This was the first time and last time I will ever use VIP Nation to buy tickets to a show.

I purchased one of the VIP ticket packages for Prince and his Welcome 2 Canada tour for the Calgary show. When we got to the show, it seemed quite unorganized. Some people got some items in the gift back that others didn't, the t-shirts were not part of the package and we were told they would be mailed to us and to top it off, the seats were terrible. I could have got better seats on ticketmaster a week before the show. The icing on all this is the Prince t-shirt showed up in the mail today, and it is just a generic, very poor quality, thin shirt with the Prince symbol and the words, Whatever Skin We're In We All Need 2 B Friends. If I had know I would have bought a Welcome 2 Canada shirt at the show. Just absolute garbage.

The show was fantastic. VIP Nation You blow!!

Sorry to hear bout your experience.

My wife and I also bought the Purple Circle VIP package through VIP Nation for the London, ON show. I must say that the reps at the concert were very organized, pleasant and professional. We got there early but they let us come in and wait since the weather was crappy, which we thought was pretty cool of them. While we sat there we saw them putting the packages together and everyone got the exact same thing in their packages, altought we were all told that we would be getting our T-shirts and commemorative tickets in the mail in a few weeks (which we are still waiting for, but I spoke to them last week and they assured us that we would get them this week). As for the seats, we got awesome seats right beside the stage on the sampler side so we were extremely close. Overall it was a great experience and even if the t-shirts are cheap quality it won't take away from the overall experience of witnessing the show so up close and personal.

I used them also and had no problems at all. I dont care about the shirt myself. I buy the tickets for location and the tshirt type thing did not really matter to me. I will use again

My NJ & NY tee's took MONTHS to arrive. Toronto's were 10 times better & complete on arrival. Overall I find Live nation just fine, I'd rather see Prince on the tees but it is what it is.

Quite not satisfied with it either... Didn,t get the laminate nor the commemorative ticket.. they said it would get in the mail since it was stuck at the border.. but it's been a month and a half now.. didn't recieve anything yet!

T shirt was in the bag though, although I would also have prefered a W2C t-shirt!!

And that 100$ gift card to buy pictures online is a absolute joke, as the pictures on the site cost like 1000$ 2500$...

we went to seven of the LA shows all 25$ tix cost .. on the floor seats .. we danced all night gotta handshake from the lone keyboard player who wasnt on stage but was out there where we were .. weird .. n had the best time ever .. gotta really kewl tshirt the first night from the guy walkn around outside on the street for ten bux got my videos from the phone n met tons of kewl fans .. those ppl sitting next to the stage behind the ropes had shit seats i thought, the stage was above theyre heads n they seated right next to it how fucked up is that .. your view is a wall basically n i think someone who was in there said those seats cost 800.. but oh well to each theyre own..

do have to say one of those tix said we had access to the forum bar which we went to n ate n stuff, 8bux for a half sammich n 6 for an all iced drink " /> , but they said no going in after the shows over unless u paid major league prices to see the show in there .. nice stage set up they had behind the velvet curtains they let me stick ma head in .. didnt any of u who were in theyre take video of that after stuff that went on in there? one of the ppl who worked in there said the band did a few jams after in there .. it was so intimate it looked n felt as if u were walking into a cave to see a band play ..
