Paramore - After Laughter - Tour 5 Tour • Page 8

Well I'm now going to this. Thanks Ticketmaster for the $20 all in tickets. Paramore is my fiance's favourite band and she's never seen them so she's pretty stoked.

 

Trying for the SC date and ticketmaster keeps crashing whenever I submit my order

 

Might grab some of these $20 tix and go to the Indiana date too. Too good a deal to pass up

 

Can another northwest person confirm for me that they haven’t played here in...a really long time?

 

Yup, I grabbed a $20 ticket this morning, as did a lot of my friends that I'm meeting there. So excited.

 

Correct, they never play here. The Writing The Future tour hit Portland and the first Self Titled tour hit Seattle but that's about it.

 

Got my $20 tix yesterday, can’t wait...

 

I'm going to the Indianapolis show now which is exciting because it means I'll be able to see Soccer Mommy too! Kind of want to go to Kansas City as well, but I'm seeing Radiohead and I coulnd't give that up.

 

Deciding whether to go 20 for lawn seats or 30-50 for farthest seated section. Y’all around here think it’s worth it?

 

Honestly, unless you're a really casual fan of a band, I'd say avoid lawn at all costs. I just feel that so many times when on the lawn you end up next to shitty people that don't even care a concert is going on.

 

Very good point. I’m waiting to see if some friends wanna go but now kinda hoping they bail haha

 

That's kind of why I kept it quiet I was even going to the NH date. I knew I wanted to be as close as possible, and if my friends who wanted to go, who are only casual fans, wouldn't want to. Selfish of me I guess, but I really love After Laughter and want to enjoy the show as much as I can.

 

Not selfish at all you deserve the experience that you want.

 

Agreed. Going to shows with people who just aren't as excited, or don't even want to be there, really detracts from the experience. I will go to a show alone before I go with people who aren't going to be as into it as me.

 

I get real annoyed when people are like "why didn't you tell me you were going to that show???" Like idk is it my responsibility to inform anyone who is coming to town? Plus if I asked everyone to go to every show with me they'd literally just get annoyed.

 

wait, people get upset when you don't ask them to go to shows? i have trouble even finding people to go to shows with me lol

 

Lol no that's it too, if I actually ask they'll be wishy washy and end up not wanting to go. It's only if I don't ask. Then all of a sudden they wanted to be there.

 

It's a double edge sword they say they're gonna go and then don't follow through. Then you don't invite them and you're the bad guy. My sister does this song and dance with me all the time I finally stopped inviting her.

 

Dude, I feel you. Every time I go to a show and post a pic on instagram or something I have the same two friends always immediately text me "wow dude thanks for the invite." Its so infuriating that not only does everyone expect me to invite everyone to every show I go to, but also none of them ever offer to buy the tickets themselves haha

 

Haha Yep I'm definitely the default "matt will just get the tickets" guy. Also gotta love how people act like it's not a public event they could just choose to go to if they wish. It's a curse haha

 

The only time I’ve ever gotten annoyed about someone not asking me to go to a show was when I told that person about the show initially.

When American Football was reuniting and had a show booked in NY I suggested to my friends that we all go. Nothing ever came of it until we were hanging out one night and they casually mentioned that they got tickets, but never told me because they didn’t know if I’d want to go. I’m normally pretty passive about that stuff, but I felt like a real loser at that moment.

They ended up not even going and wasting the tickets, but still.

 

Yea that's definitely shitty. It's very different if someone makes it clear in advance they want to go.

 

I also have plenty of friends who say they want to go, I buy tickets, they ask if they can wait till day of show to pay me, and then with like a days notice they say they can't go anymore. People suck lol

 

I'd still ask for them to pay you for the ticket, tbh.

 

I only ever go to shows alone or with my girlfriend. I wouldn’t even ever really want to go with a group
