What Would You Like To See In The ILAA Gift Bag?

[ILAA Jeff]

What would you like to get in your gift bag form ILAA this summer? Always open for suggestions, ideas. Did this on the Journey forum last summer, got some good ideas.
Just don't ask me what they decide on, that has to be a surprise. But if you have suggestions, let's hear them....

I remember a few years ago I did the ILAA VIP for Def Leppard and got a t-shirt, poster, etc. I've also done Tesla VIP (it was the band's own VIP not ILAA) and it was an awesome experience, we got to see soundcheck (They played an instrumental version of Rock You Like A Hurricane! ), and meet the band, and got gift bag with a dvd, drumsticks, guitar picks and an autographed band photo.

So somewhere between the Def Leppard and Tesla experience would be cool (I don't expect Scorpions would allow fans to watch soundcheck or anything).

Thanks Jeff for taking your time to post & even ask what we would like to see...That's definitely the way to get things done right, at least the best you can. MUCH APPRECIATED! Hopefully I'll meet you at the VIP July 29!

I'm glad they'll be a shirt included. Everyone has to wear clothes to go out. Maybe a key chain, lots of people collect guitar picks & drumsticks. Haven't seen a Scorpions patch in a long time! A PATCH would be cool.. I've been collecting & sewing my Scorps & related patches on to my shorts.

The Tesla VIP was really cool & included:
some really nice 8x10 photos of the band (6 or 7)
tot bag
poster
dvd & cd
VIP laminate
maybe some other stuff too
watch the soundcheck was awesome....Frank Hannon played a bit of Dynamite! After they signed autographs & took photos with the fans.
Early entry

I have seen the Scorpions do soundcheck...one was by luck & the other was through the KLOS radio station & some FOSers from this forum. It was the Sept 15,2007 @ Gibson Amp, Universal City,CA. Here's a link to photos:

Still waiting for those Nor Cal/NV tour dates, Aug 1-5 are open.

Stay Strong,
Dion

Guitar or plec necklaces, definitely soundcheck, 8x10 glossies. Thx for asking Jeff.

[ILAA Jeff]

Thanks for your suggestions... I don't think the soundcheck will be an option. Most bands use this time to try new things they like to keep as a surprise. I will pass along your suggestions and await more.

It's never been a problem with Scorps before, from what I have been told.

I would like to see in the gift bag (Just ideas from a fan):

Scorpions sew on or iron on PATCH
Guitar Picks & Drumsticks
Keychain
Scorpions sweat wristbands
Definitely the SHIRT
Anything autographed by the band - poster, 8x10, cd, dvd, etc...
Scorpions lament strap w/logo
Button to commemorate the tour

Hopefully some other fans can come up with some more practical ideas. I really am thankful to get an opportunity to meet one of my favorite bands. I'm really looking forward to this!

Stay Strong,
Dion

Dion has some great ideas, the guitar picks and drum sticks are cool gifts to have in the goodie bag.
Here are some other ideas to put in.

Set list for that given show

SITT tour itinerary

Coffee mug or beer mug with Scorpions logo on it

Thermos with logo

A card or voucher to redeem that night’s show on CD or DVD, (or to download it)

Pen pencil set, lighter or anything that the logo can be put on.

Guitar picks that are commemorating the SITT world tour.

Put rare picks in like the red Matthias pick or the Scorpions yellow pick.

[killerwolf13]

You have some great ideas too Chris...made me think of something.

Scorpions logo on a Beer or Soda can coozie - the cooler thing you wrap around cans to keep them cold.

AC/DShe has a cool one. check it out:
Here's a picture:

Or at least this would be good ideas for Tour merchandise they could sell!

Stay Strong,
Dion

Great Idea Dion !!! I would buy several koozie's. I use them all the time.
They're very cheap to have them custom made.

I remember on U2's Achtung Baby tour I bought a condom...Also got a condom at a POE show.

Great ideas & links too! The fans are definite must for summer seated shows!

[thelovelykathleen1]

Hell Yeah I can see it now. The whole venue waiving their FANS in the air !!! Would look way cool on a video also seeing a sea of SCORPS FANS waiving their FANS around !!

How about a Scorpions (baseball) hat?

[berry]

i'll be at the Nashville show on july 10th & i can't wait
i've done 2 other VIP packages KISS & TESLA .
i think the best stuff from the KISS on was getting the pick set & the autographed tour book .
now TESLA really does it up soundcheck , 2 cd's , dvd , autographed photo & a tote bag .
if i had a choice on the SCORPIONS gift bag it would be an autographed tour book or photo ( or even an autographed set list or cd ) , a guitar pick set & drum sticks .
if i got those i would be thrilled !
if i had to pick one thing i would most want it would be a pick & drum stick set .
thanks for the consideration & keep rocking ....B

[guitarlover2010]

I wish we could meet to share drum playing.

[ILAA Jeff]

Thanks for all of your suggestions -- the gift bag items have been submitted to the band for approval. So you'll just have to wait and see come summertime. Lots of good ideas, thanks again. I think you'll all be happy.....

See you on the road

Jeff
