If you're planning on attending a concert for the band Chicago, do NOT purchase the VIP Meet & Greet packages. It is a misleading & complete rip-off in my opinion. You will pay appx $250 per person extra, over & above what the over-priced $125 tickets cost, plus you have to join the fan club to get them, which is almost $50. After paying appx $800 for 2 tickets & the so-called VIP Meet & Greet package for 2, heres what you get:
1) You have to be at the venue over 2 hours early
2) Then you may have to wait another 30 minutes afterward because musicians are hardly ever on-time to do anything.
3) You get in line to take a picture with the band. You may have a few seconds to shake 1 or 2 hands with bandmembers, but no discussions with them & no autographs should be expected.
4) They will take your picture using their camera (which you will be able to download online later) & then they will give you a gift bag of about $10 worth of junk in my opinion --- this on top of the appx #10 worth of junk by mail you get when you join the fan club for almost $50.
5) Then they hurry you off & that's it. No true Meet & Greet, no taking pics or video with you own phone/camera, no autographs, no talking to the bandmembers or asking them questions, no backstage passes, no refreshments --- nothing. Just a quick pic with the band & maybe a couple of handshakes.
6) Don't buy it. It's not a real Meet & Greet --- it's simply a very-expensive band picture & a way for someone to make a lot of money selling it.

I have been to 4 Meet anf Greets with "Chicago".
We even gave them cupcakes for their 50th Anniversary!
Each time you are told that your payment iincludes and, it is exactly what you desxcribed that you are so unhappy about.
Front or 2-5 rows; Picture with band and memorabilia; NO autographs; NO back stage; NO personal photos; No real time to chit chat
So - what are you complaining about? If you did not like what they said you would receive, then you shouldn't have biought it!
P.S,. we were never forced to join the fan club, either
