C’mon man, it’s a whopping $50 less than Martyr’s in 2012! And that included an open bar, setlist influence, plus limited capacity…factor in inflation this seems like a really good value.

Idk I’ve gotten some decent vip merch items. The pin is the $10 lol item.
Scamp 2014 Eno hammock with straps takes top brass, easily a $75-100 item.
2016 NYE Bluetooth speaker has been great. I’ve used the shit out of it and it still works fine. My wife’s is still in the package unopened.
Aspen 2020 was a winter hat. Probably a $25-$30 merch item at the booth.
The Fanny packs were pretty lame, and I really haven’t ever used the custom light box from Milwaukee 2015.

lmao I’m an idiot.
that was the random zip up hoodie included in the Asheville VIP. I remember thinking that was not mentioned anywhere, what’s this all about

Yeah zip up hoodies are nice, I think Denver New Years was a North Face jacket one of the years.

My favorite VIP merch item was the generic coasters from the Beacon run in 2016 (I think it was 2016 at least).

Just remembered the 2016 Beacon item was a yeti style coffee tumbler. I used it for years but definitely lame.
The High Sierra backpack I got from RR '12 VIP has gotten a ton of use from me over the years. Basically my concert overnight bag to this day.

Literally the only reason I did VIP was for the hotel reservation and open bar in the VIP section.

Do they still do open bar for Vip? That seems like to only way someone can come close to getting actual value

Yeah, but an hour of open bar isn’t time for much. No clue how @snuckaskitchen managed 3 G&Ts and 3 tall boy IPAs in that timeframe. Sounds pretty miserable actually. That’s a good chunk of time spent ordering drinks (albeit no line), peeing, and trying not to throw up with a giant belly’o’liquid.
