shadowhiveSo I’m gonna do a more general post sometime soon, but this is gonna be a one topic post!
So at Slam Dunk a few weeks back Set It Off said they’d be doing a uk tour next year. A few days ago the dates got announced and there’s a Birmingham date, woo! Presale was announced for today so I figured it’d be easy to get. They aren’t super well known so I didn’t expect there to be issues selling out or anything.
So this morning I went on Ticketmaster to get the ticket and, although it knew that there was an artist presale, it didn’t let you access it. It wasn’t just me, others had the issue too and it wasn’t just my date either. I kept trying and had all kinds of issues with it which made the whole thing stressful (in a different way to Sleep Token). To make it worse Ticketmaster was the only option for Birmingham dates so it’s not like I could just try anywhere else. (And it didn’t help the site acted I was a bit!)
Over the day people got them for other dates, but Birmingham was the last date still with issues. In fact it took someone else posting a specific link for me to actually get one, rather than refreshing. I honestly don’t know why it was such an issue.
For reference, presale was meant to be live from 9am, I didn’t get the ticket until about 9:45pm. So it took almost 13 hours which is?? Again I knew I’d just be able to get the ticket Wednesday in general sale, but it’s the principle of the whole thing and it’s just drained me a bit.
But yeah I’ve got the ticket after all the nonsense, so I’m gonna be back on my Set It Off fixation (and by that I mean my Maxx fixation) so you know what that means? A random picspam! (In part sponsored by one I saw on twitter)
One plus side to this was seeing these two recent pics on the ticket sites, which are new to me and certainly have an energy
Rest of the pics are Maxx and I’m trying to post them in chronological order (at least I think!)
Young twinky Maxx
Midnight era Maxx was a vibe with the bandana
Lonely Dance Maxx in his lil space suit outfit (I still wanna know whose idea it was to have the vid in space)
I have no idea where this pic fits in but he has a vibe👀
Pink hair Maxx which I completely forgot about
I love green hair Elsewhere era Maxx and the heart googles are so cute
From the same shoot as the pics above, and new to me today, he has such a… energy in his expression.
A pic from the recent tour, with buff Maxx wearing fishnet which is just…
He’s done recent gigs shirtless which is so… where did these muscles suddenly come from??
It’s especially clear here damn👀 I hope he’s shirtless on the tour here
The most recent pic he posted on insta, if him from the place he boxes which, again, has an energy to it.
Anyway that’s the end of the picspam (before I go trawling through my images and get more distracted) so thank if you decided to look through them, you’re a real one and sorry not sorry for the person I’ll become over him.

Date: 2024-06-18 07:33 pm (UTC)I have several methods to get around most of its shenanigans, but they're not foolproof. The other thing I always do is contact the venue and see what their process is if the apps decide not to work when I get there, because there is always that possibility. Ticketmaster doesn't care about you once they have your money; the venue wants you to come BACK.
