SUBSCRIBE! TY for watching! Twice was such a privilege to see LIVE, I highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance! If you've seen Twice live -where did you see them and what was your experience? Let me know!

I have seen their last 2 tours (and going to third next month) and they do not disappoint! Each show was better than the previous. I loved the song roulette idea as it gives them a chance to perform songs that may not get as much shine ("Rolling" went viral on their last tour). With each tour you get to see the girls showcase more of their own individual skills, tastes/styles of songs, and personality. Jihyo's live vocals & Momo's dance solos are no joke. They kill it every time. Like you, I had the same experience both times when it came to buying a light stick. It seems like they only bring a certain amount with them and once they sell out during the pre-sale event, there are little/none left on show day. My ONLY criticism would be that I wish they could perform some of their Japanese songs. Some of them are bangers and would get ONCEs even more hyped, but I can understand why they can't add another 30 min to an already long show lol. Glad you had a good time!

I can understand putting a “1 per customer” mandate in but from what I’ve heard from people there always seems to be an issue with quantities available. 😫 I wholeheartedly agree.

@@goten1183 hahaha same! Omg if I heard Celebration too... I don't apologize for who I become. lol So my understanding is that Japan has some strict laws about "J-Pop" being shown outside of Japan (this can include Japanese K-Pop songs). I believe since the pandemic though and music really becoming much more global, Japan has relaxed its strictness. I know that some artists are contractually obligated to only play Japanese songs within Japan and Japanese speaking territories but I think it depends on each specific contract. Clearly if we are getting "Doughnut" and "Marshmallow" even in snippets now, the rules are relaxing. Honestly I enjoyed hearing Twice sing in Korean, English, and Japanese because it felt like a more accurate representation of their global identity. I hope this continues to happen for more groups!

I saw TWICE as OT9 last year in Fort Worth, TX and that was the best concert of my life! I had tickets for my sister and I for last night’s concert in Dallas but our father was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday and is still there so we of course put our immediate family first but were at the concert in spirit with our ONCE & TWICE family. Glad you made it to see TWICE and yes health and safety is the most important thing. Also, the K-pop community is so kind, considerate and loving. I’m so glad that my Ult Global Bias, The Goddess Queen Dahyunie and Queen Jeongyeon are healthy once again and my fellow Texas ONCES got to see OT9 in full force! You are VERY correct about the difference seeing Momo dancing on a screen vs dancing on stage right in front of you 😳 Still till this day I bring up how blown away I was by Momo’s dancing live and in concert! She is 100% precision and power 💪💪

I was amazed at Jihyo’s voice. It was really strong and clear.

You mentioned the holes in the choreography; if you watch past performances, whenever they are missing a member, they almost always leave that person’s spot open and not fill it! But I’m sure that night it looked a little awkward since there were TWO holes in most of the dances! But after watching fancams from various viewpoints from that night; the girls did a great job considering that the decision to pull Dahyun and Jeongyeon was last minute as well! And despite the stage obstructions I’m glad you still had a great time! I still have another two weeks before I see them in New Jersey and Atlanta!

I went to SoFi and there was no Candybong/light stick rules there (other then clear bag only), overall venue wise it was pretty good experience but I also didn't try to buy merch (lines were huge) so I can't comment about that. I went wearing Jihyo's (or a version of it) black white jacket from Ready to Be and I was really surprised how many people also dressed up like members in various outfits, it was really cool. If you're a Twice fan I really recommend seeing them in person as they do so much interaction with the crowd and really put a lot of effort into their performances, if you can ball out and get floor seats there's even a chance you can catch their attention (slight brag Tzuyu threw a hand heart at me). Also the soundcheck is definitely worth going too, even if it's just three songs you get to hang out with the members in a much smaller crowd for a bit, higher chance of being seen and more of encore "chill" vibes. Jihyo made my head practically vibrate when she did her bridge for Donut lol, her voice is no joke. I like how each performance is unique with different stand out parts happening. Also I should add in my personal opinion the best seats are floor in front of the push/second stage, Twice spends a good amount of time there walking around interacting with the crowd, the VERY front row for the main stage might be partially blocked if it's raised, and you'll mostly see their backs when on the push stage, though they also do some stuff on the walkway if it's big enough.

I was actually surprised how much effort they put into this world tour. I liked their other tours, but this one was different. The company really invested in them big time. The set, stage designs, lighting, wardrobes, performances, the band, backup dancers, energy, fanservice, even the translator rocked, EVERYTHING was fantastic. I've seen every concert uploaded, and they never disappoint. It's fun full of energy, singing, and enjoying the night. I'm so glad you had so much fun. Sending you love and happiness 🩷🧡

I was at this show! This was my first kpop concert, and I was particularly looking forward to seeing Jeongyeon so I was really sad when I found out she and Dahyun were going to be absent. But! The rest of the girls really knocked it out. I'm hoping we left enough of an impression on them that they come back to the PNW, and I have my fingers crossed for an encore show so I have another chance to see them during this tour.

Nice review. gets me more excited to see them this September.

Thank you for your review!! I watched a lot of these reviews for their recent and previous world tour and rarely do they talk about ticketing, merch and venue experiences!! I’m glad you guys enjoyed the show despite all the hiccups and having a seat with an obstructed view!! I also wish they didn’t have that rule where you couldn’t bring other kpop lightsticks/old ver in the venue. Lightsticks can get pretty pricey and as a ONCE, i’d want Twice concerts to be more welcoming to other fandoms/casual listeners.

I think there should be rules. It's not like you're performing with a lot of group artists in one concert hall, it's TWICE concert hall. People are so crafty that if other fans come in and interfere with the performance, if they make fun of it...Even if it's a small performance rather than a Dadaikseon, shouldn't it be unique to perform well? You don't have to buy it if it's expensive. I don't think you need to bring it into the concert hall emphasizing that you are a Gujita fan.

I was at the Tacoma concert too! Apart from losing two members + the hot mess at entry time (which Twitter tells me was partly caused by the soundcheck delay, possibly because the two were pulled last minute?), it was sooo much fun! I managed to get a lightstick by showing up around 10am on Friday (show day) for merchandise; the merch sale that day started at 12pm but people had gotten there to camp out since 8 in the morning, which was crazy. (They had quite a few lightsticks available that early, but given how long the lines were even before the booths opened, I can believe they'd sell out fast.) The crowd energy and noise was amazing, I really hope Twice comes back to the PNW! I was so impressed by how clearly ON the mics were; none of the fancam audio really captures how good the girls sound live.

Omg i will go crazy if my view is this! THiS IS RIDICULOUS. I salute your patience

I love your comment about health coming first. I know it’s easy to make excuses for idols when they mess up on stage because they were sick or tired due to packed schedules, but I personally would NOT have liked them on stage to begin with. They (kpop idols in general) already go thru crazy diets, I don’t want them on stage when they’re not feeling 100%. A simple, honest statement beforehand would make fans understand.

I think it's actually fairly nifty that someone, anyone, didn't have a waking nightmare while dealing with Ticketmaster.

I enjoyed your review of the concert. It was funny and witty Mant, who scored 7 out of 9 overall. But I was surprised when I saw the video of the Tacoma Dome performance before. TWICE did 100% better and couldn't feel Dahyun and Jeongyeon's absence. However, the empty space of the dance was a little empty. I don't know if Tacoma is Seattle, but thank you for reminding me. I think I paid a price for trying to enter the concert hall with other fans' candy sticks for not being polite to TWICE fans. There are many people in line, so how sticky it must be in hot weather! Wouldn't it have been more relaxing if VIPs entered the other side at the same time? If so, I feel sorry for the negligence of the subject because I think that other fan cheering sticks would have been found quickly and saved delay time. I also felt uncomfortable because I had been in line, but after watching the performance, I have no regrets and I want to go again. And what's unusual is that in other venues, cameramen did not cover the stage, but in the Tacoma Dome, cameramen were seen standing tall, covering the stage, and it's a pity that they actually suffered damage. This world tour seems to have strengthened Jihyo's presence. He gave me a review, so I had a lot of experience during the concert. Thank you for loving TWICE.

dynamic pricing was definitely on for the Seattle concert.
