From what I’ve checked out about the YES Fragile Tour VIP deals, you get way more than just a T-shirt. They offer stuff like premium seats (way up front), backstage tours, chances to take photos on stage, and even exclusive merch like posters made by Roger Dean, who’s basically their art guy. Oh, and they throw in things like a YES pendant, collectible items, a souvenir laminate, and early access to buy merch before big crowds rush in.

I’ve always wondered if VIP tickets are worth it, and for regular pop shows, usually not. But if you’re a mega-fan or like to collect rare stuff, YES is kind of known for having hardcore collectors. Exclusive posters or pendants might actually mean something for fans.

Are they overpriced? Maybe for casual folks, but if you want the ultimate bragging rights and cool memories (like telling your friends you stood on stage where Roundabout gets played), I could see why people go for it. For the right person, it’s more than just merch—it’s the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience fans chase.
