It applies to anyone willing to spend 2k to hang out with anyone.

Everyone has their own sense of what value they get for a product/service.  I would never pay someone to be allowed to hang out with them.  Admiring skills is very different from the hero worship we see in so many places today.

And if were to pay, it would be to hang out with Philthy.

I'd rather drink beers with AP.

Is there a maximum number of passes sold per event? Might be worth it as long as you aren’t fighting 50 other people for a picture. You can do that in the pits for the price of a monster can lol

 

and say I purchased a ticket for my son who’s 15. The info says he has to be accompanied by an adult… does this mean I have to buy a ticket too even though I don’t need jerseys and donuts and shit?

I think things went pretty well, but maybe I'm a bit biased. Overall, the feedback I've gotten has been fantastic. Several A1 guests have purchased spots for other rounds. Just to clarify, the other VIP programs are all priced the same: Star and TLD, both at $2,000. People really enjoyed the track walk, the gift boxes, and the time spent with Jett and Hunter. Dazzy, Johnny O, Lucas, and other members of the team dropped by to hang out, have lunch, and chat with the guests. It seems like most of the negative comments and hate are coming from folks who might be either jealous or have never experienced this. We know it's impossible to please everyone, but many folks out there spend this kind of money on a sporting event ticket without getting the chance to hang out with the stars.IMG 0214

Are you running it, Dan?

I did the regular VIP track walk @ $150 each for my son and I at A1. Moto has been such a huge part of our lives for so long, and it was something he wanted to do, so we did it. IMHO it was barely worth it for the VIP tent access combined with the track walk, as the track walk was just being herded like cattle for 10 minutes. We were fortunate to have walked the track Friday evening (thanks to Vital Mx!) which was a more detailed private walk, so we were a bit spoiled already and that biased our Saturday experience I'm sure. 

I might spring for the VIP day at Glendale. That's $800 with seat and pits included. I can't see spending $2K on one person for the Lawrence experience. But if you can afford it, and want to, have at it and enjoy!

If you can't afford it, so be it. If you can, give it a try. You won't find too many people who do it and regret it. 

As soon as VIP for next mxon in the US is announced I'll be first in line to hand over my credit card. Red Bud in 22 was well worth it. I'm doing the twisted tea supercross experience later this season. It includes most of the perks and it's $800 per person and that includes event ticket and some meals. I'll enjoy the behind the scenes stuff more than meeting any particular rider so this sounds perfect to me.

I wonder how many people complaining about the price won’t hesitate to fly to Cabo for a week and drop 4K? I guess it all depends on what you want to spend your money on. I personally would enjoy this VIP experience for one day more than I would a week long vacation that would cost much more. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these fans. If you can afford it, buy the tix and have a day you’ll never forget. I’m envious of you that have done and are planning on doing it in the future rounds

If there's one thing motorsport teaches you, it's that expensive is relative.

My broke ass would sure miss $2k, but it wouldn't make a difference to some, and others likely wouldn't even notice it's left their account.

If you've got the money and it seems like a good time to you, fair enough.

I'm guessing Feld would take a fairly decent bite out of the $2000, there's no way they arnt making anything out of it.

As far as the VIP tent goes, did they at least offer you some kind of food and beverage during the day? Also, do they give you access to the tent all day or kick you out after the track walk? Doing it at Snapdragon and I don't want to get my hopes up too high or expect too much because Moto has meant so much to me my whole life and I don't want to regret my purchase.

Yes, food (snacks and the best oatmeal cookies I’ve had in a long time!), drinks (water, Gatorade, sodas) and a beer tent right next door. Plus race programs on the tables for you to take. You have access all day. It was great to watch a quals session, head to the tent and relax, then go back in for the next session. By chance our seats were less than a 3 minute walk from the tent so it worked out perfect.

SX vip is a much better value 

I also think this is the cost for the cheapest ticket to the Superbowl.

would you spend 2k to drink beers with AP.

Since the privateers can't sell merch at the races, what would prevent them from allowing fans the "Privateer VIP experience" where for $50 you can have a 5 minute tour of the their pit and receive a free T-shirt?

The collective experience have a privateer VIP experience for a few years now.

Also I think some privateers have a loop hole by getting ppl to purchase off there online store. Then they collect the product at there pit.

Post a reply to: Lawrence experience A1...anyone do it?
