   I saw the Wonder Girls on July 12, 2010, and I purchased VIP tickets.
   I never received an email or any information telling me when the VIP reception started.

   So I paid premium tickets for nothing. I didn't get a photo with the girls, I didn't get any gift, I got scammed.
   When I received the tickets in the mail, you'd think they would have included this information.

   Plus my VIP seats werent any better than some of the non VIP seats I saw.
   What a complete rip-off.

   To top it off, the opening act in Canada wasn't even 2PM.

   I think it's only fair that the promotion company provide some sort of compensation. Give me a small refund, mail me some gifts. At least give me some kind of Wonder Girl souvenir!

   that sucks :(
   i think the international jyp entertainment is much less professional and disorganized than the one in korea. i think the opening guest was 2AM wasnt it?? they're really famous in korea too and their the best buds of 2PM. in korea, we call them together 'one day'. Anyways, i really like wondergirls themselves but when i see these kinds of things happen, i feel so bad for the people who got mistreated and also the WGs blamed for mistreating their fans.. when its actually whoever made the mistake in the company's fault. o & i can't believe you didnt get to take a pic with them!!! weren't everyone privilaged to do that?? anyways.. i wish you luck........ i hope they give you some gifts / souvenirs to make up for this.

   Actually, they did release details regarding the VIP meeting beforehand. I knew a day or two beforehand and I wasn't even VIP. How this information was released, I'm not sure because again, I wasn't VIP. But regardless, you could have called the Living Arts Centre for details. You could have asked the box office when you got to the venue. You could have asked around online on Soompi or WGSpectacle.

   And to be fair, they never said 2PM or 2AM were going to be the opening acts. Especially 2PM, who was only part of the first leg of the concert. They have their own concert to prepare for this month, so there was really no chance they'd come. If you read fanaccounts, you'd know who the Toronto opening act was, and you could have guessed who Mississauga would get.

   I'd try calling the venue and forwarding your complaints there, and maybe they'd still have extra tour gifts left around? FYI, it was just a postcard with the same image as the poster they're selling at the merchandise table.

   agree with GiGi. it's up to you to figure out things that are important to you. don't expect everything to be given to you on a silver platter. (also, if you had been doing your research for the past month, you would have known that neither 2PM nor 2AM would be opening for the girls.)

   and honestly, your demands regarding gifts or some kind of compensation just make you look silly.

   @ buddhafest does your mom still spoon feed you ?

   honestly what was going through your mind when you knew there was a photo opt with the girls and you didn't bring a camera. come on dude do your own research next time.

   I don't know where you got that from but I don't believe she EVER said she didn't bring a camera. You should pay more attention before insulting someone...

   @buddhafest
   That really sucks :/
   I'm not impressed with how JYP has been handling their American tour (yeah they went to Canada.. that doesn't count as a world tour as far as I'm concerned). I do know for a fact that neither 2PM nor 2AM were to be opening acts for the July 12th show. The St. Louis concert on the 8th was going to be 2AM's last stop.

   @buddhafest, but why didn't you call and check to find out the greet and meet schedule? Since you already paid for the VIP ticket, if I were you, and I hadn't received any info about it, I would have called and checked if there was any mix up the day before the concert.

   @Kissableboy
   I agree with the first part, if buddhafest is 17 or older. I dont agree with you insulting someone since what you said is basically is a lie since buddha didnt say if they forgot a camera.

   @buddhafest
   I agree with some of what you say. But for the most part I think their show here in Canada was amazing

   WHY DO I THINK THAT?
   I went to the mod club theatre in Toronto. I waited in line and i got to be the first person to get a picture with them.
   While i was waiting in line, i kept on telling myself: "Im gonna act all cool, make a sick pose... blah blah blah"
   When the time came, i took a slow walk to the photo place and I saw them *cute :D*
   I stood between yoobin and lim. That's when i said to myself "if you will only meet them once in your life, make it worthwhile", So i tried to tell yoobin "Is it okay if i hug you?" --> but what came out of my mouth was something like "Cwan ee hwuuug chuuu" >_<
   I hugged her anyways and she giggled, and thats what threw me off D: After she giggled, she made me laugh right when the guy was taking a picture.... and my perfect "hugging YOOBIN picture" got ruined by my face -.-
   I then bowed to them asian style and then they bowed tooo! (If i ever thought they didn't care about the fan, that totally would have changed my mind)
   Other than that, i touched all their hands during the show (especially yenny :O ) And i managed to swipe myself one of the ten water bottles that they drank out of (2 for each girl, mine was from YOOOOBIN! <--- and if you thought you read wrong, YES I SWIPED THEIR WATER >_<... )
   *this memory will never be forgotten :D*

   So buddhafest i think although you feel ripped off, i think you should have made the best possible effort to make this show enjoyable for you, like I did. When i told people weeks before this concert was coming, they laughed at me because i was a guy who "liked Girly Groups".

   ...Now they wish they were there with me to touch their hands lolo

   @Streetcong: LOLLLL i saw you! you looked completely different when you walked away from meeting them, ahahaha almost as if you were still in shock. everyone was watching you like a hawk as you were the first person in line!

   i've got a pretty good feeling that we'll be meeting them again some day though. but not for a while, they've been going non-stop for months now.

    @4Skin haha... did you really see me? I feel famous now 8)

    But still 4skin, dont you agree the Toronto show was amazing aside from the venue location (Mod Club Theatre)? In all honesty, that place kinda looked bootleg compared to the venues United States had. Maybe that was what made it sooo great. The TO fans were like so passionate and we got to stand righttt up front to the small stage. (SO SMALL you could jump on and hug them, SO SMALL you could shake their hands )

    And definately, they are coming back, *Yenny: ROGERS CENTRE* <-- woop woop. I hope they come again. If they do, I'll try to be the first VIP in line again lolll

    Okay let me clear-up some misunderstandings that people are getting.

    -I never said I didn't bring a camera. I brought a camera and camcorder.

    -I also never said I didn't enjoy the show. I had a good time there and being my first concert experience it was okay. Although it wasn't what I had hoped for because of the VIP mishap.

    -How am I being spoonfed if I pay a premium price for VIP tickets. I paid with my own money for what they set in tone as VIP tickets. They mailed me my tickets and all I saw on the tickets was the 8pm start time. Shoudln't they have included a VIP information package with my tickets? Does that sound unreasonable for a promotion company to provide? I just thought VIP would be after the show. Since I've never gone to a concert before, how would I know it would be before the show? I've been working in a marketing company for a few years now and when we setup VIP promotion packages, we include all the information the customer will need.

    -When I arrived at the Living Arts Centre, I told them what happened. You know what they told me, they ran out of the free photo that all VIP guests should receive. How do you run out of VIP photos? They know exactly how many people purchased VIP tickets. There's a set amount. What kind of promotion company doesn't have extra photos just in case?

    Anyway,
    - My issue with opening act isn't that big of a deal. I was just venting.
    - The real issue is that when I arrived at the Venue, and talked to the workers at Living Arts Centre, I'm told they ran out of the free photo hand out, and no one even offered that I could get a quick photo-op with Wondergirls. Is it that big of a deal for them to just have the girls go back to the Meet and Greet Hall with their Security Guards and let me and my friend get a photo with them?

    FYI, I still like the Wondergirls. I did afterall get to touch Yenny's hand when she walked by my seat. I just feel a little sour that I didn't get to actually meet them in person.

    $150 is beyond cheap to even shake an artist's hand.
    people need to wake up and realize that these kinds of opportunities aren't free, so get over it.
