So seeing that they went to the original Starbucks today and seeing Dan's little hand over his heart and their smiles has me like
Maybe I'm sentimentalizing something that isn't remotely meaningful to them and hey, maybe they just rly like the coffee. But idk I can't help but see it as cute as fuck.
I used to work at Starbucks and they definitely don't go there for the coffee

I was a barista for a year and still love the drinks (especially the caramel macchiatos). It's not the most high end stuff but it's pretty delicious. That being I think they true coffee plebs (like me) and just enjoy coffee no matter what form!

It does a bit doesn't it? But the subject of people trying and failing at various jobs is a fairly popular comedy concept. I don't know if you meant it like that, but I don't think Jack and Dean try or need to adopt deppy's niche/brand. Also they stated working on their series before the calendar was even released, so I think the similarity is a coincidence.
(Having watched the J&D series trailer, I have however imagined Deppy doing a show/series like that (probably with the help of professional filmmakers) and I think they could make it good. I'd watch it.)

Thanks to everyone for enlightenment about the Deppy's ticket scam. The more you know.

Cute Starbucks picture is cute. I am team #matching clothes on purpose. Also their hair is styled very similarly in this pic.

It's probably because it's so much more expensive for them to travel to Australia/they'll make less profit than in the US so they have to make up the costs through their pricing

Its the logistics cost babe, also because there are only 5 venues hence total cost divided only between these 5 profit centres as opposed to multiple venues in USA.

Perhaps I'm seeing the wrong info here, but I looked at the VIP tickets for Perth which are $108 AU which converts to about $80 USD which seems about the same price as they are in the US (before fees)?

I just had a look at the prices and honestly, they seem about right compared to the US tour. I paid $75USD for gold seating here which looks comparable given Aus gold is approx $100. And wasn't USA meet and greet $150? Again, not too far off. And I paid $50 for all the way up the back nosebleed seats to see Troye Sivan and Troye is playing is a dramatically bigger venue.

EDIT: I realised all I have posted about lately is this fucking show I just have nothing better to contribute ok

They look beautiful going to Starbucks #1 ok bye

yea it's a reference to the common stereotype that all while girls drink sugary Starbucks drinks (along with wearing leggings and uggs, I hope they're just out of frame)

Someone told me vip in US is like 130USD? In australia it's 200+ AUD which is around 150+USD. The other tickets are similar price to US.

I feel like they're bending the truth a bit but then I didn't expect any less. Are they truly meant to tweet "guys please take the free tickets cos we can't sell them", that would be very poor advertising for their Australian tour that they've just announced.

I don't think it really matters to us even if they are lying anyway, they clearly need the show for pick-ups (I went to a small UK 1D gig at the O2 that was for pick-ups for their film, it was really intriguing watching them shoving cameras in the boys face and having them re-run bits of songs and set up for Liam "surprising" Harry by yanking down his trousers haha) and so long as the area around the stage and the front of the balconys are full, they won't care - camera tricks can be used to pad out a venue. At this point, it's probably more important they get the material they need than have a DVD full of mistakes or angles they missed or bits of the show they screwed up. My two cents anyway lol I don't really care.

In the UK, they flogged tickets for cheap to plant butts also but it's just the same as people being able to get last minute flights for cheap or free, it's just the way the cookie crumbles and I don't think anyone needs to be jealous or angry about it. This isn't a unique situation and makes sense. It's still a bit lolzor though, I did whatsapp missemma about it though and be all like haha lolzor. But so long as they produce a good DVD I'm pretty chill.

Sulking there was no ls this week though, I really had a feeling they'd do one Sunday or Monday and nothing. Pouts.

As for that pic, well. Phil you stay exactly where you are because you are PER-FECT (cookie to anyone who knows where that's from ahaha).

I don't think anybody expected D+P to come out and admit they're not able to sell enough tickets either lol. I can't really imagine them being that real with us, no offense to them

I think I just expected them to ignore all questions of "why???" like they usually do whenever they do something worth questioning. When the same situation happened with the discounted London tickets, did they answer one tweet as to why they were doing it? I don't think they did. If they did then I'll stand corrected.

It was the transparency of the lie (and the fact that he even answered that tweet) that amused me and made me want to discuss it to blow a hole right through the explanation. I'm totally unaffected by this turn of events but I can empathize with why some people who paid to sit in the mezzanine would be upset that now they're giving away free tickets. Sure, it's all business and I'm sure many know that, but it still sucks for those people. Especially if $45 (or however much it was) was a lot of money for them to be spending.

I really hoped it's something different. So men are too manly to drink coffee and every white girl=American white girl. Got it.

(Don't mind my bitching, I just really don't like when cis men call themselves girls because they're doing something stereotypical. That's so silly. )

He meant it ironically. Because him and Phil aren't traditionally alpha male and what they usually do, especially phil, are constantly deemed unmanly by stereotypical standards. (ie pumpkin latte and all the sugary fruity cocktail with tiny umbrellas) So what he said is basically him being unapologetic about who he is and be "we are not manly men but it's okay cuz we are comfortable about it".

Ticketmaster says tickets are $75 - $105 Australian dollars which seems reasonable for a ticket in Australia. I don't know if that $105 is for a meet and greet ticket or just one of the better normal seats.

For the Palais Theatre (Melbourne), there are three prices for regular seats: gold ($100), silver ($80) and bronze ($55). M&G is $200. All of these actually have $6.65 added on.

M&G is too expensive for me though

also I know it's been 20 pages but the superfluous comma in the thread title makes me wince every time I read it

They can't drink their goddamn drink without whining about how girly it is. That's your average white male right there if you'd ask me.

I don't think that that's what they are trying to say. Starbucks has been jokingly associated with "the common white girl" for ages, so the are merely jokingly referencing this common belief.

As I could probably be called one, I don't know how I feel about it!. However this is the probable reasoning behind "white girl pilgrimage"

As a basic white girl myself I find it funny (except that I'm a coffee snob.) I don't see how its particularly insulting as the stereotype is...kind of harmless? It's not like being associated with Uggs, Starbucks and leggings is such a terrible thing.

The Starbucks meme is old as balls, are people really upset by this.

Ugh that photo though. Move over Daniel, because Philip is dominating the photo. I wish he wore his glasses more.

I am a complete basic white girl and I found it hilarious . I love Starbucks. Leggings and uggs (except for pumpkin spiced lattes!) It is just a harmless stereotype to me because most of the time it is true.
Dan was just making a joke. He is just referencing a meme that is well known throughout the Internet.

[offtopic]I don't like sugary coffee that much in the first place but pumpkin spice lattes in particular are nasty, I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with them.

Finally someone agrees with me. Every time Dan and Phil go to Starbucks in DITL I wish to redirect them somewhere else because I'm a filthy hipster.[/offtopic]
