First time I saw Debbie Gibson in Niagara Falls USA, I paid $500 for the front row seat because I'm a huge fan, but checked ticket price again before concert, I found out place wasn't even full and second row seat only cost $100, still I had a great time.
This time I got an email from Bandsintown that says LA Guns will be in Buffalo.
www.eventbrite.com
It says tickets available from Evenbrite and Etix, so I clicked on the Eventbrite link because I have an account, the page has a picture that says "LA Guns Black Diamond VIP 23 24", which I thought was the tour's name. I bought it in a hurry cos it was at work during break time, paid $135 USD ($180 CAD) for a "General admission ticket", which is on the right side of the Evenbrite page. On the weekend, I got an email to remind me of this "event", I read the email carefully and found out this "VIP ticket" is just to meet the band and get something signed, it does not even include admission for the actual concert, which has to be bought through Etix and only cost around $40, and through Etix I found out LA Guns is not even the main act of the event, but "special guests", which means they would probably only pay 30 minutes or 1 hour...while I like the band, I don't like them enough to pay them $180 to sign my CD...so immediately I requested a refund, and ultimately got it back but lost $15 processing fee...
Why the hell would this band sell some scammy "VIP package" when they are not even the main band? I've been to several musical events in Canada, never seen any band selling a "meet and greet" thing separately. I know I should read the fine print, but I have to click on that "Read More" to find out that "A VIP ticket does NOT include admission to the show. Show tickets are sold separately. Please purchase prior to attending the VIP Experience." This is definitely borderline FRAUD.
Anyway, I'm not even gonna see this band now, I'm using the money to see an escort to soothe my nerves, screw Buffalo too.
