    Unpopular opinion: Lana is a master manipulator. I think a lot of the controversy that surrounds her is precisely calculated. There always seem to be just enough commotion for people to talk about her yet not quite enough to make them abandon her. Idk..too many things seem to "randomly" pop up at convenient times.

    I think only dedicated fans are buying the VIP package. In general, I find that people either don't care about Lana or they are really really into her.
    Within those that do buy the VIP packages (myself included) I don't think that shelling out money means less dedication than those that wait in line for 10hours. Time is money. I can work X amount of hours to make enough to buy the VIP ticket or I can wait X amount of hours on the asphalt. I chose to work in the comfort of my office, but I'm still going to arrive early to get a better advantage to the front row.
    Damn right I'm never letting go of that barricade! I'm hitting the gym and pumping iron the next six months in preparation!

    Both songs are ok, but I simply don't understand why she choses to let them fall flat during the chorus. Pretty straight-forward and once again no interesting bridges, tempo changes etc.
     
    But hell, these are just for soundtracks. I really hope she manages to get more shifts and layers with her upcoming material. These simple choruses that are so present on UV just leave me behind with a feeling that something is missing.

    Oh come on ... the songs are good and fit the movie, but it's general "I thought i could trust you" stuff, seemingly including ONE scene from the movie where she actually paid attention, where they are sunbathing in the garden.
    "I had bright wishes in the summer,
    I was bathing in sunlight,
    Painting in the garden,"
     
    "I saw you creeping around the garden"
     
    "I noticed you got hot in summer
    You had no comfort Your shirt was cotton Your face was sunburned You paced around like you’d been waiting Waiting for something"     I mean like, the whole second verse of BE is lyrically stupid as hell. It's good soundtrack music but far away from a "diary in song form".

    Ouiiiii!!!
     
    I got the silver package as well. At 9:55am I was refreshing the page like crazy. This package was sold out a few hours later. Surprisingly, there's plenty of very good tickets still available for the pre-sale at regular price.
     
    @: my initial plan was to get a GA ticket at regular price. My ultimate goal for this show is to get front row, right in the center. If I'm on the edges, she might not come to my side. I want to see as clear as possible the expression in her eyes when she sings. It really moves me. They are the mirror of the soul.
     
    I was fine getting there at 5-6am even though I'm not an early bird. I was fine waiting for 12-14 hours. Then I realized that if people with a VIP silver package are allowed to enter the venue for GA before everybody else, they will take the best spot and people who waited all day will have to take the remaining space. Is it fair? It's subjective I guess... it sucks for people who waited all day, but on the other hand, there are real fans who absolutely cannot skip school or work to get in line early. It's not my case, but I'm trying to figure the positive side of it, because honestly it makes be sad to think some fans cannot have a premium spot even though they waited all day.

    Regarding the meet & greet, honestly I don't care much... she's quite accessible, if I want to say hi, there are plenty other ways to do it. I'm already slightly uncomfortable with the concept of paying extra to skip the line, I don't want to feel more uncomfortable paying to meet her. There's nothing wrong with it and I have no idea how those things work, but I have the impression of something artificial about it. I checked VIP packages for other artists and if you want to meet Usher, you have to pay a minimum of $800. The gold package is $1400 and it allows you to blow his cock.
     
    To see Lana, my limit would have been $400 for the silver VIP package. It's a one shot thing.

    Do it up girl! I know what you mean, growing up poor. I never wanted things in my early life cause I knew it was challenging for my rents. Now I make my own way and I want to live my life. If I get a selfie with Lana I'll retire from the pit for future shows I go to.

    According to Facebook page it's just ELVIS and also I saw that on livenation, (for the Montreal show) the VIP packages are $325 for GOLD, $250 for SILVER, AND $225 for BRONZE, so us Americans can hope that it will be about $30-50 cheaper since Canadian money is more expensive

    Her SOC performance was not part of her planned set list. Before singing it she had a back and forth with the band and she would say- that one? do we know that one? how does it start? 
    Seemed a band member suggested it and kind of urged her on to do it. It was not a perfect performance but we were so lucky to hear the first live SOC performance, sung purely from passion.
