VIP Disaster
by Quinlynn W on 8/30/23I had anticipated this concert for months and had talked highly of it to many people. I bought 2nd row floor tickets for my friend and I and flew out from Montana to see it. You can only imagine my frustration when after spending a couple grand on the trip(plane tickets, hotel, rental car, parking, food, ext) that the concert was cut an hour short. I took time off of work, worked hours of over time to afford the extremely expensive tickets only for it to end way sooner than advertised. If that wasn’t enough I also bought VIP packages for my friend and I. What a Mistake! We were given very little notice that they had decided that the schedule was changing and check in was an hour and a half earlier than scheduled. It caused us to have to cancel previous plans, and then even after accommodating to the new schedule stood in line for an hour and a half in the scorching sun. I had purchased VIP package B and while waiting in line they announced that package A(only difference being a send off that they didn’t even get to do) could cut in line! We had everyone behind us start getting in front! When we finally got inside the building it was complete chaos and we searched for our group(AB6IX) to get photos with, only to be told that they were done taking photos(AN HOUR BEFORE THE END OF THE MEET AND GREET TIME). I was then told if I wanted photos i would have to jump into the Cravity line. when we were about to meet the members I was yelled at for not forming a GROUP OF 10 people when i never knew that it was MY responsibility to do so or that it was no longer a group of 5 but a group of 10. luckily a group behind us needed more people and accepted us into the group. To call the a Meet and Greet is extremely misleading since there was at most 2 minutes from start to finish that was completely consumed with staff yelling at us to sit down, taking two photos, and yelling at us to leave. I broke down in tears because it was not the experience I payed for and worked so hard to make happen and then on top of it all I dragged my friend into it all. This by far was the biggest waste of time and money and I genuinely hope other’s experience wasn’t the same as mine, but after seeing post on social media I don’t think that’s the case. very sad that some people had even worse experiences
