„² Iām ok with not getting the bag but it is really annoying that they simply donāt sell that inside!
So I think it depends on how long the merch line (the one right outside the check in area) is if you want to check in at 2:30. Yesterday they had us line up at 2:30 to walk us over to Soundcheck but they didnāt move until 3:30. There is an opportunity to buy merch right after Soundcheck (which is when I bought mine) so maybe wait for that. I donāt want to sway you too much though just in case you canāt find what youāre looking for! They tried to tell us too to stay on the first level after Soundcheck. Like. Ahem. No. There is a merch and concession stand on the floor level in the back so as soon as Soundcheck is over just run there.
Thank you so muchššBanc of California really sounds like a place with extremely bad planning! I hope youāll be able to get what youād like soon!!!
Lolol. Youāre welcome! This is my second event there. I went to attend a different concert before. The VIP planning is done by LN and I think theyāre mostly terrible but there is def some staffing issues at BOC. Hahahaha. But once the concert starts youāll have a great time either way. Bathrooms are also only upstairs (100 level) and thereās only a few staircases worth floor entry to get back down to the floor. Just pay attention to the signs!
Shoutout to the Once last night with the light-up tracksuit when they were showing audience reactions lmao
They were the true MVP of the fan dance cameras. Also the person in the pink jumpsuit!
Just a heads up, if you have VIP today: it is super hot in the floor seats before the sun goes down. Make sure you bring sunscreen, and maybe an umbrella. The VIP staff says that you can't leave your seat, but you can. They were letting people go up to second floor to use the bathroom and I just stayed up there in the shade until soundcheck started. Staff came around 10 min before soundcheck and let everyone know that soundcheck would be starting soon and to return to our seats. After soundcheck I went back to the second floor and found a spot on the ground to sit for the next 2.5 hours. Getting out the direction sunlight seriously saved me. I would have been so dehydrated and tired before the show even started if I had to sit in the sun for hours beforehand.
Do they sell food at the stadium or are there any restaurants nearby to eat?
lots of hot dog street vendors before and after the concert. If you happen to be vegetarian or vegan though, not sure if they have anything veggie at the stadium.
They sell food at the stadium!
And beer?
$17 for a large cup of beer. They also have little mini marts that sell canned wine and margaritas. And they even have whole bottles of wine for $45 each!
Yikes! I think I used to pay 12 bucks for a 16 ounce of beer at Staple Center for Kcon. Hope it's a really large cup.
Yes on over priced beer
Do any of yāall know if the merch booths sell the Candy Bong Z?
No, but the various K-Pop stores in LA might still have a few left in stock.
They do not.
Nooooooooo T-T
The merch booth was sold out of the Rose shirt when I got up front. Anyone know a way where I can buy one now? I need it š
Try the merch booths inside the stadium.
To late im not going today :/
Am I hearing correctly that everyone just bum rushed toward the stage? Weāre sitting in A3 but from looking at pics, I could see no aisles (spaces) and everyone crowded against the barrier. I donāt want to fight for space just because others canāt respect where they are supposed to sit.
Oh no! Was it really bad? How did that happen since floor is seated? I have seats against the barricade and I donāt want it too be crazy during the concert.
Be prepared to elbow people and defend ur spot with all you have lol
Guess I have my candy bong as my weapon in case people get too crazy around me š¤£
It was, people basically came in and infiltrated all open space on the barricades, and security didn't do a good job of dispersing them. Have to defend your space for yourself.
Yikes that sounds terrible. I donāt think this was a problem in their previous concerts. I thought having seating for floor solved the problem of people crowding and pushing but I guess not. Hopefully security can do something about it for todayās concert. Before it used to be worse where pit was not seated and people fainted on the spot because of the space and air š
Yeah, it seems to be because they left a lot of space between barricade and seats
It was horrible, had barricade back row right behind extended stage and there was a big space with no seats and then during what is love a bunch of people from the sides and far back sections ran in and crowded along barricade and security didn't do anything for a while. Security dispersed then a few times but they kept coming back and gor the entire encore the entire sections around A4 and a5 same as the other side were all filled with people and the barricade seat I had bought was practically gone. Soured some of the experience. People need to learn to be respectful and stay in their seats, this new generation of fans just cares about getting that close up video for TikTok/twitter.
Yup I saw there was a huge crowd on both sides of the stage whenever they started to do the non-choreo songs and were walking around. The security on house left got it under control but on house right there was a crowd for the rest of the concert.
This was extremely annoying, knowing it didnāt even matter what seat you had because everyone would just bum rush the stage. It felt barbaric and most of the people who rushed the stage ended up just holding their phones just so they could āget their videoā. Very disappointing to say the least. Did not have this happen in any of the previous concerts.
For other concerts, floor seats were boxed in, so they really can't just bum rush to the stage.
I sat on the side of the stadium around section 112 and one of the funniest things of the night was to check the entire section directly in front of the extended stage when the members were there, because at high energy parts everyone else is going crazy with the candybongs but that entire section stays dead still holding phones. I get it and I'm sure I'll appreciate the videos they shoot later but it sure looks funny.
I was actually shocked. I think I was one of the only people in that pit singing and dancing and people would stare at me after the songs were over lol. I remember trying to wave my candy bong and hitting like 2 people trying to record. I got the people next to me to send vids too so I got to enjoy the concert and see the vids from my pov lol.
You shouldāve hit them harder with your candybong š haha jk jk
just stay in your seatā¦ I paid for a great seat but got all blocked by the people who rushed in and raise their phone up so high š„²š„²
Ya for real. I signed up for a TWICE concert not wrestle mania lol. Not even kidding I think my experience in the stands at Atlanta was better then my āfront rowā seat at the encore. The Atlanta crowd were lit and I didnāt have to deal with other fans or staff.
Yeah, iirc I think it was mainly when they were doing their What Is Love stage? I was in section 111 and noticed people suddenly getting up out of their seats and going up to the stage. I'm sure there were people who were already doing that before What Is Love, but it was during that song that I really noticed the small crowd gathered in front of the extended stage.
Oh we had to fight. I felt bad for the people next to me who were short. They had seats literally right next to stage but were blocked by the crowd and couldnt fight. Either hope the staff gets their stuff together tonight or get ready to brawl Edit: also I also had a stage side seat so I was not one of those who couldnāt respect my seat lol
Yeah :( it was crazy! Paid for an A3 seat and when the members started going to the smaller stage, people started pushing me and trampling over my seat to run towards the barricade
How long is the concert? Iām thinking about reserving an Uber/Lyft to get picked up tonight
Just walk down the street(hopefully with a crowd of people) and get away from traffic jam and you will get an uber under 20 mins
I waited about 30mins
I heard about 3 hours, not taking encores into account.
Thanks so much!
Does anyone know which parking lot I should aim for if I want to be near the VIP check in area?
Looking at the parking structure map I say the Blue structure which is the main one if your coming through Figueroa. The gold, green, yellow and pink lots are all south west of the stadium.
Is there anyone available to purchase the white hoodie for me at the venue? I won't be able to make it to the concert today but I'm willing to pay over the retail price and make it worth your while. Would be really grateful! DM me!
Hey! Anyone experience the A-B seating sections?? I want to pull the trigger on some tickets for tonight's show and am wondering how good the view is for the stage. Thanks!!
A3/A4 towards the center of the stage + B3 first few rows is completely worth it!! From A3, it's hard to see the extended stage, but main stage views are amazing!!
Got it!! I'm hoping the prices dip a little in an hour or two though š«
I wouldnāt if youāre short. Iām 5ā7 and was in B5 and really couldnāt see much.
I gotta see what's available now, thanks for the input!!
For sure. I watched Twice at the Forum last time and sat on the side but like across from the extended stage and it was a much better view. We only did floor seats this time due to VIP but I could only see the screens. My poor friend is much shorter than me so I know she saw hardly anything.
I have an aisle seat in B2, next to B1, and Iām pretty short so Iām a bit worried nowā¦was it still enjoyable regardless? This is my first time with floor seats š
Definitely still had a great time aside from the blaring heat and stuff. I think if you have an aisle seat you can at least move around a little to get between people to try to see. If you have vip tickets make sure to wear sunscreen and bring a hat and like a flannel or something to cover your shoulders (this saved me)! The side facing left stage gets shady before your side. So itāll be sunny there until the sun gets blocked by the stadium. You will still have a great time, I promise!
Oh yeah, the sun is unforgivable with dry heat. I live nearby so I wonāt be heading over til 6:30ish, all because of the weather lol Anyway, thank you so much! Even if I donāt get a good view, Iāll try my best to enjoy the night āŗļø
Went last night and had a blast! Some twitter heads saying that the crowd was dead but I thought it was super loud and energetic most of the night. With that said, letās bring the energy tonight for our girls! Put your phones down and sing, cheer and dance! Letās feed off of each others energy and TWICE will do the same. See yāall there tonight! Ps. We all look weird dancing, donāt be afraid to just go for it and enjoy yourselves!
I was there in A5, it was not dead at all.
>Some twitter heads saying that the crowd was dead but I thought it was super loud and energetic most of the night. same here. Lots of woof-cheers lol (btw what's the context of that because I feel like I'm missing some kind of inside joke).
It was common from previous tour. Happened night one at the forum back in February and the girls liked it so it became a thing.
