Professional photographer! Unique tour poster! Sheet music! Sign me up!

Unless I missed it, I don't see a price though.

Q: How do the photos with Weird Al work?

A: A professional photographer will be on-site to take your photo with Al at the Meet & Greet. You can opt to either have a solo photo taken with Al or with your group. Physical photos (described in premium description) will be printed immediately following the taking of the photo and available for signature if that is your choice for your one signed item.

I like that you get the picture immediately and can have it signed if you want! I know a lot of artists started using professional photographers which is cool, but usually you have to wait a day or so for them to upload it then sift through a million other people's pictures to find yours. Instant gratification! Nice!

I saw a price of $289 on a couple venues' sites.

$289 ish for this seems OK when you consider the seats in the first 15 rows -- for some venues (such as the Greek in LA) those tickets alone could be like $100 on their own...hmm

I really want to try to do the VIP package this time around. But at the same time I know I won't be able to afford it until after Christmas and I don't want to wait too long and not be able to get a good seat or things be sold out. I'm really hoping one of the 3 dates that haven't been announced yet are in Cincinnati but I really doubt it

Remember when you used to be able to sit front row for $60 and meet Al at his tour bus for free? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

During the Mandatory World Tour in Thunder Bay Al did a free meet and greet at the bus. He said hi and signed things, but no photos were allowed. There was no VIP at that show; I don't know whether that influenced Al's decision to do the bus thing. It was probably going to be a long trip to the next venue -- he was going to have to go through Customs that night on his way back to the U.S.-- but he still did the meet and greet. Thank you, Al!

In Milwaukee last spring, he did both the VIP meet and greet and he signed stuff at the bus. The no photo rule is strictly enforced there though.

[OneWAY]

I sat in the front row at a show earlier this year for about sixty bucks, and he still met fans at the bus after several shows. That's still a thing. The decorum is a little different, but it's still a thing.

There's no mention of any games or contests for the VIP stuff; I wonder if that's not happening anymore?

Has anyone been able to buy VIP with a presale? I'm guessing we have to wait until Friday. There wasn't an option for St. Louis or Cedar Rapids IA. I'm just checking out a whole bunch of places in the Midwest.
I see there's mention of an afterparty in stead of before

[weird_el]

VIP tix were available for the Madison presale, but I've never experienced such sticker shock. There's a $100 charge on top of the VIP cost. I spent nearly $700 for 2 tickets. OUCH!!

I got good seats for Hamilton for less.
