Being on the "guest list" at a concert

I'm pretty sure it means Tool gets to hookup with Fluffpop while you watch from a roped-off area.

This is what it means.

soldier - would you be pissed if fluffpop hooked up with Maynard James Keenan?

[NT!]

at smaller venues it means you get in for free, usually you get on it because you know the band.

at medium venues it means the above, plus maybe you get a better seat or some drink tickets or something. or not.

at a big venue it means the above, plus maybe you get a backstage pass or something. or not. usually it will be specified when you get the tickets.

likely what this means is you can go in without paying, and not much else.

I don't think you guys are reading; he doesn't have to pay either way, guest list or not. The tickets were a prize, the perk is that he is on the "Guest List". Emily knows the tour manager (and the band; she also got me 311 signed limited edition lithographs if anyone knows how much to sell those for on ebay, she said they were worth bank but I have no idea how much to start them at) and thinks that the prizewinner (me or whomever I gave the tickets to) is going to be able to meet the band.

With my job, I've been to a lot of concerts/sporting events/etc. VIP and it means something different almost everytime. Most often there are several levels of VIPness, with the passes letting you by some security, but not others. I've had VIP passes where I didn't even get free food, which is typically the minimum VIP bonus.

"Guest List" sounds extra weak, like "you can only skip the line" weak.

NL,

As many have said, it means different things. Mainly it just means that your name is on the guest list. So when you go to Will Call, make sure you tell him you are on the guest list, otherwise he will be looking for your name from the online ticket orderers and you won't be there. Often they will have multiple guest lists, so if they ask which one I assume you'd be on the Tool guest list.

That just says what list your names will be under. You might have anything ranging from just a pair of tickets on that guest list to full backstage laminate passes. You'll find out when you get there.

If you do have backstage access, there's a good chance that you will have like first level backstage access and then if fluffpop goes with you she will get to actually go hang out with the band in the real VIP backstage area.

NL,

Where are you going to take fluffpop to thank her for her super kind gesture of giving you these tickets instead of selling them for big bucks? I suggest Island Prime. Actually, you are a good guy, I bet you already have reservations there.

All,

Thanks for the replies. I'll post a trip report if anything cool happens but I have a feeling its just gonna be a "skip the line" type thing.

NL,

There's a good chance you won't even get to skip the line.
