🏴‍☠️ Paris Concert - Experience and lessons I learned as VIP 2 (ATINY) 🏴‍☠️ I flew from Romania to Paris by myself, but I was never lonely 🥰✌ It was a magical adventure, an experience with highs and lows, that turned into cherished memories of the heart 💫 So in no particular order, from purely my perspective, these are some thoughts/ lessons I learned for the next concert experience, whenever that will be: 1️⃣ If you don't have ULTIMATE VIP and are okay with being in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th row from the barricade, don't go too early and queue. I'm saying this because I had ATINY VIP (2), opening hour for the queue was 12:30 and I got there at 12:27. When I got inside and chose a place to stand, I found out that my neighbor got at the arena and queued since 6:30 AM....and we were literally in the 4th row next to each other, but she was already exhausted 🥺 2️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes! Or take a pair as back-up! The whole experience was waiting and more waiting....at 12:30 ULTIMATE VIP went through security....at 3:00 PM ATINY VIP went through security, then SECTOR VIP. The doors to the venue opened at 4:00 PM, ULTIMATE first, then ATINY and last, SECTOR. At 5:00 PM soundcheck started, vibed and danced and sang, all good. From 5:30 PM until the concert started at 7:30 PM, more waiting...but this time, we decided to sit down on the floor. Then another 3 hours of fun time during the concert, followed by the madness to get outside and somehow get home with other 40.000 people 🤭 and I visited Paris the day before, so my feet scolded me greatly that night 🙈 3️⃣ Dress how you want, just keep in mind your tolerance for being hot 🙏 So outside it was a bit cold, but when you are in front of the stage, it's so crowded that you literally feel hot whatever you wear. I'm lucky that I had layers to take off, and I prepared myself with a hand fan, too (let's be honest, ATEEZ crank up the heat as well). And the tour merch is great, just be mindful of your conditions. One of my neighbors had the thick hoodie on and I thought she would pass out, so I gladly let her (and others too) borrow the fan. I feel this info would be helpful for many and fans are allowed probably in every venue. 4️⃣ Go with a friend if possible 🤍 I'm not saying it wasn't amazing going alone, too, it was just harder. I was in the queue before security check next to French Atiny who unfortunately didn't speak English, so there was nobody to keep my place in line for me to go get the photocards in the Atiny Zone or to go the bathroom 🥲 so no food or water for me either from 12:00 until after the concert... 5️⃣ Keep your phone, Lightiny and sign in front of you at eye level, so the Atinys behind you can see too 😇✌ I was in the 4th row, which is also a good view honestly, but when the concert started, the Atiny in front of me whipped her phone up and kept it up almost the whole concert...while her head would be next to the phone to see the stage, so she used 2 spaces. I didn't mind it much since I'm pretty tall, but if it were someone shorter they wouldn't have been able to see very well. 6️⃣ Have courage and interact with other Atiny 🥰 I wasn't lucky in the first part of the queue, but I didn't give up 🤭 in the second queue, before the doors opened for soundcheck, I mustered up some courage and gave freebies to the Atiny around me to start the conversation 💯 and inside, I also gave freebies to my neighbors, the Atiny around me, partners in suffering but also in party. So those 2 hours of waiting between soundcheck and concert, sitting on the floor talking with other Atiny, are one of my favorite memories now ✨ even found out 2 of them came alone, too, one from Scotland! it was such a good time 🤍 7️⃣ Even if your bias doesn't come on your side of the stage as often as you'd like, ATEEZ got you 😉 Seriously, I am sooo grateful to Yuyu and Yeosang for coming at the left corner of the stage so often 🙏 I might have been alone, but I didn't feel lonely at all! Yeah, Seonghwa preferred the other side more that night, but I AM OT8, so I was very happy 🤭 8️⃣ Dance with ATEEZ 💃 Feel the vibe, soak up the energy and have fun!!! Forget the perfect, no shaking movements video 🤣😂🤣 the guys are so good and they enjoy it so much if you match their energy, sing and dance with them. So just listen to Mingi and 'Shake that booty' 🔥 and if you don't, your videos might still not be perfect since I could move you by accident while I'm dancing 🙈 The actual concert made for a dreamy night and I fixed my sparkling eyes on the Kings of Performance to engrave the vibrating feeling of the arena in my soul 💫 By the end, even though many Atiny were crying, I'm weird, so I smiled so much that my cheeks hurt 😁👌 P.S. Take some cough drops with you for your throat, it's the best advice I received! 🏴‍☠️ Thanxx #ATEEZ and #Atiny 🤍 Let's shine on ✨ #AteezinParis #TowardsTheLight #Will_To_Power
