Maks, Val & Peta (MVP) Confidential Tour VIP Experience

MVPtourMaks Val & Peta (MVP) Tour 2018:  The VIP Experience

#MVPConfidentialTour

#maksandvaltour

The MVP Tour is a MUST see!  This group truly knows how to make individual experiences super special and it was great to have Peta join this time.  Many other artists could learn a thing or two from them and how to make a fan’s experience one they will never forget.

MVPtourThis blog will be on the Front Row Package which included:

*One front row ticket

*VIP early entry into the venue

*Exclusive preshow meet & greet with Maksim and Valentin Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd

*Personal photograph with Maksim and Valentin Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd

*VIP access to the official Maks & Val & Peta preshow reception

*Champagne toast

*Collectible tour program autographed by Maksim and Valentin Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd

*Maks & Val & Peta photo frame

*Exclusive Maks & Val & Peta VIP merchandise item, & more!

Right away it started off good, I received my instructional email about 5 days ahead of the show and we have to arrive 3 hours ahead for both of the shows I attended.  It was very detailed and included all the important details.  I appreciated that because it showed they were respecting your time, some VIP events you have to get there 4-5 hours ahead and you stand and wait.  Maks, Val & Peta did this right!

Upon arrival the process was very organized, you sign in get the appropriate package and laminate and you were directed to the VIP party area.  Once everyone was checked in I was thrilled to see everything started happening, there was not a lot of stand around and waiting.  Maks, Val & Peta came in 10 minutes later, stopped and did the Champagne toast and headed to the designated photo box.  This automatically got a thumbs up from me.  I loved that they had a nice private area so you didn’t have 200+ people all staring at you while you had your photo/meet & greet.

Once it was your turn you entered the photo box were able to step in and have your moment with them and then take your photo.  I know I am always saying it but, they are truly the absolute kindest, sweetest, talented and most humble people.  They put in the effort to make each fans experience special and they do not rush it.  It’s not a photo assembly line type of thing it’s a genuine interaction.  A few people in Raleigh felt it was more rushed than last tour but, I didn’t think so, these experiences are what you make of them in so many ways.  This is something all the VIP packages were able to do which is great!

After the photos were done you could take advantage of the crowd free merchandise shopping or just hang out at the party.  If you had the upgrade package you were escorted by the VIP host & security down to Maks, Val & Peta’s dressing room.  I was so incredibly happy they added this back in this tour.   This was such a small intimate group which makes it truly special.  You enter the room, sit down, receive your champagne flute and just sit and visit with Maks, Val & Peta for 20 minutes.  I seriously cannot say enough of the experience and the fact they would provide individuals with this type of access.  They genuinely want to get to know their fans and it shows in all that they do.  While you are in the room they autograph & personalize the tour program for you and this time they added selfies on your personal phone which I thought was great!  After the time is up the VIP host takes another photo of you and Maks, Val & Peta and that gets posted on the tour social page.

As far as the show itself I literally cannot say enough good about this tour, how it was put together the amazing staff/tour family and you are left wishing it wasn’t over.  I will be doing another blog on the actual show shortly I want to see it again to be sure I don’t miss anything.

Final thoughts are this is how a tour and VIP program should run.  Your time is respected, you are treated with kindness & respect and you receive a genuine interaction and in the upgrade package a chance to really sit down and get to know Maks, Val & Peta.  You absolutely receive value for your hard earned dollars that you spend for the experience.

Keith Urban:  Once in a Lifetime Package

#keithurban

0B_ZJ6m4I was so excited when I saw that Keith Urban was going to offer VIP packages with his ripCord Tour.  The Once in a Lifetime package option allowed you to get an individual photo with Keith!  Prior to this you had to win a fan club contest giveaway to meet Keith and I was never fortunate enough to win.  I have met Keith at CMA fest though the last two years and he has always impressed me.  He has no ego, a genuine kindness, he’s a sweet man and truly one of the best at fan interaction.IMG_4961 (2)

It looks like they sold 6 of these packages per show which was great because it was a nice small group.  You had to arrive at check in between 5:15-6 pm, you received your bag of special items to go with the package.  I included a photo of what you received from merchandise discounts at the show or online, a blanket, license plate holder, temporary tattoo, special light up VIP lanyard, hat etc.  After check in you were taken back to an air conditioned tent and I don’t think there was more than 75-100 people in there including those packages like mine, radio station winners, CISCO staff (they sponsored the party) and then the fan club photo winners.  They had food, water and soda for us.  Keith’s staff handled everything very organized.  They brought everyone back for photos in small groups based on the type of pass you had.  The photo interaction was private which I loved although a bit fast however still not a photo assembly line.  You could enter the room and Keith gives you a huge hug, asks your name etc.  I hope the photos will be posted quickly.  . Hu5LHP6q

After the photos Keith came in and sang one song by request and answered a little over a handful of questions.  What I loved about that is it was intimate and everyone was told and everyone respected the no cell phones, cameras or recording and it was great.  It was a nice intimate and engaged interaction.  After that we were taken down to the pit.   cu0VTKzn

 

 

The show was absolutely fantastic.  Maren Morris, Brett Eldredge opened and they both were absolutely wonderful!  Keith and his band hit the stage with such energy!  The show was absolutely awesome, I love how Keith will spotlight members of his band during the show and allow them to sing individually as well.  Keith is such an engaging performer, he sang many of his hits, songs off the new album and if we had been inside he would have blown the roof off the venue!  Every time I have seen him perform he brings 200%, if you have never seen him perform…GO buy your tickets now!

gSHwZY6zI love how Keith uses social media.  After every show he will tweet photos and does a short video on IG or Twitter thanking the fans from that city, sharing his thoughts from the evening etc.  It’s just a special thing he makes a point of doing and that 1-2 minutes is appreciated by fans.

The venue:  Coastal Credit Music Park in Raleigh was good, the security and staff are all very nice.  Last summer I would have given them 5 stars for the ease in getting out after the show.  Last night I would give them a fail on that.  It took over 45 minutes to get out after the show vs the 15 minutes max it took last year for all the events I attended.

Concert Wear!

I love wearing my J Crew tee’s to shows!  They are lightweight and come in fun colors!  https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/Tshirtsandtanktops/shortsleevetshirts/PRDOVR~A6166/A6166.jsp

IMG_4829 (2)I also used my Coach Wristlet and cross body that I was given as gifts from friends for my birthday.  They were perfect!  The wristlet held my car key, ID, money and credit card and the cross body fit the wristlet, camera and lip gloss with room left over but, it was nice not to have to carry around a bulky purse with me.
