You do. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Erin :) random note - I was right behind the girl who won for the Glasgow show in the line to collect our VIP lanyards from Justin, I remember her talking to her friends in line about it and Justin congratulating her on winning too, which was nice :) they leace it really quite late to announce the winner though, so you have to be around/online as late as the night before the show to find out if you won. I remember everyone commenting in the webpage for the show up to about 3 or 4 days before the show like 'pleasseee announce the platinum winner, its driving us nuts! lol...

[Lulu]

Thank you all so much. The fact that I got to come down to Miami to visit with my friend is fantastic, the fact that we are going to the show to gether is awesome, and now this is like a mile of icing on top. I'm in absolute shock! I don't even remember what the platinum entails, and I don't care! LOL

[Karah-Leigh]

That's awesome!

I hope I win for Orlando!

[PGarcia]

Congratulations, hope it's a blast!!

Well incase you do want to know, here you go ;)


Watch the Backstreet Boys perform 3 or 4 songs
Q&A
1 Pre-signed photo
1 Individual photo with the Backstreet Boys
Backstage tour
...and more!

the more tends to be an additional photo with the tour guide, your lanyard is signed and you get a years extra membership with the fanclub (via a redemption code on the back of the lanyard) :)

Holy cow, Isla!! I hope there's time for the tour! I know it doesn't always happen. But...lanyard? What is that? I thought they were those things made out of plastic strings by kids? LOL

[Isla]

lol their the passes that confirm you paid to be there. Instead of getting the sticker/label things they gave out to VIP & soundcheck winners last tour, they give out lanyards you wear around your neck :)

[Whoda Thunk?]

Wow! Congrats- that's really exciting.

[kimasabe]

That's great some VIPs are being awarded as prizes! WAY cool & CONGRATS to you Lulu! :)



Matt just told me I won the platinum VIP contest for the Miami show tomorrow night. I'm in shock.

[Fel]

Oh, that's so cool. Congratulations!



That's awesome!

I hope I win for Orlando!

Haha, that would be pretty sweet if one of us got it. Good luck, Woman. :cool:

So how and when do we find out if we won? Does it appear in our email?

[Isla]

Oh, that's so cool. Congratulations!

I don't think they send out emails anymore. You can tell by checking your profile on the fanclub, it'll say at the bottom of the box where it says how many points you have and how many view counts your profile has, it says 'you won win a platinum VIP' if you've won :)

[Karah-Leigh]

How did Matt tell you? On the FC site or by e-mail?

[Lulu]

It was an email from the fanclub, and to be honest I don't always read those right away. LOL And I NEVER go to the fanclub, so if that was the only way to know I'd have missed the it!

[Karah-Leigh]

Good, glad to know it's e-mail b/c I probably won't be checking the fan club while I'm in Florida lol

[Isla]

I thought they stopped using emails because there were alot of issues with emails not reaching inboxes (being filtered as spam etc.) or whatever... oh well, I guess you can check either way then :)

[marcisabell]

wow that's great!! congrats!! :D

[backstreetgirl1984]

congrats, I know how you feel, last year I won platinum vip on the fanclub, too !

Enjoy !

[BananasforBackstreet]

Congratulations on winning! My first question was going to be how were you contacted, but you answered. Have a wonderful time!

[*Nick's Lover*]

Congrats ;)

By the way, I have a question about this contest ? What do you have to do to enter it ?

[yerdua]

Congratulations !!!!!! :D
Enjoy every seconds!

[gina818]

congrats! :D

[Nicks~Destiny]

how do you enter? I recently joined the fanclub.

[Isla]

Congrats ;)

By the way, I have a question about this contest ? What do you have to do to enter it ?

To enter the platinum VIP contest, login to the fanclub, click here (http://backstreetboys.com/contests/698), then select the date you want to enter for via the drop down list (you can only enter the contest for one venue) then click on the 'signup for this' button :) hope that helps.

[Nicks~Destiny]

okay, i figured out how to enter, but why not anything for the Ravinia show in IL?

[BananasforBackstreet]

okay, i figured out how to enter, but why not anything for the Ravinia show in IL?

They don't offer the Platinum package for that particular venue.

[Isla]

okay, i figured out how to enter, but why not anything for the Ravinia show in IL?

I just checked, they aren't selling platinum packages for the Ravinia show, hence no contest I suppose. They should just change it so they give away a Gold package instead and then someone still wins a package rather than no-one being able to win one at all, says the critic in me...

absolutely. I agree. Do you know if you can enter for every show or can you only choose one?

Congratulations! That is such an awesome prize :D

[nicks heartlight]

congrats Lu!

[Lulu]

congrats Lu!

Thanks! I saw you tried to send me a pm but my inbox was full. Is there anything I can do for you?

[Lulu]

Thanks, everyone!
Can anyone tell me how long the platinum VIP thing lasts? I've got friends who will be dropping me off, and waiting for me.

[blewmymind]

Congrats! Enjoy! Are you doing a Backstreet tour???

[blewmymind]

I see they haven't added Canada yet, but I won last tour, so I doubt my luck will carry on this year!

[Becster]

Isn't it great?! It's so great to finally see you again! Congrats on VIP!!!

[ForeverFrick]

absolutely. I agree. Do you know if you can enter for every show or can you only choose one?

You can only choose one, which I personally think is stupid. Last tour you could enter the SC contest for every show you were going to. I wish it were still like that. Ah well. At least they are doing the contest to begin with. :) lol

[Lulu]

Congrats! Enjoy! Are you doing a Backstreet tour???

It's a mini tour. Miami tomorrow night, and Orlando on Tuesday. I've got a ticket for TO, and hopefully I'll get to do a couple of other shows in Canada if they offer more, and I can find someone to go with.

[Lulu]

But winning the SC contest was nothing like winning the Platinum VIP thing. I do agree though. They should be offering the most basic package for every show.

[Lulu]

Isn't it great?! It's so great to finally see you again! Congrats on VIP!!!

The VIP is the icing! Being here at your place is the filling!

[Lulu]

I see they haven't added Canada yet, but I won last tour, so I doubt my luck will carry on this year!

I wonder if I can enter the Canadian contest?

[Kristy]

Congrats! I'm doing VIP in Clarkston (Detroit) and I could not be any more excited! Have a great time!

[HollyBird]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG congratssssssss ;)))))

how EPIC!!!! wow. thrilled for you!!!!!!

You can enter it more than once, in a around about kind of a way (lol). Take what I did for example, I went to two concerts, Glasgow and London. I entered the contest for Glasgow, I didn't win but after the winner was announced, I was free to enter the contest again for a later tour date, as far as I remember, so I could have entered again for the London contest, though I didn't bother but I could have... the only way that wouldn't work is if they decided to announce winners of multiple shows at the same time but they tend to only announce the winners the day before the show, so that shouldn't apply.

[Isla]

Thanks, it helped me a lot ;)

You're welcome :D

3 shows is good!!!! I've got 2 for the Can tour, can't wait!

[Verónica]

Congrats,have a great time :)

[hddismtt]

Congratulations! I'm so excited that the US tour is finally starting! I hope you get your favorite boy to lead the tour for you. If you have a favorite. :D

[bsb95]

Congrats!! :D

[Lulu]

3 shows is good!!!! I've got 2 for the Can tour, can't wait!

Three with the VIP thing is way beyond good! I'm going crazy right now!

[Lulu]

Congratulations! I'm so excited that the US tour is finally starting! I hope you get your favorite boy to lead the tour for you. If you have a favorite. :D

Oh...I do have a favourite. Actually I have two! AJ has been my boy since way back, and so was Kevin, but when Kevin left somehow Nick snuck in under the radar. LOL I'm so lucky to havve won I really don't mind who does the tour.

[Becster]

The VIP is the icing! Being here at your place is the filling!

*SMOOCH*

Almost time to go!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

[Vixen]

[NickzDenverGurl]

Congrats!!! :)

[Lulu]

The show was awesome, sound check was fun, the backstage tour was a hoot, and since I don't have my picture with the guys yet, I'll post my favourite one so far. The man is a giant, but so sweet!

Uh, no I won't. When I save the url from my photobucket acct there's no way to paste it into the little window that pops up when I click on the image icon above this window. Hmm....

[BedtimeDelicious]

The show was awesome, sound check was fun, the backstage tour was a hoot, and since I don't have my picture with the guys yet I'd show you my favourite picture so far but i'm not sure how. LOL

Aw glad to know you had a great time :D Out of curiousity who gave the backstage tour?

You can upload your picture at http://www.tinypic.com

Brian did the tour, and I have to say I was so impressed. I've never been a fan of his, but he was sweet, charming, funny, and interesting. I loved him! Plus he said he really liked Toronto. LOL It was also kinda cool that AJ kept dashing in and out of rooms as we were going by. Leigh had James at the sound check for a bit, with his big fat head phones on, but he was fussy so she left. Denise and Tony were there, as was Lauren for a bit. She's very pretty in person!

[Lulu]

Aha! There we go! Love this guy!

[CaRRiECc]

Glad you had fun! :D:D

[blewmymind]

Thanks for letting us know how it went! Glad you enjoyed it!

[Isla]

Thanks for letting us know how it went! Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes thanks for the info. and im glad it worked out for you :) it must be exciting to only find out a day or so before the show that you won, rather than knowing about it for months beforehand! nice photo too (is that Drew or Q? Im thinking Drew) :)

That's what I thought lol thanks (I figured I better check though, if I said otherwise I'd be told I'm wrong).

[nicks heartlight]

that's a great pic. i'm glad you had fun.

[ForeverFrick]

Aww glad you had fun!! Did you get a picture with Brian during the tour, too? He's my favorite, so thats who I would want giving the tour if I was doing platinum. Thanks for sharing how it went!

[ajsmusicgirl]

Sounds like you had fun.

[NickzDenverGurl]

Glad u had fun!! :)

[Itsmeyo]

why would you take a pic with the bodyguard?

[Emma]

why would you take a pic with the bodyguard?

If they are nice people why not?
I had my pic taken with Justin cos he was a sweetheart to us all tour:

[Itsmeyo]

To each their own. I know the bodyguards are nice and Justin is also nice, but still I don't get it.

[Karah-Leigh]

Well I guess I didn't win the Orlando soundcheck or anything. I haven't recieved anything. Probably went to someone who's already attended 5000 of them.

[tasteofyourkiss]

Well I guess I didn't win the Orlando soundcheck or anything. I haven't recieved anything. Probably went to someone who's already attended 5000 of them.

There's plenty of people who enter the contests. I'm sure just because you didn't win it's automatically gone to someone who's been to loads....

---

Side note: What were they asked in Miami?

[Emma]

if people have already won one they won't win again. If they have paid for soundcheck then yeah they have as much right to win as anyone else

[buttaflygirl03]

I have mixed feelings on people who may win gone to multiple times but at same time nothing you can do about it. People are gonna do whatever to see their fave person(s) as much as they can. You just got to hope that one day you'll get your chance too. I unfortunately haven't had a chance to meet any of them and probably never will but I just now go oh well if it's ever meant to be it will. If not oh well, will move on congratulate whomever that did.

Though hopefully people who already bought a platinum VIP to a show, I hope aren't entering the contest for the same show to whatever they already have VIP for. I mean I can see if trying to upgrade your VIP.

BTW congrats on person who won looks like you enjoyed the experience :)

[iwokeupinacar]

Well I guess I didn't win the Orlando soundcheck or anything. I haven't recieved anything. Probably went to someone who's already attended 5000 of them.

don't you hate that?! if someone has already attended or won, they should not enter. that's my personal feeling. if i ever went to a SC or anything, i would not enter. but BSB fans are hogs haha

[nickscdngirl]

thats awesome!!! CONGRATS :D
