What I don’t like is people who are using whatever fan thing to gain some kind of privileges, or someone else using whatever long time loyalty against them.
For example I met a long time US Pinkfan 16 pm on Eminem Sunday show. And let me telll you I had queued up since 8 am that morning. He says hi to my two friends who he knows “through Instagram”. And he talks to me and tells me he’s a huge Pinkfan. And I go alright cool! And he says I’ve been to 100 shows. And I say wow I’ve been to many too but I’ve never seen you. And he says yahhh I’ve met her about 10-20 times too (or something), and I’m standing there thinking this guy is gonna continue bragging and damn right he did. He said he knows Roger. And Roger called him. Blablabla. And I’m just standing there thinking this guy will try to use this to push in. So I stand there smiling letting him brag. 15 mins later I’m asking him if he’s still going to stand in front of me in the queue. And he says he’ll stand behind us. No you fucking won’t. Lol. I ended up giving him a lesson, I talked loud for 5 minutes and he just stood there looking at me with open mouth. I made friends that day, they were in the queue with me sweating dying in the heat and you think you can just come here because you know someone from their Instagram and because you’re Pink and Roger’s best friend, well fuck off will you. Actually I told him I’m not OK with him pushing in and told him to get out of my face. And if he wanted to be here front that much, he’d queued up when we queued up. Lmao. But still don’t fucking use it like that and think you’re any better than anyone else. Or because you “know” someone from instagram. Obviously I asked my friends if they were friends with him before I told him off, and they both said NO. So he totally tried. Ugly behavior!
Also, I got two backstage passes for after show in Vegas, and I gave them to Jeff and Paul because I didn’t want drama. Jeff didn’t want it, so when I’m talking to Paul about it, he says “you’ve met Pink and band many times, it’s more fair to let me and Jeff go”. That pissed me the fuck off, here I am being nice and giving away something I got invited to, and yet things are being used against me. Not OK. Yes, Paul and I went still, but I’m still pissed at that comment he made.
So what I’m trying to say is that, whatever we do however we do it, what matters is keeping a good attitude.

You are right. This got me wonder if the stage was lower but I doesn’t seem like it! I found that her interaction with us Aussies is actually a hell of a lot less than she use too! It was actually very underwhelming. But then again maybe I just got so spoilt last tour! Also the stage is still very high, I have a sore neck from last night 😂 Really? :o Could it be because the show was like.... bam, bam, bam busier than last tour? You should write a review if you have time! I love reading those  |

You know I agree with this! Especially after my pushing in incident last week and the girls with their phones! Mark came down last nights during the I am here part and said hello to the crowd. I said Hi Mark, hope you’re well. After his set where he hands out his drum sticks he looked me in the eye and put it in my hand and a lady tried to rip it out claiming she deserved it cos she was there since 5am 🤔 how!! |

Tbh, if I had a job that would permit me to basically be on vacation whenever I wanted and that would pay tons of $$$, I'd do the same thing and travel around from country to country and venue to venue Awesome! What would you say was the highlight of the concert? I've only seen videos of it, sometimes of the entire show, and have to say that Glitter in the Air would be my highlight. And that note she sings at the very end <3 Beautiful! Would you really? The most shows for one tour that I have ever been to was IND, when Australia had P!nk fever and they kept adding dates as the tour went on. By the fourth (out of five) show I remember thinking how, even as a hardcore OG fan from the very start, I was getting bored. I met a girl in the queue this past Friday who is going to 20 BT shows in a row over four weeks or so. She said to me that she’s so glad that the next day is a day off because she’s so tired, and yet she had 16 more to go. I wonder where the joy starts to come from by the 15th show in a row? She said she has a friend in the queue who has seen P!nk live 104 times since the IND tour. I just wonder how an artist feels seeing the same faces in the front row over a long period; perhaps a mixture of appreciation and awkwardness? I think it’s interesting to reflect on the excessiveness that can come with stanning and fandom. Also, what makes someone ‘the biggest fan’? Is it how obsessive they are, how much money they spend, how many shows they attend, how long they’ve remained a fan, or how deeply they study her? Someone should make a documentary about it all! My personal highlight was the wink she gave me during the final GITA note. It felt like a knowing wink. Other highlights were the choreo of Secrets, the relative obscurity of I’m Not Dead (a fave of mine), the high note adlib at the end of JLAP, and her stunning vocals overall but particularly during I Am Here. I sincerely hope you get the chance to see this show live x There’s no such thing as a “biggest fan”, in my opinion. Some are more dedicated or able maybe, but it’s not a competition. That kinda thing is so divisive. You just have to support an artist in whichever way is possible for you. As long as you’re enjoying it and it’s positive then what the next person is doing doesn’t matter. 🙌 |

Bye, Felicia! 👋 He was just sooo up his own ass that he didn't even ask me ONE SINGLE THING. Or tried to have a mutual conversation. It was just him, him, him. Which was fine with me because I couldn't give a crap about him trying to push me down or whatever he tried to do. So had he had a different attitude towards me I wouldn't have flipped at him the way I did. "But I travelled from America". So what? Lol. Your choice to do that. And if you did, and you are so fucking eager to be front row, then queue the fuck up if it means that much to you. Idiot. Also, those backstage passes. Had they been out of paper I'd have ripped them after Paul's comment, haha. Lucky Paul they were made out of something thicker, lol. |

And speaking of assholes. There was one guy too on Sunday Eminem show. Completely douche bag attitude, like wannabe Eminem rapper yo yo bitches hoes dude. He came 12 pm and said to one of the guys (the guy was a bit shy, but super kind) that he's going to come back here 4 pm and stand here behind him. And that he's picking up his tickets at box office later which Eminem sent him. It's VIP early entry. Yo bro you'll do this for me I'm signed by Shady records yao. Yo bro my mom's Eminems cousin and she's his mom too.
We had a discussion, completely calmly.
He ended up telling me he respects me and he thinks I'm a cool person and he admires that. And then he left the queue. Nor did we see him that day or at the show, ha. But he did try to get a wristband from the security without having a ticket, FAILED. Lol.
Plus he had regular GA wristbands from the day before on.
Hate it so much when people try to use people like that and if I hear it I can't shut up. Not saying I'm in battles with everyone who's shitty, but these were the people I hung out with that day. You don't fuck with any of us lol.

Also the stage is still very high, I have a sore neck from last night 😂 Really? :o Could it be because the show was like.... bam, bam, bam busier than last tour? You should write a review if you have time! I love reading those It was a whole new crowd too! Maybe that’s why! Couldn’t even give her presents. Security was trying to confiscate them so people were stashing. And yep very bam bam bam, heaps busier. Also she didn’t play an instrument this time either which I was surprised about! Last time felt more intimate also cos we were actually right up against the stage and the stage was lower. She went down and took photos with the French and signed someone for a tattoo but really it was a small amount compared to what I’m use to in Melbourne. |

You're probably right  The present thing is sometimes up to the arena people I think, for security reasons  I learnt that after a show in US. It's good to call beforehand and ask if it's ok to bring any presents. Especially, if you are planning on giving something special |

Because during the first shows, Perth or Adelaide, so many people gave her stuff, pen, hats, plush, and she took everything. She signed so many arms.She took pictures with people. That's why I thought it was different. |

I sincerely hope you get the chance to see this show live x I’ve never heard anyone talk about them being the biggest fan and comparing CD’s, gigs or years to eachother through my 18 years of being a Pinkfan. Maybe just a few new fans showing off and want to prove something to be a part of convos that only long time fans understand. Some share their happiness. Both I’m completely fine with. I think her fan base is amazing. People are accepting, none judging and mostly just want other people happy. So it’s never mattered if it has to do with going to 1 show or 100, or going alone or with 10 other people. Traveling 10 km or 10 000 km. People are doing their thing and you can still think whatever you think, but IMO it’s amazing that we’re all so different and different things with Pink make us happy and that most Pinkfans are OK with everyone’s differences.
I’ve never heard of fans claiming to be the biggest fan either, but I have heard people compare how many shows they’ve been to, just for fun. My questions were rhetorical.

I sincerely hope you get the chance to see this show live x Oh, wow. Yeah, see, I never took that into consideration. But you are totally right. It might get a bit same old same old after a bit. I've only ever been once to the same show (TT tour, TT summer, IND tour, IND summer, FH, TTAL album launch -- if fan-studies would go by tour attendance only, I'd be one shitty fan lol). But seeing the same songs performed over and over and having her tell the same stories before a song (like the whale one before IDBY for example) could get awkward. You raised a good question here: how did she feel seeing the same faces night after night at her shows for a week and they still fake laugh their guts out at the same whale-joke they've heard 7 times by now? Aww that is so sweet that she winked at you! And yeah, IAH needs to be a single. With that energy she puts into the performance and that VOICE... the broader masses need to hear it. But it's sad to see her paying dust to it in regards to single release. You went to the TT summer tour, with the black hair and caps? Lucky you!
When the applause after I Am Here died down, I said "Please make a video for that, it's an amazing song" in a projected but non-shouting speaking voice, and there was a moment of silence as she focused on some fans cheering behind me in the distance, but I could tell that she took in what I said. You know when you have your eye on something but are tuned into the sound of something else? So, I feel like I did my part to campaign for the song to become a single, lol.

I learnt that after a show in US. It's good to call beforehand and ask if it's ok to bring any presents. Especially, if you are planning on giving something special
