VIP Experience ACL2025

ACL 2025 VIP experience was worth it. 2026 will be better.

I’m a concert goer and enjoy the comfort of the VIP section. It does take away from the GA experience (if you wanna experience that). I did that my first year and I can’t go back.🤭🤭

This was my first year doing VIP and I experienced the show from the platform and its vibes!

I say if you can afford it, do it.

Transcript of the video below.

Let me know if you guys have any questions about how last year went!

00:00 Hey guys, I wanted to share my VIP experience at ACL 2025.
00:05 First off, VIP check in was a breeze.
00:07 Its own dedicated line made everything super fast and super convenient.
00:12 Um, I checked out the festival grounds
00:15 has a first step and um,
00:18 this year I had the pleasure of being joined by Miss Miata
00:22 like the car. Shout out to her
00:24 for being the best concert festival buddy someone could ask for.
00:29 So yeah. So we explore the grounds a bit.
00:32 Um, went to things like the Snapchat station
00:36 where you got to dance to a song with your little Avatar.
00:40 But other spots included like the T Mobile Lounge,
00:44 Tito's Lounge and things like the American Express Lounge
00:47 where you could take your own photo cover for your album.
00:50 We also saw this custom hat making station
00:53 where you got to purchase a hat
00:55 and decorated with all these embroidery things.
00:57 About 35 bucks. Then came the VIP lounges.
01:01 There were two east and west.
01:02 I mostly set up home base at the East VIP Lounge
01:05 which offered premium viewing of the American Express stage.
01:09 Um, here you can see the um,
01:11 shaded reserved seating area in the VIP lounge.
01:16 Um, the VIP cost around 14 dollars
01:18 and while it didn't include free food or drinks,
01:20 it did come with exclusive sessions for merch,
01:23 food and alcohol which just made the experience smooth.
01:28 Um, here you can see some of the viewing sections from the premium VIP
01:33 Access area. It's pretty early on in that first video and then this one.
01:38 Um, it was later in the day,
01:40 4:30 or 5:00 or so. But you gotta get there early to get a good spot.
01:44 Um, yeah,
01:45 so first artist I saw was Miss Marina,
01:48 and she put on a great show.
01:50 But other artists that I saw um,
01:52 included Miss Dochi, which I really,
01:55 really enjoyed Miss Dochi.
01:57 But other artists that I saw included, um.
02:01 Yeah, T pain, um,
02:03 the killers,
02:05 and then also um, Miss Sabrina Carpenter,
02:09 who I think was the highlight of my weekend for sure.
02:14 She had such a presence about her
02:17 and her songs are just so goddamn catchy.
02:20 Um, yeah it was.
02:21 I never experienced a concert so far away
02:24 and still be able to completely a joining from the
02:27 enjoy it from the VIP section.
02:29 Um, I was blown away, darling.
02:31 Blown away. Um,
