SCHEDULE
The concert is scheduled to start at 19h30 and finish around 22h30. Here is the detailed program for the Amsterdam concert. The Paris concerts should be organized in the same way. We'll be posting the latest information on our social networks to help you prepare for your visit.
Details of the VIP program (door opening, soundcheck, access, etc.) will be e-mailed shortly.
As a guide, for Amsterdam:
8am VIP Check-In line opens
10am-3pm VIP Check-In
4pm VIP doors open
5pm Soundcheck
5:30pm General public doors open
7:30pm Concert begins
10:30pm Approximative end of the concert
If you have a general (non-VIP) ticket, we advise you to arrive at least 1 hour before the start of the concert to ensure you have time to get through the security check and to your seat. There's no need to queue all day waiting for the gates to open, but you can come and enjoy the activities around the stadium or buy merchandise.
At a Stray Kids concert, it's common to see STAYs handing out freebies, dance crews performing and so on... It's a time of sharing and conviviality.
If you have a VIP ticket, you'll need to get to the stadium before the VIP doors open, during the check-in period, which will be specified before the concert.
WARNING: please follow the instructions and times that will be sent to you by e-mail, so as not to lose your VIP advantages by arriving too late.
STADIUM GATES AND ENTRANCES
Access to the stadium is regulated and organized. On your ticket, it is written which sector and which gate you must enter through. Refer to this and to the stadium map (available on their website) to find the entrance that corresponds to your seat.
The gates are also indicated on Google Maps if you want to plan your route as closely as possible.
Allow plenty of time to reach your gate, as the stadium is large and it can easily take 20 minutes to walk around it.
VIP NUMBERING
VIPs will receive an e-mail a few days before the concert, containing practical information specific to their concert date.
The following information is based on the experiences of VIPs in other cities, so it's not certain that the same will apply in Paris. As a rough guide, here's an example of a VIP day to give you an idea of how it might work:
A random numbering system was set up. It was official and organized by Live Nation. The number was determined by the wristband received at Check-In. The queue to access Check-in began to form at 8am.
At the Check-in stand, the ticket was checked (if the name entered is not your own, it is advisable to bring a copy of the purchaser's ID and a sworn statement). You should receive your VIP gifts, a laminate, a necklace and a numbered bracelet.
Once you had checked in, it was sometimes possible to enter an intermediate area between the outer doors and the pit, where you had to wait until the doors opened. A merchandising stand reserved for VIPs was accessible in this area.
Finally, when the doors were about to open, VIPs were invited to take their place in line, following the numbering on their wristbands, in order to gain access to the parterre.
This procedure may differ from city to city, as each stadium configuration is different. Please do not take this information for granted, and refer to the e-mail you will receive applying to Paris.
TOILETS, WATER POINTS AND INFIRMARY
Toilets are available around the Stadium (as well as inside). They are normally located at the ends of the Stadium, towards gates A, X, J and R. If you are leaving the queue, we advise you to warn the people around you and tell them that you are going to the toilet and that you'll be right back. It's important to be seen so you have a better chance of getting back to your spot in line.
You'll find water points and infirmaries throughout the stadium. If a plan is shared by the Stade de France, we'll share it, but don't hesitate to ask a security guard or first-aider if you need help.
OFFICIAL MERCH
Official merchandising should be available at several stands, but their exact number and location will be confirmed in a few days' time.
According to previous dates (such as Frankfurt or Amsterdam), there was:
-
one stand outside the stadium
-
several stands inside
For other concerts (e.g. Imagine Dragons at the Stade de France), the stands were located outside (gates A, U, R, N and E) and inside (gates H, A, X). It's possible that Paris will be similar, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Possible opening times, based on previous European dates (to be confirmed for Paris):
-
Friday (day before the concert): ~12pm - 6-8pm
-
Saturday & Sunday (concert days): ~10am/11am - until the end of the concert
Pre-orders are not possible. In Amsterdam, a click and collect system was set up. We'll let you know if this is the case for Paris. Stand opening times vary from date to date, so keep an eye out for the latest information on opening times and locations in Paris.
Waiting time (estimates):
There may be a long queue, but according to other European dates, waiting time is not so long once the stand is open (~30min to 1h). On the other hand, stocks are limited on each product, and some products may be sold out within 15 minutes of opening. Restocking is done for each day of sale.
Means of payment (to be confirmed) :
Credit cards accepted. Cash is still to be confirmed, so please bring both as a precaution.
You can see an overview of merchandising content and prices on our Instagram account (stray_kids_france) or LiveNation Kpop's (livenation.kpop).
FREEBIES BY STAYS
Freebies can take all kinds of forms (unofficial photocards, stickers, bracelets, key rings, etc.), are made by fans and are offered as gifts, without compensation, or in exchange for another freebie, depending on the person. Don't forget to thank the person who gave them to you, as they spent a lot of time creating them! Of course, don't be greedy: take one freebie and that's it.
People who have made freebies usually come to you, but it's perfectly normal to ask if you do it nicely. Some people who give freebies stay in one place and wait for people to come to them instead of going around handing things out. We've shared a post on our twitter account (straykidsfrance) where STAYs preparing freebies have come forward. Don't hesitate to take a look!
LIGHTSTICK
The lightstick is the official light accessory used during K-pop concerts. It's a connected lightstick that lights up in time with the music and visual effects of the concert. For Stray Kids, it's called the Nachimbong, which means compass in Korean (나침반).
There are two editions of the Nachimbong:
- Version 1 (V1): first version released a few years ago. It cannot be synchronized with the official app or with the concert control system.
- Version 2 (V2): the only version compatible with the “STRAY KIDS LIGHT STICK V2” app and show synchronization. This is the one that will be on sale during the tour.
→ The V1 will only work in manual mode, with no link to the show.
The official lightstick will be on sale at merch stands, for €75. Quantities will be limited. There won't be enough to go around, especially if the show gets very busy on Friday. But you don't have to have a lightstick to enjoy the concert!
On the day of the concert, you won't need to do a thing to synchronize it to the event. Simply switch on your lightstick and it will connect automatically about 5 minutes before the start of the concert. The light will turn red. If the lightstick disconnects, just press the button for 10 seconds to reboot the system.
CONCERT ETIQUETTE
These concerts are a unique moment shared between Stray Kids and the STAYs. To make sure everyone gets the most out of it, here's a quick reminder of how to adopt the best possible attitude during the event. We've also included a few things you need to know about how a Stray Kids concert works!
RESPECT THE SPACE OF OTHERS
Even if the atmosphere is crazy, avoid pushing and be careful with your space, especially in the pits! For your own safety, but also for Stray Kids' peace of mind. They won't hesitate to stop the concert to ask you to give people some space.
Beware of lightsticks or banners/posters, and avoid raising them in front of anyone's face. We're here to enjoy together, without hurting or ruining anyone else's experience.
BE KIND AND COURTEOUS
Don't leave your trash behind, either in the waiting area in front of the Stadium or inside!
Keep a friendly attitude, even in a tight crowd.
RESPECT SPEAKING TIMES
We know we want to give the members a great time, but during the speeches, let them express themselves without shouting. If an interpreter is present, be patient before shouting, and let the person carry what Stray Kids say properly!
RESPECT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND ORGANISATION
Read our safety section carefully, and be sure to follow the instructions given by the staff on site, and even by Stray Kids.
TAKE PART IN SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
During CINEMA, Lee Know and Seungmin let STAYs sing the harmonies. Let's get ready to give it our all!
Some choruses or intros (like God's Menu, Back Door, S-Class, etc.) have well-known fanchants. Other songs, like TOPLINE, have highlights that Stray Kids always look forward to! Check out the lyrics to sing along with the whole stadium!
During BLIND SPOT, JYPe asks STAYs to light up Stray Kids with their phone flash, transforming the stadium into a starry sky.
Mission Cover Me : after the song, sing Seungmin’s chorus!
STAYS DANCECAM
The STAY DanceCam is when the camera turns to STAYs to capture their best dance moves during the concert. The idea is to go all out, smile, and show how much fun you're having. Even a simple heart with your hands can get you noticed if you put your mind to it.
But if you want to review a few dance steps first, the missions often include choreographies of their title tracks (Thunderous, S-Class, God's Menu, Chk Chk Boom etc.).
TIPS FROM OUR ADMINS
Everyone is free to live their concert experience as they wish! But you want to sing along with Stray Kids and the crowd, and you're having a bit of trouble with the lyrics? On YouTube, you can find a multitude of “Easy Lyrics” or “Romanised Lyrics” videos with phonetics or lyric facilitation! It's always a little help.
Please also protect your hearing with earplugs.
