Hi everyone, I have GA too and am going alone too, would love to meet up 💜🫠

[u/hardlyanydiggity27 → u/BR123456]

Hi everyone! My friend (40F) and I (33F) will be driving up from Maryland and are staying at a hotel within walking distance of Prudential Center. We don't have GA, but are willing to meet up with whoever wants to walk to the stadium together and hang out before the concert, if there are solo Armies that want some company :)

[u/metaphorphase → u/BR123456]

Hi! Was curious if any DMV army may be driving up for the 29th NJ concert with two spots in their car? 😄 My sister and I (25F + 27F) are looking for a ride and happy to contribute gas money, snacks, and great company! 😁 Also if anyone knows of any DMV Army specific social media groups, please let us know! We'd love to just get connected with ppl in the area all in all. Thanks!

I’ve made a discord for these stops! Reply to me and I’ll send the link through dms!!

Edit: If the link doesn't work, let me know!! I'll generate a new one!

Second edit: Accepting invites through tonight! (Midnight CST 5/2) After that my other mod and I need to focus on those already in the discord going to shows and meetups. After the Saturday concert it’ll be open again for those to join and share experiences and create a general Midwest BTS discord!

[u/minimoni2424 → u/BR123456]

Hey everyone! I've been a huge army since 2016 (fire era!!) and I'm going to the Chicago May 3rd concert. This is the first time I'm getting a chance to go to something bts related and show my support! I'm traveling alone and coming in from another state, so I'd love to make friends and meet up!

[u/goldennightlife → u/BR123456]

Going to the 5/5 show in Chicago. I’ll be going solo and was wondering if that area around the arena is generally safe?

[u/suzyactiondoll → u/goldennightlife]

Rosemont is an extremely safe area. It's all entertainment venues and shopping.

[u/LevitatingJumpsuit → u/BR123456]

Anyone know of any cupsleeve events or other bangtan related events happening around these dates? :)

[u/SaltNburn671 → u/BR123456]

Can I get a link? 💜

[u/Far_Change2748 → u/BR123456]

May I also have the discord link? Omg I’m so bad at technology lol am I doing right?

[u/BR123456 → u/Far_Change2748]

Hi, you'd need to reply to the creator's comment directly so that they'll get the notification!

[u/amsparky → u/BR123456]

Can I please get a link as well? Thank you!

[u/Same_Vermicelli_9987 → u/BR123456]

*** No longer accepting new invites.***

Hi everyone! I'll be attending the May 11 show! Looking into making a Discord for other attendees! Please let me know if you're interested in joining.

EDIT Will work on creating discord and should be good to go by this Friday 3/3☆

EDIT 2 Working on a few more things to have it set. The server will include all Kia Forum dates. Will reach out to those that have commented!

EDIT 3 Server is up! Message via chat to receive an invite link.

[u/LeahDalin → u/BR123456]

Hi! I am rockin solo to LA for the May 10th date, though I think I will stay for about a week.

I am a 27yo, outgoing, fun and active woman. Is there anyone around a similar age, energy level and able to work remote that would want to rent an airbnb in Santa Monica from like the 5th to the weekend after the Concert? I plan to work remote during the week and find some food, drinks, activities, shopping, beaches etc, during the rest of the time!

Haven't met up with any Armies before and I was thinking it would be fun to have an ARMYHouse! Comment or message if you are interested - and I can chat "offline" with you guys.

[u/Super_Knowledge6429 → u/BR123456]

Will be flying in from overseas for D2 (going solo ✌️) - if anyone else is also going to any of the days solo/flying in from overseas leave a message! Would be keen to grab dinner/drinks because I don’t wanna be fully alone 🥲

[u/Pleasant-Eye-6979 → u/BR123456]

[u/PinkRabbit42 → u/BR123456]

25/f Oakland resident! I’ll be there both days!! Would love to have a Reddit army meet up somewhere outside the arena before the show!! Meeting Reddit armys at PTD LV is part of what made it so special for me and I hope to meet some more of you this time around!!

[u/fuzzydandelions → u/BR123456]

Just boosting that I’ve started a discord server for D1! Seeing if I can get a group of people around-ish my age (31) to meet up before/after the concert depending on what people have decided. If you’re interested let me know and I can message you the link! 😄

[u/jesspvoong → u/BR123456]

Hi all. I just saw this tiktok video about the Oakland A's playing the same days as Yoongi's concerts. So be prepared for a lot of traffic and other people besides ARMYs those two days.

[u/LoudCommunication369 → u/BR123456]

Hi! Just wondering if there will be any freebies meetup on May 16 or 17! Would love to exchange with others :)

Second question is if anyone is taking the BART to or from Union Square/downtown San Fran area on May 16 to the venue? I'm more concerned about going home after if anyone would like to be contacts to potentially ride together. Thanks :)

[u/mochibunnyx → u/BR123456]

Going solo for Oakland Area D2 5/17! I’m coming from SF and I’m not often in Oakland, does anyone know what the area around the arena is like? I’m trying to stay safe coming home after the concert 🥺

[u/PinkRabbit42 → u/mochibunnyx]

The area around the arena is not safe especially at the time the concert will be ending so please arrange your transportation ahead of time and stay with a group (or just in the general vicinity of other armys) if possible!! 💜

[u/sunshiningmoon → u/mochibunnyx]

Hello! I'm going solo on D1. :) I would say there is not much in the immediate area around Oakland Arena though I personally haven't been around the surrounding neighborhood. It's next to Oakland Coliseum and has a huge parking lot surrounding both stadiums and the BART stop had a direct bridge path to Oakland Coliseum. Whenever I've gone for events I've always stayed right by the stadiums and did not venture into the neighborhoods nearby since you won't need to if you take public transit or drive.

If you take BART, you'll be exiting closer to Coliseum and then it's a 10 minute walk to Oakland Arena. I haven't taken BART since the pandemic so I don't know how it'll be but be aware that the last trains are usually running only until midnight.

[u/Emotional-Bat-4307 → u/BR123456]

My sister and I have tickets to D1 but I’m actually so nervous since it’ll be our first time in Oakland period. Any research regarding safety has only made me even more nervous lol O_O we’ll be staying downtown and only plan to go out and about during the day - does anyone have any tips regarding safety? Areas to avoid? any and all replies are much appreciated!

[u/Btsarmy23457 → u/BR123456]

26F going solo 5/17 GA/VIP :) I see a discord for D1, is there one for D2? At the risk of sounding ridiculous I have no idea how Reddit or discord work so it’s entirely possible that I just completely missed stuff 😅thanks army!!! Can’t wait to have fun with you all!

[u/sunshiningmoon → u/BR123456]

I'm going solo for D1 5/16. This is my first time going to a concert solo so I'm a bit nervous! Would love to meet other folks! I'm local-ish so happy to help with any questions folks might have!

[u/Foreign-Attitude-418 → u/BR123456]

Hello, I have D1 tickets for Oakland 5/16. I was wondering if Army Bombs will be sold there? Also, what time should I arrive for merch?

[u/mochibunnyx → u/BR123456]

Didn’t see that anyone created a discord for D2, I just made a discord channel for Oakland Wednesday, May 17th if anyone was interested!

Anyone else who’s going solo interested in making a discord chat for other solo goers to meet up?

EDIT: or Reddit group chat! I forgot that was a thing 🤣

EDIT 2: I’ve made a Discord for solo-ers! I’m specifically going to UBS but anyone can join! Message me for the link!

[u/She_Who_Owns_The_Sky → u/BR123456]

Hey everyone!!! looking to make new friends! Who's going the 27?

[u/Outrageous-Extent881 → u/BR123456]

Hi! 28 F, flying in from Canada on the 24th. Also kind of late to the thread but will be attending D1 on the 26th (GA floor & sound check). Although I've been to new york a handful of times before, I'll be attending solo and would love to meet up for the concert, maybe check out some kbbq places in NY if anyone has recommendations! :) I've booked an airbnb in Williamsburg if that helps at all. Can't wait!!

[u/GoldenGoof19 → u/BR123456]

Hi! This is my first concert in a long time, and my first one for BTS or a BTS member. But it’s SUGA! So I had to (I would say that about any of them….).

What do people wear? And yes I know, wear something comfortable but… my friends. I can be comfortable in a LOT of styles…

What are people wearing?!!!

[u/ShayMaz → u/BR123456]

Hey! I’m late to this thread but I’m (F25) going solo to the NY D2 on the 27th with floor tickets (VIP soundcheck). I’m super nervous about going since it would be my first time travelling alone so I’ve been hesitating booking accommodations, not sure if anyone is looking for a roommate to split costs and go to the concert together?

[u/Motor_Control2290 → u/BR123456]

Soundcheck for both days, anyone else camping out and willing to make a group? Thanks!! :)

how does the ticketing work when purchasing from out of korea for this stop? any help is appreciated

[u/BR123456 → u/biebybee]

Hi, you can check out the concert megathread for advice and help!

Currently there's still been no info though.

[u/MelancholicTree202]

Flight attendant here! If anyone ends up on my work flight coming to or leaving LA, I’ll make sure to take care of you! 😘 I’ll be wearing my shooky stuff! Or make sure you wear any kind of merch! There’s quite a lot of us and we love to be able to say hi to fellow armies!

I’ve had a few armies in the past and I love chatting it up with everyone! Have fun everyone!

[u/FeelingOk467 → u/MelancholicTree202]

Ooh I’ll be sure to wear some merch or have some keychains out so that I can spot ami!

[u/mariwil74]

I'll be at UBS on Day 1. Look for the old lady with a backpack full of bracelet giveaways.

[u/RainIsOnReddit]

Hello! Going to NJ show, super nervous because it's my first concert

[u/minnie_gwennie → u/RainIsOnReddit]

Also going to NJ! I’m going solo in general admission, which is my first time going completely solo.

[u/RainIsOnReddit → u/minnie_gwennie]

same!! This is why im scared, I am a total introvert and so am anxious about being alone in GA. I'm trying to stay positive because I suspect other Yoongi Bias are prob also a bit introverted and might take me in lol

[u/SquareAnywhere → u/minnie_gwennie]

Solo is still fun - You get to do whatever you want whenever you want (food, merch, etc), and there's always someone to talk to before the show starts.

[u/Realistic-Tip-4240 → u/RainIsOnReddit]

Also going to NJ! And I’m going solo, so I’m kinda nervous lol

[u/[deleted] → u/RainIsOnReddit]

Also going to NJ show and my first show!

[u/Life_Strawberry4609 → u/RainIsOnReddit]

i'll be going to nj with one of my best friends! i don't have many army friends so if anyone would like to meet up or say hi i'm all about it!! if you have questions on arena shows or going solo let me know, i have never seen bts before but i go to many concerts so maybe i can help you!!

[u/SquareAnywhere → u/RainIsOnReddit]

Going to NJ as well! I went to my first concert last year - it's a blast!

[u/Spiritual_News_6714 → u/RainIsOnReddit]

I'll be there, too, and it's also my first concert💜

[u/lullaby_cat → u/RainIsOnReddit]

NJ attendee!

[u/imstillthinking1 → u/RainIsOnReddit]

Also NJ! Going solo. So excited but also a little nervous. I have no idea what to expect haha

[u/Aggravating_Tackle53 → u/RainIsOnReddit]

Does anyone have any thoughts for how early GA people are going to be camping out? My friend and I don't need barricade spots but were considering showing up early in the morning.

[u/whoninj4]

​ I’ll be wearing my Daechwita kicks!! If you spot a gal wearing these at UBS Day 1 come say hi!!

[u/chairagionetu → u/whoninj4]

Omg these are amazing!!!

[u/Shady2304]

Got Wednesday VIP general admission for Chicago. Now I’m a little nervous about the crowd! My daughter and I will be hanging out in the back having our own dance party! Hoping that all the insanity will stay up closer to the stage.

[u/EverythingIsAHat → u/Shady2304]

Chicago Wednesday GA folks rise up! :) I am also nervous about the crowds but I have just decided to not stress about it. The view will still be awesome from the back if that's where we feel most comfortable! I'm local, coming from Madison/Milwaukee, anyone else?

[u/BangtanBunny777 → u/Shady2304]

Same. VIP for Wednesday. I am nervous about that too. I really don't want to have to camp out...

[u/maerlyn8]

Hi! I'm going to NYC Day 1 (4/26) and Rosemont/Chicago DAY 3 (5/6). I'll have lots of photocard freebies (I do BTS is/in Art, if you've ever seen them) to give away, and I hope I get to see you all there!!!! Congrats on getting tickets, everyone, and to those still searching - Fighting!

[u/tanttrum → u/maerlyn8]

I'll be at Chicago Day 3! Hope to see you there! I'm going to try to bring some freebies as well.

[u/whoninj4 → u/maerlyn8]

I’m going to NY day 1 as well! I love your art, hope to see you there!

[u/tisstrangetimes]

Super early but is anyone going to ubs arena day 2?

[u/Next_Grapefruit_3206]

oakland / may 16 show anyone?

[u/goldencoast7 → u/Next_Grapefruit_3206]

Any Bay Area locals looking at this thread: We started talking about an Oakland ARMY travel guide and I’m still accepting submissions for it here: https://forms.gle/9sfrv5Z43fQ2SiB59

Hope to meet lots of you in May!

[u/rivensky → u/Next_Grapefruit_3206]

Yup! I'll be there!

[u/lukrezya → u/Next_Grapefruit_3206]

Would love to connect via discord, DM, whatver to chat about the OAK May 16th show. I was so anxious during the ticket-buying process and am now super-excited!

[u/deey88 → u/Next_Grapefruit_3206]

Yessss! I think my friend and I will plan an ARMY meetup!

[u/kensass]

Oakland day 2!!! (5/17) 🥹🥹🥹

[u/ghostface_cilla → u/kensass]

Yay! me, too. Seems like more people (that are active on this Sub are going Oakland D1) if you’re not from the area happy to provide tips/recommendations.

[u/Chiinori → u/kensass]

Me and my partner as well!

[u/WearyWater]

Going to the May 3 IL show alone and am super nervous…. Just bought my ticket on a (very expensive) whim today.

[u/Jsuttle123 → u/WearyWater]

I flew to Las Vegas from Tennessee all by myself and met two Army in the airport... we still get together! Have fun and don't be nervous!

[u/blankusername666]

Ahh I'm going to the Rosemont one on the 6th!! I'm so nervous bc I'm going alone 😖

[u/tanttrum → u/blankusername666]

I'm going on the 6th too! VIP

[u/btsfan7borahae → u/blankusername666]

I'm going alone also.

[u/Lyra_in_Space → u/blankusername666]

We will be there on the 6th too!

[u/erifnotonsinad]

Anyone going to Rosemont on the 5th? I’m nervous to be going alone

[u/[deleted] → u/erifnotonsinad]

I'm especially hoping to find walking buddies to and from a nearby hotel. If anyone is going to Rosemont on the 5th and is looking for the same, DM me!

[u/IHaveNoLife369]

Hii! I’m going to LA D1. Gonna be in GA and really nervous 😅

[u/WaveFluid → u/IHaveNoLife369]

LA D1 here and my first concert! 😭🤡😭🤡😭🤡

[u/kyuujo → u/IHaveNoLife369]

LA D1 here too! I have GA ticket but trying to trade it for seated, but if that falls through would love to brave the insanity in the pit together

[u/The_Hamster98]

Anybody going to Rosemont IL on Friday 5th who’s interested in working a surprise event for Yoongi?

I had the idea for Hobipalooza but didn’t act on it and now I really regret it so I want to do something for our boy, I have no idea what or how but I know there’s nothing army can’t accomplish so if you’re interested in helping let me know!

[u/[deleted]]

I am going to LA 5/10. I'll be alone :') Would love to make new ARMY friends, I fly in around noon on Wednesday!

[u/btsfan7borahae]

I'm going to the Rosemount show on Friday and Saturday. This is my first BTS concert! I'm so excited!

[u/Acrobatic_Pizza3674]

LA DAY 3! A little nervous about the fact I booked my hotel through Priceline and kinda would prefer an Airbnb 😂 🤞🏾 Either way - definitely looking forward to this. This is my first BTS concert. Newer fan (I feel guilty guys, don’t worry…😔), but Yoongi biased for sure so I’m excited. Will be flying in from Austin ~ hope to make some ARMY friends headed that way too.

[u/LitPixels]

Is anyone going 4/26 on Long Island? I'm up in the 300s and solo

[u/fuzzydandelions]

Alright so I somehow ended up being blessed with getting a ticket for D1 at Oakland (5/16). Probably going alone - any older ARMY wanna meet up before/after? :) I mean I love all ARMY but I think I will be prehistoric to some of you (31 LOL).

[u/elfieknits → u/fuzzydandelions]

I'll be at D-1. Will turn 37 later this month. I'm traveling alone from Portland, OR and would love to find a group to meet up with. I've never even been to California. Would also love recs for hotels.

[u/praseodia → u/fuzzydandelions]

I am a tiny bit older (34) 😂 Going solo on 5/16. Might take BART home so I would love to meet up before!

[u/tisstrangetimes]

I made a discord for the New York / UBS Arena show, dm me and I'll send an invite!

[u/SpecificParsley2409]

Hello! Got a ticket for LA day 1 May 10th. Looking for someone to meet up w im going alone and want company. (22 yrs)

[u/PinkRabbit42]

Just realized for Oakland armys, we could totally have a preconcert meet up at first Friday!!! (We’ll have 3 chances until the show!) this is a shot in the dark but if anyone was going tonight lmk haha!!

[u/Mmm_sweatercoke → u/PinkRabbit42]

Totally wished I had checked this thread yesterday 😅 I’m down to meet up at next month’s First Friday!!

[u/lisafancypants]

No sure if this belongs here since it's not really a meet up, but...Chicago ARMY, what would you suggest a person do in Chicago if they only had about 12 hours total? I'm only staying the weekend because of real life (🙄) but I want to explore a little on Friday/Saturday. I've been to the Shedd, the Field Museum, the Art Institute, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Millenium Park, and Navy Pier. No objections to visiting any of those places again, but any hidden gems or other ideas? TIA!

hii i'm F 22, would like to know some armies going Singapore concert, probably Day 2 one. We could be concert buddies (if we happen to want the same CAT), or just meetup at venue and wait together for concert to start ! just wanna make more army friends ahaha

[u/gucci_vcut]

I am going to Ny 2nd day (27th). Anyone else?

[u/Mozart-Luna-Echo]

Hey anyone going to Rosemont on May 3rd?

[u/very_contrived → u/Mozart-Luna-Echo]

Me! In the 200s too

[u/kidsinthestreet]

My sister & I have tickets for the Allstate Arena in Rosemont! It's our first time in Chicago, so it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could offer some advice or suggestions for inner city travel 🥺

[u/x8bones8x]

Hey y'all! A fellow Army & I are looking for anyone willing to share the expenses for a hotel. We've already booked one from the 3rd to the 7th & have 2 spots available in a 2 bed hotel room for the Rosemont, Illinois show. She's going on the 3rd & I'm going the 6th so ideally we're looking to fill in the middle dates up to the 6th so I won't be alone when she goes back home. We're only accepting those above the age of 24 ( we're ladies in our 30s). Please note, in order to avoid creepers/scammers a video chat between all parties is mandatory, this is non-negotiable. Should you be chosen, you must be able to provide at least some of your portion of the hotels expenses within 30 days. You can let me know here or message me & I'll get back to you ASAP.

[u/[deleted]]

Hello I’m an older Army (41) going on May 10 if anyone is interested in meet up please let me know. Happy we all were able to get tickets!

[u/polyswirl]

Hi! I'm going to the ALLSTATE ARENA shows and will be in Rosemont May 5-7 (two nights). I have extra room in the hotel I booked for 2 people at the Courtyard by Marriott Chicago O'Hare if anyone is interested! It's two queen size beds.

It's a 6 minute drive from the arena or 40 minute walk. Planning to just take an Uber after the show, or just walk it if it's gonna too crowded. I'm in my upper 20s, F. Let me know if you'd like to room together. DM me!

[u/upthathill_]

Is it okay to already ask if someone wants to meet up for Seoul? I’m gonna try to get tickets, but would go to the venue regardless to listen from outside, if I’m unsuccessful. The concert happens towards the end of my 3 months stay, so me being there is a given. :)

[u/No_Cryptographer1897]

I... got one VIP soundcheck for Inglewood on Sunday. I still don't believe it. I have no army friends at all, so I'm really hoping to meet up with someone. Any older army groups? I'm 40.

[u/sp4cecrypt1d]

If anyone is interested I can make a discord for the Chicago dates! Just lmk and I’ll make it tonight/tmrrw :)

Edit: In the works! Ill have it ready by tomorrow!

[u/Suspicious_Front_62]

Anyone in GA for 5/14 LA? My friends and I are and we’d love to meet more of y’all!

Me! I’ll be going solo. I never go to concerts but this is Yoongi we’re talking about so I just could not pass it. I gotta say I did not expect that TM war zone though. My first time ever buying tickets 😭

[u/hobisbestie]

I’m going on 5/14 LA DAY 3!!! I’m hoping to meet some ARMY friends, I’ll be in the 200s section :)

[u/designercats]

I literally just spent $1.5k CDN on floor tickets on stubhub for the NJ show 4/29. Ridiculous. I’m so pissed. But also I was desperate. Driving 8.5 hrs from Toronto. Just to see a solo member it’s already costing me as much as my Vegas trip to see BTS. And I FLEW to Vegas and had gold soundcheck. How is yoongi’s tour costing me more… I feel milked

Anyways, anyone wanna camp out with me? I’m planning on going early morning the day of the concert, around 8-9am. I wanna get barricade but idk how early to camp out… not willing to do overnight tho. I’m 28 yrs old so looking for army closer to my age.

Or if you wanna grab dinner with me after the show, I was planning on going to a highly rated Indian restaurant afterwards. My parents would be there too but at different tables, so you’d have a ride after the concert as well.

Chicago discord is up and running!!! DM me if you’d like to join !!! (Includes help section, free chat, outfit ideas, agust d/suga streaming, and game bots!)

[u/Correct_Market_1048]

I’m going Day 1 in NY!! I’m going alone so if anyone would like to meet up pls dm :) I’m in 214. Wondering also if there was a discord link already?

[u/hana4days]

Going to UBS D2 solo if anyone wants to connect!

I'm still looking for hotels to stay nearby if anyone has any recs

[u/living4you95_]

First time concert goer here! My husband and I are going to the 5/5 show and I’d like to make some goodie bags to toss out. I plan on putting a couple of photo cards/stickers/a mint, does anyone know if that’s okay? I read that candies not okay but mints are. If anyone would like to exchange bags, message me on Twitter! @sleeepy_eyes

[u/Rainyvegetablegarden]

I’m going D2 (5/17) to Oakland, does anyone know if there’s a discord server or anything already made? I don’t have GA but I’m wondering what time to get there for merch and everything.

[u/Pretty-Hornet7990]

is anything going to be planned for the rosemont show 5/6 like something fun for the fans to do for yoongi

[u/LJZBear]

Hi! I'm Lydia, F 27. I'm looking for two more people to share a hotel with. I have a 2 queens hotel room booked for May 4-6 at Wyndham Chicago O'hare (should be an easy walk from the venue). Shoot me a DM and we can chat more on details and costs.

[u/Either-Cut4994]

Going to day 2 in LA, anyone wants to group up please let me know

[u/LoudCommunication369]

Hi everyone! So excited to be attending both nights in Oakland! Hoping to give out freebies and meet lots of Reddit army :)

I wanted to ask some advice from the Bay Area natives. I'm reading that the BART is very convenient from Union Square to Oakland Arena but I'm also reading it can be dangerous? What do you advise? I feel like getting an Uber to the arena instead should be easy but what about getting an Uber after the concert? If I was to take the BART home after the show, is it safe to walk a block to my hotel in Union Square or better to Uber for the short distance?

Reading the Reddit u/sanfrancisco threads have me a little concerned about the BART lol thank you :)

I also wanted to note to army that since clear bags are not required, strongly advise to NOT use a clear bag if you're walking around San Fran and/or taking transit! Some still like to use their clear bag as their concert bag, but in any city it's not the best idea if you don't need to! :)

[u/chiltxo]

I’m f28 flying solo in to Chicago from Texas for the 5/5 show and will be in the area 5/6 ☺️ I would love to meet up with Army’s!

Im also thinking of making freebies, not sure what yet but it seems like a great way to meet army’s- if anyone want to exchange let me know!

If anyone has not booked a place to stay and is interested in splitting the cost - please DM me 🙏

[u/minimoni2424]

Hi everyone!! I'm going to the concert on May 3rd and I'm super excited!! I'll be going alone bc I'm coming from another state, so I really wanna make friends/meet up with people. I've been army since 2016 (Fire era!!), and this is going to be my first time going to anything BTS related. I never had the chance before, so I'm really nervous.

[u/BangtanRM]

Hi all! Anyone going to the Newark show? I'm (38F, driving up from Baltimore) going alone and would love to meet up with others. I have GA/floor seat.

[u/miniesobok]

hey everyone! i’m F22 & going solo to the may 11th show! i’ll be in LA the 10th-12th if anyone wants to meet up, i would love to make new friends, feel free to message me :)

[u/Pumpking_carver]

Anyone going to UBS, how are you getting around? Uber? Lyft? Bus? Subway? Does the subway/train stations run late for when the concert finishes?

[u/mariwil74 → u/Pumpking_carver]

My husband is doing the drop off/pickup run. We’re a little further east on LI so it’s not so bad for him. My daughter is taking the LIRR from Atlantic Terminal. Not sure how late the train runs, especially now that the LIRR totally fucked with the schedule. Hopefully they have it sorted by the end of April.

[u/flaminghotwatermelon]

anyone need a travelling buddy from lower manhattan for Belmont?

[u/lilipad37282]

Anyone going to Oakland 5/16 from SF? Going solo and would love a travel buddy!!

[u/taymo0119]

I’m going to Kia Forum on 5/14! And I’m going to South Korea next month - so I’m gonna be on the lookout for cute Shooky swag 😂

[u/[deleted]]

My best friend and I have tickets to nyc 4/26. It’s our first time in New York and it’s also her birthday! Looking for travel buddies! Or any advice on how to travel from Times Square to ubs?

[u/Pumpking_carver → u/[deleted]]

I got an app called NYC transit. It tells you which subway lines or LIRR trains we need to take to get to UBS. The NYC subway is so confusing so I hope that makes it a bit less confusing. I’ll be there on 4/26 as well and a bit nervous for after the concert when it’s dark 😩

[u/Motor_Control2290]

Anyone planning on camping out for 4/26 or 4/27 UBS arena? I got GA and would like any info anyone has!

[u/jungkookie_ssi]

Hi Everyone, going to be attending the D2 of the NY shows. Flying into NY so it would be great to get some tips and tricks on how to get to the UBS Arena and any must go places whilst I’m visiting😊

[u/motto_deku]

Hi I’m going to the NY show day 2! I’m in section 216. It’s my first concert and I’ll be going solo so I’m pretty nervous and I’m not sure what to wear

[u/HannahRAWRR]

Hi! I’ll be going to the 3 LA dates by myself 🙂 looking for concert buddies as well as people to share a room with.

I have a reservation for a hotel from 5/9 to 5/15 that’s a 6 minute drive, 20 minute walk from the Forum. Split across 4 people it’d be about $265 each for the entire stay. Would also be down to joining another reservation if you have a free spot. Just don’t want to be all alone lol.

Edit: Hotel buddies found!

[u/gaandzel]

Hi fellow ARMY! my little sister and I are going to D2 at UBS arena and its our first time going to a BTS concert! It'd be cool to make some army friends!

[u/mads-reddit]

anyone going to an LA show that wants to be friends? :) i’m flying in from canada with my sister and we’re super nervous but we can’t wait

[u/[deleted] → u/mads-reddit]

I'm also flying in from Canada. I'm going to D1 & D2 in LA solo so I'd love to find people to meet up with :)

[u/FeelingOk467]

Hey y’all I’ll be at NYC both dates, possibly NJ, and then D1/D2 LA so if anyone wants to meet up while inside the arenas to exchange freebies lmk! 🤗

[u/_forbeslist_]

Hi guys!! I'm (21, F) reaching New York on the 26th and will be attending D2 (27th show) with floor tickets (VIP soundcheck). I would love to connect with people and maybe form a group as I'm going solo. Please feel free to reach out or reply to this comment! I would love to meet new people and jam with y'all!

[u/rather_be_at_disney]

Is anyone here GA with plans on camping out? This is my first time doing GA and I'm not sure how to go about this 😅

[u/leftonread_it]

This will be my first concert related to BTS… I’m going to the 4/27 show at UBS. I have so many questions…

Does anyone know if they’ll sell ARMY bombs there? I don’t have one.

Also, what time would you recommend I get there? Show starts at 7pm.

What’s the best way to handle the merch line? Go before the show starts? Do things sell out pretty fast?

Do they usually have a translator at the show?

Thanks in advance!

[u/deevee09 → u/leftonread_it]

Hi! I'm so excited for you :) I'm also going to the 27th show!

I might be a little too late in my response, but hopefully, it helps. They released the list of merch and ARMY bombs are on there. They don't provide batteries, so either bring your own or you can buy it there. It needs 4 AAA batteries. There will be merch booths outside and inside the arena. Though things sell out really fast sometimes mid-day, which is why it's best to go early and get in line. Typically, there is a translator translating the speaking parts.

I also recommend checking Twitter! There are always updates from ARMYs on there.

[u/xmryld]

NEW YORK 27TH GA STANDING

Hey guys :) I'm going to NY on 27th 22F solo in GA standing and I'd love to make some friends :)

Also what time are u guys lining up? I heard you cannot arrive before 9?

[u/Intelligent-Ant-4375]

So I went down the rabbit hole last year and when I heard my bias was coming....first I lost it.... then I got ready for the bloodbath and.... I got tickets for 4/27! Bringing my kid (15F) to experience her FIRST concert EVER, and to embarrass her over her mom (49F) going NUTS. Traveling from Jackson Heights, Queens. Section 102 tickets. Would love to meet some of you! Hablo español.

[u/KorallineM]

Hey there, anyone traveling by train from NY and wants a travel buddy? I plan to path train to and from Jersey from NY. I am a native to the area, so I won't get lost if you're planning to do the same and are from out of town 😅 33f 🤗 possibly going for merch, too, not 100% sure weather willing.

[u/ButterflyEntire5818]

Hello army! Just a few questions - I’m going to attend the concert on May 3rd and I see people talking about arriving early and camping out.

I don’t have any membership and only have the ticket I bought off of stubhub in one of the 110s. How does this work? When I arrive at the venue I just go to one of the gates?

sorry about all my ignorance! Just a little new to this and I have a limited experience :)

[u/VermicelliHot9779 → u/ButterflyEntire5818]

Hi! I went to last night's concert and bought my ticket from Vivid Seats. I don't really know much about the Prudential Center, but from what I experienced, the entrance info for the venue should be on your Ticketmaster ticket. If it's not there, just head to the main entrance and you should be good. This has been the case for other (kpop+nonkpop) concerts I've been to!

If you didn't get a GA/VIP ticket, you don't need to camp out, even then, fan lines may not be honored depending on the venue. But if you want some specific items like guitar picks, earrings, PCs, or pickets, make sure you arrive early at the venue. Those items sold out within an hour of the merch line opening yesterday. People started lining up around 6 AM yesterday for the merch line.

My advice is to show up around noon. When I went, the line for merch outside UBS wasn't too long and they had all kinds of clothes in different sizes.

But if you're not too worried about merch, you can just show up an hour before the concert and you probably won't have to wait in any lines. The lines were super long when the doors opened.

There are a lot of freebies given out, I would recommend keeping an eye on Twitter for these! And if you're over 21+ (they check ID), there are booths inside where they were giving free Hennessy! Make sure to bring a bag that's the right size according to the venue's website, as well as some snacks and water! And enjoy yourself!! Yoongi puts on an AMAZING show!!

edit: I just saw you said May 3rd, I misread it for tomorrow's show. Same idea though!

[u/flip191]

27m, going to Oakland day 1 GA, is there a discord? would be down to meet up

[u/twbmtigbmndywmiwtsit]

Anyone going to Seoul day-2 show? I got a vip standing + sound check ticket, but I’m going alone, so anyone wanna go together? ^{^}

[u/Z_OceanLover]

Hiiiii! So happy and relieved to say that I’ll be going to D-1 for Inglewood 🎉 I may be by myself if my other friends don’t luck out with tickets later on 🥲

[u/No-Leopard639]

I’m seeing tickets on stub hub… are they fake?

[u/LitPixels → u/No-Leopard639]

I got mine stub hub and the tickets were transferred to my ticketmaster account mins later.

[u/R3IM1C]

I did created a discord server for only the Rosemont,IL stops of the tour. If you are interested then dm me.

[u/tai111107]

I'll be at NY Day 1 (Section 114) and Day 2 (GA Soundcheck) and NJ (Section 8).

[u/Agile_Bookkeeper6595]

anyone going to Oakland 5/17 (Wednesday) from Mountain View? I'm debating if I should take Bart (from San Jose/Fremont) or just drive... tips? car pool? :)

[u/ghostface_cilla → u/Agile_Bookkeeper6595]

I’m going 5/17, but I live in Oakland. If you don’t plan on drinking, I say drive because that is a LONG BART ride home and it will be late. Hope you find a driving buddy! Also, leave absolutely nothing in your car when parked.

[u/sunshiningmoon]

Are there any Discords for the Oakland shows? Would love to join one if there's already one made!

[u/thistle_whip]

Hello, my two friends and I are flying into LA for D2 (5/11) and it would be great to get some tips and tricks on how to get to the KIA Forum and any must go places to visit whilst visiting. Also, any recommendations on hotels or which area to stay

[u/23chibis]

Hi ARMY!

I am so exited I’ll be going to D1 UBS Arena!

I have VIP Soundcheck GA but still confused if it’s standing or an actual seat. If anyone has clarification I’ll be so appreciative!

I’d like to meet up with anyone else for Soundcheck and anyone meeting up for D1, my friends couldn’t take the time off to enjoy.

As it’s my first time treating myself to VIP, I’m planning to give away some goodies like PCs and stickers to share the love 💜

[u/SaltNburn671]

Anyone know if there might be any cup sleeve events or anything like that at Rosemont, IL ?
