Passion Pit in Buenos Aires

I saw an advertisement saying that Passion Pit would be playing in Buenos Aires. This would be their first time to play in Argentina. Passion Pit are one of my favourite groups at the moment, I've seen them play 5 times in Ireland over the past 3 years so when I heard they were playing in Buenos Aires I wanted to go see them.

I bought the tickets on the internet but I didn't pay for delivery as there was a place near my house where I could collect the tickets thus avoiding the delivery charge. I'd paid 30 euros for 2 tickets, almost the same as the cost of one ticket in Ireland but Passion Pit would not be as popular in Argentina.


I never collected the tickets until the day of the concert because I went to Uruguay and because I was lazy. When I went to collect the tickets on the day of the concert there was a problem. There are always problems when I want to buy ticket in other countries. The computer in Groove wasn't working so they couldn't sell the tickets but at least this time I understood the girl when she told me this. She told me to call back later.


I noticed that the door was open so I went inside. There were a few guys working but they didn't say anything to me only "hello". I walked around the bar area then went up stairs and watched the sound check for Passion Pit. There were a few guys from the band on stage for this. There was a guy beside me taking photos and after he walked past me I noticed that he was one of the guys from Passion Pit. By the time I realised this it was too late to say anything.

That night I went early to Groove as I needed to collect the tickets before the gig would start. There were already a lot of people queuing outside. I got the tickets and went for dinner. when I got back there was a massive queue. We waited for about 1 hour until we were allowed enter. In Ireland we have support bands that play before the main act but in Argentina this does not seem to be the case. So once inside we waited for another 2 hours listening to a DJ and watching an empty stage. In the end Passion Pit came on stage and played for about 2 hours. At this stage Groove was full and it was really really warm. I don't think I've ever been at a concert where it was this warm before but the music, crowd and the atmosphere was great.

Passion Pit en Buenos Aires

El mes pasado vi un anuncio para Passion Pit. Decía que Passion Pit iban a tocar en Buenos Aires por primera vez. Passion Pit es mi grupo preferido ahora, fui a verlo cinco veces en Irlanda hace tres anos. Entonces cuando vi que ellos iban a tocar en Buenos Aires quise ir.

Yo compré dos entradas en Internet pero no pagé el delivery porque hay un lugar cerca de mi casa donde vos podes buscar las entradas personalmente. Yo pagé más de 30 euros para las dos entradas, casi lo mismo que una entrada en Irlanda pero allá Passion Pit son mas populares que en Argentina.

Yo no fui a buscar las entradas hasta el día del concierto porque fui a Uruguay y no tenía ganas. El día del concierto fui a Groove a buscar las entradas pero había un problema. Siempre hay problemas cuando quiero comprar entradas o boletos en otra piases. La computadora en Groove no andaba entonces no se podía vender las entradas pero al menos esa vez yo entendí cuando la chica me explicó no como otra veces cuando yo trataba comprar boletos y entradas cuando viajaba. La chica me pidió que volviera más tarde.

Yo me dí cuenta que las puertas estaban abiertas entonces yo entré. Había muchos chicos trabajando adentro pero no me dijeron nada solamente “hola”. Entonces caminé por el bar y subír la escalera y ví el ensayo donde estaba uno de los chicos de Passion Pit. Había otra chico al lado mío que sacaba fotos. Despues el pasó por al lado mío, yo me dí cuenta que el era un chico de Passion Pit. Yo no le dije nada porque no tuve tiempo.

El ensayo

Esa noche fui temperano a Groove porque necesitaba buscar las entradas cuando llegé habia cola afuera, mucho gente esperarando la apertura de Groove. Yo busqúe las entradas y fui a cenar. Después volví mas tarde, la cola era muy larga. Nosotros esperamos una hora hasta que nos permitieron entrar. En Irlanda hay bandas o grupos que tocen antes del grupo principal pero en argentina no hay. Entonces nosotros esperamos dos horas, escuchamos al DJ y vi el escenario vació!

Al final Passion Pit vinío al escenario y tocaron dos horas. En ese momento Groove estaba lleno, había mucho gente y hacía mucho calor pero estuvo muy bueno!
