Hella Mega Tour VIP packages spark fan disappointment over price, perks
While we couldn’t be more excited for the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer, some people are not pleased with the prices of tickets so far.
The tour will make stops in Europe and North America, with the veteran acts playing iconic songs both old and new on the same night.

While it’s expected that fans would have to dish out some cash to see the stacked lineup, some fans are not happy with the high price of a VIP ticket that doesn’t include a meet and greet.
The cheapest VIP package is the Harley-Davidson HELLA VIP, which is reportedly $229. While there are various packages, the priciest one, Rainbow Unicorn VIP, is about $650.
The biggest issue people have with the most expensive package is that it includes a premium ticket, a backstage tour, access to a lounge with snacks, a tour laminate and a bunch of merch. However, there is no meet and greet at all.
Fans took to Twitter to express their outrage at the prices that don’t even include meeting the acts. See what they had to say below.

However, some people did say that if someone didn’t like the price of the ticket, they could just not pay for it and stop complaining.
I’m seeing some negative things about people who bought the top hella mega VIP package. I’m confused why – how does this affect you in any way? Are they spending your money? You can disagree with the price but don’t belittle people who decided to pay that for the package.
