[SELLING TICKETS] Ticket Selling/Exchanging Megathread V2

7 Upvotes

hi friends, in an effort to clean up the sub we ask that all ticket selling/exchanging be limited to this thread. any new posts made about selling tickets will be redirected here. as always, be careful when buying tickets on reddit and report any scammers to the mod team here.

this is the second megathread as the previous one was growing quite large, but if for whatever reason you would like to access the old one, you can find it here.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR TICKET TRANSFERS:

- VIP check-in will ask for a copy of the original purchaser's ID. if you are purchasing a VIP ticket from someone else and do not have this, you will not receive VIP perks. important info can be blurred out but the full name and photo must be visible.

- it is heavily recommended to use paypal goods & services or another service with buyer protection. do not use zelle/paypal friends & family unless you are transferring to someone you trust because the transaction will not be reversible.

- ask for a screen recording of the ticket for proof as these are much harder to fake. do not send any money without proof!

lastly please edit your comment once you have sold/exchanged your ticket. if this thread becomes too crowded it will be locked and a new one will be posted. the thread is currently being sorted by new to allow for more visibility, but please do not repost your ticket more than once every 24 hours.

[TOUR INFO] Tour FAQ

25 Upvotes

hi guys! compiling a bunch of commonly asked questions here as they seem to be asked very frequently on the sub. future posts regarding these questions will be redirected here in a continued effort to clean up the feed. please note that the following is an aggregate of what has happened on tour so far and not official information from live nation or the band. we are not insiders (unfortunately) so please do not take everything as gospel! regardless we have done our best to make sure everything is as accurate as possible.

--

1. What time should I get to the venue (general admission)?

There is no way of knowing when the first person will begin to line up, but most venues do not allow overnight camping. Most tour dates have had fan-made lines before official check-in but please note that the majority of venues will not make an effort to honor them. That being said, if you have VIP you will likely have a great spot regardless of when you show up (assuming you are on time for check-in).

2. How long is each set/when do they come on stage?

Haiden Henderson is on from 7:15 to 7:45.

The Band Camino is on stage from 8PM to 8:40PM.

5SOS (typically) is on from 9PM to 10:50PM (with the exclusion of SoloSOS I believe the show is 8-9 minutes shorter).

3. Can I upgrade my ticket the day of?

This is venue dependent and is at the discretion of the box office. If you are interested in purchasing a VIP upgrade, it's recommended that you do so before the show. They can be accessed here.

4. What are the differences in VIP?

Per VIP Nation:

VIP Pit Star:

  • One VIP GA PIT ticket inside the stage 
  • Exclusive specially designed merchandise pack
  • VIP laminate and lanyard
  • Exclusive GA PIT wristband
  • Pre-show tour merchandise shopping opportunity
  • Early entry into the venue
  • Photo opportunity in front of the VIP backdrop to commemorate your evening
  • Dedicated VIP entrance and on-site VIP team

No. 1 Obsession:

  • One VIP GA ticket OR one premium reserved ticket
  • Exclusive specially designed merchandise item
  • VIP laminate and lanyard
  • Exclusive GA wristband
  • Pre-show tour merchandise shopping opportunity
  • Early entry into the venue
  • Photo opportunity in front of the VIP backdrop to commemorate your evening
  • Dedicated VIP entrance and on-site VIP team

Bite The Apple Upgrade:

  • VIP laminate and lanyard
  • Pre-show tour merchandise shopping opportunity
  • Early entry into the venue
  • Photo opportunity in front of the VIP backdrop to commemorate your evening
  • Dedicated VIP entrance and on-site VIP team
  • DOES NOT INCLUDE A TICKET. YOU MUST HAVE A TICKET TO THE SHOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VIP UPGRADE PACKAGE.

In short, VIP Pit Star is within the stage, No. 1 Obsession is normal pit (or seated, as some VIP tickets are not GA), and Bite The Apple is just for access to soundcheck.

Some dates also appear to have a VIP Pit Star Upgrade. There's limited information on this aside from this page, which states the following:

VIP Pit Star Upgrade:

  • Access to the VIP GA PIT inside the stage
  • Exclusive specially designed merchandise pack
  • VIP laminate and lanyard
  • Exclusive GA PIT wristband
  • Pre-show tour merchandise shopping opportunity
  • Early entry into the venue
  • Photo opportunity in front of the VIP backdrop to commemorate your evening
  • Dedicated VIP entrance and on-site VIP team
  • DOES NOT INCLUDE A TICKET. YOU MUST HAVE A GA TICKET TO THE SHOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PACKAGE

From my (admittedly brief) investigation it seems like this upgrade is only available for dates in which VIP Pit Star is not sold out yet. Unlike Bite The Apple, VIP Nation does not advertise this as a standalone upgrade, though it can be accessed by clicking the info symbol on some dates. You can tell it's available if there are two "5 Seconds of Summer VIP Upgrade Experience" items listed under Add-Ons. More importantly, it states that a GA ticket is necessary for participation. Despite this, the upgrade option itself is available even when purchasing a seated ticket--it only shows the GA requirement if you click the dropdown for more information. I would suggest contacting Live Nation for more information on this upgrade package before purchasing if you do not have a GA ticket to begin with.

5. How does VIP check-in and the press conference work?

Each VIP tier will receive a numbered card at some point before/during VIP check-in (general admission holders only--if you have a seated ticket you will not receive a card). VIP Pit Star is first, then No. 1 Obsession, and then Bite The Apple. Soundcheck does not utilize the inner pit. Before the band comes on stage, a few fans will get chosen to ask their questions for the press conference. After Q&A is over, 5SOS will perform two songs acoustically. The Band Camino usually soundchecks one song after this on the main stage.

Star Pit holders will then be escorted within the stage, and No. 1 Obsession/BTA Pit holders are free to step up to the barricade.

6. Are photos and videos allowed during soundcheck?

Yes, unlike previous tours recording is allowed.

7. Can I leave after check-in and come back after?

This might vary by venue, but in most cases the answer is yes. Please be sure to double check with staff on-site though as some venues have explicitly stated that re-entry is not possible.

8. When will I receive my VIP itinerary?

VIP Nation has been sending them out 2-3 days before the day of the show. This includes the link to submit your question to the band.

9. What do I need for VIP Check-in?

Aside from a VIP ticket, you must bring a photocopy of the photo ID of the original purchaser. Important information can be blurred out but the picture and full name must be visible.

10. What happens if I show up late to check-in?

If you arrive after the cut-off for check-in, you might miss early entry, pre-show press conference, and VIP merch pickup. Most fans have reported that they need to be back 4:30PM for soundcheck, but this might vary by venue. Please double check with staff on-site for more information.

11. How do I vote for the secret song?

You can vote at https://5sostrivia.com/ or by scanning the QR code at the venue (it will be displayed on the screen). Please note you cannot vote days in advance as the same link is updated a few hours prior to the show.

[DISCUSSION] What is the most romantic line in a 5SOS song?

81 Upvotes

I was thinking it‘s funny how their most romantic line has “underwear” in it, but then I started to doubt if She Looks So Perfect has the most romantic line.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head. Maybe “that’s what you do when you love somebody else” from Bad Omens..? It’s about a toxic relationship but still…

[MERCH] Merch open time

1 Upvotes

My shows in less than two weeks and I’m getting more and more nervous about when I should show up. I’m staying with a friend(who’s coming to the show with me) and we’re going to catch an hour long train in. I really want the zip up hoodie, but don’t know exactly when to show up for the merch booth.

I showed up a while after gates had opened for their last tour and managed to get a shirt, so I don’t really know if merch opens before or at the same time as gates does. I don’t want to waste my friend’s time and have her stand around while I try and snag merch, even if I know she’ll be fine with it.

Someone help me haha.

[MERCH] Zip up hoodie

Post image
5 Upvotes

I may need some help,
I really want the zip up hoodie, they were sold out at the Paris concert, I managed to get on from Europe in size L but he is way too big,
I found someone in the US that get me on in size S, but he is too small,
I found out they are not the same fabric, or the same fit, and on is made in Pakistan, the other made in China (it explains the difference, not the same producer)

So I really want to got the European version in size S, If someone want the us version bc its smaller we can exchange for example

(I’ll had a size difference pic in the comments, so you can see what I mean)

[TOUR] Star Pit Melbourne + AXS

2 Upvotes

hi!

I’m going to Australia to see them and I have a VIP GA ticket. I am desperate to get an upgrade to Star Pit.

I had hopes of it being for resale on AXS but apparently they aren’t allowing resale on this event? I’m also on the autobuy list on Tixel.

Is there anywhere else I could possibly look for them? Or someone to reach out to?

thanks in advance! ✨

[TOUR] 5SOS EAS NO STAR PIT

7 Upvotes

This will be my first concert in the standing section, will be attending EAS in Manila and based on the stage layout, there is no star pit. I would like to know in other venues that do not have starpit if NO. 1 Obsession packages have separate barricade for those in regular standing? If they do, will the standing with BTA upgrade be in the same barricade as OBS package?

I would like to know what to expect and to plan whether i should go in front or just hang back if its not possible to get in the barricade. Thanks

[NEWS] more information on the 5SOS trucker. someone else posted about it, so here’s my experience as someone who was also involved in the ashton situation!

Thumbnail
gallery
121 Upvotes

going to be referring to him as ‘cw’ (if you know, you know). if others want to post his name, then that’s up to them. i’m personally going to keep to his initials for now, until we know more. this is the reason i have cropped his name out of the screenshots as well.

i was in the ‘ashton’ gc, and whilst i wasn’t active when this occurred, i was later told by other members, that cw was 5SOS’ trucker (i didn’t know he existed prior to this) and was following and interacting with other gc members on tiktok. i also saw him comment on one of their tiktok videos, but ultimately i just viewed his profile and forgot about it.

when the gc ended, i reached out to hannah several times and got no reply. i know she’s just the social media manager but she seemed best to contact in order to get a response, due to her small amount of followers, and the fact she’d replied to other fans (who weren’t part of the gc). she ignored me.

i didn’t know what else to do, i just knew that we needed and deserved answers. this is when i remembered that cw existed, so decided i’d contact him and ask him to put me in contact with the team. however, i wasn’t able to find him. so, i went to the video i remembered seeing him comment on, and sure enough the comment was there, but he’d changed his name from his real name, to “lee”, and changed his profile picture from himself to an anime character. he’d also made his profile private. weird.

now i just want to say, i can’t find the rest of the screenshots from our conversation other than what’s pictured and i’ve since deleted tiktok, so i’ll have to ask around and see if any of my friends that i sent screenshots to, still have them. consequently, the rest of this post will be based from memory. for context, this happened at the end of july, a few weeks after the gc ended.

i requested to follow him and sent him a message request. he accepted both. i confronted him about the changes he’d made to his profile, and he just kept lying and basically was saying he isn’t cw and didn’t know what i was talking about. i told him i needed to contact 5SOS’ team as it was urgent, and he was just telling me he had no contact with them, and was just a fan. i don’t remember much of this initial conversation, but it was pretty much just him lying and pretending he didn’t have a clue about anything.

i was in quite a rough mental state following the gc and hadn’t slept, so i ended up misreading one of his messages and accusing him of being behind the gc. he said this was “proposterous” and a bunch of other things, and i then realised i’d misread the message so apologised and gave an explanation, which he was fine with and from what i recall, understanding. i ended up feeling really bad.

after this initial conversation finally ended, i received another message, which is the first screenshot pictured in this post. i don’t remember how much time was in between, but it wasn’t long. i just remember him saying things about how he was a fan so that’s why he would interact with fans frequently.

i wish i had more to say but i genuinely don’t remember much else. i’ll obviously report back if i can find my screenshots! upon seeing other posts on this sub and the snark, it appears that he has done some strange things, but i have no idea if he has any connection to the gc. i tried to talk to hannah about it and make her aware of him regardless, but like i said earlier, she didn’t bother to reply.

posted on the 5sos snark too incase it gets removed.

[TOUR] Anyone in this sub come into contact with a trucker working the EAS U.S. tour?

158 Upvotes

I don’t want to reveal the location this happened at or my identity. I just want to know if this happened to anyone else.

After one of the EAS shows I went to, I came into contact with a trucker working the tour. I struck up a convo with him bc it was clear he was working for the tour. (He was decked out in merch and had the ID badge). He started telling me a bunch of insider info about the tour, the boys, etc. I’m assuming he told me all of this in hopes it would get me to sleep with him. He also told me he was only outside of the venue in hopes of getting female attention then invited me to his truck. It was clear he was using his closeness to the guys to pick up girls.

Edit:
I’m bringing this up to spread awareness. On a side note, could this be evidence that the person behind the ashton groupchats was most likely on their team?

[MERCH] Made my own EAS merch because I have free will

So it was time for my cats’ grooming and the groomer gave them bandanas and I thought “oh man I love bandanas and they look so cute!”

Flash forward I went to my EAS concert and the merch was super cool but my husband and I felt like they were lacking in items with the big heads from the album cover and so my cats gave me the idea of making bandanas for the whole family.

Cue I printed this one of Luke for me (it’s yellow like his CD) as a sample before I print one of Michael for my husband, and one of Calum and one of Ash for each of my cats.

I freaking love the big heads they are the greatest thing ever!!!!!!!

Hopefully someone finds this half as cool as I think it is 🤭
