I have been waiting to see Britney Spears since I was a fat eight-year old kid singing Baby One More Time in my underpants while my mom was still at work and I should have been doing my homework. This was a moment I've been waiting for for almost two decades. And I got to do it. FINALLY!
You go through a security check when you enter the venue, but it's pretty standard. They also get you to take a photo with your group, which you can view and purchase after the show; they automatically print the photos, which seems like a waste for those who aren't willing to shell out $30 for the shot.
Things I enjoyed:
1) Britney's bangin' body. WHOA.
2) Choreography was on point.
3) The dancers were killer! Guys, you're amazing.
4) SET DESIGN BLEW ME AWAY. Still thinking about it.
5) I don't care if she lip syncs, I was fucking entertained.
6) Ushers and security were very helpful. I am dumb. Help to find seat pls.
7) Got to hear every song I expected to hear. Fangirl status: satisfied.
8) Those costumes were awesome. Wardrobe department, you rock!
9) You could see a lot of careful thought and detail went into this show.
10) Britney is the cutest. "Are you guys ready to break the motherfucking ice?!"
Tickets could be cheaper, but I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. I was a little pissed that everyone was asked to stand up in the seated area, as I have a shitty leg condition that makes standing for long periods of time very painful. I found a way to lean on my seat that made it better, but I wasn't expecting that. So heads up if you've got some physical ailment that makes it tough (or impossible) to stand and dance with the rest of the crowd; you won't be able to see.
The merch was ridiculous. $40+ for shirts. Come on, man. FORTY DOLLARS. FOR. A. TANK. TOP. My concert merch limit is normally $35 and that's for HOODIES.
But I got a fucking tank top and the group photo. Fuck it. You only live once.
