I never heard of it until a few minutes ago when I linked to a myspace blog ...here's part of it...
Neil has also teamed up with

don't be fooled by ILAA. you get a goodie (

) bag and decent seats, but as far as getting near the band members..... well, if one or two show up to the pre show event, which can be juice and cookies or cheese and crackers, you'll get a group photo taken and can view it on their site. I'd say your better off buying your own good seats and hanging by the buses after the show. just my opinion of course.

I agree with Lula -- some of us looked into these for Dallas, and the ILAA tickets were $375.00/ea.! I went to check out what all you get for that, and it was abysmal except for good seats and access to the pre-show party (which the band may or may not attend). The rest looked like complete fluff, such as discounts at the merch table and website store (more money?). Instead, we joined the Heart Fan Club for $30 and then bought excellent seats in the first 8 rows for the regular price...

Saved $225.00/ea. by doing so.

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated.
Something to think about if this city is added to the Neil Diamond tour.

I did ILAA twice - once during the Generations tour and once during the JSS-fronted tour
In Concord, there was a nice patio, a buffet, a large screen TV playing Journey, beautiful day, raffles (I won that Journey shirt with collar that looked like a guy's shirt), the "goodie" bag and second row center seats. We met Jon Cain and Steve Augeri. Jon took small group photos, because of time, Steve took larger group shots. I stood next to Jon, so I was able to crop out everyone else! LOL!
Now at Shoreline, the area was crowded, not enough seats, uncomfortable, couldn't get to the bar or the food easily, a crowded raffle, the "goodie" bag with a great Journey/Def Leppard shirt - I'm wearing it right now, actually, and seats about fourth row center. Nowhere near as classy or as good as the Concord experience, but to get that close was worth the money (btw, shoreline was $125 cheaper than Concord, which was almost $500, if I remember correctly).
I heard in Marysville (Sacramento) that Deen and Jeff came out - can't remember for sure.
So, each experience is different, the seats are great, there are no guarantees you will meet any of the guys so you have to experience it. If you most definitely want an up front seat (and I love watching Neal play up close), ILAA is pretty reputable in my book.

Well, parking is included, you get a t-shirt, and the booze is free at the pre-show party, so some of that $225.00 gets balanced out.
I've done the five star route four or five times in different cities, and it's always been good; seats are great, partying with other hard-core fans before the show is cool, and one or more of the band members usually show up.
But, to each her/his own...I think it is worth it, but I understand others (like Wix who would rather spend the difference on boy toys) say, "no way!"

Ah - I could kick myself in the butt for not doing ILAA for Marysville, too!

What does the Target Center think they are doing scheduling the Journey concert on a Tuesday??? Don't they know that that won't work for me? Come on!!
I would have to drive 400 miles each way...not going to happen on a school night
One thing stupid about ILAA - why don't they tell you where YOUR seats are at??

To make sure you can't re-sell them is what I think. Besides the anticipation at the pre-show party is a lot of fun to see who got the front row.l
BTW- I love All Access and always buy those tickets rather than going through the nightmare of ticketmaster. This way I know I have great seats, a few munchies and a couple drinks. It's all good except for the pain in the checkbook.
