After hearing this, I've officially decided there is NO compelling reason I'd ever pay that much for a freaking ILAA ticket. I always heard Fan Asylum was the way to go, and the much better deal. I don't know first-hand about either, but the first time I looked at the ILAA "5-star" package, it looked more like "2-Star"... about $5 of loot (sticker, shopping bag for the loot you'll have to pay for), a relaxed shopping experience (more money to spend on loot to fill the bag with, but you get to be comfortable while you do it), discounts at the online store (MORE money to spend), special parking and hassle-free entrance (I've never had problems with either)... and now a guaranteed meet-and-greet that doesn't guarantee anything.

I have nothing wrong with the band at all, but aside from great seats, it seems you run a real RISK by wasting money on it...

Let me tell ya what "5-star" access is to me.... Join Queensryche's Fan Club for $30-$35, apply for meet/greet and or soundcheck passes, and get treated like royalty by a band who spends lots of time with each fan to make sure they get the most for their experience. Another thing I have Ratgirl to thank for turning me on to...

They're probably afraid of me having 5-star tickets and harassing them about playing "One More," "Of a Lifetime," and "Into Your Arms" at the M&G.

If you did that, I'd ask them to play "Baby I'm A Leavin' You" just to rock block ya!

That song's actually grown on me lately.. I'm starting to like it.

Now if you requested "Homemade Love," you'd be requesting a doctor soon after....

Aww, heck... why not go all out and ask if they'll play a Dokken tune? In fact, I have it on good authority a fan in Council Bluffs asked Deen if he'd played in Dokken!!!
