Yeah, it is insane at the prices. I mentioned that too.
There has been this huge surge of bands doing VIP tickets and especially VIP meet and greets lately. Even all the smaller bands coming to London, ON with ticket prices of $30-40 are doing like $150 VIP packages to meet the band, take a photo, get in early to see them play 2 songs during soundcheck and then get the rail.
It's frustrating for someone like myself who attends a lot of shows and can't afford the VIP all the time. What happened to the days when I was just able to show up early and be first in line to get the rail? Now even if I show up early, I don't know if I am first in line, or behind 50 people who paid for VIP.....not cool...
