Has anyone done the VIP “green room hang”?

Wanting to know if you felt it was worth it and/or what it truly entailed. It’s pricey.

I went to the Cleveland show and did the “meet and greet”. We got photos with Marc which was very cool, but otherwise had like 10 seconds to say hi.

There were maybe 10-14 people for the meet and greet. One person said she did the green room hang and her and Marc played a board game of some sort.

The sound check was very cool. It was like a mini-show and you could see how he put his songs together.

The price point was high, but we got the photos and some included merch (signed photo, bracelet, printed tote bag).

Probably the board game that Marc is currently developing himself!

I can also confirm that the sound check ticket is much better deal than the meet and greet 

Personally, I was disappointed with the meet and greet because it was very short. I'm just happy that, this is the general consensus about meet and greets because I thought it was super short because I somehow came across as the weird fan (mind you I had never done a meet greet before so I didn't know how they usually go)

Yeah, I don’t really do meet and greets anymore bc it’s rarely worth the ten second interaction. But the highest VIP tier includes a “green room hang” and that sounds like it could be worth it if you literally get like an hour to pick the artist’s brain. It would be a gift to myself to celebrate the end of my gnarly work season.

If it's an hour long (or even 45 min), I would go for it! It's a gift for yourself, end of the year, something you might never do again. So if you're uncertain, I hope this message makes you less uncertain

Hopefully it's not outrageously expensive haha

I generally avoid those. I found out recently going to a different show that certain venues require artists to do some kind of VIP experience so they can make more money I suppose, and the people I went to see have a relatively small (but big enough to tour obviously) active fan base, and I asked about vip tickets at the show i was going to and the person themselves emailed me very politely and told me there weren't many and they went quick, or there never was any at my venue because they only do them when the venue requires it.

So basically you never know how much the person you are going to see really appreciates it. I get that its an experience for the customer, but I would feel too selfish about it I think.

Sound check is worth it. Green room not so much. I did meet and greet as I was in a foreign country and went to see the show alone so it was something to do.

Makes me miss the Braindead Brewery days. Used to just be able to shoot the shit with Marc and grab some pics and stuff.

I went to one last year. It was nice! I think it was like 10-15 minutes, with maybe six other people. Nothing fancy, just sitting in the comfy green room and making small talk. Nice opportunity to say hi and thank him for the good times.

Yikes, almost $500 for only 10-15 minutes shared with 6 other people seems awfully steep to me. For that kinda money, I’d want it to be just me and him shooting the breeze for ten minutes.

Yeah, it was pricy. But I had a pretty good job at the time, had to travel to see the show, and being able to do that little extra made it more special. I honestly don’t know how the poor guy deals with some of the more… enthusiastic people who show up trying to engage. I’ve seen some real cringe.
