Enjoyed a great show last night, Plain White Ts. Purchased the VIP package that included meet and greet, prime seating, and photo with the band. Didn't mind paying the premium, until I had to pay $14 per well drink. Really? Got interesting after that.
After the show I was one of the first few for the meet and photo. Told we'll have your photo ready in 5 to 10 minutes. 35 minutes later it finally comes out, when I'm told that it really is another $35 if I want the "full package" other wise it's just a 4x6 print - different from what the hostess told me when I purchased the ticket.
None the less I said I take the smaller print they showed me, after which they told me they needed to reprint it. Another 10 minutes later I just have up. When I told the photo hucksters that I've waited long enough (55 minutes vs 5 to 10) I received a rather rude "it's on its way out soon"" reply.
Moral of the story is don't expect VIP treatment just because you paid the VIP prices. Also, expect less than attentive customer service from anyone whose job is to sell you on things your really don't need. Can't blame them though, they are just doing what Caesar's expects of them.
