Phish
Bonnaroo VIP Tickets: $1,349.50 for two
Seeing a jam band in a dusty farm in Tennessee got a whole lot classier! VIPs attending the four-day Bonnaroo festival will get exclusive access to bleachers that provide great sightlines for the two biggest of its 10 stages. A pre-event dinner should stave off those early 'Roo munchies... and three VIP lounges could provide the connections to get them started again. VIPs get better camping spots and preferred parking but, most importantly special shower and restroom facilities — which, honestly, if you've been to a festival, is priceless.

Aerosmith
Wheels Up VIP Package: $1,099 - $1,349
Beyond the best seats in the house (usually in the first two rows), the most exclusive of Aerosmith's five VIP packages gets the lucky ticket buyer a meet-and-greet with the Formerly Toxic Twins, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Beyond attending an assuredly decadent pre-show party, VIPs take home a clusterbomb of Aerosmith merch, including a photobook, lanyard, laminate, tour pin, T-shirt, decal set, postcard set and a pen.

No Doubt
VIP Package: $2,000+ for four
Winning an eBay auction gets the winner four premium seats, four T-shirts, and a private meet-and-greet/photo snap with all the members of No Doubt. Why so pricey? Because 60 percent of the proceeds go to charity, including Doctors Without Borders, Children's Hospital Of Orange County and Charity: Water. Skank your way to making the world a better place!
