Rolling Stones VIP ticket-holders kept in tunnel for 90 minutes before Vancouver show, concertgoer says

A man who attended the Rolling Stones concert in Vancouver last Friday wants answers from the venue after his VIP experience, he says, was less than ideal.

Burnaby resident John Hall told CTV News he spent $450 on a “Tumbling Dice" VIP package billed as giving fans early entry to BC Place Stadium and some exclusive merchandise. PavCo, the Crown corporation that runs BC Place, declined an interview with CTV News, but sent an emailed statement saying staff “are aware of the concerns raised by attendees” of the Rolling Stones show. Hall said VIP ticket-holders were escorted underground immediately upon entry and weren’t told they could leave to hang out in the concourse, and added that stepping out of line would defeat the purpose of arriving early to get the best view of the Stones.
