Vfest VIP tickets

[kosmo vinyl]

Since its been asked a couple time and i'm curious myself....  what will  vip tickets entail?  and can a couple single day ones be set aside for forum fanatics...  i'd like early entry in order to beat the traffic, a place to cool off and bottled water

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I, too, am interested. Short of meet-and-greet's, though, I can't say I'll strongly consider it.
 
 For me, the amenities better be pretty awesome to justify going from $175 to $450.

we are planning some very cool stuff

How'd you go from disinterested in the whole thing to willing to part with $250?

GET DRUNK WITH THE BANDS~!
 
 i will so buy tickets. i will. Karen O  = cream

i never completely ruled out Vfest it's that the bands being leaked while interesting weren't quite enough to sway me, however lump all the worthy bands on one day and add in Cheap Trick whose last album  was generally great and Robin's pipes are still in tact, LCD Soundsystem who I've wanted to see but will miss due to Sloan being at the Black Cat.
 
 VIP ticket appeal because Kosmette can't go due to work so I wont have to buy two, and the biggest bummer for me last year was not getting a good vantage point for the Who having  drifted towards the second stage in the afternoon, knowing there are VIP spots will help with being able to wander back and forth.

For that much I'd expect a handjob ATLEAST!

[kosmo vinyl]

Oh bother.... Was all set to plunk down for a VIP ticket for the Saturday show when I looked up the event and found out they are only sold in pairs.  Is there any chance to get the hookup on buying a single VIP ticket? Pretty Please?

[kosmo vinyl]

oh yeah the VIP benefits info is now at virginfestival.com,  the shuttle service between stages is a nice touch.

[ChampionshipVinyl]

Yeah, I was disappointed about the pairs only thing two. I ddidn't recall seeing that information on the Virgin Festival website and didn't look at Ticketmaster's website since I was planning to buy the tickets at the box office. It was only when I went to the box office at Merriweather this morning that I found out that VIP tickets were only sold in pairs. So I could only buy two instead of the planned three.
 
 What is the rationale for only selling VIP tickets in pairs? It seems to punish those people that are interested in going alone, or as in my case, in an odd numbered group.

i suspect it has something to do with parking passes...

[Arthwys]

Smashing Pumpkins website says this about VIP passes...
 
 which includes VIP viewing areas at both stages, air conditioned chill lounge, complimentary premium parking, shuttle service around the track, event t-shirt, sponsor goody bag, and access to the Home Turn Festival After-Party on Saturday night

Be real careful of the so called "premium parking" passes....the one I purchased last year was an outright joke! I sure hope they get the parking straight this year. I paid for a 25 dollar pass for this year. I'm only going Saturday. Hope I don't have to park downtown and walk or something....damn....

i dont see what the big deal is.  anyone who isnt buying VIP tickets is only doing so for lack of funds....i mean, who doesnt wanna be VIP everywhere they go?
