rentrer en soi VIPs

Basically you'll get into the concert before everyone else and be seated up front. You'll also get some free gifts when you pick up your VIP pass from the JhouseRock booth in the dealers room. At the autograph session you'll get ahead of everyone who didn't purchase a VIP pass as well. So don't throw it away after the concert!

Oh and as far as how many there are... you got me there.

You can get into the Autograph/Picture session before anyone else with the VIP pass?? I bought a VIP pass for the concert and didn't know that...I thought I read somewhere that you had to purchase ReS items at the JhouseRock booth in order to receive a ticket to get autographs or photos..(o_o)v

I've been to many cons where JHouseRock has handled the events involving the musical guests, so I thought I'd set the record straight concerning the "VIP premium admission passes".

When you pick up your passes, you'll be given a wristband with a number on it. The passes are allegedly numbered in the order in which they processed the on-line orders (which is why they provide the exact day and time they go on sale, the sooner you order the lower your numer will be). At the concert there will be 2 lines, one for people with just the convention passes and the premium admission/VIP line. You line up in order of your number. From my experience, they always sell well over 100 of these VIP passes, you you could potentially be the 100th or so person to go into the concert - but you are still ahead of tons of people who did not purchase the VIP passes.

As for the VIP pass getting you ahead for pictures and autographs ? That's news to me. JHRE has never tied the concert VIP passes with the other events at any of the events I've attended. In the past they sold picture tickets, however this year they are making you purchase merchandise in exchange for a picture ticket. There are no special lines for those events, you just have to show up early if you want a good spot. Everyone who is interested needs to read all the information on the JHRE website, since they are running all the events involving the band. Hope this helps.

Yeah that's because Security is handling the lines at this convention. I've worked with JHouseRock before and they know how I like to do things as well. You'll get in line ahead of everyone else. But you'll still need to have something for them to sign. So unless something changes, which I count on given my experience with -- well everything involving conventions and events, expect what's on the JHR website to happen but also in addition to what I tell you (Which hasn't been very much outside what they've outlined already). VIP Pass holders will get in ahead of everyone else at the autograph session but only before the autograph session starts. Once it begins it'll be first come first serve. You can purchase merchandise before the autograph session to have it ready for signing before the event. Depending on the volume of fans for this event, expect to limit yourself to 1 to 2 items being signed so choose carefully.

But thank you Nienna that was actually very helpful to I'm sure many excited fans.

That's excellent news about the potential change concerning the autograph line. I only went through the line once last year for 12012, but I understand they allowed people to go back through the line twice or three times and things eventually devolved and got out of hand (boob signage and whatnot )

I was at AnimeNext for the 12012 events this year and JHRE and the con security force kept things much more strict, limiting autographs to one item. I think that had more to do with the band's schedule though. Thanks for making things clearer about what we can expect !

I was there too, but the reason the autograph session at AnimeNEXT was shorten was because one of the members was allergic to the chemicals in the Sharpies.
