저도 얼마전에 글을 하나 팠는데 정말 비행기 가격이나 마일 차감율이 않좋더라구요. 더 황당한건 Delta Companion certificate이 사용할수 없다는거였습니다. ㅎㅎ 그래서 이리저리 알아보다가 라스베가스 공항은 가능하고 가격도 착하다는걸 알아냈네요..^^ (https://www.milemoa.com/bbs/board/8833826) 원래대로라면 BTS 표를 끊고 비행기표를 끊어야하지만 BTS 공연표 못사면 그냥 놀다오자라는 생각도 있고 웬지 예약끝나면 가격이 갑자기 더 오를거 같아서 미리 끊었어요...ㅎㅎ 그리고 저희는 표끊을때 주차권 50불에 하길래 그냥 같이 구입했습니다. 우버는 거의 못잡는다고 봐야하더라구요. 아마도 잡더라도 콜이 많아서 가격이 상당히 올라갈거라 생각됩니다.

방탄 로즈볼 공연할 때 갔던 분 왈, 차도 다 엉키고 우버도 못 탄다고 봐야한다고, 그분들은 한시간 넘게 걸어서 빠져나왔다고 하네요... 

저도 한 한시간쯤 걸을 생각하고 있습니다;;; 도보 한 시간 이내의 호텔을 잡아보려고요;;;

저도 일요일인데, 자리는 어디로 잡으셨어요? 

올해 초여름에 LA 갔을때, 예전이랑 lax에서 uber 부르는 방식이 좀 바뀌어서, 이제는 아예 셔틀 타고 다른데 가서 탔어야 했는데, 개인적으로 상당히 불편했습니다. 이게 또다시 바뀌었는진 모르겠지만, 같은 시스템 유지되는거라고 하면, 공항쪽에서 타는것도 불편한데 (간다 하더라도 차가 안잡히는건 더 큰 문제라 거의 1시간동안 기도하듯 기다렸던건 덤), 경기장에서 타는건 당연히 더 말이 안될테니.. 이럴꺼면 왜 돈을 주고 벌을 서야 하는가 같은 현타가 올 것 같아서 렌트 고민할것 같습니다.

오랜만에 들어와서 답글 남겨봅니다. 로즈볼 있는 주택가와는 달리 잉글우드는 좀 위험한 곳이어서 걷는건 절대 추천하지 않구요. 

Sofi는 주차장을 좀 퍼뜨려놓고 입구도 여러개라서 빠져나오는게 로즈볼처럼 지옥은 아니라고 하네요. 

근데 지금 Sofi 주차장은 다 솔드아웃이라, 나중에 취소하는 분들 생기면 그때 구입하시든지 아니면 카풀이나 셔틀 같은거 이용하시면 좋을거 같아요. 

지난번 로즈볼 콘서트에서도 우버 안 불러지고 계속 취소되고 해서 다들 걸어가시는거 봤어요. 

마지막 불꽃놀이 다 보지 말고 좀 빨리 나오시면 빠져나오기 괜찮으실거 같아요. 저도 그때 약간 일찍 나왔는데 막히긴 했지만 숙소까지 한시간 정도 걸렸으니 생각보단 괜찮았어요. 

전 우버 고민중인데 나갈때 잡기 힘들거 같아 많이 걱정이네요

우버 기대하시는 분들 지금 포기하시는 게 좋아요 콘서트 안할 때도 요즘 우버 많이 없어요ㅠㅠ

콘서트장 벗어나는게 운 좋으면 30분, 운 나쁘면 1시간+ 이라서 처음부터 마음을 놓고 가시는게 정신건강에 좋습니다.

가능하면 차 몰고 가실 동행을 구하시는 게 훨씬 나아요 경험입니다. 

한인택시는 담합 들어갔네요 주차장도 예약이 끝났는데 팬들 걱정이 많이되나봅니다

안녕하세요. XX택시입니다. 어제 예약받은것은 보통시 타운의 기준으로 가격을 말씀드린건데요.. 오늘 알고 보니 10만명이 오는 BTS 콘서트 인줄 모르고 예약을 받았습니다. 기사가 손님을 내려준후 다시 나오게되면 공연후 손님을 모시러 들어가는것만 2-3시간 걸립니다. 그래서 기사들과 다른택시회사 에서도 힘들다고 합니다. 저희 기사가 손님을 주차장에내려드리고 그 자리에서 공연이 끝날때까지 기다렸다가 다시 모시고 나올수는 있습니다. 저희는 시간당 50불로 가능합니다. 예를들어 손님을 5시에 픽업하고 끝나고 공연장주차장에서 픽업해서 호텔에 내려드린 시간이 11시이면 총 6시간=300불+주차료 별도 입니다. 예약을 원하시는분은 답장 주세요. 그리고 편도 예약은 받지 않습니다. 왕복만 예약 가능합니다. 

재작년 로즈볼공연 끝나고 양일 1시간씩 걸어서 호텔 갔었는데 진짜 힘들었습니다 시카고도 30분 걸어나와서 우버잡았구요 ㅠㅠ 공연 끝나면 일단 전화가 안터져요...(공연 시작전부터 잘 안터집니다)전 일행이랑 따로 앉았었는데 끝나고 연락 안되서 차 못타고 우버도 못잡아서 결국 호텔까지 걸어갔어요... 많이들 걷긴했습니다. 다만 잉글우드는 위험하다고 해서 걱정이네요... 걸을 생각에 주차장 안샀는데 다들 절대 걷지 말라고 하니 이제라도 렌트하고 근처 파킹을 찾아야하나 싶어요 ㅠㅠ +) 찾아보니 호텔 근처로 가는 버스도 있어서 버스도 고려중입니다.... 

오 노.... 몇만명이 일시에 빠져 나오는데 우버는 생각도 하지 마시고요.

잉글우드 SoFi 스타디움 근처가 별로 좋은동네는 아니지만 그렇다고 늘상 총알 날아다니는 그정도는 절대 아니고요.

더구나 몇만명이 바글바글 한 곳에서 좀 서성거린다고 해서 걱정할만한 문제가 발생하진 않을거라고 생각합니다. 그렇긴 해도, 여기서 좀 떨어진 위치 (예를 들어 공항근처 호텔) 까지 자정 이후에 걸어갈 생각 하신다면 그건 절대 말리고 싶고요. 대중교통도 생각하지 마시고요.

파킹이 벌써 sold-out 이면 난감하긴 하네요.

모쪼록 좋은 방법 찾으시길 바랍니다.

미국 교통안전부(TSA)가 그룹 방탄소년단(BTS) 팬덤 '아미'에 공항 보안 검색대에서 응원봉을 언급할 때 사용하는 단어를 주의해달라고 당부했다.

지난 7일, TSA 공식 인스타그램 계정은 오는 11월 예정된 방탄소년단의 로스앤젤레스 콘서트를 방문할 전 세계 팬들에게 특별한 당부를 남겼다.

TSA는 "당신이 응원봉을 가지고 뛰어난 그룹을 보러 여행을 온다면, 공항 보안 검색대에서 응원봉을 꼭 '라이트 스틱'이라고 불러 달라"고 부탁했다.

미국 교통안전부가 특별한 부탁을 한 이유는 방탄소년단 동식 응원봉 이름이 '아미 밤'(Army Bomb)이기 때문이다. 이를 직역하면 '군대 폭탄'이다. BTS 팬덤 '아미'의 응원 문화를 잘 모르는 직원이라면 가방 안에 폭탄이 들어있다는 말에 큰 소동이 벌어질 가능성이 있다.

아미 한분이 버스 대절을 추진하셔서 공유차 댓글 남깁니다! 저는 이미 구매했구요 공항 근처 호텔까지 1일 왕복 42000원 입니다. 링크는 남겨도 되는지 안되는지 몰라서 일단 안남기겠습니다... 트위터에서 LA 퍼투댄 버스 차량 운행으로 검색하시면 나와요. 해외카드도 받으니까 스펜딩 해야하는 카드로 결제하시면 좋을거 같습니다. 

전 BTS 공연은 아니지만
풋볼경기 보로 so-fi stadium 을 9/26일이 갔었어요
새로운 경기장이라 구경도 할겸 갔다가
끝나고 나오는데
파킹장 빠져나오는것만 1시간 걸렸어요

근처에 걸어서 호텔로 가는 외국사람들 많았어요

전 LA 살지만 그 동네가 안전하진 않지만

또 그리 무서운 동네는 아니에요

경기떄문인지 경찰도 많구요

예전에 Sofi옆 Forum에서하는 콘서트 갈때올때 우버를 탔는데요, 오랜지시에서 갈때는 $50 정도였고, 올떄는 $150 정도 냈어요. 공연장 바로 앞에서는 정말 잡기 힘들꺼구요, 좀 걸어나와서 잡는걸 추천합니다. 파킹랏은 캔슬이 가능한거라 그런지, 계속 나오네요. 수시로 들어가서 체크하시면 될듯해요. 저도 지난주에 못잡았다가 엊그제 찾아보니 나와서 잡았습니다. 거기서 빠져나오는게 문제일꺼같긴 하네요;;

그렇지 않아도 저도 오늘 BTS 공연 이야기를 하다 이글을 보네요 :)제 아이가 오늘 계탔습니다 ㅋ 학교 친한친구가 이 스태디움을 가진 집아이라네요 . 그애가 학교 아이들 20명을 BTS공연에 초대 했는데 아주 좋은 자리여서( 무대랑바로 붙은자리)  오늘 학교에서 집에 오자마자 방방 뜨고 난리였거든요. 공연 보시고 좋은 추억 되시기를. 

근처에 코스코가 있는데 거기에 주차하는건 비추일까요?

내일 첫공이네요 기대됩니다! 다들 언제공연 가시는지... 'ㅅ'

레딧에서 찾은 팆 몇개 공유합니다

Just wanted to share a few notes from my experience from today to help out fellow ARMY if needed. To preface, we arrived at SoFi at 5:00 pm PST (parking at The Forum opens at 3:00PM):

1) Parking: ????️????I highly suggest you park at the Forum if you haven’t purchased parking yet. We got into our spot within 5 minutes of arrival to the area, and it took the same amount of time to get out of the parking lot after the concert back on to the streets. 

2) Merch: ????If we joined the merch line when we got to SoFi we would not have made it to our seats before the concert started. Personally, I think the only important piece of merch to buy before the concert is the ARMY bomb if you don’t have it (I was so shocked at how much you felt more a “part of the show” when you had the light stick during the concert). If you can wait on merch that you’ll just be taking home, I would suggest going right after the show ends. On our way to exit the stadium we stopped by the merch and waited 5-10 minutes before being able to buy what we wanted. Stock is the biggest issue in any case, but the clerks mentioned they did restock while the concert was going on. There were multiple stands outside AND inside the stadium. 

3) Entry into Stadium: ????This was the most stressful part, but it doesn’t have to be! We waited in line to get into the stadium starting at 5:00, on my ticket it said “Entry 5” so we asked around to find the correct line. We were maybe halfway through the line at around 6:45, and we started getting a bit worried. While in line I chatted up a security guard and he pointed me in the direction of a SIGNIFICANTLY shorter line for Entry 4. He let me know the Entry doesn’t matter, you can get to your seats (EXCEPT floor) from any Entry. We switched lines and were in our seats by 7:00.

4) Food & Drinks: ????????????After getting into the stadium we saw a few of the venues open. Under our section, they had a choice of cheese pizza or salad, fountain drinks, a few cocktail choices, and a few beers. Pizza was 12$, soda was 8$ and beer was $10. They have “souvenir” cups but those are SoFi stadium souvenir. There was essentially no line when I got food at 7:10ish but can’t speak for after that. While you’re waiting outside the stadium, some vendors did come around with hot dogs (8$), churros, and popcorn(13$) (those are what I saw). I heard something about the bottle policy being different than what was given in the email instructions but can’t speak further as we didn’t bring any water bottles. 

5) Finding your Seat: ????????I feel like this is worth the mention based on my observation. There was essentially no security or ticket person inside the stadium between sections etc. Typically when you go to a venue they have ushers to help you find your seats, however, I didn’t see any and I saw a lot of people struggle to find their seats. Just a recommendation to those of ARMY that aren’t the best with directions to review the seat map before the show so you can get to your seat without any stress! In addition to finding your seat, it was a bit annoying when people would stand on the landing area as it blocked a lot of the view for people. Fans in their seat had to get up to ask people to move out of the way, but they shouldn’t have had to if an usher was working there.

6) Clothes: ???? Ok so I really can’t say much as I lack in any sort of style, but for your benefit PLEASE bring a jacket. If you end up having to wait in line as long as today you will be thankful to have a jacket. I saw lots of cold shivering people today in line, LA can get a bit chilly in the night. 

Hope this was helpful to someone. Happy to answer any questions best I can. When all is said and done, I actually got to see BTS live and it amazing. 

 One last note is that if you ever need help around the stadium, feel open to ask fellow ARMY. Everyone I ran into (well almost everyone lol) was super friendly and helpful. It was nice to make new friends!

Day 1 Recap and Tips

NOTE: experiences clearly did and will vary WILDLY based on your arrival time, which part of the stadium you were in before/during, etc.

Things I'm Glad I Did Before/Brought:

- Installed the SoFi app and figured out the nearest water refill station to my seat, as well as looked at the different menus and knew what I wanted to eat (the menus vary slightly from place to place) 

- Reserved parking (Brown zone) 

- Earplugs (more on this later, but the screaming was LOUD), 

- Binoculars (from the 500s I think these were almost a necessity for me, and I bought $20 POLDR 12X25 Small Pocket Binoculars on Amazon)

- Toilet paper (the portapotties outside ran out quick and no other bathrooms til gates opened at 5:30)

- Hand sanitizer/wipes (portapotties)

- Snacks (ate some before entering and had no issues bringing mine in, note I brought only sealed stuff in but they honestly didn't seem to be checking that carefully) 

- Sealed water bottle (I actually brought a bigger reusable water bottle to drink beforehand and then stored it in the car) 

- Hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses for during the day and in the merch lines because the sun was hot (put all of it in the car before lining up) 

- Comfy shoes (so much standing, walking, waiting) 

- Jacket (I sat on it earlier and then it got chilly even before the sun went down, I wore it the entire time I was in the entry line, during the show, and definitely after)

- Phone charger (was nice to be able to recharge and take video/photos comfortably, and at least for me I got decent network around the stadium but inconsistent and worse the closer I was standing to it, but I had no issues with the WiFi once I connected)

- Army bomb batteries (they didn't have these at the stand my friends shopped at. NONE! so we pooled together the ones we had and then did a Target run too, which wasn't too bad)

Observations / Thoughts:

- Arrived around 12:30 and parked in the Brown zone. They let us park all the way by the entrance/exit rather than closer to the stadium which was VERY helpful in getting out quickly afterward. If you can, try to do that! No in and out privileges but could easily walk to and from the car if needed. 

- Basically stayed at the "back" half of SoFi the entire time and I think it was way less crowded. There was a full merch booth that I don't think was listed on the original map and fewer photo ops than in the front but in general not too bad. Very happy positive vibes and lots of friendly Army! also there were some nice shaded areas to sit

- We were able to Door Dash lunch rather than walking around to food trucks or going "off site" though I heard there were a few food trucks available. Basically until you get into the stadium you're on your own for food, water, and bathrooms. 

- Merch line took about 2.5 hours and they still had most everything in stock (though not in every size) around 3:30 ish, but the line seemed to get progressively longer. As mentioned above, they had army bombs but no batteries... so byo 

- Completely underestimated the entry lines. Started to get in line around 4ish and basically found the entry gate and then followed the line backwards til we found the end. I think some were more messy than others, but it was fine for us... just long. You can technically enter from other points too (except floor seats), but it's really hard to tell which line is shorter or moving quicker. Doors didn't open til 5:30 and then we didn't actually get in til closer to 7. In general Army was polite and friendly, even though everyone was kind of overwhelmed by the crazy lines.

- Security when we went through: quick glance at vaccination card and ID, someone looked at bag contents medium carefully but not picky, and walked thru a metal detector. This seemed to vary a lot from station to station. 

- In general people seemed to be good about keeping their masks on

- Army is SO DIVERSE! Age, gender, ethnicity... it was a delight to see. Also so many creative and fun and unique outfits.

- Once in the stadium, we had to go up to the 500s so took an elevator (in general SoFi staff gave decent directions for anything I asked) but could also take stairs, though this prob depends on which entry point you're at. Not very crowded at all once inside. Short concession and bathroom lines, merch stalls had lines but nothing like outside, though they didn't have the full selection - and note they stayed open during and after the concert too.

- If you're in the 500s, I hope you're not afraid of heights because WOW are you high up! and the stairs and seats are STEEP. I didn't necessarily feel unsafe but it was really disorienting. Our section mostly sat during the show, and everyone had a good view of the stadium and the big screen. They did not use the screen thing from the roof that goes around, just the big one on stage. Could see that, but the members were VERY small... glad I had binoculars. The stage and stadium are just so so big that they seem so small in comparison. 

- I personally hated the effects and designs on the big screen - I'd have preferred just to see the members more cleanly and full screen.

- The audio wasn't TOO loud but the screaming was VERY LOUD. Glad I had earplugs.

- I think bc the stadium design and the screaming and the speakers I did find it was hard to hear what was going on clearly (with or without earplugs). Like for ments I had to really concentrate to hear them (even when speaking English) and couldn't hear their actual singing as clearly as an online concert, for comparison.

- Seeing the giant stadium FULL of army bombs and how much fun the coordinating and programmed lights were... that was was a really special experience 

- Fanchants were almost inaudible (to me) - occasionally you could hear them but not really... so if you didn't study, I wouldn't worry about it too much

- The stadium roof was closed, but there was definitely still a breeze coming in from the sides which were more open

- Seats were decently comfortable even in a non club/VIP area

- Exiting wasn't bad. We actually left as PTD was ending to go to the bathroom and then caught the goodbyes from another level to beat the crowd, but it seemed like everything moved really quickly in terms of exiting the stadium and parking lot (but that could be bc we parked near the exit)

My mind and body are overwhelmed but wanted to jot all this down in case it's helpful for anyone today!

첫날 공연을 딸이 봤습니다.

저희는 렌트를 해서 딸아이 드랍(3시)하고, 저희는 저녁을 먹고 10시에 다시 필업 갔습니다.

공연이 10시 15분쯤 끝났는데 11시쯤에 타겟몰안 la fitness 주차장에서 픽업 했습니다.(그나마 가장 적게 걷고 주차하기도 편해요)

골목길을 경찰이 많이 막아놔서 구글맵 잘 안 맞았습니다. 10시 넘어서는 픽업하러 근처에.오는것도 힘들것 같더라구요. 참조하세요
