i did talk to dnp about it, but then i got blessed during the intermission (i wasn't hounding anyone this time! it was very spontaneous, and it wasn't the merch crew, stop yelling at me), so here's a product of both interactions:
- the upgrade thing was sent out to the venues. they have all the information about the tickets, their holders, and everything;
- the venues select the winners and contact them via email;
- the selection happens a few days before the show (which is fine for the shows after September but very shady for the 1st leg because not everyone participates, basically);
- neither dnp nor their team have any control over this other than the brief they sent to the venues with basic "only general tickets" and etc. only general tickets, so no Silver VIP for sure. it's on the venues to do everything, and sometimes they make strange decisions. the Stockholm situation with the winners picked right before the show wasn't planned. the venue just didn't select anyone beforehand. the crew wasn't happy about it, lol;
- they will try to organise it differently/better for the US/Canada leg, because this was a bit chaotic. like, it worked but not the best.
note 1: i asked to put the terms on the website. not sure if it's gonna happen. i did try my best in the moment to explain why it's important for us to know the terms. and the person i was talking to during the intermission said that quite a few people ask about that ticket upgrade thing, so it would make sense to just put the info somewhere for people to see.
note 2: about the selection timeframe. it is weird, but that's what i was told. the venues live on their own planet, so idk if they actually selected everyone a few days before each show (minus Stockholm) or waited a bit more. in the USA, and further the plan is probably gonna be to stick to this timeframe. it's not a bad one, just doesn't suit the 1st leg since we could buy tickets on the days of the shows.
if i remember anything else about this, i'll update the post
I'll believe the funniest option and that is that philslion was dan but he never told phil. he also didn't forget about it but he felt too embarrassed to tell phil back in the day and it simply hasn't been brought up in years. so now he has to decide whether or not to tell phil later that it was actually him, thanks for coming to my ted talk
I hope they don't have children as long as they're here commanding the Phandom bc 1. No lameass baby deserves better treatment than a veteran Phannie and 2. It's way too big of a flex to be the child of THE Dan and Phil from AO3
no bc i keep listening to the audio of them answering the philslion question and it literally. does not debunk the theory at all. phil called it a “random account” and dan said “it was one of you” in his like. conspiracy voice. but neither of them actually said anything that explicitly indicates it wasn’t dan. like. they didn’t say it wasn’t him. the way they worded it was very specifically not a yes or no and could be interpreted either way imo but. they did not say. “no it wasn’t dan”
so real and true and im so glad the rest of u are thinking like this and it's not just me refusing to let go of the theory <3
