What. The. Fuck. Was. That. Avril?? She was absolutely INCREDIBLE tonight. Best I’ve ever seen her by an absolute mile (and that includes Bonez Tour). She interacted with the crowd constantly. She was fun. She was charming. She looked absolutely buzzing to be there. Ive seen her on 5 tours now and ive never seen her like that before. Vocals were on point - during WTH, Losing Grip and IWY absolutely incredible, she really went for it the whole show. Minimal time off stage which is a lovely change from the LS tour. Only thing id change is that bloody HAW video lol - it’s nice but way too long (…and I’d add a couple of songs lol). She was so fucking good. I think the festivals this summer have been good for her, she seems so much more confident on stage than she has been in forever. The crowd was massive and literally sang every word - so many different ages there, I think as a big fan it’s easy to forget quite how many huge hits she’s had that people outside of the fanbase know. Only quieter one was LIWYHM. The venue was gorgeous too - we know she loves a castle and being in the grounds with the castle overlooking was gorgeous and she mentioned it a few times. Absolutely flawless - anyone going to Manchester tomorrow you’re in for an absolute treat. Setlist: GF WTH Complicated Smile HTNGU - Hot outro MHE He wasn’t DTM Losing grip Addicted W/ simple plan Bite me LIWYHM Sk8er boi HAW When you’re gone IWY Glad you enjoyed it. My tickets arrived for Manchester from Viagogo today. Got someone else’s name on so bit worried about getting in tbh.

I’m sure it’ll be fine - doubt they’ll take too much notice. Thanks. It says they might do ID checks on the way in. I’m hoping that is just do to with age restrictions rather than your name matching the name on the ticket.

I do wonder if she read the criticisms early on (or her team passed it on to her) and they made some adjustments. Because after that first show she suddenly added Hot and Losing Grip and like someone mentioned, she seemed to put more effort into the vocals, etc. and has tried to engage with the audience more. Sometimes constructive (and politely worded) criticism helps! I remember at the start of the last tour the backing tracks were so loud that Avril couldn’t be heard, the fans complained on social media and tagged her band/crew members, and they adjusted it for the shows going forward. I don’t think there’s an issue with fans voicing their concerns about short setlist or songs they’d like to see added, or bringing their attention to audio/technical issues, as long as they’re respectful.

I don’t see why it would matter if you bought a ticket with someone else’s name on it. Tickets get resold all the time. Or maybe it’s a friend that can’t go and they give you their ticket, which also happens all the time. I don’t see why the venue would care, as long as the ticket was purchased, it doesn’t really matter.

For the VIP Tickets they told us in Vancouver that you could have it with a different name on it BUT you would need a copy of the ID of the purchaser with you. I think this doesnt apply for regular tickets.

Wow, that sounds amazing and totally gets what I was saying a few weeks back. Don't let anyone's opinions mess with your excitement before the show or your own feelings afterward. Those who criticize online will never understand the joy of having your favorite artist perform in front of you. When I went to her concert, I was blown away, just pure happiness and fulfillment. It felt like the best concert ever. But then, I messed up and checked out the online comments, where people who weren't even there were talking shit about her. How stupid was that? I played the dumb blonde role of being affect by someone's opinion who WERE.NOT.EVEN.THERE! Even people from other countries complaining about a show halfway around the globe... lol... I guess some people expect from her a different kind of show with all theatrics, high energy, and strong moves, stuff I wasn't even expecting... not even my friends who were there with me and also loved it. But after reading that, I started doubting if my experience was really worth it, all because I let those negative vibes mess with my first impression. Took me a bit, but I finally realized it's what I felt that counts. And that goes for everyone. For those going, trust your own take, live it up, and if you really feel like the concert you are attending is good enough, enjoy every moment of it! Well, that's what I said in bold. If YOU feel it's good enough, enjoy. It's not like you have to pretend to yourself it's a good concert when it is not. Of course there are bad concerts lol... don't take it like I'm saying every concert is perfect or whatever. What I'm saying is just like: don't let other opinions affect your experience or expectations "if you really feel like the concert you are attending is good enough". It's not a narrative that everyone is a hater, but yeah, there are tons of haters that are not attending concerts sharing opinions about shows they haven't been... I'm talking about my experience by the way! I was foolish enough to be affected by hateful comments from people (from different continents and languages) who disagreed with me when I posted on Twitter about how me and my friends felt 🤣... Living the experience is different from watching it online. I also attended bad concerts in my life, though.

I think they heard the criticism. Some changes to the show felt rushed (TBDT was tested, received bad virals, and was immediately ignored), and there were reused patterns (Hot x Freak Out / Losing Grip), etc. My theory is that they read the requests and had little time to make different changes. Of course, they had time before to plan the tour and the setlist, but I think they believed she could do the same show effortlessly. However, fans didn't accept it. So the tour started, and they had to change things on the fly, resorting to old patterns to solve it as quickly as possible. That's what makes me feel the changes were the result of the criticism.

Yeah I agree. She was on for pretty much the full 90 minutes too. During LS tour she was offstage for such long periods I’m pretty sure it came it at under an hour of her actually on stage lol.
The Hot outro is nice and Losing Grip is a 10/10 addition. I’d probably have Hot in full (or a different song) and add Nobody’s Home too, then it’d be spot on. We can save some time by cutting down that HAW intro video. It’s pretty but so long, people started chatting lol. I saw some people filming it assuming she’d be back out soon and they ended up giving up cos it went on so long 😅

I think the whole point of the long pause during the encore is to create a surprise. People think the concert has ended and start to move and then she comes back and 'surprise' those who were not expecting. To me, it feels pointless and a waste of time for fans who paid to be there. The encore anticipation could have been much shorter.

Yeah agree. The long pause (which I don’t mind on its own) then the super long video is just a bit much. It’s a nice video to intro the song, but it could be like, 30 seconds long lol
Ooh this reminds me. I really like the video she plays about half way through with loads of old clips from previous documentaries and stuff. I feel like a lot of people there weren’t that interested but as someone who watched those DVD’s over and over again as a kid it was great lol.
