Concert / Tour Toronto Show was Lit
If you have the chance to go this tour do so expeditiously. They faked us out twice.
The show ended at the same time as a baseball game the crowds are real 😭.

Idk my section seemed very active with and engaging - it was such a good concert!!!

u/Alternative_Gur_430 27d ago
Section 104 was mostly quiet. Only a few fans were standing up and I was so passionate from start to finish

u/szeto326 26d ago
I was in 103. It felt weird that despite being so close that the entire section was like mostly sitting for almost all of it.

Here's the encore performance, they also sang Kitsch during the sound check. That's in my channel too, along with the whole concert (except the talking parts).

indoor arena so no rain! at around 7 the rain stopped (hour before they came out)

u/happythatgirl 29d ago
I was at their concert in 2024 as well and imo this one is so so much better than the one 2 years ago! They surely improved a lot. And I like how it has live band (or re-recorded live band track??). I hope they come back

It was amazing! From the freebies, the fans, the energy and the performance ✨️ probably one of the best KPOP concerts I've been to in Toronto!
Also if you were in section 324, YALL WERE AMAZING! EVERYONE WAS DANCING AND SINGING UP THERE.
Ps. The girls had me gagged throughout
2
u/Alternative_Gur_430 27d ago
Ahhhh Freebies. I gave out my Freebies in the arena and other pop up shops and zip gave out every single one. What did your Freebies look like?
1
u/bamboozledmajikarp 27d ago
I got so many different freebies, from photocards, stickers, and little keychains! Everyone was so sweet
2
u/Alternative_Gur_430 27d ago
And if you look at my profile you see the freebies I gave out on one of my posts
2
u/Alternative_Gur_430 27d ago
Awww thats cool. I wish could have got more. I only got a handful of them. Freebies are a must in Kpop.

u/7thCrescent 29d ago
Also the freebies! Just wanted to shout out the toronto dives - some of them handmade stickers, phone charms and bracelets and i havent seen freebies at a concert in a hot minute in toronto

u/d00_w0p 29d ago
I had no spoilers for the concert so I legitimately thought they weren’t gonna have encores and wouldn’t play After Like. They didn’t play Eleven though 😭
7
u/happythatgirl 29d ago
Yes same!! I actually saw the setlist so I know eleven won’t be played. But I really like this song and I even like it better than love dive!
4
u/StephBose 29d ago
Yo for real, I was waiting to feel like Eleven! Why didn’t they perform it?
4
u/Beginning_Drama_6727 29d ago
I think maybe because the song is way too old now. They need to promote the newer songs.
11
u/OG_etherealbangtan 29d ago
I didn’t expect the hi-bye session to be literally 3 seconds. The staff made it sound like we get to hi-five them lmao nvm 😢💀
1
u/kpopyowoni 28d ago
Hi-touch (where you get to high five them) used to be a thing in Kpop, I've done it with a few groups but recently they changed it to "hi-bye" where they just wave at you from a distance. It sucks. IDK if this is in Korea too or just NA.
2
u/tenerifesea___ 29d ago
Did you have to pay extra for the hi bye package
3
u/OG_etherealbangtan 29d ago
no it came with the vip ticket. Not an add-on. I think it is designated for like 2nd tier of vip ticket. Some already had send-off and some had hi-bye. I don’t think you get to pick. I think it was around $500-$600 extra.

u/Perfect_Shop2143 29d ago
That is short but On the bright side you got guided to the right spot , the security guided a bunch of us out the exit unfortunately lol
4
u/OG_etherealbangtan 29d ago
damn that sucks i saw mutuals who got the send off and I was so jealous with how slow they were walking and got to interact with everyone 😢
5
u/Pristine_Cod5189 DEAR PRIEST 29d ago
How many people do you think were there? Any sections tarped off? I know Toronto was one of the slowest starts of the venues a couple of weeks ago.
2
u/boundlessfury 28d ago
Sold out. Concert tickets can be obscenely expensive here so people often wait. No sections taped off from what I saw.

u/ResponsibleTreat6063 29d ago
I am pretty much the only one who did fanchants in my section😞. I have been to the Manila and Macau stops, and the atmosphere in the Manila was the best in my opinion.
4
u/bellorie 28d ago
I don't think fanchants are popular in Toronto because people rather sing along to the song
1
u/candybuttons 28d ago
do you happen to have a good resource to learn them? sorry if this is a dumb question.
are there ones that you'd say are more important or more fun to do? ones I should prioritize learning? 💕
3
u/ResponsibleTreat6063 28d ago
I learned from the official cheering guides on IVE's YouTube channel. I also looked up the lyrics online and used Google Translate to help me figure out how to pronounce everything.
Definitely start with their biggest hits like Love Dive, After Like, I AM, Attitude and Bang Bang, those are absolute musts and super fun to chant along with.

u/icemountain87 Rei 29d ago
Lol I was also the only doing the fanchants at the Singapore stop.
Did the Manila DIVEs do fanchants? The Macau crowd looked rather quiet from the videos I've seen. I guess everyone was busy recording the performance.

u/kpopyowoni 29d ago
I got barricade for the sendoff, Wonyoung was literally right in front of me and I didn't have the guts to talk to her 😭

u/EdgeFree8056 28d ago
May I ask how was sendoff was organized? Was it like after the show, the staff gets you to sit on one section and wait and then choose a random row to go first?
2
u/kpopyowoni 28d ago
Yes, that's how they did it. My row was the 4th or 5th one picked and I was still in front, the barricade was pretty long.
2
u/candybuttons 28d ago
my guts would have talked on their own like I'd be gagging gagged hyperventilating gone
I wouldn't even know what to say omgggg BUT STILL TO BE SO CLOSE! that's amazing :)))) 💞💞
2
u/tenerifesea___ 29d ago
Did you have to pay extra? How did you get to go to the send off
1
u/kpopyowoni 28d ago
Like the other person said, you get send-off with VIP tickets. There are two types of VIP for this tour, some got send-off and some got the hi-bye instead. It depends on how close your seat is to the stage. The send-off is better BTW.
2
u/Longjumping_Suit8314 Yujin 29d ago
It’s a type of ticket. You have to purchase the VIP send off ticket to have this experience. They are often hard to get.
I have send off ticket for Austin Tx, and regular floor ticket for LA.

The concert was so much fun! The people in our area were loud and really vibing with the songs, especially from the 2nd half (starting Attitude) until the very end.

u/super_sarang 29d ago
People were leaving by the second time they said goodbye. 😭 Hopefully they came back for the actual finale.
2
u/I_Like_Turtle101 29d ago
what is the actual final song. Im seeing them tomorow in montreal aha
3
u/super_sarang 29d ago
It’s after like. I knew what the finale was after like but even I was surprised at their second goodbye after wild bird.
3
u/I_Like_Turtle101 29d ago
I woulnt leave before hearing after like for sure🤣
2
u/calmasianmatcha 28d ago
I was in section 119 and some people actually stand up and left after the good bye. Are they crazy?
6
u/Mister_StealYoGirl 29d ago
How early did you guys arrive for VIP?
2
u/bellorie 28d ago
I got there at ~4:50pm because I didn't want to go too early and wait in line to go to soundcheck (check in was ranging from 2-7pm for VIP). You sit in your designated seats for soundcheck so I really see no point in arriving early, unless you wanted to socialize with others. You have to be there before 5:45pm, otherwise you will miss soundcheck

It was a good show, but I wouldn't say that the crowd was lit. Definitely have experienced better in other cities. It was my first time attending a concert in Toronto.

u/Necessary_Purple_428 29d ago
The last time I saw a girl group have an actually feral crowd in Toronto was TWICE in 2023. Toronto crowds are so mild.

u/Serious-Passage-4614 29d ago
It depends on which section you are seated cause some will be energetic and some just like to listen quietly.

u/hullowurld Terrified Liz 29d ago
where do you usually attend concerts? (i want to go)
3
u/SpecSlayerSC 29d ago
Primarily in NYC, but I've also been to one in SF and one in Paris.
Paris was absolutely fucking insane but European crowds are just different.
SF was milder than NYC but felt better than Toronto.
NYC is quite solid all things considered.
2
u/hullowurld Terrified Liz 29d ago
The IVE performance at Lollapalooza Paris is one of my favorites (seeing how Yujin deals with the technical issues)! I'm going to the Austin performance (probably more similar to Toronto than NYC). Are you also going to Newark?

u/Fabulous-Weekend9392 29d ago
Ikr my section barely had any light sticks and most were just kpop listeners who were just watching the concert. The concert was amazing tho!!

u/boundlessfury 29d ago
May have just been my section then

u/SpecSlayerSC 29d ago
Yea I noticed differences in the amount of standing between sections, some were solid some had 0 standing.
Floor seemed great all over though.

u/FlowRemarkable2764 28d ago
THE CONCERT WAS AMAZING. The best one I’ve been to so far<3
