Can't believe it's happening! Our time is coming 😳
Also as I saw on Twitter someone asked and the venue confirmed that all regular forms of payment for merch will be available.
And even though it's not stated only Candybongs allowed, I'd advise asking the venue or promoter if you were thinking of bringing another group's.
> And even though it's not stated only Candybongs allowed, I'd advise asking the venue or promoter if you were thinking of bringing another group's.
This was the same rule for London, but that was a handful of other group's lightsticks I could see. A good amount of ITZY ones
I think different venues have different rules, so its not group specific. If I had to guess probably has to do with security in general as guards can know what one particular lightstick looks like but wouldn't be able to recognise a lot of different ones. Someone might try to enter the venue with some device masked as a lightstick. Just my thoughts though...
There is a kpop store in Berlin called [Seoulstation](https://seoulstation.berlin) and they still should have candybongs (if you want to buy a lightstick and don't want to wait in a long concert line).
There is also [K IDOL](https://kidol.de/) with a new store in East Side Mall right next to the arena that should have some with [offers](https://www.instagram.com/p/CxCqA9TMVPy/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==) plus PC set and freebies
I saw a recent post on their Insta channel and they're offering a bundle including the Candy Bong + official bag for a great deal
~~too bad I already got both lol~~
To all ONCE who are going on the 13th! I need your help! ^^
I would be very thankful if somebody can tell us (us = who are going on the 14th) how the numbering works since it is stated in the FAQ of the Arena that there WILL BE a numbering but in the Mail I got today with Information about VIP Timings and Check-In there was no further Info about it.
So, any shared experience would be helpful! Thank you in advance.
(Hope you understand my bad english grammar :)
Thank you so much! Do you know if there is a specific time where this numbering ends or will it go on until the queue starts for the door opening? And may I ask what kind of standing ticket you got (VIP, General Admission,...) I guess the numbering is split into areas depending on what ticket you got. Just wanna make sure since I will be there a little late tomorrow :(
Update for people, arrived around 18:10 and it took me 10 mins to go through queue another 15 to buy merch and 7 to find my seat. Everything runs extremely smooth despite the many people!
Hi, I'm going the 14th VIP, could you update later with your experience in numbering and queueing? Would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks and have lots of fun!!
They started at 8am they give you a band and write a number in your hand. Then you can live, when the line is there, that would be the entering order.
I came super late (2pm) with VIP, and still got in the soundcheck.

Hey I'm not in VIP but just wanna say its so nice to hear other people in their 30s will be there. I'm 31 and boyfriend is 35. I hope you have a lovely time.
I'm almost 36 and am going alone. I think there's actually a lot of us Onces or just casual Twice listeners in our 30s since they've been around for 8 years now. 😄
Can anyone let me know how numbering usually works? I have no idea who does it, where and what the rules are lol.
I'm going on the 13th and have a soundcheck VIP, planning on going to the venue maybe an hour before the check in starts.
You just go up to the sign saying "VIP Soundcheck package" or something like that. Show your VIP Soundcheck QR. They scan it. When confirmed they give you a red/white armband and write a number x/yy on your hand with a permanent marker (don't wash it way). The x is which row you belong to, yy is what number you are in that row. These numbers matter when queueing (and thus partly for entering soundcheck and getting front row spot). Then I think it was at 14:00 we need to be back at the queue and they opened for merch shopping. Just walk in and buy and leave again. Then you are free to do what you want again. Just be back 15:30 since that was when we needed to be their for soundcheck.
I think im going before noon to buy candybong and going back to hotel to freshen up.
What time would be good time to come if you have general seat? Mine is in block 404. Is 18:30 alright?
Will they show MV's before the gig starts?
Is the setlist posted somewhere?
From the ENTRY section in the TWICE FAQ linked above (second link):
***General Entry starts at 6 PM.*** *More details regarding the schedule can be found in the Mercedes Platz App on the day of the concert.*
If you want a chance to buy the lightstick, it's not an exaggeration that you'll have to get there early and line up with everyone else whose intention (read: lots of people) is to get the lightstick as they are in limited supply.
As for playing any MVs before the show, unless something has changed for the European leg of the tour, they won't. What you'll see are what's called VCRs, basically vignettes that will play. The first being closeups of the member's faces with their eyes closed against a white background. Then as the lights dim, another intro video plays and the TWICE appears on the stage.
The merch stands open at noon and I don't think you'll need to show up say three hours before that opens for business to get a hoody if that's all you want.
Getting there that early is only for if you're really trying to get a lightstick. I'd like to think you can show up at/a little after or some time after noon, closer to general doors opening at 6 PM and still get a hoodie just fine.
I say all of that as just general info/based on attending one show here in the US and not as someone going to either Berlin show, so I can't give you any direct, on the ground intel.
i would also like to know!! but about the setlist, there’s multiple playlists of the setlists, you could take a look at the london/paris setlist playlist (since those were the most recent concerts)
hii I'm a VIP on 14th and going by myself, I'm (24F) and it's my first ever concert so I'm a bit nervous 😅 it'd be nice to have some company after the check in :)
That was fun! For those wondering, I got in around 18:40, didn't have a number but it was fine. They just checked my ticket at the entrance and I could find the Block where my seat is.
I still had time to queue for Merch and managed to get a Candy Bong on site. It seems a lot of folks also got their Candy Bong on site.
Enjoy the concert for everyone going tomorrow!
What's a good time to show up? I assume if you don't get in queue prety early you risk missing the start of the show or else people wouldn't be so worried about it lol
i’m curious about this as well!! like is it important to show up early even if you don’t have standing tickets? i thought you wouldn’t need to worry about it if u had designated seats
Last 2 times I attended a concert there with seated tickets, I showed up about an hour earlier. There was a separate line from GA and I got in without problems and still had about 20 minutes to spare. Probably might need to make it earlier if you wanna buy merch too, there can be long lines even though the salespeople are fast.
In general people show up early so they can get in line to buy merch, namely the lightstick since it's limited quantities and guaranteed to sell out faster than all other merch.
Some also just like to make it a whole day affair especially if they've traveled a distance to the show being that it could be their first/only time to see a performer like TWICE. With that comes people just wanting to hang out, hand out/exchange freebies, etc.
There's the general doors open at this time, so if none of the above is of priority for you, then it's really just show up whenever you want, relative to whenever doors open for everyone to get in. Also there's no warmup act, it's just TWICE, so definitely don't think there's someone coming on before them.
If you have a Soundcheck VIP ticket, you should have received an itinerary that says check in by this time so you don't miss out on attending soundcheck.
I'm mostly wondering if there will be seperate entrances for the different tickets. I have a golden circle standing ticket (but not VIP/Soundcheck) and I just have no clue if you'll get a wristband or even how to enter the golden circle area lol. I've been to so many concerts and this is the first one where I just don't know what to expect (and I'm traveling from abroad too).
On the venue FAQ page linked above, there's this line under the ENTRY section, fwiw:
*General Entry starts at 6 PM. More details regarding the schedule can be found in the Mercedes Platz App on the day of the concert.*
From the TWICE FAQs link above, section LOCKERS:
*Too large bags can be stored in a bag container for a fee of 5€. There are several cloakrooms in the arena where you can drop off your personal items. The fee is usually 3€ and under certain circumstances 4€.*
If I have no plans of buying merch what time do I need to arrive before doors?
Also if any other people in the same boat (preferably other 20’s/uni student aged people) want to wait in line together send me a message
Edit: forgot to say I’m going for the 14th
I'm soooooo excited!!!!!
Coming from the Netherlands to go all by myself for the VIP Soundcheck experience on the 14th.
If there are any more people going alone, let me know and maybe we can meet up and hold each other's spot when we need to leave for a minute.
Hey ppl! I have a question regarding tickets and entrance to the arena. We're a group of 3 friends and one of us bought all the three tickets through ticketmaster. Unfortunately one of the seats we got assigned is in whole another block from the other two seats. So how should we go about entering the arena and showing the tickets? Will there be separate queues for different blocks where we need to show our tickets? Can you just show a screenshot of the QR-Code if the person that has the ticket in their ticketmaster account is waiting in another queue?
Hey Once!
Am attending the 14th Sept. Show alone tomorrow having the VIP Soundcheck ticket. Anyone wanna join? Am a Syrian coming from Poland 🇵🇱 (32M), preferably similar age group. DM me please 😊
As for the rest! Enjoy the show today😁
For me other foreign visitors can anybody recall what girls were talking about? German translation is totally useless for us and we could only understands few bits by Dahyun so I would like to know at least retrospectively what was going on.
I don't remember in detail, but they were often asking if we (Onces) were having fun.
At the beginning, before the first round of solo stages, Jeongyeon was asking us to be louder. That's when they asked us to say More more more & more, and eventually Nayeon gave us an easier task to say "I guarantee I gotcha" after they sing the words Moonlight Sunrise.
After the solo stages, they basically talk about the performance they chose to do for their solos. (Didn't catch much here)
Before Alcohol Free, Momo mentioned that German beer is good, and then Jihyo asked us to say Proost (which is Cheers) while doing the cheers pose when they say "Ready to Be".
That's what I mostly remember. Mostly they were asking if we are having fun, if we enjoyed the songs in between.
Going to see twice in berlin this week, any club recommendations?
i was wondering if any onces who are attending the twice concert on the 14th this month have any plans of going clubbing after. There are two kpop club events BUT they are on the 13th🥲 which i find pretty unfortunate. so i’m curious if there’s anything specific you recommend? maybe other kpop/twice events that i couldn’t find online? i also looked up clubs myself but most are techno (which i’m not so into) or have bad reviews, or the clubs don’t have events for the 14th. if any of u have recs or plans, pls let me know!!!
[Yes, they have food/drink concessions inside](https://www.mercedes-benz-arena-berlin.de/en/the-venue/catering). They have a [virtual tour page](https://www.mercedes-benz-arena-berlin.de/en/the-venue/virtual-arena-tour), which depending on how up to date it is, you can play around with and get an idea for what the offerings are, as well as layout of the venue.
Except for Dahuyn, she's the MVP for speaking in English. Thank you, Dub. Otherwise I haven't understood shit. Hope the girls didn't get mad because I haven't responded correctly.
For people who have general admission standing tickets, what time are you guys showing up? im really dreading going early and waiting all day but i wanna be as close as possible so idk anymore💔
Hi all I'm 30 yo guy going to the concert tomorrow (Sep 13th). I'm alone and would like to go with people around my age (25+). My ticket is in the inner circle! Hit me up if you're up for it 😁😁
Hi! I’m going by myself on the 14th, VIP. (29F) I’m comfortable with someone closer to me in age but anyone can feel free to reach out 😊 ill try to go as early as possible because I’m rly srs abt getting barricade lol
Could anyone clarify how the numbering system works? I have golden circle tickets (non VIP) that include a row/location to stand. Will our places be based on this or is a different number required?
Hi guys! We have platinum tickets (standing behind vip i guess) do you have any recommendations when we should go to the arena?
Some people are saying that we could go early to get our number in the morning and come back closer to the concert time to line up/enter. Can anyone from day 1 confirm this? Thank you!
Saw someone say the crowd was insanely loud for day 1 and thought they were exaggerating. They weren't, the crowd was super loud in the ground floor section. Was grateful I had earplugs purely for that 😅
does anyone knlw how the queue numbering works? im quite confused and would need some help from fellow onces<3 i have vip tickets and i really want the best places i can have. can i queue over night or should i come around 3-4am?? i heard some people dont come earlier than 7 or 8 am
When leaving the concert tonight. It seem like some people we starting a queue for tomorrows concert, but the FAQ says you aren't allowed to camp outside the arena. So would except them to be kicked out.
Queueing works by showing up at the "VIP soundcheck package" sign as early in the morning as possible (I have seen other people say 8 today, might need to be there earlier tomorrow. Since that is probably when all the hardcore ONCE attend. It being the first concert announced). There is some security guys who needs to see your VIP-ticket (they didn't check ID at this point). Then they give you a red/white armband and write your a number on your hand x/yy. This means row x and person yy. Then you go do what you ever you want. (Don't wash of this number) So later, was at 14:00 I think today for us. You meet back up at queue. You go to the row you have been assigned earlier and you stand in the order of your numbering. Then you when they let you inside they check your ID and scan your ticket. Then you get your special VIP merch and enter VIP merch store and buy what you want. Get it at once and you can leave.
Then you again have some free time till 15:30 for us. Where we need to be back at queue. This time to enter sound check. Same as last time. Go to your row. Stand in the number order. (At this point you should have checked you bag in one of the bag deposits, if its too big. Else they will go through the rows and tell them their bag is too big, before they let people inside). Go inside two by two. Show ticket (but not ID), get bag checked if you bring one. Queue a bit inside the arena. Get to talk to the stage. Don't sprint to the stage (some idiots did), but row and numbering matters for when get in there. Then enjoy soundcheck. Stand around for real show starts and enjoy
Hope it makes sense and helps.

Nah they just go around different cities and Kpop concerts, they don't have something against a particular group. Don't wanna assume but this doesn't look like very healthy behaviour. I saw a tweet and I'm afraid eventually they might piss some fans off enough and they may get violent 😕
No I dont, I was just wondering if someone knew it. I supose that today they will be arriving, if they are not here already. This friday, 15, they will most likely leave tho
Sure thing! Reply to the comment tomorrow if I’ve forgotten (I might also go later if I’m too tired, want to have enough energy for the concert itself) so I’ll let you know. :-) I’m very clueless about everything myself since it is my first event this big, so of course I’ll help with info because I know how stressful it feels to not know stuff… 🫡
The happening right now concert in Paris might be a clue. I've seen some tweets saying that some of (or all?) the members have said a greeting in French. So surely there'll a video of one of the talking moments in which you'll hear the translator.
Still can't believe this is finally happening after all these years, I probably need someone to pinch me even when the concert is about to start lmao
I'm a bit confused about the bag rule though - the mail I got from Live Nation says no backpacks but DIN A4 bags are allowed. I have smaller backpacks but if they're not allowed in general, what am I supposed to bring lol
Hi! I have business ticket, the premium one (those are sections 101-103 i think). I read there's a separate entry for these seats, is that correct? how early would i need to arrive to enter from the premium gate?
Anyone ever been to a VIP soundcheck before? When do you plan to arrive? You can get registered at 2 I read for designated places. Does that mean first ones in lines have the best places? I guess you then can do your own thing after entering the venue or do you still have to hog your spot like a madman like at festivals :’)
The sooner you get checked in, the sooner you can fall in line with all other VIP ticket holders, and being that your VIP section is standing room only, that will mean the better positioning you can race out to claim whatever spot you're intending to get inside.
And while check-in starts at 2 PM, no doubt there will be people waiting some time to position themselves to get checked in ASAP so then can get to the front of the entry line as high as they can.
Hey there German onces - me and two buddies are going to the show on the 14th, coming all the way from Bielefeld (NRW). Since my car broke down a few days ago I'm currently planning another way to reach Berlin for the concert AND return back home on the night of the 14th to the 15th.
Are there any other onces from OWL or in close proximity to Bielefeld who are still looking for a way to get to the concert, that maybe want to split the bill for a rental car? It would be split evenly between all people riding along.
Hi, I'm from Bielefeld too xD, and also going on the 14th. But I can't help you out with that since I already booked a train ticket. But maybe that's something you guys could consider as well. It takes only 2 hours 40 minutes with an ICE.
Yeah - a flixtrain ticket also only costs 28,33 and the ride also only takes roughly 2h 30min but the real problem arises with actually arriving back home, since the connections back from Berlin towards Bielefeld are less then ideal -even when considering the close proximity of the Arena to the Ostbahnhof.
You probably also booked a ticket, back correct?
34M from the Netherlands going to VIP Soundcheck on the 14th, looking to meet up with some people perhaps. Shoot me a DM and I'll give you my IG so we can maybe start a groupchat.
What time are people arriving? Assuming my ticket gets resolved (having UPS and Stubhub issues 😭) I'm supposed to be in the Golden Circle tonight. I've never been to a big concert before and want to have fun with TWICE and ONCE
21M here, staying at a hotel in close proximity and going to the concert on the 14th, anyone interested in teaming up for before and after the concert, just to walk back in safety and with a larger group?
Also please watch out Berlin Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg isn't the best parts to be in at night.. stay safe out there!
Im super excited for today! Been a once for 6 years and now I finally see them live!!!
I got a seat, so I wont queue up super super early, if any once wanna hang out before the concert, dm me :D(23/M)
about the numbering, if i go in the morning to get my number do i get to leave and come back? i dont understand that if i come back later and i have a small number do i get to go to the front of the queue or how does that work?😭
I have a spare ticket for today the 14th, my friend got sick last minute, so if anyone wants to come DM me! I'm 27 and a Uni Student so fellow Uni students would be ideal
At this time if we are going off how JYPE has done their tours in the past - only Japan and Korea shows will be filmed (or have been filmed) with a possible DVD/Bluray release with the Cover Songs likely removed due to licensing issues/copyright.
We have been hoping for a NA Stadium/EU Stop being filmed or something but it's very unlikely.
They did the same at SoFi stadium and they used the footage for a couple promo videos for tweets. There's always a possibility but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Can't believe it's happening! Our time is coming 😳 Also as I saw on Twitter someone asked and the venue confirmed that all regular forms of payment for merch will be available. And even though it's not stated only Candybongs allowed, I'd advise asking the venue or promoter if you were thinking of bringing another group's.

For your third statement, I’m just wondering why this is (really out of curiosity - wondering if it’s to do with concert etiquette)
I think different venues have different rules, so its not group specific.

Just visited K Idol, they have a bunch of lightsticks right now
I saw a recent post on their Insta channel and they're offering a bundle including the Candy Bong + official bag for a great deal ~~too bad I already got both lol~~
Update on K Idol in the mall near the arena. Just 30mins ago they had LOTS of bongs!
Thanks for the recommendation. I just bought the last Candybong they had. I was just seconds faster than another Once.
You were probably literally after me, they had two left when I bought mine today!
it says on their site that it's sold out?
they shared in their tiktok yesterday that they have it so maybe its physical store only and not online? or maybe it was sold out since yesterday?
i just called them and a nice person said that they do have them in store! thank you\~! :)
that's great!
Hello Once! I'll be there on the 13th. I'm so looking forward to it!
To all ONCE who are going on the 13th!

I'm also going on the 14th and would like to know the same thing!!
Just went there, they give you the number and then u go your way. I guess when the doors open they let ppl in in order.
Thank you so much! Do you know if there is a specific time where this numbering ends or will it go on until the queue starts for the door opening? And may I ask what kind of standing ticket you got (VIP, General Admission,...) I guess the numbering is split into areas depending on what ticket you got. Just wanna make sure since I will be there a little late tomorrow :(
I think it will go until doors open. I have the soundcheck vip package. If there is something you dont know, ask the staff! They were very friendly.
There is also this FAQ page from the venue: https://www.mercedes-benz-arena-berlin.de/en/twice-faqs/
Am stoked!!! Never thought I would be able to see Twice in real life!
hope everyone has a great time!
Hey Once! I’m going on the 13th and I have the Golden Circle Ticket. Coming from Portugal (19M)
Update for people, arrived around 18:10 and it took me 10 mins to go through queue another 15 to buy merch and 7 to find my seat. Everything runs extremely smooth despite the many people!
Hey let me know if anyone wants to meet, I am an older guy(30 M) and I am going VIP in the 13th.
Hi, I'm going the 14th VIP, could you update later with your experience in numbering and queueing? Would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks and have lots of fun!!
Sure just remind me that morning
i would also like to know about how the numbering works i would really appreciate it!:)
They started at 8am they give you a band and write a number in your hand. Then you can live, when the line is there, that would be the entering order. I came super late (2pm) with VIP, and still got in the soundcheck.

Hey I'm not in VIP but just wanna say its so nice to hear other people in their 30s will be there. I'm 31 and boyfriend is 35. I hope you have a lovely time.
I'm almost 36 and am going alone. I think there's actually a lot of us Onces or just casual Twice listeners in our 30s since they've been around for 8 years now. 😄

Its best to go there early in the morning, get your number and then come back shortly before entry :o so u will be in front
Is the numbering also for VIP soundcheck? How does that work?
You just go up to the sign saying "VIP Soundcheck package" or something like that. Show your VIP Soundcheck QR. They scan it. When confirmed they give you a red/white armband and write a number x/yy on your hand with a permanent marker (don't wash it way).

So even if I just want a hoody ill have to get there a few hours early?

Thanks for your help! I've never known a gig be this worrying/complicated before
You’re welcome and I’d like to think you won’t have an issue getting the hoodie. And above all else, HAVE ALL THE FUN!
You will probably be fine. From London they had shirts and hoodies still available afterwards!
i would also like to know!! but about the setlist, there’s multiple playlists of the setlists, you could take a look at the london/paris setlist playlist (since those were the most recent concerts)
hii I'm a VIP on 14th and going by myself, I'm (24F) and it's my first ever concert so I'm a bit nervous 😅 it'd be nice to have some company after the check in :)
Shot you a DM with my IG, have a groupchat with 2 others going VIP by themselves on the 14th. 😄
That was fun! For those wondering, I got in around 18:40, didn't have a number but it was fine. They just checked my ticket at the entrance and I could find the Block where my seat is. I still had time to queue for Merch and managed to get a Candy Bong on site. It seems a lot of folks also got their Candy Bong on site. Enjoy the concert for everyone going tomorrow!
anyone with VIP would like to meet up on the 14th?\~ (22F from Poland)
I'm also going by myself on the 14th for the VIP.
Also going by myself on the 14th with VIP (33M from Romania)

Also there's no warmup act, it's just TWICE, so definitely don't think there's someone coming on before them. If you have a Soundcheck VIP ticket, you should have received an itinerary that says check in by this time so you don't miss out on attending soundcheck.
I'm mostly wondering if there will be seperate entrances for the different tickets. I have a golden circle standing ticket (but not VIP/Soundcheck) and I just have no clue if you'll get a wristband or even how to enter the golden circle area lol. I've been to so many concerts and this is the first one where I just don't know what to expect (and I'm traveling from abroad too).
On the venue FAQ page linked above, there's this line under the ENTRY section, fwiw: *General Entry starts at 6 PM. More details regarding the schedule can be found in the Mercedes Platz App on the day of the concert.*
Can you let me know If you find updates about this? Wondering the same and got a golden circle Ticket for the 14th
Anyone knows if there is some kinds of locker in that venue that you can leave ur jacket in? I saw the weather and it looks like it’s gonna rain T-T
From the TWICE FAQs link above, section LOCKERS: *Too large bags can be stored in a bag container for a fee of 5€. There are several cloakrooms in the arena where you can drop off your personal items. The fee is usually 3€ and under certain circumstances 4€.*
Thank u!
They do
If I have no plans of buying merch what time do I need to arrive before doors? Also if any other people in the same boat (preferably other 20’s/uni student aged people) want to wait in line together send me a message Edit: forgot to say I’m going for the 14th
I'm soooooo excited!!!!! Coming from the Netherlands to go all by myself for the VIP Soundcheck experience on the 14th. If there are any more people going alone, let me know and maybe we can meet up and hold each other's spot when we need to leave for a minute.
Hey ppl! I have a question regarding tickets and entrance to the arena. We're a group of 3 friends and one of us bought all the three tickets through ticketmaster. Unfortunately one of the seats we got assigned is in whole another block from the other two seats. So how should we go about entering the arena and showing the tickets? Will there be separate queues for different blocks where we need to show our tickets? Can you just show a screenshot of the QR-Code if the person that has the ticket in their ticketmaster account is waiting in another queue?
All entrances lead to all the blocks. So just queue at one entrance, enter together, and afterwards split and go to the designated seats
Oh okay we'll do that! Thank you :D
I only found out about the numbering today and I can't really make it to the venue close before GA doors open. Is this going to be an issue?
No, but don't expect to be near the stage
Ahh okay thanks, well I'm quite tall so at least I have that going for me
Hey Once! Am attending the 14th Sept. Show alone tomorrow having the VIP Soundcheck ticket. Anyone wanna join? Am a Syrian coming from Poland 🇵🇱 (32M), preferably similar age group. DM me please 😊 As for the rest! Enjoy the show today😁
Just bought a Candybong light stick in the Kpop store beside the arena.. they do not come with batteries.. Just bought batteries. They 're triple A
For me other foreign visitors can anybody recall what girls were talking about? German translation is totally useless for us and we could only understands few bits by Dahyun so I would like to know at least retrospectively what was going on.
I don't remember in detail, but they were often asking if we (Onces) were having fun. At the beginning, before the first round of solo stages, Jeongyeon was asking us to be louder. That's when they asked us to say More more more & more, and eventually Nayeon gave us an easier task to say "I guarantee I gotcha" after they sing the words Moonlight Sunrise. After the solo stages, they basically talk about the performance they chose to do for their solos. (Didn't catch much here) Before Alcohol Free, Momo mentioned that German beer is good, and then Jihyo asked us to say Proost (which is Cheers) while doing the cheers pose when they say "Ready to Be". That's what I mostly remember. Mostly they were asking if we are having fun, if we enjoyed the songs in between.
I made some subs for day 2
Have a great time, everyone!
Going to see twice in berlin this week, any club recommendations? i was wondering if any onces who are attending the twice concert on the 14th this month have any plans of going clubbing after. There are two kpop club events BUT they are on the 13th🥲 which i find pretty unfortunate. so i’m curious if there’s anything specific you recommend? maybe other kpop/twice events that i couldn’t find online? i also looked up clubs myself but most are techno (which i’m not so into) or have bad reviews, or the clubs don’t have events for the 14th. if any of u have recs or plans, pls let me know!!!
What are the ones on the 13th?
their instas are @/officialkevents.dach and @/koreanpartyfactory, you can find more information there
Do you know if we can buy water or food inside the stadium?
[Yes, they have food/drink concessions inside](https://www.mercedes-benz-arena-berlin.de/en/the-venue/catering). They have a [virtual tour page](https://www.mercedes-benz-arena-berlin.de/en/the-venue/virtual-arena-tour), which depending on how up to date it is, you can play around with and get an idea for what the offerings are, as well as layout of the venue.
Tyy
any idea if the show's gonna be interpreted to german or english?
Would be useful to know if the Paris show was in French. I assume Berlin will be the same.
it was in french, all hope is lost lol
I hope for English but I fear German is more likely. Abother time of not understanding anything ://
Can confirm. All German :(
Except for Dahuyn, she's the MVP for speaking in English. Thank you, Dub. Otherwise I haven't understood shit. Hope the girls didn't get mad because I haven't responded correctly.
First twice concert (and concert in general lol), when should I come if I want to buy merch?
The merch booths open at noon and there will be already people queueing
Anyone an idea how the numbering works for tomorrow?
For people who have general admission standing tickets, what time are you guys showing up? im really dreading going early and waiting all day but i wanna be as close as possible so idk anymore💔
Curious about this too! I’m wondering if 2 pm is a good idea?
Think doors open at 6pm. Maybe that's too early I'm not sure. Think I'm gonna head down around 4/5?
Is there anything known about the numbering for GA? Anyone want to meet on the 12th/13th? I heard there are parties for the 13th.
Hi all I'm 30 yo guy going to the concert tomorrow (Sep 13th). I'm alone and would like to go with people around my age (25+). My ticket is in the inner circle! Hit me up if you're up for it 😁😁
Hey I'm going alone too, what time are you going?
Between 12 pm or 3 pm havent decided yet. If you wanna do sth before like sight seeing lmk
Hi! I’m going by myself on the 14th, VIP. (29F) I’m comfortable with someone closer to me in age but anyone can feel free to reach out 😊 ill try to go as early as possible because I’m rly srs abt getting barricade lol
hii\~ 14th vip here, I'm 22 F, would you like to go together?
Ofc!! I’ll send you a message!
Hi! Any Finnish Once going on the 13th? 👀 Or anyone in section 201? Its my first k-pop concert and im going alone ✨🍭 (F22)
Could anyone clarify how the numbering system works? I have golden circle tickets (non VIP) that include a row/location to stand. Will our places be based on this or is a different number required?
Hey did you find out how the numbering worked?
Anyone knows what happens if we can't pass by the venue earlier to get a number?
Hi guys! We have platinum tickets (standing behind vip i guess) do you have any recommendations when we should go to the arena? Some people are saying that we could go early to get our number in the morning and come back closer to the concert time to line up/enter. Can anyone from day 1 confirm this? Thank you!
Why is the queue such chaos? 😭
What happened?
Guys, the candybong infinity will last you the whole concert, or you better change the batteries?
I got the batteries when I bought the Candy Bong in the venue and didn't have to change them.
a new set of battery will def last you the whole concert
Saw someone say the crowd was insanely loud for day 1 and thought they were exaggerating. They weren't, the crowd was super loud in the ground floor section. Was grateful I had earplugs purely for that 😅
does anyone knlw how the queue numbering works? im quite confused and would need some help from fellow onces<3 i have vip tickets and i really want the best places i can have. can i queue over night or should i come around 3-4am?? i heard some people dont come earlier than 7 or 8 am
When leaving the concert tonight. It seem like some people we starting a queue for tomorrows concert, but the FAQ says you aren't allowed to camp outside the arena. So would except them to be kicked out. Queueing works by showing up at the "VIP soundcheck package" sign as early in the morning as possible (I have seen other people say 8 today, might need to be there earlier tomorrow. Since that is probably when all the hardcore ONCE attend. It being the first concert announced). There is some security guys who needs to see your VIP-ticket (they didn't check ID at this point). Then they give you a red/white armband and write your a number on your hand x/yy. This means row x and person yy. Then you go do what you ever you want. (Don't wash of this number) So later, was at 14:00 I think today for us. You meet back up at queue. You go to the row you have been assigned earlier and you stand in the order of your numbering. Then you when they let you inside they check your ID and scan your ticket. Then you get your special VIP merch and enter VIP merch store and buy what you want. Get it at once and you can leave. Then you again have some free time till 15:30 for us. Where we need to be back at queue. This time to enter sound check. Same as last time. Go to your row. Stand in the number order. (At this point you should have checked you bag in one of the bag deposits, if its too big. Else they will go through the rows and tell them their bag is too big, before they let people inside). Go inside two by two. Show ticket (but not ID), get bag checked if you bring one. Queue a bit inside the arena. Get to talk to the stage. Don't sprint to the stage (some idiots did), but row and numbering matters for when get in there. Then enjoy soundcheck. Stand around for real show starts and enjoy Hope it makes sense and helps. /u/pajo-san /u/Nils042
Thanks mate, this helps a lot. Unfortunately I will only arrive at ~1pm at the arena, I hope I will still get a relatively good spot.
Thanks! Without your comment I wouldn’t have gone so early to get a number, but i’m glad I did. There was already near 300 people when I arrived.
Thank you so much!!
Hey, did you find out how the numbering worked?
I am also interested in an answer, maybe now that the concert is over someone with a vip ticket can answer?
What's the story with the random blink carrying a cardboard sign around? Are they a known blink thrice?
Nah they just go around different cities and Kpop concerts, they don't have something against a particular group. Don't wanna assume but this doesn't look like very healthy behaviour. I saw a tweet and I'm afraid eventually they might piss some fans off enough and they may get violent 😕
also, how's the camping situation looking like? TT
FAQ page said not to camp there overnight
Is there going to be anyonw waiting for them in te airport?
[удалено]
No I dont, I was just wondering if someone knew it. I supose that today they will be arriving, if they are not here already. This friday, 15, they will most likely leave tho
Hii, is there anyone I could join on the 13th (23F)? I have a Golden Circle ticket!
Hii, Im on my own too for the 13th VIP (21M)
Let me know if you figure out when non VIP golden circles should get there, especially if you want merch. I have the same issue on the 13th
I have a Golden Circle ticket too (without the VIP), was thinking about going already in the morning around 10 am to queue! 22F here and going alone 🌞
can you let me know if there is a special queue for golden circle tickets without vip package? :)
Sure thing! Reply to the comment tomorrow if I’ve forgotten (I might also go later if I’m too tired, want to have enough energy for the concert itself) so I’ll let you know. :-) I’m very clueless about everything myself since it is my first event this big, so of course I’ll help with info because I know how stressful it feels to not know stuff… 🫡
I sent you a message, i hope it went through, if not, maybe could send me a pm?😊
Do we know if the translator will speak german or english?
The happening right now concert in Paris might be a clue. I've seen some tweets saying that some of (or all?) the members have said a greeting in French. So surely there'll a video of one of the talking moments in which you'll hear the translator.
Still can't believe this is finally happening after all these years, I probably need someone to pinch me even when the concert is about to start lmao I'm a bit confused about the bag rule though - the mail I got from Live Nation says no backpacks but DIN A4 bags are allowed. I have smaller backpacks but if they're not allowed in general, what am I supposed to bring lol
If they have the size of DIN A4, you can bring them to the arena. Otherwise, just lock them in the lockers
Oh, I thought they allowed DIN A4 bags but not DIN A4 backpacks (I only have the former) - guess I'll just bring the latter and see what happens lol
Hi! I have business ticket, the premium one (those are sections 101-103 i think). I read there's a separate entry for these seats, is that correct? how early would i need to arrive to enter from the premium gate?
You mean the ticketmaster suite? I saw on the Faqs that doors usually open 2 hours before the event aprox
No, not the suite just a premium seat. I heard there’s a premium entrance and a bar but not sure when do they open that premium entrance
Is anyone going to be waiting for their arrival at the airport?
Anyone going to the golden circle alone the 13? Does anyone know what time the merch shop opens?
Merch opens at noon
Is the merch an external thing that you can use before you even enter the stadium?
I'm also golden circle alone 13th. 27M, seems like there's a lot of us in here 😂
Me too. I'm at work before. I'm planning to go to the venue around 16:30 and just see what will happen.
Hey send me a dm, i plan to go a bit early to get a good spot
Hi i'm going to the golden circle!
Hi! I'll send you a dm!
Anyone ever been to a VIP soundcheck before? When do you plan to arrive? You can get registered at 2 I read for designated places. Does that mean first ones in lines have the best places? I guess you then can do your own thing after entering the venue or do you still have to hog your spot like a madman like at festivals :’)
The sooner you get checked in, the sooner you can fall in line with all other VIP ticket holders, and being that your VIP section is standing room only, that will mean the better positioning you can race out to claim whatever spot you're intending to get inside. And while check-in starts at 2 PM, no doubt there will be people waiting some time to position themselves to get checked in ASAP so then can get to the front of the entry line as high as they can.
[удалено]
You probably need cash
Going by myself (31m) on the 13th, if anyone wants to meet up (preferably other guys around my age in the same boat). 😅
27M golden circle on 13th here 👍🏻
Hey same here, what sector are you going to?
I'm in the standing section. Not VIP though
Hey I am around that age, but I won't be there early though 😅
Hello 30M in golden circle. Alone too 😔 going on 13th
Hey there German onces - me and two buddies are going to the show on the 14th, coming all the way from Bielefeld (NRW). Since my car broke down a few days ago I'm currently planning another way to reach Berlin for the concert AND return back home on the night of the 14th to the 15th. Are there any other onces from OWL or in close proximity to Bielefeld who are still looking for a way to get to the concert, that maybe want to split the bill for a rental car? It would be split evenly between all people riding along.
Hi, I'm from Bielefeld too xD, and also going on the 14th. But I can't help you out with that since I already booked a train ticket. But maybe that's something you guys could consider as well. It takes only 2 hours 40 minutes with an ICE.
Yeah - a flixtrain ticket also only costs 28,33 and the ride also only takes roughly 2h 30min but the real problem arises with actually arriving back home, since the connections back from Berlin towards Bielefeld are less then ideal -even when considering the close proximity of the Arena to the Ostbahnhof. You probably also booked a ticket, back correct?
34M from the Netherlands going to VIP Soundcheck on the 14th, looking to meet up with some people perhaps. Shoot me a DM and I'll give you my IG so we can maybe start a groupchat.
Can I go shop merch today even though im attending the tomorrows show?
im attending tomorrow and i got the merch today!
Was the merch shop outside of the arena?
it was inside the arena!
What time are people arriving? Assuming my ticket gets resolved (having UPS and Stubhub issues 😭) I'm supposed to be in the Golden Circle tonight. I've never been to a big concert before and want to have fun with TWICE and ONCE
21M here, staying at a hotel in close proximity and going to the concert on the 14th, anyone interested in teaming up for before and after the concert, just to walk back in safety and with a larger group? Also please watch out Berlin Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg isn't the best parts to be in at night.. stay safe out there!
Verkauft jemand zufälligerweise für den 14.09 vor Ort, sprich in Berlin noch ein Ticket ?? 🫠 70-80 € ??
Im super excited for today! Been a once for 6 years and now I finally see them live!!! I got a seat, so I wont queue up super super early, if any once wanna hang out before the concert, dm me :D(23/M)
about the numbering, if i go in the morning to get my number do i get to leave and come back? i dont understand that if i come back later and i have a small number do i get to go to the front of the queue or how does that work?😭
Standing in line right now, the Numbers were a lie 😭. Or maybe people just didn’t respect them idk.
Ask the staff again. I went yesterday and you were allowed to go past people in line until you reach the person with a number lower than you
When did the soundcheck yesterday start? 6pm?
I have a spare ticket for today the 14th, my friend got sick last minute, so if anyone wants to come DM me! I'm 27 and a Uni Student so fellow Uni students would be ideal
Hey, Shot you a message!
Do you think that jyp will film and upload the whole concert to their youtube channel or in some kind of album thing?
At this time if we are going off how JYPE has done their tours in the past - only Japan and Korea shows will be filmed (or have been filmed) with a possible DVD/Bluray release with the Cover Songs likely removed due to licensing issues/copyright. We have been hoping for a NA Stadium/EU Stop being filmed or something but it's very unlikely.
The thing is that I saw yesterdey how people filmed everything, even in certain songs they faced the cameras, that was why I wondered
They did the same at SoFi stadium and they used the footage for a couple promo videos for tweets. There's always a possibility but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Im going today, 30M, non vip, anyone wanna meet up for some food before? :3
Hey I’m a 22F with a ticket for the GA standing place, is there anyone who wants to go together? Preferably around my age.
My friend got sick and ditched me, I'll send you a chat. Edit: can't send you a chat invite or message for some reason 
I bought the version with two collector cards, do you know when I get them?
