Many events sell more expensive “VIP” (very important person) tickets. The tickets might offer advantages such as better seating or a pass backstage.
 
An observation was posted on Reddit—Shower Thoughts on September 27, 2018:
 
“If you have to purchase a VIP ticket for an event you probably aren’t an actual VIP.”
 
That is, a real VIP would get free tickets.
