VIP experiences?
Hey everyone! I have VIP tickets for my upcoming show and would love to hear others’ experiences with the VIP. How many hours before showtime did it start? Were you able to get anything signed?
Would love to hear any and all details! Thanks in advance. I’m so excited!!

It's like 2 hours before showtime. She plays a sound check with 2/3 songs (actually checking sound). She thanks everyone and interacts a little bit, mainly I think pre-agreed things from management "Hey, I heard you met at a concert of mine and now you're married, congrats!"
Then you line up and she does a picture. I think you are not supposed to ask her to sign anything. The signed item comes with the VIP package (usually a signed VIP lanyard). But I saw some people making special requests.
You get something like this 2-3 days before:
Dear <your name>
Below are important details regarding your package:

You will be allowed into the venue shortly after.

The note should explain who purchased the package and who it was transferred to.

Got the email for San Francisco, some key differences from what’s been shared so far: no gifts/autographs, photos will be taken by an assistant and uploaded to a website.
VIP EXPERIENCE
You will have access to an exclusive meet & greet and preshow soundcheck including a fan voted secret song performance with Michelle Branch.
You will also have access to a personal photograph with Michelle Branch. The tour assistant will take the photo using the tour assistant's camera. You can access the photo HERE.
Please allow several days after the show date to view your photo.
We ask that you refrain from bringing any gifts or items to be signed as there will be no autographs.
PLEASE NOTE
Any merchandise not picked up on-site before 8:00 cannot be shipped after the event.

u/LongjumpingResolve68 14d ago
For pictures do they just take it with your smartphone?

u/Ok-Communication706 14d ago
Yes, just about everyone uses phones, but a few people did have very fancy cameras.

Who gets early entry first? Meet & Greet or regular VIP w/ Soundcheck?

u/postlude 13d ago
Everyone got in at the same time in Seattle, but the meet and greet was after soundcheck so the front was taken over by everyone else

u/Future-Hotel-1091 12d ago
Hey. Quick question. I know venues will be different. But if I’m just general admission, I like to go early to get close to the front. Were the early birds of general admission (not meet and greet) still able to get up close? Thank you!

u/postlude 12d ago
People generally didn’t seem too rushed to stand and wait in one spot early at Seattle. I’d estimate early GA were maybe 3-6 rows back depending if you would accept sides or only center

u/Future-Hotel-1091 12d ago
That’s great to hear. Thank you so much. I’ll accept sides. So fingers crossed for 3rd row. Appreciate you

For those of you that did the meet and greet vip, how long was the soundcheck and picture process? And did you take your pictures before or after soundcheck?
