I wouldn't waste 100's of $'s for the off-chance of seeing my idol. I would have made sure that I'm going to actually be able to get in, that's all I'm saying.


"Not to sound rude" but how is it any of your concern how much anyone spends to see their idol? @_@ It's not about what you would do. This is what makes us different, this and the fact that I don't go around questioning international fans around forums.

what's the problem? i think everyone would react this way... if there was a 24+ age restriction you'd complain yourself i mean, people get the hopes to see their idol for once and because of some silly restriction that isn't related with the singer at all...
besides, he wasn't complaining about the age restriction mainly, it was the rude staff that scandalized him... don't pretend to be the sage know-it-all, everyone may make a mistake or act in a way that others wouldn't approve of...

Like I mentioned before, I was actually going to the LA concert (which had no age restrictions), but there was a problem with my plane tickets and I couldn't make it and Chicago was my last chance, I was aware of the age restrictions but I didn't know it was because of the HoB's liquor license, so I thought I actually had a shot. I didn't know people actually served drinks at concerts.

I showed up at 1 PM, and waited in line just like everyone else, and 4 hours later I was told I couldn't go in, and even so I stayed in the House of Blues for a while to see if I could catch a bit of the sound that was going on inside, but it was too depressing and I decided to leave XD

By the time I realized the age restriction was about alcohol, I knew it was beyond me, and as much as I wanted to get in, I knew the HoB wouldn't give up their liquor license because of a fan from Brazil. A 15-year old girl also tried getting in with her sister and her father, I don't believe anyone who tried getting in and who was underaged wanted to be treated as VIP, we were very scared of not getting in, but at least we tried. I didn't want to just sit around and miss this chance :) So I went anyways, I didn't get in, but I tried :)

Sure, it's easy to tell me I should've called or anything like that, and I'm not saying it's not my bad, it's just that I was very upset about it, obviously, but that's basically the conclusion :)

Were yall able to understand what I said down in the front when I yelled "TAKE ON ME UTADA!!!"? Everyone near me started laughing knowing what I said but she just responded "WHAT!!!???" So I don't know if it was a response of disbelief or one in which she didn't hear. Guess I'll never know. I thought it was funny and some others did. This was right before she talked about feeling like a witch. It was very lively and interactive for sure.


LOL I totally heard you say that too, but I was a bit confused as to what you meant! I know that song 'take on me' but what exactly were you trying to say?

I feel REALLY bad for the guy from Brazil, but in this case there really was nothing that could be done : ( I'd suggest directly calling the venue first before flying that far for a show that's strictly 17+. Sorry dude, as a fan you didn't deserve that shit!


I feel bad that some fans think I was expecting VIP treatment or whatnot for coming from so far, because I tried fighting for it, but knowing it was out of my reach, I'm just happy others had fun and I don't want others to find me irresponsible or cocky because I flew all the way there, it was just my last hope and I didn't want to miss it :( And if I missed it, it'd be because of the law XD hahaha
