a) You have to care about the VIP check-in if you’re doing a VIP package, as that’s where you get your ticket(s). ronQuote |

PT5150 (6290) | If it’s the same as when I did it in 2012, you’re right Ron. Once your name is marked off, you have to stay with the group unless going to the toilet.

vhrob (1744) | I believe they email your or call you a day or so prior to the show to give the correct and final details on times etc? If that’s the case, for me I am going to the Hartford show on Aug 11th (Tuesday). So I would hope I would be contacted the Friday or Monday before. Rob vhtrading member since 2000 vhrobQuote |

jroundy (1418) | Soundcheck would be so much cooler if they played some tracks they are not playing live…. even though it is a bit of a treat to hear the band without Dave. The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!! jroundyQuote |

Dave has appartently shown up for soundcheck at least one of the stops so far. But keep in mind that what the VIP’s get is NOT the actual soundcheck. They get a mini-concert after “soundcheck” is complete. ronQuote |

True… the actual soundcheck would probably be quite boring for most people. Personally, I would find the actual soundcheck more interesting. The band just goofing around, and tweaking the sound would be far more interesting for me. The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead.

PT5150 (6290) | From a guy at links.. Did the front row VIP in Pittsburgh and you can see the exclusive front row hoodie. All black with the embroidered logo on the left breast pocket. Nothing on the back of the hoodie. Nothing too different from what Dave King reported about sound check other than we only got 4 songs in SC, LUTS, RWTD, DDL, IW. Eddie stopped at the beginning saying Al’s bass drum was a “little boomy”. An adjustment was made and on we went. I did have a master plan to record SC, but the cheap ass Amazon covert recording sunglasses didn’t work (maybe because of all the sweating). And yes they tested fine the night before. We were regularly reminded of no recordings during sound check to preserve the uniqueness of the VIP experience. For my $1000 I felt like I needed a little more. IMO.
