Title: 'Z' Experience @ NYE Shows - Roll Call
Post by: n8kline on Nov 18, 2017, 03:27 PM
I am fortunate to have the 'Z' Experience for all 3 nights @ the NYE shows. I will be attending the shows alone and looking for people to share the experience with. Who else will be there?

I'm in for all three nights to. Also going solo as of now. I have tickets for two but my friend had to back out. I'm looking for someone interested in the extra set. I did the travel package and all so tickets are not in hand. I believe them pass out at the hotel when you arrive.

I am in all 3 nights but I probably won't spend much time in the lounge area. I really just wanted the posters that come with it.

No Z for me. I'll be slumming all three nights, as the Z tix were sold out by the time I pulled the trigger.

Anyone know if Roll Call laminates will get us folks in steerage early entry?

I am not doing Z.  But if anyone has an extra poster from one of the nights, please keep me in mind as I would like to buy one.   Probably a long shot..... but maybe someone doesn't want all three or are going with someone and may have a duplicate?  I'm hoping so.

If you're doing CID "Z", no stress needed - comes with a signed posted for each night and a private merch booth to buy regular nightly posters too

I didn't buy it cuz I never go in early to shows, but don't you get a special band-signed poster with the VIP tix? Who knows what it'll look like this time but for red rocks last year I bought one of them off eBay after the show for pretty much the cost of the VIP ticket. Which reminds me how dumb I probably am for not buying VIP for these NYE shows!

Yes, we get a special poster and one of the main reasons I went VIP. Plus even though at Red Rocks VIP went in the same time as RC early entry, that's no guarantee it'll be the same this time.

It seems to me VIP might have an earlier entry based on the Z stage, lounge etc. I'd think they'd want people to have the opportunity to take advantage of the things offered. It's quite possible VIP gets a different entry time for that stuff but no access to the floor until RC early entry time.

I know for Springsteen if you get into the E St. Lounge you get the percs like  this VIP but can't enter the pit until the lottery winners enter. Lottery winners are basically the same as RC early entry as far as first ones in the pit goes.

Jmo, and we don't know anything for certain right now,but I don't think it's a given VIP will enter with RC.

Nov 29, 18:37 EST

Hi Justin,

Thanks very much for your patience. The tour would like to honor early entry for both our Z Experience guests as well as Roll Call Members. While early entry will occur at the same time, each group will have a separate line. Our Z Experience guests will be able to enter from the VIP lounge and Roll Call Members will enter from the front doors. This will allow both groups to have access to the venue prior to doors opening to the public at 7PM.

While we do not have exact timing for the lounge to open at this time, please know we are planning to open the VIP lounge earlier in the day so that all Z Experience guests can really maximize their time and enjoy before early entry. An informational email will be sent about one week prior with full arrival details so please keep an eye out for that.

If you further questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out. Have a great day!



Best,
Liz

Thanks Justin,

I called CID yesterday and they estimated that doors to Z would open at 5, based on past experiences. He mentioned that they send an email out a week to a few days prior once they have all of the logistics figured out.

When I decided to go a few weeks ago, VIP "Z Experience" tickets were not available. I hear they became available a little while later, though I'm ok with spending $300 less. I'm guessing they made more available to improve overall ticket sales, as other signs indicate.

I also think there are 3 posters this time for VIP not just one like at RR two years ago. For those shows there was 1 VIP poster and 2 GA posters. Also I don't think getting a close spot will  be a problem if you are there when doors open.

I guess we'll find out all the details soon enough.  :smiley: At purchase it said one poster per night but no telling if that means three different ones or the same one each of the nights. Fingers crossed its three different ones but I'm not counting on it.

It will be a huge bummer if they are the same poster each night. I would hope they are all slightly different. IE like Emek or Burwell RR posters. In both those cases the designs are basically the same just reversed and different colors.

did they give these away every night? or just on NYE?

If anyone has extras of the scarf or thermos I would be interested in purchasing.

If you bought single day VIP's you got one for each night along with the poster for that night. If you bought the 3-day VIP you got one scarf and all three posters. The 3-day was a few bucks cheaper than buying 3 single nights.

I didn't get or even see the thermos and had no idea about it.

Edit to say I did the 3-day and they gave all the merch to me on night 1, except for the Champagne glass.

I want to add I thought CID handled the whole VIP deal pretty well. There were lines for everything but there was really no way around that. Really glad they had a coat check and had all the merch available night 1. It made for things being a lot easier the last two nights especially night three when there must've been another 100 people or so doing VIP.

It was cool they kept the lounge open during the show as it was easy to get drinks,water, food etc with not much trouble. I believe they closed the bar an hour before the end of the show but everything else was still available,including them keeping the soft drink/water bottle fridge stocked all three nights.

I agree Eric, things went pretty smooth and getting to the merch booth every night before anyone one else was awesome, no poster anxiety :grin: My only minor complaint was doing the hotel package you got shuttled to and from Broomfield, about a 45 minute trip. The shuttle leaving to Broomfield did not leave the hotel until 5:30 pm, same time the lounge opened. I just used the public bus system to get out to Broomfield earlier and used the shuttle back, worked out well for me.

OH yeah, no question about that. Getting access to the merch booth before doors was a huge perc for me. Got my poster anxiety free and was able to check it along with my coat and not having  to deal with a tube all night was a sweet bonus.

When we were lining up outside on night 1 the couple behind us had done the hotel package as well. They did the same as you as far as getting to the venue and weren't real thrilled either with the shuttle departing for the venue so late. I could be mistaken but I thought they said they got all their VIP merch at the hotel, so that seemed like a pretty good deal to me. One less line to deal with in the lounge.   :grin:

I didn't know about the thermos either. Anyone have a picture?

Thanks for the info!

You got it.  :thumbsup:

I want to add I thought CID handled the whole VIP deal pretty well. There were lines for everything but there was really no way around that. Really glad they had a coat check and had all the merch available night 1. It made for things being a lot easier the last two nights especially night three when there must've been another 100 people or so doing VIP.

It was cool they kept the lounge open during the show as it was easy to get drinks,water, food etc with not much trouble. I believe they closed the bar an hour before the end of the show but everything else was still available,including them keeping the soft drink/water bottle fridge stocked all three nights.
I agree Eric, things went pretty smooth and getting to the merch booth every night before anyone one else was awesome, no poster anxiety :grin: My only minor complaint was doing the hotel package you got shuttled to and from Broomfield, about a 45 minute trip. The shuttle leaving to Broomfield did not leave the hotel until 5:30 pm, same time the lounge opened. I just used the public bus system to get out to Broomfield earlier and used the shuttle back, worked out well for me.

OH yeah, no question about that. Getting access to the merch booth before doors was a huge perc for me. Got my poster anxiety free and was able to check it along with my coat and not having  to deal with a tube all night was a sweet bonus.


I agree as a poster fanatic being able to enter early and get the posters each night made the value of VIP worth it.

Anyone here interested in one of the NYE MMJ scarves that were given out for Z Experience on 12/31? I have an extra that is unopened.

I haven't seen anyone mention the photo opportunity on the original stage set of the My Morning Jacket 'Z' tour and a poster/photo gallery featuring prints from the band's twenty-year career. How was that?

I thought the poster/photo gallery was pretty cool. There were some good prints up for auction, and even though none of them really tripped my trigger, it was good to stroll around the gallery and check them out.

The stage wasn't really my thing but still pretty cool for those who were into it. You were allowed to take your own pictures on it but if you wanted one taken by the on site photog, those pics became property of CID to do as they wanted. Every VIP purchasers got a link to where we could purchase any of those pics taken.

I have links to all three nights pics and here's a link to the 12/29 pics if anyone wants to check them out.
