NO VIP LIne in Toronto 😿😿😿
by LushSpaceCadet on 2024-09-21Coca-Cola Coliseum - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5Overall I would give Bea's Toronto Concert 4 out of 5 because Beabadoobee' s performance helped me forget all the negatives that happened before and during the show.
1) There was no VIP line up for the Toronto Beabadoobee Show 😿😿😿
I bought VIP GA tickets for $345 and the early entry access for GA was not honoured by the venue. That was the main selling point for getting the expensive VIP ticket bc during the pre-sale it says VIP tickets would have early entry access along with VIP merch. 4-5 hours before doors a venue staff member was setting the signs for the venue and told us there was no VIP line. What was soooo funny is the venue Coke Coliseum changed their mind like 15 mins before the doors to setup a VIP line but at that point it was already way tooooo late because the line up was already soooo massive and there was no time to organize a proper VIP line. So what ended up happening was 1 line with both regular GA and VIP GA entering the venue single file. So basically Coke Cola Coliseum messed this one up. Sooo many who bought VIP felt very disappointed and mislead, we felt we got scammed.
2) Some fans who are not following concert etiquette were very annoying during the show
Unfortunately, the concert etiquette for Bea's show has gone downhill since Beatopia tour. I was at barricades for this show and there was a group of guys behind me centre left of the stage who were disturbing, pushing, very disrespectful and very loud for no reason. They were all annoying the fans around them. I actually tried to talk to them during the openers and asked them nicely to follow concert etiquette but the one loco guy who was part of the group told me he will not follow concert etiquette when Bea comes on stage right in my face. So basically I feel these fake fans come to Bea's show to intentionally be annoying to everyone and also to the performer. Before this show Bea already addressed the annoying fans in her livestreams but still they all choose to ruin the experience for others which is quite sad. But good thing after the first 5 songs the fake fans lost their voice and energy and I was able to enjoy the show! The unnecessary screaming, shouting, being loud and pushing thankfully stopped around the 5th song of the set! 🙏🙏🙏
3) Bea's Performance
I've seen all 5 of Bea's shows in Toronto since 2019 and the Sept 15, 2024 show is the best ever Beabadoobee Toronto show so far. The lighting and stage design went up 10000% compared to the Fake It Flowers tour and Beatopia tour where there was no light or stage design. The setlist was insane and the songs flow perfectly. Starting with California into Talk and ending the show with The Way Things Go and sending off the crowd with See You Soon. Also Beabadoobee's band is incredible with the lovely Eliana on Bass, Jacob on the lead guitar and Luca on drums and the one and only Bea on Vox and guitar. It was a very tight knit band they seemed to be all very close friends and it showed during their performance. What separates Bea from other popular solo artists is her amazing band which elevates her live performance and shows! We hear live instruments and live vocals and very little backtracking or playback. Bea and her band looks like they are having sooo much fun performing on stage,
I can't wait for the next Beabadoobee show in Toronto hopefully in 2025! The Beabadoobee show is my best show of 2024 despite all the negative things that happened from the VIP line being cancelled and some annoying fans at the show. Bea helped forget all those things and I had sooo much fun! See You Soon Bea! 🙏🙏🙏😺😺😺
