If you’re one of the lucky ones who have got your hands on a ticket to see Lorde on her Ultrasound Tour, then you may want to listen up as one American fan has shared ‘seven things you should know’
Many Lorde fans are gearing up to see the songstress live this weekend or next week as she brings the Ultrasound Tour to the UK, and if you’re one of the lucky ones who have got your hands on a ticket, you may want to listen up. One American Lorde fan has taken to her TikTok account to share some insider information as she listed the ‘seven things you should know’ if you’re seeing the Royals singer live.
Lauren Schordock, known as @laurschor on the app, revealed she camped out overnight for nine hours at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, to make sure she was in the pit for the opening night of Lorde’s tour, so she certainly knows what she’s talking about.
Her first tip will therefore come as no surprise, as she revealed that people will camp overnight like herself. She said: “I personally arrived at 11:55am and was the 71st person in line, but the first group did have a little sleepover on the sidewalk from about midnight on.”
Lauren’s second piece of information to note was that there was no formal wristband system from the venue, however she said a fan did have a Sharpie and was writing numbers on their hands. “This allowed people to leave the line and sit in the shade,” she said.
However, Lauren said the place in the queue “didn’t matter” as she claimed the Moody Center decided to let people in the pit “from all doors”.
Third to note, according to Lauren, is that the merchandise stall opens at 4pm. “We headed over there to start a line around 3pm,” she said.
Lauren noted short-sleeved T-shirts were $50 (£38), long-sleeved T-shirts were $60 (£46) and sweatshirts were $125 (£95). She also said that merchandise was the same inside and outside and that she was “sad” that there was no venue-specific merchandise.
The fourth point Lauren made was that the venue doors were supposed to open at 6pm, but she said they got let in “a little after”.
While the fifth point was that the first opener played from 7pm-7:30pm, while the second opener played from 7:45pm-8:30pm. “They vary throughout the tour, so check to see who yours are,” she said.
Lauren’s sixth point was that the “famous water bottle” mysteriously appeared on-stage at 8:37pm before Lorde came on stage at 9pm.
Talking about the show, Lauren said: “Going to the opening night of the tour was an incredible experience, but the set list and the Lord-esque choreography made this a genuinely fulfilling night.”
Lauren’s seventh and last piece of information to note was that Lorde played 23 songs, including the entirety of Virgin and “plenty of the classics”.
She added: “The confetti was released right before If She Could See Me Now. No spoilers but what she did during Ribs was one of the best concert-going experiences I’ve ever had.
“Best of luck and excited for your lift to shift at the Ultrasound Tour.”
Those who are seeing Lorde in the UK should note that venue systems and timings may vary, as may the cost of merchandise.
