Any fans can pay me a mere $100, and I will give you a personal 30 minute consultation on a better, more fulfilling way to spend the other $400 from the unique perspective of a fellow Tool fan. Money back guarantee!
Are you in a band, or something?
I wasn't aware.

Hell yeah, Joey makes some good music too. Â There's even a thread for that:

(Also, what's up with the inability to quote some users' posts? Â Crow and Nate for 2 examples. Â I always have to jury rig a quote for these bastards...)

A thread too, huh. Wow, I wish someone had told me.
He's kept that quiet.

Fair enough. I'm reading into things differently, from a cost perspective. And I've yet to see how there was any real value in it.
Looking forward to our own FE member giving us the low-down.
Personally, I think someone who is willing to pay $500 would:
Love to have a play on Adam's guitar (fuck if I'd know that was an option I would have given it serious consideration).
Be happy to hear a range of answers to question. From what I've read it doesn't sound to me like questions were being avoided.
Be very happy hearing a sound check, especially if they played something like Eulogy and the other members of the band (sans Maynard) interacted with them.
Be quite happy to get a bunch of exclusive merch.
We both agree that the value for money is questionable for us (though if the price of the ticket were included that would have been much more appealing to me). Â The rest of the package is quite subjective though, and with you having not attended one, I don't see why I should give you opinion in regards to their merits any time. Â Those who have attended the sessions have posted quite positively about it, so I'm much more inclined to take their opinions.
That and the whole "stupidest person on the forum" and "dickhole" comments are really uncalled for. Â This is the internet, however I don't believe we need to lower ourselves to the level of petty name calling.

Neat reviews. Receiving direct answers to questions about Lateralus etc are pretty priceless if you've based a decent chunk of your life with it by your side - same goes for holding the Silverburst, chatting away with Adam, pics, handshakes...+ soundcheck + 1st entry into GA... $500 is about right. Take it or leave it, but at least the choice is there, you know? Top marks. Wish they were doing it at Ozzfest.

I've read two reviews of the Q and A's, and while they covered the things you mentioned (though not too sure about the "questions answered" part), I still can't see how that would've been worth $500. Especially since one review mentioned they shared the experience with EIGHTY other people.
I think my opinion is just as valid as yours or anyone elses, regardless of if I went or not - particularly since I prefaced it by saying FROM WHAT I'VE READ. I've never asked anyone to agree with me, and I'm simply stating my points for the pure joy of conversation.
And sorry for hurting your feelings, sweetheart. I'll be sure to avoid damaging your precious sensibilities in the future.

Hopefully they do something like this on their next tour in the US. I would pay the $500 no questions asked. The way I see it, money comes and goes, but I could always remember this experience. Fuck, these guys are living legends. To have a somewhat intimate experience like that w/ one of my favorite bands would be tasty.

After going to the concert I feel that the $500 meet and greet (which I didn't attend) was probably worth it. You're meeting someone from your favourite band and now they are taking requests in sound check. If that 80 people figure is true, I'd go as far to say it was priced too low. They probably made the $500 price point to keep the numbers down so it was a special something for the die hard fans. I mean in Australia in this day and age $500.00 isn't really that much money, what would you prefer, meeting Adam or an ipad?

Fair enough. Once again, this comes back to perceived value.
For what it's worth, from what I've heard and my own perception of the value, $200-$250 probably would've been fine. More like $200, however.
I'd just like to state that I find the whole "holding Adam's guitar" thing a little worrying. That's in hero-worshiping territory. Ugh.
But, as had been stated numerous times, it's all up to the people who actually went to say if it was worth it.
But $500. Jesus. I'm not completely broke, by any means, and I could've afforded it - but wow. And I would totally prefer a tablet over meeting some dude for twenty minutes.
I'm happy to leave this conversation at that, unless someone brings something new to light. We seem to be going around in circles, and if the subject ever gave us productive conversation, it isn't now.

An iPad costs $500? Holy shit!
Even I'd take the meet and greet over an iPad.
I got my tablet for about AU$420 (not a fucking Apple product). I can see how someone would value meeting their "idol", but I'm happy with something I use every day for at least an hour.

I think I more idolise the conversation I have with the fans (and also the fact that I have no life and no friends).

mate, I've told you time and again, that for the right price/sexual favours, I could be your best friend...
otherwise, on topic in relation to VIP cost, you have to remember that you're discussing this on a fan board, with fans who were OK with $150 price tag on a 20 year old EP.  I hated that specific aspect of what they do, but still happily shelled out $140 for a ticket to go stand at the barrier for their show but also take exception to $500 to 'meet' Adam... for what it's worth I idolise them for the  time I've enjoyed with their musical offerings, yet give absolutely zero fucks about them on a personal level.  I don't know them and feel no need to.  I mean, I wish them all well from a general human perspective, but quite literally expect nothing else of them and have little to nothing to offer them in return.
well piss on my tits and tell me it's raining
