Hello All Muffins & Plague Rats,

I wanted to discuss the VIP Meet and Greets with everyone that is coming to them. We, at the Asylum, have been looking at ways to give you the most unique experience you could possibly have with Emilie Autumn. I know in the initial package that went out we said we would be offering anything ranging from a Q & A to Craft time. We have come with a very unique idea for Emilie Autumn and something that has never been done before this tour. We would like to invite you in to to witness the never before seen, behind the scenes soundcheck & rehearsal. Not only will you be able to see Emilie but you will see all the Crumpets as they soundcheck and polish up the choreography for the show. This is a vital part of our everyday set up and is a unique look at what it takes and what happens that you usually don't see. Emilie Autumn has never allowed anyone into her soundcheck / rehearsal time. This is closed off to everyone in the public and would like to invite the privileged few into this event to be the first to hear the new songs and see any new choreography. This is also an amazing chance to be able to see Emilie and the Crumpets interact and improve the show that everyone sees. Never before have the Crumpets ever been involved or seen during a VIP meet and greet. Emilie and the Crumpets would like to invite you all in to witness a very special moment.

We think that this is the most unique and special thing that we could ever offer you. An inside look into the world of The Asylum and how it all comes together. You will still be getting the photo with Emilie and the autograph along with the keepsakes.

I hope that everyone understands what a unique experience this is to be invited into a part of the Asylum that no one ever gets to witness.

-AHM

While this is an excellent opportunity, I'm sure you can understand why a few select muffins such as myself may be disappointed with this. It's not what we were promised, and I know that the poetry reading/violin recital was a huge part of why I wished to go to the concert as a VIP. Of course, I'm still excited to finally be seeing Emilie live, I just feel a little let down by the fact that I'll not be getting what was promised in the first place. I'm sure it'll still be a good experience, I'm just not entirely sure I would've shelled out the money knowing what the VIP package would entail. I do hope you understand.

With that: is it possible to get a refund on a VIP ticket, under the circumstances? I'm not saying that is the route I'm going to take (as the chance to meet Emilie practically one-on-one could overrule anything else), but it would be useful to know.

Thank you for all your hard work, help and patience!

I understand that it is an honor to see EA and the crumpets rehearse but.... to be honest, this left me quite upset. Why is this being changed now? I have paid lots of money for my VIP ticket, and hence I want what it's supposed to include. Q&A-time and eventual crafty time was something I was looking forward to and I find it a bit unfair that it is being changed.
I hope I wont be hated for this. Just my opinion.
It will be amazing beyond words still, of course.
edit: (it's at least lots of money for a girl in my age...)

I agree with PlagueRattyRat and StripedRat. It's truly a great opportunity and something I'll appreciate, it really is, but just not what I expected. I think I would have enjoyed violin/poetry/Q&A more because it would somehow feel that we're closer and more connected to EA.

A sound check is not an unique experience. Simply not what I paid for.
So.Dissappointed.

Thats not true. My friend kissed Veronica before the show, during the vip.

To be honest I can quite second this... I'm just to modest to say it. Of course it's unique because it's EA though...
And, isn't there any form of contract when you buy the tickets? Like, if you don't get what you're promised, you should get your money back or something...?
I'm not demanding money back just asking.

Well, ArtistArena says no refunds for any reasons ):
I wouldn't want a refund though since I basically bought the VIP because I wanted the chance to meet her... The other stuff was a nice bonus. But I definitely think the SWE tickets were ridiculously expensive (Almost 3x normal tickets!) if this is all there's going to be.

I loved the private sound check. Getting a preview of Gaslight and Girls, Girls, Girls in a near empty theater and no screaming crowd was amazing. And after meeting Emilie and getting my signature and photo, I got to go right up front and watch the crumpets practice/play around on stage for a while. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.

I can definitely understand that it's an amazing experience on the first few dates of the tour - but we're seeing her in April and the songs won't be that new and.. well, "interesting" (I can't seem to find a better word, I'll probably still love the songs but I will have heard them several times by then, thus it won't feel as exclusive as any of the things that were listed on the site).

STILL... WANT... V... I... P... TICKETS...

I do agree that people should get what they are promised though; I'm sure there are people who got the VIP package who were very excited for the Q&A, violin etc., but don't care as much for seeing the rehearsals.
Letting people see the rehearsals is a great idea, but maybe not a great idea to bring in when most people have already gotten their tickets and can't be refunded if they are not happy with the change.

Personally, I found the thought of a Q&A session really nice.
And I agree that unless the show changes, getting to see the rehearsals is probably going to be a lot more exciting at the beginning of the tour, when the songs and show are still new.

Exactly this. I'm attending the Bristol show, which is the penultimate UK date, I think. By the point that show comes around, as with the shows near to it, I know I'll already be familiarised with some of the songs. The people on these first few dates are hearing the songs for the first time, so of course it's incredibly exciting. For those of us attending later shows, it won't be exciting in the slightest, really.

While I'm not overly pleased at the last minute change to the VIP package, may I suggest one little tweak that might make up for it?

Since the Bloody Crumpets will be present during the soundcheck/rehearsal, why not extend photograph and autograph opportunities to include EA AND the Bloody Crumpets?

I know I wouldn't mind pictures and autographs, with/from each of the performers.
