Sorry guys but no VIPs on these shows. We can only do them for full on tours or else the different items in the goodie bags will become riduclously expensive to make.
Cheers man. It's a shame there's no meet and greet, even if there was no goodies etc, the goodies aren't important, just to say hello, sign a couple of things, photo opportunity etc. Was hoping for a meet and greet to get the Retinal Circus VIP band photo by the Kerrang photographer signed at the Dublin gig. Fingers crossed the band book rooms at the Gresham hotel... just a stones throw from the Academy! Would love to get the pic signed by the full band!
We've decided never to do just a meet n greet for VIP's as its hard to justify asking money for such a thing. With a goodie bag added it changes things as you get great value for your money and the meet n greet is 'just' there to complete the experience. May sound weird to some but it just feel right to do it without the goodies. You got a real nice plaque made there. Brings back memories. That was a good day!
Cheers for the compliment man. It was truly a fantastic day!, and it's a great reminder of it, with the signed awesome canvas print next to it on display!. The goody bags were awesome that day!. I saw Devin's post on FB this morning about the VIP tix for London, so I was playing around with the idea of purchasing 2 VIPs for the gig, flying to London, then flying to Dublin the following day for the Irish date. It works out ridiculously expensive but would be thoroughly worth it I'm sure. Decisions decisions
On that note,
The Academy in Dublin usually want the bands finished by 10pm on a Saturday night, so they can have their lame nightclub after... is this gig going to be finished by 10pm?. Last time DTP played it was a weekday.... I'm praying the 10pm limit isn't going to happen :/
Not sure yet about the Dublin end time. Waiting for my tour manager to come up with the itinerary which is usually ready a few days prior to the show(s). And would be cool to see you again in London. Im definitely flying over for that one.
London is looking pretty dodgy at this stage as I have two court cases in Dublin that day (for work). But if I can get the chance to get this pic signed, I want your name on it too . Will be stalking the Academy on the 4th
