I don’t think the videos show how much Harry checked in with Brenda (LA night 1, November 17, 2021). He looked at her sign and said, are we going to do this? More than once. And then also specifically asked if he could read her sign. I don’t think it’s always clear how much consent he asks for in a coming out situation.

A friend in Vegas says they are checking vaccine status and test results.

One of my favorite parts of LA Night 2 was when the crowd was chanting for Medicine right before Fine Line. So, immediately following Canyon Moon, TPWK, and WMYB. And Harry goes, we can’t do Medicine NOW, I’ll die.

Of course, he did it 2 songs and a break later.

I’m not an actual photographer so I’m super grateful to all of the folks taking much better pictures.

HS2OUR BEST TICKET ADVICE

Ok friends, here is my best HS2OUR advice. Be sure to check for specifics of YOUR SHOW on Harry’s Tour Page. My advice is based on living in the US, so there will be some differences based on region.

BUILD A TEAM - Enlist non-fandom and fandom friends alike. Can a non-fandom friend take 30 minutes out of their day? I realize it’s not the current situation, but I definitely got LOTS of folks to sign up for codes for Arena Harry. Do you have fandom friends in different time zones? The more folks you have trying, the better the chances.

KNOW WHEN YOUR PRESALES START - Check your tour page.

START 30 MINUTES EARLY - Get ready. Get in your headspace. Make sure all your details are right. There are waiting rooms. They start 10 minutes before go time (in the US). But get your head in the game. Sing some High School Musical if you want to. You will be asked to verify your cell phone number when you get in the waiting room, but that means you’re set when you go into the queue. The speed with which you enter the waiting room does not seem to matter, so don’t fret.

MAKE SURE YOUR PAYMENT SHIT IS RIGHT - Check your credit card and address in your Ticketmaster/Live Nation account. Don’t fuck with that shit in the moment. I got all the way to the end for Glasto tickets and fucked it up because I didn’t have the right credit card info. Don’t make this mistake.

DON’T FUCK WITH A BAD INTERNET CONNECTION - if you have bad wifi, go somewhere with good wifi. Be careful on public connections because you will be transferring credit card data. I made this mistake and it almost cost me One Night Only tickets. You’ll go from the waiting room into the queue and the speed of your internet matters here.

PAY ATTENTION TO TICKET LIMITS - Ticketmaster will cross check every bit of your information. So, don’t go over the limits for an individual human for tickets. They’ll check CC, address, name, email, phone. And they’re looking for scalpers. Don’t get caught in the cross-fire. The limit is 4 tickets PER CODE but also PER VENUE. Pay attention if you’re in a city with multiple nights at the same venue. But you can check by clicking MORE INFO.

DECIDE ON WHAT YOU WANT - In an arena environment, it’s much less likely that you just straight-up won’t get tickets. Like, WAY less likely. I don’t like to speak in absolutes, but I really don’t think that’s the issue. If you want pit or first couple rows, keep at it. I did Poptopia for almost 2 hours and they released better seats later. So, my advice would be, don’t settle for something you don’t want. Ticketmaster seems to be playing on our anxiety. The fear is that we won’t get good seats so then we take the first good seats that we can manage. Then, we keep trying. And when they release better seats, we have to resell the first ones, driving the prices up. (I’m sure I’ll get follow-up questions on this, happy to answer).

ONE ACCOUNT PER QUEUE - This is different. If you are in the same queue with the same account, you’ll get kicked out. And if you were logged in as one and then logged in as another, it doesn’t always realize. So, I would restart your computer and your phone. And if you have 2 accounts, login to one on each device.

KEEP TRYING - You’ll get the, sorry a fan beat you to those seats. Keep trying. It takes longer to get what you want in an arena show.

ASK FOR THINGS - If you don’t get tickets and you feel like you want to cry, talk about it on Tumblr. Let people know you’re looking. I got a second ticket for SF Harry because I was open about needing one. I have found this fandom to be incredibly generous. I have two tags and am willing to post asks with either. You can look at my HAS TICKETS and NEEDS TICKETS tags.

REMEMBER RESALE TICKETS MAY BE CHEAPER - All but the best seats will likely be cheaper closer to time. Pit tickets won’t be. The first several rows won’t be.

As always, I will make the statement that buying tickets does not make a fan better. I always want to be sure that the folks who want them have the best chance of getting them. That’s my motivation.

Lord there’s a lot of Supportive Husband time in these tours. (Spreadsheet here)

I do think we’ll have an HS2OUR announcement by SNL. But do not panic. 

I will pull together the best advice I have from this most recent round of ticket buying for those that want it.

An Arena tour is not the Hunger Games. There will be great seats available at reasonable prices WAY closer to time (I can’t say the same about small venues, but maybe).

If it’s Verified Fan, I’ll pull together some lessons I learned the hard way about that too.

I repeat, DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED TO BUY HARRY TICKETS RIGHT NOW. Or in the next couple weeks. (Also, I could be wrong, who knows). And before people come to my inbox and say I don’t love Harry, scroll back for like a second.

I can go into more depth here as the time comes but I wanted to put that in the world.
