Earlier this August a couple of friends and I attended a VIXX concert in Orlando at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney. We were shopping when I brought it up that it was coming up,she was more than interested, and so we bought tickets as soon as we could. Unfortunately, the highest level of VIP tickets were sold out. We did get high touch tickets though.
The concert started with individual videos of the members and a lot of waiting and screeming every time there was a hint of the members coming out. The venue, House of Blues, was nice despite the lack of chairs. We stood toward the back of the second teir of the building by the bar (which proved to be helpful when it came to lining up for the high touch session) and security was pretty tight so we couldn't get any photos of the members.
The performance overall was amazing. The members really put in their best efforts. They were pouring sweat after every song, and the song selection itself was very nice. Gotta love those pants too. The only complaint I had was that the translator during the variety-type speaking part only translating certain things. I respect that his job is difficult but there were moments where large sums of words were spoken and they simply weren't translated.
After the performaces they played a video of the members with personalized messages to the concert attendees. While it was clearly prerecorded and scripted, it was really cute and thoughtful. I think the overall concert aimed to be more catering to the audience and fans than any other concert i've been to. In fact, my friend said the concert's performance value was better than Lady Gaga's at Art Rave and Ed Sheeran's (which was in the same venue). It really shows how hard the members all work and how they appreciate what they do. I hope that in the future they can go on to even better things.
As for the High-Touch session, we were lined up and waited until it began. It went pretty fast. The translator asked us to hold up our left hands (I prefer my right but ok) and when I got up there (my friends shoved me in front of them, traitors) I was taken back by their hight. Not pointing any names but someone (Leo) had clammy hands. I blame it on how hard he gripped the mic in his performance. Basically High Touch went like a blur. I mainly remember seeing Leo, Hongbin, and N (my bias at the end). In the most awkward way possible I got to the end of the line and said "I love you" with a smile to N (in a totally non creepy way, I swear i'm not like that).
Overall the entire concert was a great experience. It was definitely worth the 150, and the night was exhilerating. It was everything I wanted and more. Honestly I'm still in denial that it happened, or that the members exist. This was my first K-pop concert and it was definitely worth it.
P.S. If you want to know, me and two friends were in denim vests with patches with our bias' names on the back (we definitely didn't sew those on the way to the hotel). They were super cute. If you saw us let me know.
