I scored a ticket to the #ATEEZ pop-up shop and am heading off there now to see if I can buy a light stick and perhaps some other merch.
For anyone else in Melbourne who might be interested: https://events.humanitix.com/ateez-2026-world-tour-in-your-fantasy-melbourne-official-pop-up
Tickets are made available at 9am each day. Today's allocation was all gone by 9.05 am.
well, I got the light stick at least!
and a couple of cute fluffy pastel hair clips from the 8room collection
but I mostly wanted a keyring and/or anything aniteez, and those had all sold out already.
they may have new allocations of some of these things tomorrow, but no guarantees. so I am not going to fret over it.
I may not have been able to score any official aniteez merch BUT
was walking past Flying Tiger on the way home and they had some cute and cheap stuff, so I poked around in there.
found a yellow fluffy chick hat with dangly bits that I can squeeze to make the wings flap!
this is the most perfect concert attire.
I get to signal that I have a bias, and it's Mingi, because he's the bias that the universe wanted me to have.
also found a small fluffy pink bunny pouch for Seonghwa, that I can attach to my cross-body bag.
sad that Flying Tiger didn't have any hamster-themed things for Hongjoong, but feeling blessed to have the chick & bunny.
also the bunny had a tiny notepad, pen & sticker sheet inside, which I wasn't expecting at all, so that's a nice bonus.
