I haven't seen anyone post anything about their VIP experience last night. Anyone have some details they want to share? How much earlier did they let you in the venue? How was the Paradise City Lounge? Did the lounge stay open throughout AIC set? Did they sell merch in the lounge and if so were the lines small compared to the other merch locations? Looking forward to some scoop! Can't wait for 7/23!

Thanks Jarmo. Any idea if they are selling merch in the VIP lounge? Hoping for shorter lines in NYC than the normal March stands.

Isn't the crowd free merch shopping included in the package? /jarmo

The limited edition book was my fav part of the experience besides the totally awesome seat. I was running late both days so I missed the crowd free shopping. They give you 3 free drink tickets and they have some cool signature cocktails. They had nice food and free lemonade. They took your picture. My package did not include any tours.

I had a few specific questions around everyone's experience with the Paradise City VIP Lounge Packages:
1 - Is the food, beer, wine, and signature cocktails free within the Paradise City Lounge?
2 - Where is the Paradise City Lounge typically located within the arena?
3 - Is the VIP swag (i.e., book, commemorative ticket, etc.) mailed or picked up? If it's picked up, when?
4 - How early is the "early" entrance?
5 - With the crowd-free tour merchandise shopping, is there a good chance to get a lithograph?
I'm really excited to be heading to the East Rutherford show in a couple weeks! I'm pretty stoked to be in Row 2 within Section 3. I just hope my seats line up to be center stage!

They give you the book in a nice plastic bag. It is very heavy so if you can put in your car that would be nice. You get 3 free drink tickets. After you enter the venue they escort you up into the lounge. They had salads and shrimp and brioche as snacks. There is a lady who will take your picture. I arrived too late for crowd free shopping. I stopped at a few booths and I never did see the lithographs. I think check in started at 5pm for crowd free shopping. They will provide all the info that you need in an email a few days before the show.

Was the lounge more of a pre-concert location or easily accessible during the show? Also, regarding placing the bag in the car... they'd allow re-entry into the venue? Isn't it typically no re-entry?

At Soldier Field the VIP check in was at the West gate. They gave you your ticket , your book and your wristband. You had to sign that you picked up your stuff The check in booth was outside so you could go back to your car if you did not go in. I took public transportation. But it is very heavy. I put it on my seat when I was filming. You can go in and out of the lounge. Not sure how late it stayed open. It was kinda awkward being there by myself. So I didn't stay too long.

You should have went with Ted then you would not have been alone. Glad you made it to the show and had a great time.

The second night were a lot less people. I was really focused on doing a good job with my periscope. I met up with some friends before and after the second show.

Is that an imaginary friend?

I have floor tickets for Atlanta. Can these be converted to VIP? Would love to hear a thorough review of the experience? Do you meet band members or have access to sound check?

Hey guys. I'm considering buying the like $3000 vip package for Toronto. The deciding factor for me will be whether the autographed item includes Axl's signature. It is worded on ticketmaster as "an item autographed by members of guns n roses". Now to me this means everyone except Axl. Does anyone have an idea or opinion on this? I know they offered something similar for the Vegas shows at the start. any help would be appreciated

No knowledge but I would imagine you get exactly what it says you get. No Axl.

I would have considered a VIP package last summer if this was clearer as well. I would have sold the item to recoup some of the cost, but without Axl's signature the resale value takes a HUGE hit. Good luck finding an answer.

Pretty sure the Vegas shows included an exclusive signed poster by entire band, including Axl, but was listed the same way in the package description. I saw a few photos of them at the time and they were pretty impressive! It could be the same surprise you get but it's all luck if you ask me. If I had that much money to spend I would just go to more shows.
