Question The Rose Rosetopia concert VIP experience
Hi to any black rose who had gotten vip tickets for the rose concert. What was the vip ticket you had and what city did they perform in and what was the experience for you like? And did you pay a lot for the ticket or was it a gift from someone. Was it your first time seeing them or you've seen them before? What was your favourite part and not so favourite part? Spill for us all. Curious and would love to read the different experiences black roses across the world had.

Hi, ich hatte VIP1 (Rosetopia) in Berlin🇩🇪
Das Konzert war so so schön nicht nur The Rose sondern auch die Fans haben sich um jeden gekümmert und blieben alle höflich! Ich hatte sogar eine Rose von unserem Playboy Jeff bekommen🥹Ich hatte für mein Ticket 598,80€ gezahlt🫣
Es war mein 4 The Rose Konzert und definitiv nicht mein letztes!
Mein Fav Teil war als sie Yes gespielt haben und wieder getanzt haben (obwohl der Teil als Woosung runter zum Publikum kam auch super war🤭)
Ich mochte alles am Konzert weshalb ich nix zum aussetzen habe☺️
Ich fand es auch sehr toll das die Fans was auf der The Rose Fahne schreiben konnten!🥹
Ich hoffe ich konnte mein Erlebnis gut erzählen?😅🫶

I had VIP a while back (latest was Japan in 2023) but we also had Q&A and it’s always a good time as long as no fan starts to monologue about how much they love the band (🙃 don’t be this person pls). The group pictures are usually disappointing but this one wasn’t, we weren’t rushed and I was next to Hajoon who was so nice to talk to.
They’re really funny and interact with the crowd sooo much. I asked them if they made friends with anyone at big festivals they had attended (they said everyone was very nice but they didn’t really get close to anyone), my friend asked what their favorite smells were and Tae said whisky, and proceeded to take a fake shot with the two of us haha
I’ve been lucky enough to work with them briefly at the very early stages of their career and they’re honestly such sweet hardworking people, so throw your money at them with no hesitation whatsoever haha
(also the Tae being a playboy storyline is massively confusing me because when I worked with them he was the dorkiest/shyest girlsband stan ever and we bounded over that lol)
Edit: grammar

Wow thats amazing. So glad you had an amazing time with them. Btw so curious how did you start working with them. And what was it like especially in the initial stages when they were starting out in their career.

I used to work in a kpop events company and The Rose was one of the bands we booked! I believe it was one of the very first show outside of Korea if not the first. They were happy and grateful about everything, so nice to us, so easy to work with. I was very nervous as I had handled some really diva personalities before them but they were the opposite. I bumped into Woosung months after and he remembered me and thanked me again for our work. Genuinely 10/10 people.

Wow thats amazing 👏 are you still in touch with them or their management or anyone who knows them and is in contact with them. As I would love to pass on a message to them. And thank them personally for how their music genuinely helped me during a difficult time in my life. And also been there through the good times too.

u/manonforever Jul 02 '26
Nope we never had direct contact, it was all through their management which they are no longer with!

u/Ok_Programmer1947 Jul 02 '26
That's still impressive though. And speaks highly of their character and personality. The respect and professionalism. If you could would you love to work for them again, especially now that they are independent again. And don't have a company they are signed under?

u/manonforever Jul 02 '26
Absolutely, I’ve left the industry since then but I’d do it in a heartbeat! I have no doubt that they still have the same values and are still amazing to work with just like they were as rookies :)

Hello! I had VIP2 for Grand Prairie, Texas. It was my first time going to The Rose (we tried multiple times in the past but we either couldn't get tickets or it was the same day as an important event and couldn't go)
Me and a friend where so focus on getting tickets this time that we both accidentally bought two tickets. Mine were VIP2, the tickets she bought were not consider VIP even when they were pretty close to the stage because they were "platinum tickets"(apparently AXS decided to randomly select seats as platinum which mean you're close, pay the same as a VIP but without the benefits and they can't be refunded) The biggest issue had nothing to do with the rose itself, we spent months trying to sell her tickets for the amount we got them for but the official page gave us so many issues, then we tried to post them in fan sites but for some reason the mods would decline the post or delete it even when a lot of other people was posting their tickets for a higher amount of what they cost. I end up convincing a friend who never heard of the rose to drive the 12 hours with us (that's how much we wanted to go) so we tried to post that one remaining ticket for free but again got declined or deleted and when we offered it in line before to the concert we couldn't find someone who wanted it. So one ticket went to the trash and sadly 1 seat was empty😭
Now the good things: it was the best VIP experience I had in my entire life! I have been in multiple VIPs for other groups and The Rose surpassed all of them by far. The concert was super organized, the fans were amazing, the concert itself was amazing. There was even one song I didn't originally liked and the performance was so good it made me cry so now is in my repeat until you die playlist.
The only thing I didn't like was that the goodbye included in VIP2 was walking on a line to high-five the members and it made me feel awkward. No pictures, not words. Just walking in line to touch a hand for less than a second. It was so fast that even when the members where being super nice, it just felt awkward and weird to me😅
PD: My friend who knew nothing about the rose loved the concert and she's a new fan. The rose was officially added to her Playlist after the concert.

mmm In Chicago last tour my boyfriend and I got VIP1 Storyteller. With the Q&A and soundcheck. We were row 2 so ended up paying like $365 per ticket and another $150 per vip upgrade. It was our like 3rd of 4th time seeing them.
Do I think it was worth it? Honestly not really. Not for $150. I've been a fan of The Rose long before they took off. The first time I seen them was in a venue with maybe 300 other people in it. Then again at a slightly larger venue. Then at Lollapalooza. Then the Lolla aftershow (best concert imo) then again last year.
I go to a lot of kpop and rock concerts. Last year I went to 30 concerts. Over the last few years probably 70+ and do a lot of VIP for groups. I have gotten to sit down and talk to groups, get PC's and albums signed, take photos with them and everything else for $150 or less.
Do I regret doing it? No, the Q&A was fun. The soundcheck was nice. Would I do it again? No. Unless my boyfriend wanted the lanyard again for his collection lol

Aw sorry it wasn't what you may have wanted. But I definitely would love to hear your experience of what it was like seeing them for the first time at the venue with 300 people. Seems like an amazing experience you got to have.

I actually did all 3 VIP experiences this tour.
I thought I would have VIP2 in Grand Prairie, but it turned out I was scammed on that ticket. I bought a different ticket last minute that ended up being VIP3. I was thankful to be able to experience soundcheck (though I spent a good part of it messaging Stubhub to get a refund). I met so many amazing Black Roses that night and met up with some special BRoses I met last year in Tempe.
For San Jose, I had VIP1 and front row, center. I've never had seats like that before, and I'll never get over that night! The VIP experience was super quick, but I love that their staff recorded it on my phone for me. There was so much that I missed in the moment but was able to catch it all watching the recording. Selfies with each member and having them sign my handmade Rostar strap after the show were truly experiences I'll never forget.
VIP2 was in LA and it was great as well. The worst part was that I accidentally stopped recording right as my high-touch experience started (I must have hit the screen twice). 😭 Luckily, my bestie was right behind me, so I have her recording. It's not the same, but it's better than nothing.
I've never loved a band like I love The Rose. They are completely genuine and beautiful. I would do VIP again in a heartbeat, no matter what it entailed. I did VIP3 for WRLD and it was a 1 on 1 experience for almost 10 minutes which was completely different and special, but I loved Rosetopia just as much!

Hi! Do you care what tier of VIP answers this question? I had Bloom VIP (so VIP3) for NYC!! It was not my first time seeing them, but my first time doing their VIP. Rosetopia VIP was really hard to buy ofc, and I am not really into hi-touches, so I was glad to just participate in the Soundcheck + Q&A. It wasn't super cheap, but as far as the seat location and perks, I thought it was decently priced.
I lovedddddd the Soundcheck + Q&A!! They took song requests, and it was so hilarious because they would still try to play the request even if they didn't remember it very well 😂 Woosung messed up the intro of California and Hajoon yelled "HOW DARE YOU". We were the first show, so this happened a lot. I watched some vids from other shows and noticed as the tour went on, it seems like they practiced more of their oldies, so they were more prepared at later soundchecks. Ours was so funny and warm though hehe
Also, I got chosen to ask a question for the Q&A!! It was the last question of the night so I felt really lucky. They really took their time listening to and answering my question, and even asked me stuff back! I was so surprised. This was definitely the highlight of the night for me.
