Subscriber K5Jon 0 Posted May 22, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted May 22, 2015 I believe it was an option to buy a VIP package and you got a brief tour backstage. I also think there have been a few radio contests giving fans an opportunity to win, but to my knowledge you don't get to meet the band, they had offered the same thing during the last tour as well, you got to basically see the inner workings of the show backstage, I think someone said the tour ran at that time about 15-20 minutes long, but don't believe anyone reported ever meeting the band. I think the VIP purchasers also get a nice limited edition collectible, for this tour I believe it is a numbered photo book, I recall seeing some images of online, I want to say its limited to 30,000 copies.

Subscriber laurabw 1 Posted May 22, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'd like to know what it entails too. Someone has to get picked each night, so if we're lucky it's someone on here who will give us the scoop. Link to post Share on other sites

They must be doing a random backstage pass tour for Red Zone ticket holders, sounds like you need to simply be checked into the venue by 6:30pm. I am sure they will have more information about it there at the venue. I believe this is the same backstage pass tour that the VIP ticket purchasers get too. Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber qantas 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted May 24, 2015 I did the backstage tour in Phoenix Friday night. We went up to one of the suite where the lighting director was and met him, saw the light boards. Then down a level to meet the sound director. He has been with the band sincce 1978 annd was telling us about the new sound system. Then it was behind the stage to the meet video director. Then we went under the stage and met the keeper of Edge's guitars. Saw the 18 guitars he has for the show. Then it was over the the e stage for pictures on the stage. I was back in the red zone by 7:20. I ended up second from the rail right at the end of the stage. Their were 8 on the tour annd it did include the winners from teh VIP tickets. There were 2 from the red zone, and 4 from the VIP tickets. Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber allyson2008 28 Posted June 5, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted June 5, 2015 For Red Zone in Phoenix (night 2), they gave us raffle tickets. They did say we needed to be there by 6:30 to be eligible for the "drawing" (but I think we got there around 4:30 LOL!) However, I don't know when or where they announce the winner because we stood in the regular GA section. Link to post Share on other sites
