Honest Brussels D1 recap 💜
This is just my personal experience, so please don’t come for me. 😅** **
**I’m genuinely happy for everyone who had an amazing time! I honestly wish I had felt the same.**💜
Seeing BTS live had been one of my biggest dreams for the past five years. That’s why it makes me a little sad to say this, but I left feeling quite disappointed with the overall experience.
If I had to rate it, I’d probably give it a 6/10.
For context, I paid around €430 for a VIP standing ticket. We spent almost 10 hours outside in the burning sun before the concert even started. I barely drank anything because the portable toilets were in such a disgusting state, and I’m very prone to getting infections, so I didn’t want to risk using them. By the time the show began, I was already completely exhausted.
The soundcheck itself was nice, but afterwards we had to wait another three hours before the actual concert started.
During the soundcheck, the members spent most of their time on the catwalks. Because of that, my friend and I decided to leave our spot at the main stage (we were in section D) and move to the catwalk. We thought we were making the smarter choice.
Well… that completely backfired. 🤡
During the actual concert, they spent most of the time on the main stage, and the catwalk was only used 1 time by 5 out of 7 members. Looking back, we made the wrong decision, even though it seemed like the logical one at the time.
The part that disappointed me the most was that I spent the majority of the concert watching the big screens instead of actually seeing the members. For almost €500, that’s honestly not what I had imagined. I came there to experience BTS live, not to watch a screen for most of the night.
This is not BTS’s fault, I know ❗️
They were incredible. Their energy was amazing, the performance was great, and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being on stage. My disappointment is directed at the overall VIP experience and the stage setup, not at BTS themselves.
Looking back, I actually enjoyed TWICE’s VIP concert 3 years ago much more. Their stage design made it much easier to see everyone, and I left feeling like the experience was absolutely worth the money.
I’m still incredibly grateful that I finally got to see BTS live after wanting it for so many years. I just wish I had been able to enjoy the experience as much as I had imagined.
Maybe I was just unlucky with my position. Maybe the heat and standing outside for so many hours made me too exhausted to fully enjoy it. I don’t know.
I’m really curious—did anyone else feel the same, or did you have a completely different experience?
