Just watch 3 songs
Here's a brief writeup of what the VIP was like:
I had VIP yesterday. Everyone lined up outside and they let you in the lobby around 4:15pm. About 4:30pm everyone was let into the actual theatre area. The band was on stage. Stapp greeted everyone and they started the sound check. They played Say I, Beautiful, and Faceless Man. Twice during the sound check Stapp said that afterwards they would greet everyone in the back (of the venue). After the 3 songs were done, they pushed us out into the lobby again. People were complaining that Stapp said the band was going to greet the fans. They told us to wait while they found out what was going on. About 10 minutes later they said no meet and greet and everyone should exit the building and return at 7pm. So that kind of sucked. For $175 it would have been nice for the band to at least come out and say hi to everyone. But the VIP ticket program did not mention anything about a meet and greet so it's all good.
As I was leaving the sound check I heard one of the crew members say that when Stapp said he would meet with fans after, he was referring to those fans who won some radio contest, not all of the VIP people.
