I was surprised to see the new VIP packages for the Hollywood Vampires tour that were advertised today! These are very special, offering the chance to see band rehearsals up close and find out what it means to prepare for a tour. Whoever came up with this idea is a true music fan, as well as a marketing genius.
There are three options, and although they’re marketed as concert ticket upgrades, they can be purchased separately.

Considering the rising cost of living, inflation, and price hikes everywhere, that last options seemed like an interesting option. I had no plans to go to London, but this is an opportunity too good to pass up – attending the rehearsal, that alone justifies the cost, in my opinion.
Then I thought it would make sense to also attent the first show of the tour, at the O2 in London, since I’d be there anyway, and went to Ticketmaster UK to check out what’s left of the tickets. I didn’t know, but the O2 Arena is a seated venue! So what are my options, this late in the sale?
Kaboom! I managed to score a ticket in the 14th row, on Joe Perry’s side of the stage, for £133.60! I’m amazed such a gem was still available days after tickets went on sale.
I’ve not been to London in a long while, so this will be an opportunity to connect with old friends, visit some cool record shops, check out the ABBA Voyage experience, and maybe find time to check out the Yungblud store
