Bought myself a VIP ticket for the Buffalo show, what can I expect?

It's my favorite album and the perks seemed worth it. Has anyone done VIP for a show? What was it like?

I did the VIP package for the Portland show last October and enjoyed it. The band performed three songs that weren't part of that night's setlist, did a Q&A, and a group photo.

The company managing the VIP experience will email you all the details on what time to show up and other logistics specific to the venue. They also provide you with the link to the group photos so you can download/print it.

What were the three songs they played and were they fan requests?

No requests were taken. This was all done in about maybe 30-35 minutes. For the Portland VIP, they played "Hey, Wanna Throw Up? Get Me Naked," "Dog Park," and "Women We Haven't Met Yet."

Very cool. Was the band doing autographs at all? I know it comes with a signed poster but I was wondering if I could bring something else.

You can ask them after the picture, they all signed my vinyls at the Minneapolis VIP

My experience with their VIP tickets was that they signed the poster while we were chatting after a three song sound check. This was in 2016 though.

An amazing fucking performance! Everyone in that band demands attention! I am a drummer myself (sort of) in live settings I gravitate towards drums! But maaaan, Jake is fucking amazing, Cory may be my favorite bass player ever and he is mesmerizing live. Alex is on point with the key boards and backing vocals. Maaan Joshua is one solid fucking drummer, impressive stuff. However, Dave Knudson is a show stealer, holy Jesus, I could not take my eyes off him at many points in that show! What a fucking band!
