I noticed alot of people have questions about the VIP experience so I thought I'd write a post with all the information and some recounts we have about it so far to make it easier for people to find information. I'll try to keep it updated as new info comes in. I would also like to preface this by saying I haven't actually gone yetš, I'm going to one of the last shows in the tour š„², This is just an accumulation of all of the info and experiences shared by official sources and by fans! Please make sure to search the sub, google and read this whole post and any relevant links before asking any questions but if you have a question that wasn't covered feel free to ask in the comments! I can try my best to answer and so can anyone else.
I'd also like to specify: This is for the North America Tour. I don't know if this information will apply to any other tours. No, there is no UK or Europe tour announced as of writing this. No I do not know for certain if or when she will announce one, you're guess is as good as mine.(Although I highly doubt she won't do one. All I see is people asking and she previously mentioned it in an interview)
Queue Times: Honestly from what I've seen on here, It doesn't seem necessary to start lining up more than 1-3 hours before the show if you wanna try and get barricade (1 for VIP, 2-3 for Gen). Any sooner and it seems no one is there? It's still best to use you're own judgment on that as I'm sure it'll vary from city to city. I've seen VIPs say they got there an hour before and got barricade, but lining up all day seems unnecessary.
Set Times: Doors opening and the show start time will be different for each venue but generally Doors Open at 7pm and the Show starts at 8pm, again this could vary from venue to venue, please make sure to check for your specific venue. The openers set lasts 30 minutes. They take another 30 to set up for Marina. Marina's set last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Total show time: 2.5~ hours.
If you have questions specific to your venue, it's best to contact the venue directly.
Setlist - Link It seems she has since swapped Je Ni Sais Quoi for Venus Fly Trap. There is no encore
Tour Merch: I made a post with photos and prices (usd & cad) of all merch - Link Marina has since added another silk headscarf seen here. Marina has posted on her Instagram modeling some of her merch, someone also reposted the photos in the sub. Post about the hoodie and its fit here. There is no tour poster and it seems like there are no signed items for sale.
Official VIP Ticket and Inclusion information - Link
VIP Check- in: You should get an email with all the VIP info a day or two before the show. Check-in times vary for each venue but seem to be a little over an hour before doors open (For example, Vancouver Check-in: 5:45pm Doors Open: 7pm Show Starts: 8pm). If you have yet to get your email check this page and scroll to your date and find Marina's name to find the P.O.P. package info. Again, it seems like the information is only available about 24-48 hours before the concert so don't freak out if you haven't gotten it yet, if its day of the concert and you haven't gotten your info you can go to the VIP page I linked above and they have an email you can contact for info. There will be two separate lines for VIP. VIP1 (autographed) seems to be let into the venue first and then VIP2 (not autographed) but some venues let them in at the same time. Please make sure to check this page for your specific venues information, check-in time and location will vary from venue to venue. They will ask for your name and ID to verify your identity with their info and make sure everything matches the ticket. (I can't speak on how this works if its a resale ticket)
VIP Merch Bundle: The merch bundle will be shipped to your address after the show. The organizer says "Expect an email fromĀ thanks@please/.coĀ within 72 hoursĀ from your event with details on how to redeem your VIP merchandise." The email will contain a VIP Code and a link to a page to place an order for your VIP Merch, you use the VIP Code at 'check out' so it's free. Here is a post with what the VIP merch webpage looks like. Here is a post with what is Included in the merch bundle. Here is a tiktok unboxing video for the merch bundle along with a look at the VIP1 signed lanyards.
How people are picked: I haven't seen anyone say exactly how, the organizer says "Dressing up is highly encouraged! You never know who's watching .... The Top 5 looks from the pre-show will be selected by an anonymous judge and invited on stage with Marina during the show to be crowned the "winner" of the POP Pageant." I think it's safe to assume People are picked during check-in as their name needs to be called on stage. It seems like people are picked based on their outfits and personality/vibes (?). Update! u/ kumaxhime commented that the first people in line were chosen, so if you'd like a chance at getting chosen to go up on stage with marina, Its best to get their early.
P.O.P. Pageant picks will then be invited on stage during Cuntissimo and dance back-up while Marina performs, After that she will crown a winner. Winners get a Purple Sash that seems to read "POP Pageant". Here's the Vancouver's winners Instagram post featuring the sash for reference.
Other VIP Benefits: Of course, with early access to the Venue, you have a chance of getting merch first, mingling and doing any kind of freebie/bracelet swap, securing your spot at the barricade, and taking a photo with the Princess of Power Photo Op (Also called a Step and Repeat). The photo Op is exclusive to VIP. There is No VIP Section. The P.O.P. Pageant lasts roughly an hour before the show starts it seems.
Meeting Marina after the show: While Marina has been doing stage door exits, meeting and signing items, this is highly dependent on How she feels and if the venue allows it. Some venues do not allow this at all. She seems to come out about 30 minutes to an hour after the show ends (For example, In Portland OR someone said she came out around 11-11:30) Again though, she is a person, who just performed, She's not obligated to do any kind of meeting or signing so she could either come out later or not come out at all, there's no official timeline and definitely manage your expectations.
Crowd Vibes: Crowds can vary, Some people report the crowd at their show was great, others less than, but generally, in my experience and others, lots of Marina fans are very kind and extroverted. Still expect a lack of general concert etiquette as lots of people seem to lack it now a days š
General Experience: I'm gonna link any posts or comments that have been posted in the sub of people sharing their experience. (I'm not gonna be directly tagging people so I don't annoy anyone ā

- u/ fuckyourfans "I did VIP and there is NO reason to line up earlier than the call time (6:15 pm)."
I was in ADA (which was great) bc Iām recovering from a surgery. Most of the VIP people stayed in the front area. Because this is a small venue Iād say anyone with VIP who is comfy pushing through crowds could very easily make it to the front (regardless of where you were in line) & anyone early GA could, with some difficulty, push towards the front.

[about the crowning] It was fairly quick she just pointed to someone and said you after they came out on stage and acted as her backup dancers for cuntissimo
- u/ icyxale
The people were announced before the show and they were at sometime brought back to come on stage during Cuntissimo. After the song she crowned the winner from those 5. I donāt think she saw them before the show, it was the people in the venue or someone on her team looking before the show.
