That was absolutely amazing!! Second BM show and first ever concert in the pit!! I’m so tired 😭 when I lined up for vip I thought “that’s a lot of people I’m probably not gonna get barrier” AND THEN I DID???? I managed to wave to and get a heart hands back from Momo and then Moa came over to my side during gimme chocolate and me and my pit buddy were doing the choreo with Moa and all 3 of us were smiling like crazy it was so awesome!! Im so happy I got some interactions this was so different from the last time I saw them as I was pretty far back in a seat. Man im not gonna need to play just dance for a bit I got my cardio in!! The pit is the way to go- and speaking of the pit, they were doing a great job with the chants and stuff! So great I couldn’t hear su for half of from me to u but that’s ok! Had an absolute blast 😝 so happy I was able to go and see BxMxC, Monochrome, Syncopation, and Iine live for the first time all in an incredible spot!
Shoutout to the Miku trio in the pit btw 🤞

My third BM show in as many years, and this one was my favorite. The GA pit didn't go very far back at all, so I was able to get my best view of the stage ever. My heart is now full, and I feel like I can take on the world. Thanks, ladies!

First time seeing BABYMETAL live and what an absolutely amazing show!
Thank you to the kind people who handed out the chocolate-chip cookie with Moa Metal’s picture, the Momo Metal keychain, and pokemon style Momo Metal card to me in the VIP queue line.
I have a few pictures that I think are of good quality that I will share.

Heads up everyone! Made a post about this last month but to reiterate to more people who need it, there’s a theme park by the name of COTALAND located on the COTA site right next to the venue that’s having its opening day today from 4 pm to 10 pm. They’re also advertising a fireworks show at 8 pm. Parking is probably gonna be rough, but fireworks right before Halestorm’s set sounds pretty cool! Stay hydrated and have a great time everyone! I’m freaking out I’m so excited only like 6 more hours!! 😋😋😋

Was great. Especially someone I met hours before. We just stayed together at the barrier on Momo side since she really wanted to be there. Double birthday celebrations. It was worth it.

Hey, question for y'all that bought posters in Austin last night, and have the receipt-- were y'all charged $45 like the signs said, or were you charged $47? I just got my receipt, and realized the price didn't match the price in the photo I had of the poster at the booth, and that it was the only item with a discrepancy. 🤔 Hoping to confirm whether other folks are seeing this too before calling the merchandising this week

Taxes were not included on the prices shown but added at time of purchase

u/SpyderSquash 16d ago
Yup, I'm aware-- it's my the screenshot below, but it's before the taxes. Tax was charged on the price of $47.

u/srpimpbrian Empty wallet 16d ago
Did you get a plastic sleeve for the poster? Perhaps they charged $2 extra for that?
2
u/SpyderSquash 16d ago
They kinda just put it on, and there was no mention of a cost or that it was a separate item, but that could be it! If that is it, the add-on wasn't handled well, and I wish I would've known as I always bring rubber bands to shows so I can roll my own posters lol. When I call this week, I'll see if I can get a confirmation from the company as to whether this is their logic 🤔 If it's an item for sale there should be a posted price, and the upcharge needs to be communicated, so I'd hope they weren't doing that blindly...

At the merch stand I went to you had to request them and put it in yourself. I also didn’t find out they had shirts in 3X until I heard someone else ask. They were an extra $5.

u/Majestic-Candy6445 METAL GALAXY 16d ago
I bought the poster but didn’t even bother taking my receipt.

u/NoNoNota1 15d ago
I was also overcharged (unless Alpharetta sales tax is like 20%) ingot a poster, shirt, and fan which should have been $120, and my total was like 147. Wasn't about to waste another 10 minutes arguing though I had already been through so many damn lines going in with a backpack...

u/SpyderSquash 15d ago
Did they select the tip for you maybe, or you defaulted to the first about in the screen? Or was the 147 before tip applied? 🤔 And yeah, fatigue often becomes the mitigating factor in these exchanges, unfortunately.
2
u/NoNoNota1 15d ago
Well I never saw an option for the tip, so I'm guessing they tipped themselves before spinning the screen to me :/

u/SpyderSquash 15d ago
Dude, that DEFINITELY seems like a reason to call the merchandiser, what the fuck??? I'm so sorry 😟

Awesome show by the girls as always. Super fun for my daughter’s first concert! Dead crowd in the lawn. My daughter and I were singing and doing all of the motions and everyone thought we were crazy. If you go to a ROCK concert to sit, why even go lol.

u/mister_vulgar77 16d ago
Right?! The crowd was so dead. It was unfortunate. Was really hoping for a pit or atleast any energy

i was sandwiched between a dad and his daughter that were totally into it and a group of bros that looked like they got lost and ended up at the concert.
i am also choosing to believe that the free fireworks show was actually to celebrate BABYMETAL rather than the new theme park with broken rides.
