VIP Swag


Recommended Posts

3 days until the Tampa show and still no swag. No email. No UPS. Not feeling the love.

 

Is there any reason that people feel the need to have the swag before the concert? It's not like you're getting a t-shirt to wear like last tour.

 

It's vestigial. From the old days. When swag could only be acquired AT the show. Some part of our minds wants the stuff if not before the show, at least by the day of the show. ;)

My favorite SWAG from the old days is getting parking lot shirts. Some shows now still have guys doing parking lot shirts. 11-17-12 in Anaheim was great I got long and short sleeve and also bought a couple on Backstage.

No?

 

If not, then people are just more impatient than ever I guess. ;)

To me, its part of the experience. This is the first time I've gone all out and dropped this much money to see the boys. I wanted to review the tour book, hold the laminate and reminisce all the shows I've seen. Some fans pump themselves up by reviewing pictures or concerts from their past. They scan messages boards for every spoiler they can find before the show, read through the set list or just communicate to other fans to build their excitement. All that is okay, I feel if I spend $400, then an effort should be made to get my swag before the show.

It's all good. I was just curious. To me it doesn't matter. If I get it after the show or before it's just as cool.

Anyone interested in my VIP swag: picks, bag, tour book, and pass?

Also, I have 2 Floor Tixx on the side of Geddy - only 10 rows from the stage!

The Newark show on 6/27.

Got my swag today for Columbus. Never got an email though. Not that I miss the email.

 

I had it in my head there were tshirts when I ordered. Guess I was confused. The bags are nice. Not sure what I'll do with four of them. At least the kids could wear the shirts. Now I'm buying tour shirts I guess.

Probably because we got T-shirts the last time. I wish we'd gotten one this time too. Especially considering the price on most of the shirts now. I would much have preferred that over the bag although it's a nice bag.

I'm disappointed at not getting the tshirt as well. They raised the price $100 and took away the t-shirt. That's what really makes me sad. I really enjoy having a shirt that is exclusive to VIP purchasers. Makes me feel special . :LOL:

Agreed, and it would also help to list the actual seat location. There is a monumental difference between being Row 10 Geddy on the inside aisle vs outside aisle. This is also my biggest beef with stub hub. How anyone ever buys seats in the outside floor sections without knowing the seat location is beyond me.

Replied, but never heard back. I'm assuming you got a more lucrative offer somewhere else.

I didn't get mine until the day AFTER the concert, sheesh what a joke. You pay for the stuff in January and they can't get it to you in July on time? I was bummed about the t-shirt too(not getting one), I never have done VIP before and liked the shirt from Clockwork Angels my friend got for her VIP on that tour. Like the guitar pick and the cool box they come in. Edited by Rhyta
