Plan to spend at least 200 USD if you want a VIP ticket.

Fanmeets for overseas fans are pretty simple and not that long. The artist will generally perform a handful of songs maybe 4-5 and in between the songs they'll have Q&A sessions where they collected questions from the fans prior to. They'll play games on stage and randomly select fans in the crowd to participate As well as giving away a few merch goodies to random fans or fans who win a specific game they were playing on stage. If you’re lucky enough to win the game or lucky enough in general and on stage with the members you may get high fives from them or hugs. The boys will generally talk to the fans when it’s not their turn for their ‘team’ of whatever game their playing IF you’re playing a team game. Some games that have been done like musical chairs don’t really allow for much talking but haha you may accidentally sit on your bias or vice versa or even knock him out of the chair. If it was that type of game. That’s generally about all that occurs at a fanmeet that isn’t directly in Korea or even Japan. Some companies are more liberal and will allow ‘vip’ tickets to also get to do a hitouch and if you’re EXTRA lucky a group photo activity. For some fanmeets getting VIP tickets is just getting ‘early access’ and being in the ‘pit’. I just wanted you to be aware of all the options so you aren’t disappointed because I was honestly expecting at least a hitouch with SHINee (as others had done so) but it’s definitely not a guarantee and actually the majority of fanmeets (I found this out later) don’t include those.

US fanmeets are usually just kinda like mini-concerts, it seems like- or at least that's what happened with SHINee and GOT7. Those, I think, had perks like photos with the band and hi-touch and stuff: pretty typical concert stuff. Best of luck! If you see them live I promise they will blow away your expectations :) that's exactly what they did to me
