Hi guys... I seek your help/consultation once more 'cos I'm uncertain how things operate when it comes to VIP tickets (1st timer) This post from Amy for my mind's all mixed and need some clarifications: So...how does this one goes? I mean, I notice VIP holders get a signed tour program but don't get a signed poster but we can take signed item(s) Question: how many per person? *obviously not a lot but maybe a CD and a poster? Question: Are we subjected to bag control before and after the M&G? (*like, if I take things for the band, will I be delayed/hold back/lose my spot in queue for an inspection? Question: Can anyone, who has been to a VIP soundcheck M&G give me a like a step by step guideline of how things operate? I know we're to get an e-mail with further instructions but I don't wanna wait that long to find out!!! Question: How long does the whole gig lasts? I saw the set list in one of the posts and I can't stop thinking that I might not catch the train back to the place I'm staying as I'll be seeing them in 'foreign' territory Question: How easy is it to talk to each member whilst having another ....(x amount of fans/VIP holders) there at the same time?! Do you approach them or do people go in in turns? you're all in a part of the concert area all together? !!! I think that's all I've got to ask for now and thanks to anyone taking their time to respond! Nat.

Unfortunately due to the complex structure of the shows, the band is not signing anything at the VIP for the Synthesis shows, but you will receive a pre signed tour booklet.
As I understand it you can still take gifts in for the band
I haven't had my VIP yet but I'm sure there is someone who can break it down for you. I believe that there is a champagne toast as a group first and then you go get your photo one by one at which point you get some time to chat with the band members.

Lycrymosa: Thanks for answering my question in regards to getting item(s) signed and even though I am disappointed at this news, what VIP holders receive (sound-check, champagne toast, best seats in the house by name so that ticket vultures don't buy in excess and re-sale, etc) AND the signed Tour program/time with the band is more than generous and anyone can ask for! I mean, just to be in the same room with the band whilst they rehearse...WOW, I can't wait for that moment alone. As for the rest of my questions, if anyone can take the time to guide us through everything that I am POSITIVE it only lasts a few minutes but I'm curious about the timeline (of the entire procedure). Tnx! Nat.

I'd imagine there could be slight variations from country to country and venue to venue, but I know PJ. and turdyturderson have recently met the band if you peeps have any pointers? (:

(: For T1, you check in... getting your signed book and other VIP swag...soundcheck, then you go to do the toast...pic and then you go to merch. That's everything! Unfortunately, no signing and not really much 1 on 1 with the band. You still get to chat a little before the pic but not too much. I still had a wonderful time!

Nashville was a very easy venue to see them by the buses...ATL wasn't. I just say, try it...if security tells you to leave then leave. But worth a try!

I’m sorrg for the late reply. On vacay at the moment. Our soundcheck was long - like a second concert, which was awesome! The actualy meet and greet was a little hurried, but it worth it to be able to talk to the band for a couple of minutes. I would do it again

I'm so nervous to meet the band this coming Sunday! I hope I don't geek out too much
How much time exactly do you get to spend with the band? And I'm going by myself, will I be forced into a group photo with other people like at the Gaga Joanne World Tour VIP? (No shade at Gaga I LOVE her)

Can someone who has been to the T1 champagne toast PLEASE tell me if you know what champagne that was?! I just went last night and it was delicious (I usually hate champagne), but I was so flustered that I totally didn't get the chance to ask anyone what it was. If no one knows - if someone is attending an upcoming T1 champagne toast can you try and find out? 🙏🏻 It was yummy, I'd like more of it lol. How much time exactly do you get to spend with the band? And I'm going by myself, will I be forced into a group photo with other people like at the Gaga Joanne World Tour VIP? (No shade at Gaga I LOVE her) Unfortunately not much, you'll see them come in for the toast and you'll get to kind of hang around while that happens. Then you'll be asked to line up, and when it's your turn you'll give everything you're holding to Beth (she's lovely, I was a total wreck and l was like "I'm so sorry I have so much going on" and she was so sweet about it) so you can go meet the band. You'll walk down the line and say hi to each person and shake hands, you'll have a couple more seconds to say something/if you want to give them something you'll be able to do that - then they'll take your photo and you'll be given your stuff back and you'll head down to the lobby where you can do all your merch shopping in your own sweet time and wait for the doors to open. Don't worry - it's a single photo with just you and the band ETA: I went by myself too and it was still a photo with just me and them, even if you're alone. It was short and of course I wish we had all the time in the world, but I didn't feel necessarily "hurried" as some other people have mentioned Did they come out afterwards for the show(s) that you went to? I'm wondering if they will for mine. I don't know if your show has already happened yet, but they came out for mine last night! They were very nice and laid back and stuck around chatting and they were happy to sign things and take photos with people (which was awesome because I got to apologize for being such a spaz during the m&g). There also wasn't a large crowd of people waiting or anything. Like 15-20 people max. So it's definitely possible but not guaranteed. Our show ended a little after 10 and they didn't come out until around 11:45ish Posts merged - Rark

I'm hoping that since that is the day Synthesis releases they'll be excited and come out after the show

Aw you're so welcome!! I'm glad I could help I was absolutely nervous going into it, especially since I was by myself and had never done a VIP/meet&greet thing before - so I'm happy to help give other people an idea of what they're in for so you don't have to stress about it like I did

Rarkphoenix, PJ, turdyturderson & liminally: Thank you for taking time to reply...it gives us all a clear-er picture of the process (even thought someone said it -might- vary from country/venue) before a concert. I feel better and more prepared for when the time comes (for the M&G). I do feel sad that I won't get to interact with them for more than a minute or two but being in a soundcheck and toast with them, hell even in the same room/venue place!, its a once of a lifetime experience and can't wait for it!!!
Also, can someone let me know (more or less) how long the show lasts?! I take it the band comes on stage approximately around 21:00pm, right? (*since doors open at 19:00pm)
Tnx!
Nat.
