To Those Attending the VIP SC parties...

Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 3:40 PM by vanessa

Hey everyone,

 

We noticed that there is a lot of talk surrounding some of the VIP packages and exactly what you as fans are entitled to in the VIP experience. We want every single one of you to experience something incredible at the show, and walk away with memories of a lifetime. We offer the VIP packages for this specific reason-- to allow you guys to have this kind of unparalleled experience. Unfortunately, there are always going to be unforeseen factors beyond our control that don't allow every single fan who attends the show to have the same, identical experience. This message should lay out some of those factors, as well as attempt to clear up any misunderstandings that have been going on.

While the Platinum Package includes a backstage tour, never does it promise that it will be given by any member of the band. Tours given by one of the boys are meant to be a special surprise that we are only able to do when the circumstances allow us to do so. This is part of the “and more” bonus of the VIP package. Similarly, having front row access was never promised in the package either, and was also meant to be a special treat. This also goes for additional photos backstage with the band member giving the tour, early access to the merch booth, and a free year long extension on your fan club membership. None of these things were ever a guaranteed part of the package, but a special bonus.

At times, due to situations beyond our control (traffic, production delays, etc), we can't start soundcheck on time and we run into a timing issue regarding when the doors MUST open. In these cases, we give everyone the option to either go on the tour or stay behind and get front row. In Rotterdam, Nick personally asked everyone if they wanted to go on a tour with him. Giving this option fulfills our end of the VIP package. However, everyone chose to leave Nick behind and get front row.

Please understand that we at ground(ctrl) and management always try to do whatever we can to ensure a wonderful fan experience for all of you, and while things may not always go as smoothly as possible due to outside factors, we will always attempt to fulfill, at the very least, the benefits that are listed in the description of the package that you purchase. We would love for everyone to walk away having had a wonderful experience, so we hope this message helps to clear up some of these unfortunate but inevitable issues.

On a final note, we have been having overseas internet difficulties but Justin is working on getting all the SC photos up in a timely manner, as well as the shot that AJ takes while on stage.

With that being said, we hope to see everyone out on tour and hope that everyone has an amazing time at the show!!

    I think it'd be tough to say either Nick or Front Row, b/c i've been a fan for 14 yrs and have always wanted to me them and then agian i've always wanted to be front row haha. But i'm glad that you guys but this info on here that way when they come home to the US and they are coming here I don't have alot of questions b/c they have already been answered.

    When they say "However, everyone chose to leave Nick behind and get front row." do they mean get front row in the Soundcheck, or get a front row seat at the concert?

    I wouldn't give up a tour with Nick but I am just interested as what they were offering instead.

    I was lucky enough to go the a soundcheck in Illinois where there were a few rows of people and I got to be in the front row. The photos and signing were over in a few seconds as we all moved through in a line, and then security hurried us out, but it was definitely still worth it. I am just thankful we get this opportunity at all. Even though it is a lot of money at least we get the option.

    I agree, but I am just grateful this option is even available to fans. Last year was the first time I got to meet the Boys, and I was a little shocked and depressed at first when I left because it was such a wonderful experience - until it was cut short after one minute! And some people were able to give hugs and kisses until security stopped us partway through the line...but if you allow one person, you should allow all the fans to do the same... It is going to be an expensive show, but I'll be there to buy my 30 seconds if that's what they'll give me!
