Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has ever attended a WWE house show before and paid for the WWE VIP Superstar Experience. There is the VIP Merch one that is $299, but I am talking about the VIP Superstar one for $599. I always think about it, but it's costly and I am not really sure if it is worth it. I know a lot is included such as the event chair and the merchandise items. They allow free parking but I take the train in. They also say that there is a meet and greet. This is the part I really go back and forth on. Is it a meet and greet with like two people or all the superstars there for that event? Do you know beforehand who it is? Do you have any choice? I don't want to spend this kind of money if I only end up meeting like one or two people and they are not even superstars I would have chosen to meet. I am also hesitant because I would want a front row seat but they always seem to be sold out. It always comes up as a seat within the 3rd-5th rows. Please let me know if you have any information on this. Thank you!

I was at one in 2002 and to be truthful it was not worth the money. We got a VIP pass which we wore around our necks and then we were taking to a room where Kurt Angle and Matt Hardy quickly signed autographs and posed for photos. Angle was very pleasant and said hello but Hardy didn't utter a word which was very disappointing.
Then we were led up to a bar in the arena and we passed a huge glass window and inside was the Make a wish group and Mysterio, Funaki, Edge, Rikishi, Lesnar and Torrie Wilson were all in with them signing autographs, posing for photos and talking to them.
Once we arrived in the bar there a buffet and everything was free including the alcohol.
Then we were all brought into the arena and were seated 8 rows back from the ring which an awful view and we couldn't even see the entrance.
Maybe it's different now but me and Mum left very disappointed and the price for all we got was a rip off.

It always felt like a huge ripoff to me. You usually have no idea who you're going to meet, you get a chair that really means nothing (Pay-Per-View chairs are super cool, but a house show chair? Meh.) Given that those ringside seats have a $100-$110 face value (plus Ticketmaster fees), you're paying a really hefty premium for what, in my opinion, amounts to very little.
I'm glad they offer them, though, because it all but guarantees me a great front row seat a week or two out when they inevitably don't sell and get thrown back in the pool at face value. That strategy has netted me front row at ever house show I've attended for the last several years.

No ive not done it but its not worth it. Youre paying $500 to meet what likely will be a mixture of former nxt talents who you couldve met all of them in florida for $10 and the likes of a few mid carders, if that. Ive seen tons of these pics on instagram the past few years and i never fail to feel bad for the people. Theres no stars on the current roster anyway its all indy guys and nxt ppl aside from lesnar cena big show and a few.

I did last August.
Ended up meeting Apollo Crews and New Day. This was just after Apollo made his main roster debut so a lot of people in line were like 'who was that first guy?'. We weren't told who we'd be meeting until we were in line. Apollo was cool though. I expected Charlotte to be there because she does a lot of meet and greets before shows.
A front row seat was also included. Not in the second or third row like they can be, right at the front. Didn't get to keep the chair though. That's only a PPV thing.
There was a bit of useless merch. Autograph book, card poster, hat, earphones and lanyard for your ticket. I remember they had a WWE Championship on display that we were told Brock carried around during his reign which people were free to take photos with.
It's worth it for the meet and greet alone but at the same time, I was staying at the same hotel as them so I got to meet Jericho, Zayn and Gallows before the show anyway.

After the last nxt house show i went to in Florida i went into the parking lot and met the tough enough guys, enzo, balor, corbin, mojo, apollo, bayley, the mechanics, vaudvillians and a few more. They escort the girls to their cars but the guys just go about it on their own. Bayley was in a little mazda with the mechanics and aiden english.

I feel like at a house show $600 is a ripoff. I've heard the meet and greet portion is very brief, and not much happens at a house show. I've sat front row at a house show for $90. Cool experience but nothing super special. And maybe it's just me but I don't get the event chair thing. Oooo I get to lug a folding chair around with me now and try to figure out where to put this thing when I get home.

The Mechanics was their old unofficial name before The Revival. |
