My journey with 9 Blackpink concerts

It all started in 2022 when my daughter "Baby Blink" who had been dancing to Blackpink MVs since she was 5 was turning 8. I bought a pair concert tickets at BMO stadium in LA just 3 days before her birthday. When I heard about the concert it was already too late for original tickets so I bought a pair of resell tickets at around $750 each for the left middle rear section on the floor. Little did I know that as soon as the concert starts everyone starts standing up and some even decide to stand on their seats right in front of us. Baby Blink of course could not see anything and started crying asking if we should go home and get front row seats next time. The security finally showed up about half an hour later asking the adults to behave and get down from standing on their seats so we can actually see the rest of the concert.

Fast forward to March 2013 I pre register for presale using my Blink Membership that I purchased right after the concert in 2022. However the venue they choosed for San Francisco is the Oracle Park, the home of MLB team SF Giants, and the tickets must be purchased through the MLB website instead of the regular Ticketmaster. When the day to start preordering finally arrived in April the website kept showing not available and I thought I got the date wrong (being confused with the date of general sales) so I didn't check back until the next day and of course all the good seats are already taken!

I suddenly went into a panic mode knowing I cannot keep my promise to Baby Bllink without getting broke buying expensive resell tickets again.

Somehow they added a new show date for New Jersey and I was able to secure some decent tickets for 8/11 using my BLINK membership presale code but it is still not "front row". I decided to buy PIT tickets for the second day since we would be flying to NY anyway we might as well catch both concerts, no regrets!!! The PIT tickets are for standing only and we must go really early to line up if we want to get really close to the stage. Considering the height of Baby Blink I am determined that we will go line up early for the second day.

Fast forward to May, I visited my friend in Hong Kong and he was able to get me a free ticket for a VIP Suite at the Galaxy Arena in Macau on top of two other concerts.
