Dream Theater Meet&Greet - To buy or not to buy, that is the question

[Tanax]

Hey!

I'm wondering what you guys think I should do.
Should I buy the M&G package?

I have friends that are going to the concert but unfortunately neither of them wants to buy the backstage tickets so basically I have 2 options here..

1. Get the regular tickets and be able to stand with my friends and enjoy the concert with them..
2. Get the M&G tickets and stand at the front -- by myself -- and then have an awesome time backstage

Price isn't really the issue here. I would prefer to have someone with me that I know, backstage, but it's really not a big deal. The main concern here is that I'll be alone during the concert, is it worth it??

Also, if I do decide to get the M&G tickets, what can I generally expect from it? They list some things on the website about what's included and what not but I mean more like, how it's been previous years?

Im not getting the meet and greet (finances wont allow it) But I am planning on buying the package below that, figured I was gonna buy a T shirt anyway, and good tickets were already into the hundreds so I figured why not.

Cool! Yeah, the M&G is darn expensive which was why I had some questions about it to see if it's really worth it and how it works.

Mostly I'm curious about how storage works. I read someplace that you stand in line and get the "stuff you brought with you" signed. That stuff.. can you store it someplace? Like in a locker? Or do you have to keep it with you during the concert and stuff? Seems.. not so flexible.

I bought Toto vip tickets last summer and i loved it!!
Had to keep my signed 'stuff' with me but i didn't care..
I met Luke and the rest of Toto so my day couldn´t be better..
I think it is absolutely worth it to meet Dream Theater!!

Not sure the expense involved, but if they're good friends and you have the xtra cash, you could consider paying the difference on their tix so you can all be up front and enjoy the Back Stage stuff after. Good Karma is good karma.

If you don't wanna spend the money, i'd maybe hang with your buddies and see if John is doing a free clinic in the area around the concert date. Those things are always great.
Good luck
