Twickets for Dan and Phil's World Tour is now open, I think. Could try selling them there:

I'm kind of worried they will not completely sell out for the show (idk if it's normal that they don't sell out everywhere)

The first time, I had only been into them for about 3 or 4 months I think and I was having a drink with my best friend in a bar in the O2 in London (the O2 is a massive place which has a concert arena, plus lots of restaurants and bars in). We had had a few beers and were sitting outside the bar chatting when I noticed Phil walking towards the exit. They were finishing rehearsals for The Brits and were on their way home. Tbh I was a bit tipsy and caught Phil's eye and waved him over, surprised he came tbh as it was pretty random, we aren't exactly young and we had a table of beers haha! Dan did follow him but probably a bit more slowly. We had a nice chat about what they had been up to, they mentioned they had been into Taylor Swifts dressing room and I proceeded to tell them she wasn't really my thing, but Take That were on the bill and I would have been jealous if they had gone into their dressing room, to which Phil told me his Mum loved Gary Barlow (I told him he was cheeky and I wasn't as old as his Mum ). Dan was quite quiet to start with (my best mate isn't a Deppy fan and she said she found him rude but tbh I think he was just awkward and probably wondered who these two random women were), but he did warm up and was asking us questions about what we were up to/what we were doing the next day when the brits were on. In the end I said to them that they were probably keen to get going and thanked them for stopping, and asked them for a quick photo before they went which they kindly took. They were nice and it was just normal, Phil was definitely more chatty than Dan but like I said, thinking back now I'm not surprised seeing as it was quite random. I always wish I had stopped to offer them a drink but #tipsybrain

The second and third time were both before/after work related things. When they did the iTunes q&a in November 2015 me and @human were on our way to the station home when we saw a few people waiting, and then saw Dan and Phil emerge from the door on their way home. Seeing as they stopped to take photos with the fans waiting we decided to also loiter, it was quite funny as most of the girls waiting were so excited and hyper and we were just like "we are too old for this". All the others did go in for hugs and were really excited and hyper, we didn't go in for a hug and it wasn't awkward at all, we told them that the q&a was good, and that we had been enjoying tatinof. Human told them that we had seen the show quite a few times, most of them after a few drinks to which Dan said "thats the best way to see it". Think we mentioned we were coming to the London shows and wished them a good evening and got a group photo. The photo is my favourite one actually - I would post it but not sure if Human wants her face on here. Again, they were really relaxed but it was a much quicker hello and goodbye and their manager, Marianne (amazing woman) was waiting for them to go to their car.
The other time was before their show in New York that we had traveled over to see, again with Human. We were lucky enough to see them on the street the show was on. Tbh for me it didn't seem weird stopping and just saying hello, they were close to the venue and assume they were on their way there so was kinda in a working capacity in my mind. They didn't seem to mind stopping and we had a chat with them, they asked if we had tickets for the show, which we did but they were going to offer us some if we hadn't, which was really nice of them. Again, Phil was a lot more chatty than Dan but it was relaxed (surprising seeing as how ill Phil said he was, which I totally didn't realise) and it was just chilled out. I think we were chatting for about 5 minutes. We asked them for a photo before we left, which they agreed to.

The last time was at a signing for tatinof in Milton Keynes, it was over within 10 seconds, Dan did most of the talking "thank you for coming, hope you like the book etc etc" but Phil was really sincere as I mentioned I had made them some cakes for the Sheffield show in tatinof and he said how much he liked them and how funny they were. Tbh it was probably my least favourite time of meeting them because it was just like a conveyer belt, the queue was massive (I was probably in the last 10 people) and they must have been shattered. People were coming out of the shop screaming and crying and someone fainted and they helped her out, that in itself must be super stressful. It did feel less personal though but they were nice all the same. Here is a video of that meeting, it makes me cringe watching it now tbh, but Phil does seem very genuine I think (marianne in the background having a little giggle, again can i just say, nicest lady ever).

I've met deppy four times, 1 time completely in the wild, twice in the wild but during work related things and once at a book signing.

Bet you wished you had never asked now tbh if I saw them in the street now, just randomly not when they were working etc, then I probably wouldn't stop them. I think it would feel kinda weird, as they're just trying to go about their normal lives and it must be annoying if you want to go out for a coffee for instance and someone stops you to get a photo. If it was at a work thing, like the itunes thing then I would have no problem stopping them to say hello. I agree with others when they say, keep calm. It's much nicer and you get to have a decent conversation with them, at the end of the day they are just normal people.

edit: i forgot to say that obviously stalking is not okay at all, and that i hope to god no one does that to them during the tour (like how young people stalk literally the entire riverdale cast here ), i'm just curious about the meetings that happen purely by being in the same place at the same time.

These are all such lovely stories thanks for sharing! That's amazing Phil stopped when you beckoned him over to your table in the O2!! And how cute of them to offer you tickets to the New York show

I live round the corner from their old flat and I often wondered what I'd do if I saw them on the street but I never did (well actually I''m 80% sure I saw the back of Phil's head go into the tube station once haha but that doesn't really count). I think in that situation I would feel too weird to say anything because it would have been close to their house and so might seem too implausible to them that I wasn't stalking them, I actually do live in the area. But it'd be ace to be wandering around Brighton or wherever and see them, I'd for sure go up. I think they'd probably be more receptive to it when they're in 'tour mode', too.

I've never really been to a show of any kind before, so what do I know. Did tickets for TATINOF sell out quicker?

The last time was at a signing for tatinof in Milton Keynes, it was over within 10 seconds, Dan did most of the talking "thank you for coming, hope you like the book etc etc" but Phil was really sincere as I mentioned I had made them some cakes for the Sheffield show in tatinof and he said how much he liked them and how funny they were. Tbh it was probably my least favourite time of meeting them because it was just like a conveyer belt, the queue was massive (I was probably in the last 10 people) and they must have been shattered. People were coming out of the shop screaming and crying and someone fainted and they helped her out, that in itself must be super stressful. It did feel less personal though but they were nice all the same. Here is a video of that meeting, it makes me cringe watching it now tbh, but Phil does seem very genuine I think (marianne in the background having a little giggle, again can i just say, nicest lady ever).

Bet you wished you had never asked now tbh if I saw them in the street now, just randomly not when they were working etc, then I probably wouldn't stop them. I think it would feel kinda weird, as they're just trying to go about their normal lives and it must be annoying if you want to go out for a coffee for instance and someone stops you to get a photo. If it was at a work thing, like the itunes thing then I would have no problem stopping them to say hello. I agree with others when they say, keep calm. It's much nicer and you get to have a decent conversation with them, at the end of the day they are just normal people.

I've met deppy four times, 1 time completely in the wild, twice in the wild but during work related things and once at a book signing.

I'll put these under a spoiler as it might be quite long (skip this for those who have heard the stories before).

The first time, I had only been into them for about 3 or 4 months I think and I was having a drink with my best friend in a bar in the O2 in London (the O2 is a massive place which has a concert arena, plus lots of restaurants and bars in). We had had a few beers and were sitting outside the bar chatting when I noticed Phil walking towards the exit. They were finishing rehearsals for The Brits and were on their way home. Tbh I was a bit tipsy and caught Phil's eye and waved him over, surprised he came tbh as it was pretty random, we aren't exactly young and we had a table of beers haha! Dan did follow him but probably a bit more slowly. We had a nice chat about what they had been up to, they mentioned they had been into Taylor Swifts dressing room and I proceeded to tell them she wasn't really my thing, but Take That were on the bill and I would have been jealous if they had gone into their dressing room, to which Phil told me his Mum loved Gary Barlow (I told him he was cheeky and I wasn't as old as his Mum ). Dan was quite quiet to start with (my best mate isn't a Deppy fan and she said she found him rude but tbh I think he was just awkward and probably wondered who these two random women were), but he did warm up and was asking us questions about what we were up to/what we were doing the next day when the brits were on. In the end I said to them that they were probably keen to get going and thanked them for stopping, and asked them for a quick photo before they went which they kindly took. They were nice and it was just normal, Phil was definitely more chatty than Dan but like I said, thinking back now I'm not surprised seeing as it was quite random. I always wish I had stopped to offer them a drink but #tipsybrain

The second and third time were both before/after work related things. When they did the iTunes q&a in November 2015 me and @human were on our way to the station home when we saw a few people waiting, and then saw Dan and Phil emerge from the door on their way home. Seeing as they stopped to take photos with the fans waiting we decided to also loiter, it was quite funny as most of the girls waiting were so excited and hyper and we were just like "we are too old for this". All the others did go in for hugs and were really excited and hyper, we didn't go in for a hug and it wasn't awkward at all, we told them that the q&a was good, and that we had been enjoying tatinof. Human told them that we had seen the show quite a few times, most of them after a few drinks to which Dan said "thats the best way to see it". Think we mentioned we were coming to the London shows and wished them a good evening and got a group photo. The photo is my favourite one actually - I would post it but not sure if Human wants her face on here. Again, they were really relaxed but it was a much quicker hello and goodbye and their manager, Marianne (amazing woman) was waiting for them to go to their car.
The other time was before their show in New York that we had traveled over to see, again with Human. We were lucky enough to see them on the street the show was on. Tbh for me it didn't seem weird stopping and just saying hello, they were close to the venue and assume they were on their way there so was kinda in a working capacity in my mind. They didn't seem to mind stopping and we had a chat with them, they asked if we had tickets for the show, which we did but they were going to offer us some if we hadn't, which was really nice of them. Again, Phil was a lot more chatty than Dan but it was relaxed (surprising seeing as how ill Phil said he was, which I totally didn't realise) and it was just chilled out. I think we were chatting for about 5 minutes. We asked them for a photo before we left, which they agreed to.

These are all such lovely stories thanks for sharing! That's amazing Phil stopped when you beckoned him over to your table in the O2!! And how cute of them to offer you tickets to the New York show

I live round the corner from their old flat and I often wondered what I'd do if I saw them on the street but I never did (well actually I''m 80% sure I saw the back of Phil's head go into the tube station once haha but that doesn't really count). I think in that situation I would feel too weird to say anything because it would have been close to their house and so might seem too implausible to them that I wasn't stalking them, I actually do live in the area. But it'd be ace to be wandering around Brighton or wherever and see them, I'd for sure go up. I think they'd probably be more receptive to it when they're in 'tour mode', too.

I'd be an anxious mess 100% of the time if I lived so close!

I've lived in the area most of my life so I felt like they were on my patch when I found out they'd moved here!

When I was living with my ex, I had him on constant Dan and Phil watch every time he left the house, and when I moved back in with my dad I got him to do the same so I think they were more on edge than me about it!

It did make me realise how many of the people that 'coincidentally bumped into them on/near their street' were completely stalking them though because me/my ex/my dad /brothers literally walked down that road 20 times a day between us (often past their flat too) almost the whole time they were living there, and never saw them once except the thrilling tale of the back of Phil's head.

Agree with RiRiPandaHeart2 regarding the ticket sales in Manila. However, I believe that a lot of people will buy after the holiday season since i'm pretty sure they will ask this for Christmas gifts from their parents. I also saw a lot of Filipino fans on Twitter saying that they will buy tickets when the event is already near since they still need to save money to see Dan and Phil. Filipino fans still have 10 months to save so I think it will be fine

it’s like this girl who is in the twitter phandom. she has met dan and phil about 6 times but went to get her “hair dyed” at a salon in (the area where they used to live) and coincidentally bumped into them again. it definitely wasn’t coincidental. she’s obviously just a massive stalker.
