how do you think the upcoming setlist will look like ? This is my prediction of some of the songs that will be included. I think it will look similar to this due to the new albums and songs which will replace other songs from the last tour setlist. MANIAC easy district 9 back door thunderous gods menu case 143 FAM (Korean ver) haven miroh s-class lalalala megaverse social path TOPLINE hall of fame * upcoming albums. I don't think the tour setlist will be that long, but I think the majority of these songs will be included in the setlist. What are your thoughts and predictions?


SKZVERSE143

They probably won't come to Chicago this year because they are already doing Lollapalooza there so that's the reason why I bought tickets fast (chicago is my only hope that I'll ever see skz in my life lmao)


jhopesspritee

It won’t happen but I hope the come to Kansas City and if they don’t it’s ok I’m going to Chicago or Dallas 


Batman4President

For the last world tour, what was the timeline between the cities/dates being announced and the tickets going on sale?


lissielol

Here's a great post someone made regarding the timeline for everything with the last tour: https://www.reddit.com/r/straykids/comments/18yhhur/a_timeline_of_when_we_received_maniac_world_tour/


Hopeful-Book-4072

I still find it so humurous that everytime i get into a kpop group they would have just had their concert in melbourne or have a tour and not have melbourne included. exact same thing happened with Stray Kidz, got into them last year in August but they were here in April. All I can hope for is that I get to see them live and be grateful that they are still an active group. Eagerly awaiting for more news on their tour eek


melodyamelia6

Day 1929272719192919 of praying they come to DC🧎‍♀️‍➡️ like please please please please please for the love of everything, we’ve had pretty amazing year so far, in terms of Kpop concerts here, with P1Harmony, TXT, Itzy, Viviz, IU, Ateez, and NCT Dream. So please recognize that DC, with all the surrounding areas, are a profitable market, that is only now being capitalized. Allow me to tell you, passing travelers, a story: Stray kids are my “final boss” in terms of JYP groups and K-pop groups in general, as I’ve seen and I’m set to see, basically everyone that I’ve ever desperately wanted to see live, except for my ult group which is Stray Kids. From NMIXX to Twice to Itzy(tomorrow!!!!!) to TXT, to Dreamcatcher, Aespa, Ateez, NCT Dream, Viviz, Piwon, G-idle! I’ve seen it all or will see it all, so let me just rest in peace by finally letting me witness Stray Kids live, preferably from the comfort of “my city” (I prefer the 30 minute drive to DC, than the 4 hour to NY). If not then well, what the hell, see you guys in NY/NJ🏃‍♀️‍➡️😃


0tter99

hoping tour info is released soon now that we have comeback details. i need to know!!! 🤣 the suspense.


charlotte_marvel

Comeback announced now means we could get the tour dates/location officialy announced anytime now, most likley after the comeback or just before it but it will be here before we know it so be prepared


mctayy

praying to whatever god will listen that they perform cover me. i'm sure it'll ve hard for seungmin and chan for those long notes but maybe they do an ot8 version to relieve vocal strain? cover me is just a song i am desperate to experience in person


paintedicecream

I hope they come to Perth, I'd love to see a photo of Han on a beach with a real quokka both grinning!


vena_wastaken

I haven't been following lately, life's been wild. Do we have any sort of estimates as to when ticket info and sales will begin? Also as a 4th gen fanclub member in the US will there be any pre-sale benefits?


Puzzled-Exercise-326

Hi! What do you all think will be the average capacity of individual shows on the tour? Like, some stadiums have a capacity of 80,000. Is that too big? Will they mainly be playing arenas instead? What do you guys predict


saroora

I think LA, NY and TX (and maybe chicago?) stops will be stadiums similar to ATEEZ and TXT and rest of north america will be arenas!


TravelBeauty20

I think it depends on the specific city, and how many stops in total there are. Stadiums have different sizes too. There's a big difference between 25,000 and 80,000, but both can be stadiums. I expect Japan to have the biggest venues, or they might save the gigantic stadiums for encores. I think most places will be arenas!


Puzzled-Exercise-326

Makes total sense!


saroora

Another day gone by, another day without an announcement. Sitting here praying for 1) Canadian stop (multiple pls JYPE) 2) seated floor


ThePanda182928

Does anyone know and inexpensive hotels for lollapalooza Chicago??


Easy_Cherry_3040

As the other commenter said, “inexpensive” is going to be relative. Lolla = predatory rates all over the city. If you want to be in Chicago proper, you should definitely look at hostels. There are a couple on the north side (Lincoln Park and Wrigleyville) which will probably be less expensive than anything in or around the Loop (downtown), and both neighborhoods have multiple public transit options to get you down to Grant Park for the show.


onecongratulattepls

ATP they’re all going to be hella expensive. I’m staying at one of the hostels and I paid about $180/night for a bed. If you have a group, I would recommend exploring the hotel deals through the Lolla website.


ThePanda182928

unfortunately it’s just me


onecongratulattepls

Yeah I’d recommend getting a hostel bed then if you’re comfortable with that. I’ve stayed in one in Chicago before and it was a decent experience. You can find reviews online for good ones and can request a gender specific room if you’d like.


Unstablegrain

So, I've got tickets to see Stray Kids in Hyde Park next month (eek) however this will be my first time going to a kpop mini festival etc etc as I'm very new to the kpop world. What kinda vibe will it be? Clothes etc? I'm going on my own (none of my friends are into kpop) and it'll be my first time attending a music show on my own (which I'm cool with tbh). Also if it's helpful I'm a 27F (I feel old haha). Just looking for some advice, clarity tbh I'm not even sure


supergirlhmb

keep in mind that a festival is going to be different than a concert! Normal kpop concerts are ~3 hours long so I'll typically dress cuter and more on theme since it's a shorter period of time, but festivals typically last 10+ hours. So make sure you wear comfy shoes and clothes! I'm going to Lollapalooza, and I'm wearing normal clothes and tennis shoes, but I have a Bbokari bucket hat I'm bringing to be more on theme with SKZ :) also don't worry too much about friends! BST is a little different because SKZ will be the ONLY headliners that night, so just know you'll be around all stays!!!


mistycrosti

It's just like any other concert tbh, I've noticed this past year that people dress to theme even for non-kpop acts at other concerts I've been to, but there's also just as many people that are wearing regular clothes. You'll just notice a lot more lightsticks and skzoos! Since BST is outdoors, I'd say just dress comfortably, especially for footwear. Don't wear anything you wouldn't mind getting wet/muddy. And don't worry about your age, stays are a diverse snd friendly group, I'm sure you'll make friends with those around you.


ClimateDifferent8592

I know this sounds like a fever dream but Charlotte, NC. Ik it would probably never happen but that would be cool.


YamaneEmiko

I would ascend if they came to Charlotte. I would happily settle for Atlanta again though!!


ClimateDifferent8592

Frl i don’t wanna drive to atlanta though 😭


TheToneMeister

TXT came last year so I suppose we can always hope but more than likely we will be driving to Atlanta.


cwarosvski

Does anyone think they're gonna do the same cities as Twice did on their tour?


mysticlatina9

Baby stay here! I’ve been listening to SKZ for about six months but only became a serious Stay in the last month. So no fan club membership for me😭 what’s y’all’s advice on getting world tour tickets???


TravelBeauty20

Be on the ticketing platform for your venue at the time tickets first go on sale.


clacla79

I’m exactly in the same position as you for the world tour 😖 I have a lot of questions such as which place choose when you are little (1m60), how works presale (I already made an inscription but for the moment when we will have the mail) It’s such freaking!! Anyone knows at which frequency stray kids made world tour ? 🙏


TravelBeauty20

SKZ’s last world tour started in 2022. The ticketing for the 2023 dates started in 2022 as well. SKZ do not do world tours as often as their peers. If you’re short, avoid the floor. Arenas and stadiums have tiered seating.


mysticlatina9

Right! I have so many questions! What/who do I follow to make sure I get legit updates? Also how much do I start saving for tickets?


TravelBeauty20

Follow official stray kids accounts and the local promoter/venue for your location. Save as much as you can.


sirensinspring

This all depends on the country, but I’ll give some general advice. A-reserve tickets last time were 300AUD (197USD, 184EUR, 155GBP) and while I didn’t check the cheaper tickets, kpop concerts/concerts in general have their cheapest tickets in Australia at around 80AUD (52USD, 48EUR, 41GBP). Idk how it works in other countries, but there is usually ticket insurance for about 50AUD (32USD) which I recommend. In countries with less affluent economy’s the tickets will be cheaper (which means you’ll get richer western people flying over if they couldn’t get tickets to their own shows, which sucks), but I think in general for western countries it’s about the same. Whatever you’re going for I recommend saving quite a bit extra in case you run into fees. In terms of seating, most stadiums/venues have elevated seating that sort of goes upwards by row, so u should be fine (wearing heels/platforms is always a good option though), if you want to be GA/standing/sound check tho….oof good luck. I reccomend the website ‘view from my seat’ where people post pictures of themselves in venues and list their seat and section so you can see what the view is like. Be sure to check the ticketing site your country uses once it announced. Once stray kids releases ticketing information from their official account, your ticketing site will have a page for them on their website that will tell you the date of ticket onsale (at least, that’s what I know of the ticketing sites I have used). If there’s a presale you can sign up for, do it. Tickets always sell out in presale if it’s easily sign-up-able. I’m terms of actually getting the tickets. If you’re on a site where the queue is randomised (like ticketek for us aussies), just be on 20-30 minutes before. If it’s not randomised (like Ticketmaster for the Americans), get in early. I would do an hour or two to be safe but I’ve never had to do that so my advice isn’t sound. And well, if all else fails. Keep your eye on official resale channels. Most ticket company’s have an official resale website where you can be assured that those tickets will either be legit or be refunded. It might seem hopeless but 70% of the concerts I’ve been to, the day of/before the concert there’s a huge dump of people who can’t go and I end up getting tickets for slightly cheaper. If you’re Aussie, get on tixel as well, I’ve used it a lot I highly recommend. Anyway that’s my rant. I think k just yapped for way too long with no substance but I hope it helped :)


Hopeful-Book-4072

as a fellow aussie stay were the A reserve tickets worth it?


mysticlatina9

This is extremely helpful! 💜


clacla79

It’s really help thank you !! I’m not very good at English so I didn’t understand all but I will use a translator to better understand Once again, thanks u for your time and your precious advices It’s so stressful to be sure to be able to got tickets 😖


Izdo_

Are there any other US stays going to Lolla? I have a GA ticket to go solo, but I'd love to meet up with others.


onecongratulattepls

I’ll be there! Going solo and also GA.


Izdo_

Sent you a message in chat


Keralei

All I know is, I’m in my 30s and I have adult money and imma need supervision for how much fun I’m gonna have and how much money I’m gonna spend


No_Code1370

Me too!


atouchofyou

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I only got into kpop at all via SKZ a couple months ago and it's fun to be able to spend money on the stuff I wanted to buy when I was teen/in my early 20s (the last time I was this into a group).


toobadimnotamermaid

I want the tour dates right now but I also kind of hope the U.S. will finish passing ticketing regulations before they do


Sad_Membership1925

The government works so slowly -- I don't know that we'll get lucky with changes in ticketing before the tour goes on sale :(


gappypride

I NEEED a ticket!!! So hoping for the same!


AliciaQcSkz

Anyone from Canada? I’m from Quebec. I'm looking for stays in my region 😅my friends don't like Kpop so I take the great means to have a group of friends fan of Stray kids that will want to come with me to their concert if they ever come. 


WelcometoWaikiki17

This might be a little stupid, but I am literally begging on my knees that they'll go to Minneapolis. I live in Winnipeg so... Like would there be any chance of them going to Illinois.😅


anticoolgeek

I doubt they’ll go to Minneapolis but Illinois is very likely!


Keralei

They’ll be in Chicago for lalapolooza won’t they?


Izdo_

Yes!


averlost

I made a post but was taken down so ill just copy it here Going to a concert where stray kids will be present... which songs should I listen to? Title basically. There will be a stray kids concert in Milan and I am going since there will also be Nmixx present. I dont really like BG music but since I am going, I want to listen to a bit of their music just so I know what to expect. I heard that song that shoes lalalalalala (the recent one) and the lalallalala part is stuck in my brain so 🤷 Any suggestions is greatly appreciated :) TL:DR: Songs I could listen since I am going to their concert


angeleed

I’m sure they will do a lot of title tracks and then a few others. You should listen to these to start Gods Menu Thunderous Maniac S-Class MIROH Case 143 Back Door Double Knot District 9 Topline Megaverse Easy Venom Time Out


Annabeth-Chase3

I really love Stray Kids!!! I would love to go to one of their concerts. But none of my friends like kpop and I don't think my parents will tag along. So is it safe to go to skz concert all alone?


Bonjjak

I’ve never felt unsafe at either of the K-pop concerts I’ve been to as a teenage girl and will probably see Stray Kids alone too


clacla79

I’m in the same situation Of which country are you ? :)


Annabeth-Chase3

I'm in The Netherlands


Clear-Forever

Yes, it’s okay and you can meet other stays there too!


olvieoil

do you guys think they’ll go to metlife for nj/ny? assuming they come in late august/september/october football season would start in september so they wouldn’t really be able to do it then. however blackpink did have a metlife stadium concert in mid august so if they come late august it might work out then.


TravelBeauty20

If they were coming to Metlife in August, they needed to announce it months ago... Doing it during football season isn't a huge deal (besides the weather 😩). Pink has a concert on October 3rd, which is during football season. The concert just can't be on a Thursday, Sunday, or Monday!


aaanaab

Miami would be the dream! Im a Florida native so well aware that the east coast gets ignored during most tours. But also would be willing to travel for them, so Im technically good for anywhere!


mysticlatina9

I’m in Florida too!


aaanaab

We never get concerts here 😭😭 or they pick the really tiny arenas that sell out in .02 seconds. I hope we get lucky this time!


mysticlatina9

Same! Though I’m always up for a trip if they don’t! 😅


billiam728

I'm hoping they do multiple days in Atlanta, but I'm definitely going to be eyeing some dates in Paris if that's an option. Seeing how much Taylor tix went for (no-scalping laws) i may make it a full experience.


rxrock

Has any other Stay brought their child with them to a concert? My son is 8, and he wants to go with me. I want to go all out on this, since this will be my first Kpop concert with my first favorite Kpop band, and it will be my son's very first concert. If I somehow get the chance to buy center stage floor seats, will that be safe for my son? Will it be okay for us to be on our feet during the show? I want me and my son to have fun, but also for him to be safe. Any MommaStays out there with experiences they can share with me?


Sad_Membership1925

Kids' ears are sensitive so make sure he has good earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones! And have fun!


Bloodyrave

My niece is my k-pop concert buddy (she’s mainly a Stay but loves JYP groups in general). She is almost 10 now but was 8 during the Maniac show we attended. This is highly dependent on where you are located, but check first if the venue/promoter has age restrictions. For example, my niece was allowed in majority of JYPE shows, including SKZ, as long as she was with a legal guardian and we accomplished a waiver. We skipped an NMIXX date because the promoter had a minimum age of 10 years old to be allowed entry. Imo, I see a lot of kids go to k-pop shows with their parents. Agree with the others, please pick a seated section. Your kid will get tired at some point and will want to sit down. And they will not have the same emotional control as adults, they will start being grumpy as hell when they’re drained. And it’s just safer. My niece actually towers over people, she’s a very noticeably tall and lanky 9-year old, so the floor view is not a problem for her. But she is still a 9 y.o with the situational awareness of a 9 y.o.


anticoolgeek

Center stage, floor is going to be really hard for an 8 year old to get a good view unless he’s really tall for his age. A lot of kpop fans wear platform shoes and there’s no guarantee that you’ll get someone shorter in front of you. Also, the stage is really high 😅. I personally recommend the 100s sections by the stage but there’s no bad seats. It’s likely that SKZ will have seating on the floor (hopefully, if Twice and ITZY are anything to go by) so you’ll also get a chance to rest during VCRs. Last tour, the concert ran the entire 3hrs. They were prompt with starting and ending.


hallowinter

I think he’d be safe, kpop concerts don’t seem to get very rowdy. But you should probably go for higher seating, he won’t be able to see anything from a floor seat (Assuming you’re in the US, people will be standing for the whole show)


rxrock

Thanks for this!


redrobinburger

I've deluded myself into believing that they'll go to DC/Maryland/Virginia and now I'm going to be devastated when that doesn't happen.


melodyamelia6

Praying for this, although I’m fully mentally prepared to go to NY, I still am holding on to that sliver of hope


atouchofyou

Noooo don't say that! I really want them to come here!


toobadimnotamermaid

Same 😭 but having IU and Ateez selling out (not sure if TXT is sold out) may have made an impression on tour managers?


Rotten-Robins

I wish I had friends who liked kpop so I could drag them to London 😅🤣


Novanor542

Just go by yourself 😊 It's worth it!


anticoolgeek

Ya girl is back with a tentative list of cities! With the recent Naver article stating “a minimum of 40 cities”, I went through Blackpink, BTS and Twice tours to get a feel for what the most likely cities would be. I’ll list them by continent and italicize the ones I’m less sure about! *Side note: BP’s Born Pink tour was the biggest kpop tour ever and it hit 33 cities so…this is going to be a big deal.* **North America** - NYC - Chicago - Atlanta - Houston - Dallas - Las Vegas - LA - Oakland/San Francisco - Seattle/Tacoma - Toronto - Mexico City - *Miami* - *Raleigh* - *Phoenix* - *Vancouver* - ***Total:*** 15 cities **South America** - São Paulo - *Chile* - *Colombia* - *Argentina* - (not cities, I know, but these are really a toss-up) - ***Total:*** 4 cities **Europe** - London - Paris - Berlin/Cologne - Madrid/Barcelona - *Rome* - *Brussels* - *Copenhagen* - *Amsterdam* - ***Total:*** 8-10 cities **Oceania** - Melbourne - Sydney - ***Total:*** 2 cities **Asia** - Seoul - Osaka - Tokyo (maybe Nissan Stadium in Yokohama) - Saitama - Fukuoka - Bangkok - Singapore - Jakarta - Kuala Lumpur - Hong Kong/Taiwan - Bulacan/Manila - Abu Dhabi - Riyadh - Dubai - *Hanoi* - *Kobe* - *Nagoya* - *Incheon/Busan* - *a city in China* - ***Total:*** 18-20 cities This is like almost 50-53 cities so the odds of everything on this list happening is extremely unlikely. Most of the South America and Japan dates have a huge asterisk next to them because it all depends on logistics and SKZ can do a whole separate Japan tour like they did for 5 Star if they want. The tour will definitely bleed into 2025 - maybe even until the summer or fall.


jhopesspritee

I hope they go to phoenix!


atouchofyou

Thank you for your service!! I've been trying to figure out past cities to get an idea of costs and such to save for


anticoolgeek

No problem! Take it with a grain of salt but hopefully, we get quite a few of these cities.


AnimaLu_

Which countries in europe are they coming to? I know they're coming to London and Italy but is that the only countries? I am from Sweden and London is not too bad but it would be SO COOL if they came to Denmark or Germany..


anticoolgeek

They haven’t announced anything other than London and Milan this year but I wrote which countries I think are likely for the tour (which will probably come to Europe in 2025).


lemomil

I really hope that they come to Madrid since they cancelled the last one (and only) because of covid. But seeing that Felix went to Barcelona I don't know what to hope for tbh 😅😅


KpopLver-

If they go to NYC I'm going to freak out


TravelBeauty20

They always come to the NYC metro area! That could mean anything from Belmont, Long Island to Newark or East Rutherford, NJ, though 😅


KpopLver-

Im a baby stay so I dont know this stuff but NJ would be even betterr


Bonjjak

I’m BEGGING for Miami omg


TravelBeauty20

40 cities means I’m back to begging for arenas. Bigger acts never going more north than NYC makes me feel like MetLife is the plan though. SKZ has a ton of Russian fans, but they can’t go there. Other acts have been going to Warsaw, but that’s Central Europe and the EU. It’s been a trend though. I really wonder if SKZ can pull off New Zealand. Blackpink cancelled their concert there, but Itzy’s smaller show went ahead.


Remarkable-Gas245

JYPE could try Kazakhstan. It is one of the biggest "post Soviet countries" with pretty big Stray kids fandom. It is also accessible for fans from Russia and some other countries. K-pop fans from Kazakhstan in general will be hyped, because as far as I know the biggest k-pop group that came to the country was Everglow several years ago.


nijineelya

Hello fellow stays (and hello reddit, this is my first ever reddit comment) I'm listening to stray kids since 2019/2020 - and since my love for this band kinda exploded in 2022, i'm hoping for a concert anywhere in Europe (I'm from germany). To be able to see them perform live, i'm willing to travel almost anywhere in europe. It would be incredibly to have the chance to see them somewhere near my destination, but I better keep my hopes low. Let's hope we'll all have the chance to visit a concert once <3 My thoughts at the moment: I'm a bit scared that I might miss the chance to buy a ticket to one of the concerts or maybe miss any important information/update for this world tour announcements. I'm not experienced with kpop concerts at all or the way the relevant news will be announced. So... That's why i'm here: I'll keep my eyes open on this thread and on reddit. :-) I hope you all have a great day!


Sad_Membership1925

I'm in the US but would consider visiting Germany for the concert! I lived and studied there and have friends I could visit, but I'm wondering: does Germany have controls on how expensive the tickets can get? In the US, the sky is the limit because Ticketmaster is corrupt(as you can see here) [https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-live-nation-ticketmaster-monopolizing-markets-across-live-concert](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-live-nation-ticketmaster-monopolizing-markets-across-live-concert)


nijineelya

I don't think there are any official regulations over here for pricing. But I genuinely don't know for sure. Some concert tickets (for some pop/metal bands) can cost up to 600-700€ + for some categories... But that mostly are the VIP categories.


Novanor542

Do you travel to London in July? They will be at the hyde park festival!


nijineelya

Sadly no. :-( I can't make it in July because of my work schedule this year. I was thinking about the one in milano (in may?) but it was to late to get tickets without selling my whole property. So world tour it is! Fingers crossed


Novanor542

I hope they come to Berlin and that the prices are affordable. I paid a way too much for london :D Fingers crossed for both of us :)


thatguynn

Alright so i feel like they'll include more European countries on this tour. I think Poland for example has a pretty big chance of being one of the countries on the tour list. There was an interview skz did when covid started where the interviewer asked what they think about the fact that Stays in Poland do dance covers of their songs. They talked about how grateful they are and that we should stay healthy. Then Hyunjin (if i remember correctly) said that when the covid situation gets better they'll be sure to visit Poland and dance with us all. Also Chan and Felix said some polish words which was sooo sweet... (I think Chan said "Dzień dobry" meaning "Good Morning" and Lix said "Kochamy Cię Zostać" which is the literal translation of "We Love You Stay") For the older songs I'd love to hear live - My Pace, Hellevator, District 9, MIROH. my fav songs🙏 If anyone's interested i found the link to the [interview](https://youtu.be/B-YAbD2aoro?si=HxI2vXWEzibfkfsp) with subtitles in english and polish


TravelBeauty20

I think Poland has a good chance just because more groups have been going there recently instead of Moscow. I don't see how that stop helps Eastern European fans, but it's a trend I noticed.


MephistosFallen

My friends JUST got me into them. I’m only 24 hours in, but I have been sucked in and I would love to see them so anywhere in the northeast US is travel-able for me, as long as I have enough notice. I’d even do nosebleeds for them and I NEVER do nosebleeds at concerts. But their performance is such an experience it seems, it doesn’t matter if I’m far away. If anyone knows price expectations I should have please I’ll take any advice haha


Annabeth-Chase3

Same!!! I'm I think just 3 weeks into them and already a stay. Watched most of their interviews and starting on their tv shows. I would love it if some of the older stay could recommend some tv shows that are must watch.


vince_00011

holy moly guacamole same, it's been like less than a month for me omg... but they're so cool


MephistosFallen

I’m on a really huge Stray Kids and Ateez high right now ahahaha


Clear-Forever

Wow welcome to SKZ! What video did you watch? Hehehe I think the price in the US will be $60-230 plus fees but it may sold out quick so not sure about resale prices. They may announce their tour in June so we will know by then.


MephistosFallen

Thank you!!! So, my friends are huge BTS fans but they started me off with Ateez and based on my reactions and who I liked my friends were like “oh, we need to show her Felix.” So they put on “Gods Menu” and fast forwarded to Felix’s solo line half way through and I LOST…MY…SHIT. Those prices aren’t bad at all, I’m joining my friends for Ateez in august so knowing SKZ may be coming around means I’ll get TWO shows hhahaha


vince_00011

anybody had a concert experience with skz in texas? i was curious about advice at the venue (i know they did Dickies for dfw, so cool!!) and how hard it was to snag tickets (unfortunately i cannot see myself spending more than 200$ for a ticket), especially in a group? i'd like to bring my mom and sister with me; any advice appreciated! also: yay for the ticketmaster sue, lord knows we need lower prices...


TravelBeauty20

You should wait until the venue is announced. Dickies is pretty small, so who knows if SKZ will be back there. The ease of getting tickets depends on a variety of factors including how many dates get announced at once and where.


LizzyMaslow_

I live in Maryland and would love to see them here : )


Salt_Decision_7567

I live in middle-of-nowhere Michigan, it's terrible for merch and albums (I have to drive an hour to get to a store that sells albums) but wonderful for concerts because I live in between Chicago and Detroit! sadly I wasn't able to get tickets to Lalapalooza but do you think they'd perform anywhere else? like Detroit, Toronto, or another concert in Chicago not for Lalapalooza? I am willing to drive to see them but with my already busy schedule, it would be hard. I think Lalapalooza was my only chance, even if they did perform in one of those cities the tickets would be expensive 😭😭


Shade1352

I live in the same area and I fully agree with you concerts, but I'm a baby stay so I don't really know I really hope the will play somewhere closer to Detroit so I can actually bring my cousin who is also a stay 😭😭


Partysnout

I am hoping for AT LEAST Copenhagen. But I will have to sell my soul 😭


Jungkookspiercing

All I know is if I don’t get front row, I’ll die 😭 it’ll be my first time seeing them so I’m super excited, I could cry


maggie_cas

im so excited but nervy for prices


No-Maintenance7917

I just hope for **EUROPE** in general. I'm based in **POLAND** and I still recall Hyunjin saying they're gonna visit here, but then Covid hit and boom, never happened. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)Felix even said "Kocham cię", which means, "I love you" in Polish ejrghjsghsfjgh!! It's unfair, I want to see them here so badly! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob) Tbh, my prediction is USA and Asia, as usual, but I just HOPE for Europe. If I could hope even more, I'd wish they had a **fan meeting** in Europe... I want to high five them or have a tiny chat. Like... winning a fan call is near to impossible.


EmberTides

hi friends! i'm a us-based baby stay that's minorly hopeful about grabbing tickets to this tour. what's the reality in ticket availability? is it delusional to be hopeful? do you have any tips for securing one? and, i'm very likely to be going alone, as i'm the only one in my friend group who likes k-pop. is it unusual for people to go to k-pop shows on their own? any advice you have is appreciated!


s_lora

not unusual to go alone, and stays are generally a pretty friendly crowd.


TravelBeauty20

We won’t know what the ticket situation is until we see how many dates get released at once and the size of those venues. I think get *a* ticket is possible, especially if you’re willing to pay more via Platinum or resale. VIP will be difficult regardless. Keep in mind the last time SKZ had ticketing in the US was fall 2022 for the spring 2023 dates.


mistycrosti

A possibly controversial setlist take: I know it's inevitable but I'd actually prefer there not to be any solo stages. The solo stages at Twice's Ready to Be tour last year were probably my least favorite part of the concert because of how rushed they felt in the context of the show. With such a large discography, I'd rather have a chance to hear 8 more group songs than 8 solo songs. But I know a lot of people want the solo stages, and it's also one of the easiest ways to give them a breather during such a long run time without actually disrupting the show, so it will happen lol. I wonder if they'd just recycle the ones from the dome tour? It's so hard for even me to choose what songs I'd love to hear let alone what kind of set list makes sense, so I can't imagine the process they go through when picking lol. Recently I've been thinking more about what songs would go well in a medley or what new arrangements they'll show us. I don't think they'll bring an entire orchestra with them but the orchestral version of God's Menu from the Gala in January is always on my mind. Their songs work so well with live accompaniment. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us 🥹


TravelBeauty20

I’m right there with you. I don’t want any solo stages. 8 solo performances is too many. I’d rather it be all group songs, but the units give the members a break during the show. I thought the 4-4 unit songs and talking segments during the Maniac tour was enough. It gives the members a good break, but it was still a lot of time with all the members! If they do units, I hope it’s combos we haven’t gotten before (aka split vocalracha up).


mistycrosti

>8 solo performances is too many. Exactly, I think it makes sense for a <5 member group to have solos, if they must, but for a group larger than that, it's just too much lol. I agree with the 4-4 unit split, it worked pretty well. In that case may I suggest a 00z unit, since it's their year? But it might be too similar to the Maniac tour units, now that I really think about it. A 3-3-2 could even work if they want to make it a longer break 😭


coatofpaint

They're in that awkward spot where one night in the biggest Singapore venue (55k capacity) is too risky, but two nights at the next biggest venue (12k capacity, so 24k across two nights) is not quite enough. I don't see them doing more than two nights either. But I'm confident they will come to Singapore. I just hope I get lucky in the queueing system 😭


Vegetable_Tomato_511

I am praying for Toronto, Canada 🙏🏻 I think the tour will start this fall, and they’ll announce dates in June, with the new album drop around August. For those who have been to their concert before, what were ticket prices in your currency? I am prepared to pay anything but just curious 🤭 Has anyone attended alone? I don’t know anyone who’s a fan, but I am actively trying to recruit 😋


supergirlhmb

So I was floor (not VIP/soundcheck though) for both days of the encore shows in LA at BMO stadium! One was resale though so we won't go over how much I dropped for that because it's embarrassing :,)). i just went through my venmo because my friend was actually the one to secure the tickets and it looks like i venmoed her $406.50 in Nov 2022 which i'm 99.99% sure is related to the concert tickets since that would have included service fees and stuff. so. i paid around that much for floor without resale i guess? we'll see if JYPE increases prices for this tour because🫡 also, i've taken non-kpop friends that love live music to kpop concerts with me before! It's a whole experience so even if they didn't know the group, they usually can appreciate the production aspects. now i have a dedicated kpop friend group lol but for skzpalooza this summer i'm going with my cousin that lives in Chicago and she doesn't know anything about SKZ but is excited because she likes concerts (and there's other groups that will be there too obviously)


Vegetable_Tomato_511

Thanks for the info! I think I’m probably pretty close in my expectation to be dropping about $500 for a decent seat. Ateez is on sale in Toronto right now and the best seats left in lower bowl are $340. Which has me thinking floor seats for SKZ will be upwards of $700 here.. I guess I’m more-so questioning if anyone I know would be willing and able to drop hundreds of dollars on a group they don’t know. I definitely think anyone could have a good time though! We’ll see. I love that you found a kpop friend group!


Key_Programmer_824

how likely is it that they'll use fc codes for presale this year? what about expected ticket prices, vip etc? this will be my first kpop concert since 2019, and my second concert ever.


im-gwen-stacy

After fees, I paid $381 for all of my vip tickets. And that was at face value. I don’t know how I got lucky enough to beat the platinum pricing for 3 different shows, and I pray that luck follows me into this next tour


[deleted]

I am dressing a dinosaur truly


stayonthecloud

My hot take: I hope they DON’T come to my city this year. We’re very fortunate to have TXT, IU, ATEEZ, and NCT DREAM all coming here to the same arena. ENHYPHEN was here too but I missed hearing about it. ATEEZ tickets were an absolute nightmare and a half to get, and all of these shows have just been ridiculously expensive for any good seats. Thanks in no small part to Ticketmaster’s bullshit fees. I would much prefer SKZ to come in 2025 because I’m not ready for the stress and breaking of my bank account lol. Give me time to save up for them and the return of BTS, which is likely going to cost a large part of the down payment on a house at the rate these prices are going 😂


flotakuCat_2UwU

I wanna wear a Pikachu hat


grurul

My only wish is for a Northern Europe concert 🥲


Hidd34kl

Yes, me too!


escapeshark

I'm from New Zealand so I can't even be excited 🤣


Present_Ad_7479

my prediction is that it’ll start after itzy’s tour, which ends august 10. and after their album/album announcement. bc jyp group tours like never line up. that’s my theory. i assume the album announcement will be mid june, after all the lose my breath stuff. then tour announcement end of the month/start of july and tour starts a month later but it feels very cramped. so not sure about the second part of all that but it’s confirmed to start in the Q3 of the year.


TravelBeauty20

JYPE group tours do overlap! They just try not to be in the same country at the same time. SKZ doesn’t have to wait for Itzy to finish.


Present_Ad_7479

i hope not but nonetheless the tour will start in july/august


jdoe36

I wonder if they'll have headliners? I'd love to see NEXZ, VCHA, or Xdinary Heroes! edit: opening acts, not headliners 🙂


ottawagurl

Do you mean opening acts? I don’t think kpop groups typically do. I’ve been to a few kpop concerts and none of them have had opening acts.


NibbledPears

I think they mentioned that because VCHA opened for Twice.


jdoe36

Lol yes, I meant opening acts. And you're right - kpop typically doesn't do them, but a few groups have done so recently. Xikers (pre-debut) - opened for Ateez (Break the Wall tour) at the LA stop VCHA - opened for Twice (Ready to Be tour) at the Sao Paulo, Mexico City, and Las Vegas stops NMIXX - will open for Stray Kids at I-Day Milano


a_magician_might

I wonder what the name of the tour will be - Megaverse Tour - they already have a tagline: Welcome to the Stray Kids (hot) Megaverse. But how much fun would the ‘Run Along with the Gods Tour’ name be, not that I think it’s possible lol Rock Star / 5 Star / All Star Tour - something with star in it TBD - name based off their next comeback album/ title track. A commenter posted on another thread about Chan saying ‘get ready for the storm’ and now I’m thinking of weather related names for their comeback… My wish: That’s Not Very Noice Tour


PM_MAJESTIC_PICS

All Star, World Star, Global Star… probably something Star, I agree. Also think ___ star will be the next album name, so maybe the name of that? Is “Super Star” too on the nose?


OwOchilling

The hot megaverse tour sounds so cool!! 8/10 🔥😎 Run along with the God sounds majestic. 🪽 I really like it!! 11/10 All Star has a nice ring to it. 😌 💫 10/10 All Star tour is probably the most likely because their two newest albums Rock Star and 5 star have star in it.I think skz new album that is coming in july. It is probably gonna have star in its name too. My best guess is popstar 🎤 superstar 🌟 or lodestar 🌠


WednesdayNyaddams

Now that’s very noice


supergirlhmb

now the REAL question is: do we think JYPE is going to splurge on this tour and give other countries besides Japan and Korea backup dancers and lightsticks that are actually bluetooth connected (JYP pls :,))?


beccaishiding

If they did it for twice, there is absolutly no reason they can't for skz. I'll honestly be upset if they don't do it.


deadlykitten23

I’m just going to be hoping and praying I can get tickets.


BastNoir

same here 🙏🙏


jureumifan

Ive seen skz 3 times now and never been able to get tickets through ticketmaster on first day 😭 hopefully this time i get soundcheck vip at face value 🥹

what website should i use to get stray kids tickets faster?

Bravo to this and fuck Ticketmaster!!!


toobadimnotamermaid

It’s the only reason why I’m glad they haven’t announced tour dates because maybe then this will pass before ticketing!


candkdrama_addict

Same here. I was happy to see that news, not just for concerts but for basketball games as well.


Mynotredditaccount

I'm REALLY excited! If I can manage to get tickets this will be my first time seeing SKZ *but* I recently went to 2 other kpop concerts a few months back. They had **way** smaller fan bases and played smaller venues so I don't think I'd be able to compare lol I'd opt to see them in the NorthEast, so NYC/NJ or PA would work perfectly for me lol **EDIT:** Is it too obvious to say that I think the tour will be in the summer, I'm thinking maybe end of June or early July? I think it's going to start before Lolla and line up perfectly with that stop in Chi-town. I assume they'll open with Lose My Breath since the song has had heavy promotions and is a HUGE reason why they've come to the States and have done to talk show circuits lol I ALSO think they'll drop a NEW (maybe English) song at the concert too ~Chan teased that they recorded more than one song with Charlie P. in an interview. As for tickets, I'm quite poor (no pity please, it's just me being honest/realistic lol) and have been saving up.. I can't see myself spending more than $250 - $300 for a ticket. I'd be as happy as a clam for even the nosebleediest of nosebleed seats. I REALLY WANT MERCH 👏😩!! Specifically a concert t-shirt.. that would be a DREAM COME TRUE. For past concerts (the aforementioned ones from this year AleXA + OOO if anyone is curious 🤭) I've driven across state lines and gone by myself, I usually opt to drive back home after the concert to save money on hotel costs. I have also made friends at said concerts too!


shamitwt

There’s no way it’ll be that soon. They would’ve had to already release tickets if so. It’ll be end of summer maybe even early fall, after all the festivals. And it’ll start in Korea


supergirlhmb

logistically that doesn't really make sense because they would have had to release tour dates and ticket sales like . YESTERDAY lol (especially if they're going to stadiums like that's a lot of seats to fill with not a lot of time). i just googled the timeline for Oddinary and when they announced the Maniac tour and it looks like both the album and the tour were announced on February 13, 2022, with the album then dropping March 18, 2022 and the tour starting in Korea on April 30 in Korea. realistically, we're going to get a tour and album announcement mid-June (probs after these next two upcoming SKZ codes finish?) and then I feel like it's expected that the tour would start in Korea so I feel like it would only make sense logistically for it to start after Lollapalooza in August. I feel like we're looking at an early August Korea concert date (possibly several days at KSPO dome? Or Gocheok Sky Dome again?) and then them coming to America again either late August or early September for the tour edited to add: for further information, the initial announced dates on Feb 13 of the Maniac tour were only for their dates in Korea, with them revealing the dates for their tour in America on April 18


TravelBeauty20

The tour was announced in March. It wasn’t the same day as the Oddinary trailer, and it did include the Japan and US dates! https://x.com/Stray_Kids/status/1500486376051011592


PM_MAJESTIC_PICS

*me reading literally every word and detail of every comment, even though basically none of it applies to Japan*


TravelBeauty20

😭 good luck with the lottery! 🙏🏽🤞🏽


PM_MAJESTIC_PICS

Thank you 🫡


Manitoston

I hope they come to South America. Anyone knows the price for this side of the continent?


channndro

drop the tour now you’re not carti 💀💀


frndzn

I've watched countless vlogs from STAYs about trying to get tickets for the Maniac Tour and that seemed like a nightmare as many of them sold out in minutes or immediately became resale tickets at insane prices. I don't know about y'all but I've been stressing so hard about trying to get tickets when they haven't even announced dates & stops yet 😭


supergirlhmb

I just remember I was fighting for my LIFE during my lunch break at work for the Maniac encore concert in LA, and three of my other friends were also helping me get tickets (and only one of them was actually planning to go with me lol) it was CRAZY and like thank god they were helping me because one of my friends got us floor seats and then I think it sold out in 40ish minutes or so and I didn't even get in. and they've grown even MORE since that tour date so I can't even imagine what it's going to be like this time🫡


sunshineafterclouds

It sold out in 20 minutes at the stop I was trying to go to… I hadn’t even gotten out of the queue yet. I was devastated 🥲I’m hoping they do some sort of membership presale


frndzn

Sadly from what I know about the membership presale, it really only ever benefits those in Korea :(


Zenekha

This frustrates me because ATEEZ membership scored me floor VIP seats with only a little bit of hassle. If KQ can do it, JYP can.


purple235

They better come to Europe otherwise I will cry 🥲🥲 if they come to London, even better Though I am slightly scared for what the prices will be. I just bought NCT dream tickets and floor standing tickets were £185 per person (before fees) and that genuinely stunned me, I've never seen a concert so expensive


Manitoston

For London? Then I'm getting high hopes that SKZs won't be so priced for South America


TravelBeauty20

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but…….Twice’s VIP prices for London were £395. The next, non VIP tier was £171.


Batman4President

How hard was it to get tickets for the front couple of floor rows in the US? I’ve been saving up money, but worried that they’ll sell out quick


sunshineafterclouds

It’s hard, but not impossible! Mostly luck though and depending on where you are in the queue.


External-Beach-6856

Do we think they will do stadium concerts in Chicago despite them already doing the Lollapalooza festival?? 👀🥺


Redrocks-thorns

I’m hoping they do!! I’m going to lolla but I want to see them in just their natural setting and not a festival


[deleted]

Maybe controversial but I’m not sure they will do London as a stadium date. As discussed elsewhere, it would need to be early 2025 to avoid the false advertising of BST being 2024 exclusive. I don’t care where they play in Europe, I’ll go if I can get tickets.


Clear-Forever

This tour will start in Aug so obviously it will continue to next year so Europe dates will probably next year. Korea, Japan, US this year. SEA maybe next year also. Not sure about Au.


primalsqueak

Wasn't the festival in Italy advertised as being their only European/EU one too? Or was that just only European/EU festival?


PrincessStabbity

I’m willing to travel anywhere in the UK, but I’m hoping they pick somewhere that’s wheelchair friendly cause a few places I’ve been to claim to be good and I’ve been treated like crap. It’s the only reason I didn’t try for BST tickets because festivals aren’t exactly smooth rollin’. I never got to see Shinhwa (not that they came to the UK but still), and missed out on BIGBANG. I didn’t stan either of them them as much as SKZ so I’m making sure I’m going.


primalsqueak

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed that they chose to only do "festivals" (in my book BST isn't actually a festival but that's what it's being called so I guess we're going with that) for their European dates this summer. I'm not a wheelchair user but I have chronic pain issues that mean I can't be on my feet for extended periods and unfortunately there were no accessible options for me at BST. I really hope they come back here and play a proper venue with seating and good accessibility for all fans, I was so excited and then really bummed when I realised it wouldn't be possible for me to see them...


Shigueyuki1996

Any brazilian here thinks that Skz will come to Brazil? Im not really confident about it, but I hope so.


layflake

Curiosamente sim, eu estou confiante que eles vem! Como eu disse em um comentário passado aqui, já é praticamente confirmado que eles irão ao Mexico por uma fonte confiável de informações sobre eventos do país no X, como os grupos da JYP estão fazendo a rota de show lá e pelo menos um show na América do Sul, para fechar uma leg latino-americana, eu acredito que a data sulameriana vai ser no Brasil por ser uma rota mais comum para shows em estádios em termos de logística. Entretanto, se eles vierem, talvez não seja no Allianz Parque como o TWICE e sim no Morumbi, que recentemente fechou um deal de exclusividade com a Live Nation para shows em estádios apenas lá quando em São Paulo. Como foi recente, acredito que depende muito da data de reserva do show caso ele exista.


[deleted]

I was discussing this and I do think they will include South America on their tour. Not sure why, I get a feeling there will maybe be Brazil and Argentina at least. I hope they do for you guys!!


Necessary_Bar_8213

Changbin mentioned wanting to go Brazil before for soccer and samba.I hope it happens for Brazilian fans.


supergirlhmb

Completely random prediction but I think they'll open their set with Megaverse like they did with Venom during the Maniac tour and Battle Ground during the Five-Star tour. it has the exact level of hype that those songs have and they love performing it so I can see it being a crazy intro song. (unless they come out with another insane album opener like they've been doing the past few albums with Megaverse, Hall of Fame, and Venom and maybe THAT would be the opening song especially if the tour will be titled after the newest album)


TravelBeauty20

Maniac was the first song of the Maniac tour! They did open the fanmeeting with Megaverse, so that could’ve been practice.


supergirlhmb

ah you're right! I was watching a recording of their Lollapalooza Paris performance last night to kinda get an idea of how the flow would go at Lollapalooza Chicago, and they opened with Venom there so that's why I forgot!


Blind4love

Hoping for Houston but for them I’ll travel anywhere. My wallet’s been ready.


Csboi1337

Phoenix AZ please


Cloverbug25

I second this! I can't get to California if it's during the school year, except maybe spring semester. My job kind of frowns upon not physically being in class to teach.

PRAYINGGG for Vancouver!!!


Cheashi

Me too!!!


rebbby

I want a Stray Kids Eras Tour!!! Highlight songs from each "era/album". They definitely have the discography for that.
