So like in late march-early april i might attend my 1st K-POP CONCERT EVER (and 1st concert EVER) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That being said, it's a Stray Kids concert in LA. But what do i expect? I need tips & or experiences from others who might have gone to other kpop concerts or large scale kpop events. I need the advice and what to expect as it'd be my 1st kpop concert (in person kpop concert bcs imma go see YTC in Busan in theaters) & i need maybe what to bring & idk just tips & tricks on how to make it amazing.

My seat might be a back seat or like in the middle, not yet sure tho.

Just please help : )

I hope you have a lot of fun

second the power bank so your phone will stay charged

if you have a light stick, bring extra batteries!!! they always end up dying right in the middle of the concert (or in my case right before lol)

wear ear plugs, protect your hearing. people are going to be screaming their heads off, the music is going to be insanely loud.

ahh yes extra batteries for the lightstick (tbh did not think of that)

and ab hearing, f it. i already listen to music at 100% and idk but still yeah

I would also recommend wearing a mask and washing your hands often. Music fans are catching COVID after going to large events/concerts.

thing is i never have caught covid but still proper protection is a must (i have all 4 vaccines)

and i don't think i'd use it during the concert so i'd bring sanitizer

transport around BOC stadium

i'm not LA native but you definitely have to prepare going into and out of the venue. plan to arrive at the venue before the end of bank hour because whew the traffic jam is...unimaginable. one thing i remember is that the street around the stadium is one way and connected to USC and parking lots (one right beside stadium and others quite far), so you'll find your way easily but the traffic will be horrendous. and iirc there is prepaid parking ticket if your parents/ friends rather park than pick you up. uber/ pick up is definitely less of a hassle. the bus stop is right at big intersection so maybe you'll find it scary at night after concert, so i don't recommend stopping there.

if you plan to attend many concert after this, buy a quality cross body clear bag (with sturdy lining, thick strap, and all that). and prepare power bank!! v v important. food and beverage is ridiculously pricey (disneyland type of expensive).

my friends attending born pink tour said that the experience from gate lines to seats is quite an adventure lmao not enough signage and security was useless. after that i imagine is up to the organizer and group. so reserve your energy and don't panic.

have fun out there!!

Okay I hope links are okay to post, here’s what I have:

Earplugs: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw…=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

More earplugs: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw…=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

My clear bag (fits most dimension requirements of places I’ve gone): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw…=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Please use earplugs. I didn’t when I was younger and have had tinnitus for years because of it. Especially because the sheer decibel level of thousands of fans screaming (me being one of them lol) is wayyyy too much for ears.

I got multiple pairs of earplugs to see which ones fit better. I liked both.

I’d also recommend wearing a 95 mask if you can. I went to Stray Kids in Seattle with a friend last week and she had a surgical mask instead of a 95. She got a really bad cold (not Covid at least) and I didn’t. It’s not 100% protection but it’s better than other options.

Bring a portable battery for your phone if you go early.

Have so much fun!!!
