When a big tour rolls into town there’s typically some insane VIP packages that only the wealthiest of us can even dream of affording.
Recent afflictions remind us of Prince and The Rolling Stones which happily saw diehards forking out thousands upon thousands for a prime position and some sweet touring merchandise.
The latest to join the VIP game is none other than Aussie hip hop star 360, for his upcoming September national tour.
The 27-year old MC, who is gearing up to tour his upcoming third record Utopia, has unveiled a set of different VIP packages for the hardcore 360 fans, with some insane prices – $1000.00 for a “selfie with Sixty” anyone?
You read right. For the price of a flight to London(or anywhere really) you could hit that inverted camera button on your smartphone, hang your arm around the ‘Boys Like You’ rapper and snap away. For those that are seeking the budget-effective option, you can score a selfie photo-op for a scant 500 dollars…
Of course, for such a grand price, your $1,000 ticket also gets you a general admission ticket as well other perks, like the chance to bounce along side-of-stage during the performance plus signed merchandise.
For those that are seeking the budget-effective option, you can score a selfie photo-op for a scant $500.00 as well as some other signed goods, but even that’s still pretty damn expensive to give a shaka and poke your tongue out with Sixty for a minute.
Of course, for those obsessed with the Aussie hip-hop extraordinaire who have a wad of cash, this is a rad deal. But there is no denying that one giant question mark hovers over these VIP packages: is 360 an act big enough to ask fans to hand over a thousand dollars for privileges for selfies and VIP access?
As great as these package deals may be providing that “once in a life time” opportunity, it’s only beneficial for those with the deepest of pockets. The notion of ethics is severely challenged by these touring artists – is it really okay to whack such a hefty price tag on such added benefits? Or our beloved music idols milking us for all we’ve got?
