Osmonds Galore

Just a very quick post today.  I said a couple of weeks ago that I would like to discuss the Live Nation Experience VIP concert tickets that some of us purchased for The Osmonds 50th Anniversary UK Tour because I know I was somewhat “dissatisfied” with mine and that a lot of you were too.

 

As you know I have also created a “Squidoo Lens” also called Osmonds Galore and today decided to have that discussion mainly there as well as here because I would also like to hear from other people who have attended other artists concerts and perhaps bought VIP packages to the event and I know that we are more likely to get people other than Osmond fans commenting over at Squidoo, it would be interesting to find out if it is the same for every artists event, don’t you think?, this is the link for the lens:

Just highlighting some of the article over at Squidoo these are my two major problems with the VIP Packages are:

 

• Tickets, well I got row 12, I think this should be a ticket in the first four rows at this price!
• Way too many packages sold to make even more profit which means your “Actual” time talking to the artist is roughly 30 seconds, what can you say in that time to your idol? Not a lot I’m guessing, perhaps something along the lines of “errr, splutter, errr, bye” and then your moved on!

 

From a personal point of view I know I have been very lucky in the past 5 years meeting Donny lots of times and being able to have a decent conversation with him (none of which cost me anything other than time perhaps waiting around). BUT I feel sooo bad for those lifelong fans who have never met their idol, who probably scrimped and saved to buy this package and then to finally meet them (nervously of course, so you can barely form sentences or think coherently) and then find your not allowed even a full minute to say something at least sensible to this person whom you will probably never meet again!

 

To be honest it incenses me because as far as I can see all that is simply down to LiveNation selling too many VIP packages..

 

VIP Means “very important person” - things that make you go “hmmmmmm”

 

So please pop on over to the lens and tell us what your thoughts are, did you enjoy your VIP package? tell us what you did and did not enjoy, tell us there, here or in both places if you like and have the time.
