Foreigner Is Selling $1,000 Tickets That Put Fans in the Spotlight
Foreigner marked its 50th anniversary tour by offering fans a premium VIP package priced from $1,000, letting ticket-holders sit onstage while the band performed. The offer comes as fans increasingly grumble about high concert prices, even for standard general admission tickets, yet continue to pay large sums for enhanced access, underlining how far artists can push premium pricing for milestone tours.
The Golden Anniversary VIP Ticket included onstage seating for three songs, a meet-and-greet with a commemorative photo, exclusive 50th anniversary memorabilia such as a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl of unreleased recordings, a signed lyric sheet and a bottle of the band's Backstage Bourbon, plus early venue entry, VIP concierge service, premium seating afterwards, and a keychain granting future priority access. The packages, sold via Eventbrite, were available in limited numbers for each show on Foreigner's run of dates through August, with prices varying by city and venue.
