News: Clearing Up Ticketmaster VIP Ticket Confusion

We know the VIP sales thing is confusing. We’re going to try to clear things up for you as much as we can…

The pages for the Syracuse and Buffalo shows list the VIP sales for August 2nd in the right column. The Albany listing does not show this, but we think this is simply an oversight.

What matters is that all three shows are listed on the VIP promotion page, and that page says that these are the shows going on VIP sale on August 2nd at 10am ET. Now, granted, the information at the bottom of that page says that all three go “on sale” on August 3rd, but they’re simply listing the on-sale time for the general sales.

So tomorrow, August 2nd, at 10am, go to the page for whichever show you’re interested in, and they should go on sale (“should” being the operative word here). UPDATE: Actually, we don’t know if the shows will go on sale on the regular pages, or if they’ll be sold on the VIP promotion page, so check both!

Now, pricing… Prices through The Tori Store were going to be around $100 for GOLD pagkages, and $150 for PLATINUM packages. We won’t know what Ticketmaster is charging until they go on sale. We’ve been told that fans should expect Ticketmaster to add some fees, but nothing outrageous or all that different than what they were before. We’ll have to wait to see, though.

You DO NOT need a password or special code to participate in the VIP sales. They are open to everyone. But remember … if someone else is purchasing tickets for you on their credit card and they will not be attending the show with you, they must list your street address — the one on your ID/Driver’s License — as the shipping address on the order or you will not be able to pick your tickets up on the day of the show. Multiple tickets may be purchased in a single order, but only the person(s) listed under the shipping and/or billing address will be able to pick them up.

We hope this clears some things up. We’re crossing our fingers for you!
