Hey all. Been listening to UM for a couple of years and lurking on here for a couple of months, but this is my first post. Thanks @SchladopianFir for creating the thread - it’s been helpful.
So I’m planning on hitting the NYC shows, but I’m on the fence about doing the umVIP and interested in any pointers pro or con. Is this just a cash grab? Even if it is a bit of one, I’m leaning towards pulling the trigger - it isn’t all that much more than a Tool ticket anyways, and I assume the VIP set will be sick.
Also, do these go quick? Do I need to be on clicking at 10 sharp for a shot at these?
When I use to sell weed, we did vip all the time. Early entry plus free booze was always a plus. Now I wouldn’t dare do vip. Talk about a waste of money. Sheesh
Wow. Thanks all for the warm welcome and the tips! Very much appreciated. Leaning towards going for it, with the open bar as the tipping point. Going to be down there VIP or no … maybe I’ll run into some of you.
@MarchHare welcome, and I’m so sorry in advance. We’ll try to jade you slower than @Zencer.
Definitely agree that VIP and headphones are worth doing at least once as a noob. The VIP set will likely drop at least one rarity for you to fluff your stats with. And from a cash grab standpoint, NYC definitely isn’t a bad place to do VIP since you could easily spend as much/more pregaming at a bar vs the VIP open bar.
