JoJo, 21, is offering her fans the chance to purchase a “Dream Guest VIP” package for upwards of $900, which will provide a ton of extra perks alongside their concert experience.

“I wanted to make them really different than what the typical VIP experience is,” JoJo told Access Hollywood this week before explaining, “You are actually going to get to come during while we’re loading in the show, and you’re gonna get to kind of help us set it up and make sure things are right and test out the drum with me or the DJ booth with me.”
According to Ticketmaster, JoJo’s Dream Guest VIP package — which she described as the “most exclusive” of her ticket options — will also allow fans to attend a pre-show Q&A and Soundcheck with the singer, help “put together the show with song selection input,” and receive “autographed JoJo memorabilia worn during the show.”

Other perks include access to a pre-show meet and greet and photo op with JoJo, early entry to the show, and pre-show merch shopping.
JoJo also has alternative concert packages available for fans to purchase, such as her “Ultimate VIP” package and “VIP Meet and Greet” option, as well as General Admission tickets.
JoJo’s prices have sparked some backlash online, not least because her fanbase largely skews younger. “paying $900 to work that absolutely insane,” one person tweeted, while another quipped, “what stage of capitalism is this.”

“Jojo Siwa having a $900 vip ticket package where you can help set up the stage… girl what kinda shit is that,” someone else said. “She can’t be serious,” another added, while one more user called out the poor timing of JoJo’s expensive tickets: “As if people can actually afford to see concerts right now…terrible timing.”
However, other people took no issue with the idea of JoJo’s Dream Guest VIP package. “Cant lie, that’s a really fun idea,” one user tweeted, while another joked, “A diva is a female version of a hustler.”
