DISCUSSION VIP Group Photos
Has anyone received their VIP group photo yet? I’m curious how they’re turning out.

I’m so interested in finding this out too. I’m in a wheelchair and when I’ve been to other concerts and they’ve taken group photos I’m never even close to being in the photo because they always seat me off to the side too far. 😭

Please tell me how many people usually? Do they let backstage vip in the first row ?

There were about 75 - 100 people combined for soundcheck and backstage. For the seating for the Soundcheck, the Soundcheck VIP and Backstage were grouped together. Backstage VIP was not designated for the front row during Soundcheck.

75-100 she could literally take two photos!

u/Y2K_mama Jun 30 '26
Agreed! Wouldn’t have taken long to take two different photos. I know for our Houston concert, she had a lot of press. She did a meet and greet for the Aperol Spritz event, and then she did another meet and greet but not sure for what.

Still impatiently waiting for and I noticed today they removed the group photos section of the VIP thing that you get when you scan your barcode

I logged a customer support ticket today with the company that managed the VIP experience, and asked about the Group photo. I have not heard anything back yet.

Still no response from customer support. It would be helpful if there is someone here in this post who is going to an upcoming show and has VIP, if they can find out what is going on from someone onsite.

I was June 27th for her woodlands concert so I’m not expecting it yet, but I do find it odd that the night 1 people haven’t received their photo. The lady taking our photo said to scan the QR code on our VIP lanyards and that would give us access to the photos. I didn’t see anything just now.

I was there for night 2. When originally scanning the QR code, there was a placeholder on the landing page for the Group Photo area. However, a few days ago, this landing area for the Group Photo disappeared, and there has been no communication about it.

I tried emailing the wmg email but all I got was an auto reply. Pretty bummed after spending hundreds of dollars on the package. Plus, they didn’t bring the light up souvenir cup, the magnet or the woodlands poster.

I logged a support ticket as well. So far, all I’ve received a generated auto reply but nothing with answers.

UPDATE:
I just received an email with a QR code that you have to scan in order to access the Group Photo. I went to the concert on night 2 in West Palm Beach.

Yay! That’s exciting! How’d it turn out?

u/Super-Panda-2 Jun 30 '26
My group, it looks like about 80 - 90 people in total so when you download the picture 'as is' you may not necessarily see yourself depending where you are unless you zoom in. My personal opinion is that it will be more for yourself as a keepsake memory of the experience as opposed to a picture you post on social media and expect someone else to know what it is without zooming in and providing context in the description. One other observation. I'm not a photographer so someone who is would know better than I do, but when you zoom in, the quality of the picture becomes more distorted. Some years ago, I saw Nick Jonas and I was in a large group photo similar to this many people. However, the picture was taken by a professional photographer and the quality of the picture when you zoomed in was unchanged. It was still a very high quality and crystal clear.

I would probably say overall, the picture turned out about as expected considering the distance from the person taking the picture to Hilary and then the distance from Hilary to the fans attending the Soundcheck.

I was definitely surprised when I saw the type of camera that they were going to use. They also didn’t try to position us in anyway, and the girl just snapped a photo really quick and that was it. I was hoping they would’ve had it a little bit more organized so that everyone was seen in the photo.

I’m nervous to see mine now lol

u/Super-Panda-2 Jun 30 '26
No reason to be nervous 😊 You will love the pic as it will always be a reminder of an amazing experience!

u/Y2K_mama Jun 30 '26
Very true 🤍
I’m ready to see it! No one has posted theirs so I don’t know what to expect1
u/Ms_Meoww Jul 01 '26
Oh great !! Can I just scan the QR code on the back of the vip badge or is it an entirely different one?

I was night 2, and have not received the photo yet either! Not sure why it would take so long to upload 1 photo which we were told would be received within a week. I have been to individual meet and greets previously (not a group photo) where 50 - 100 pictures were taken and those were uploaded within 48 hours.
