The following update has been issued via guitarist Steve Vai's official website:
"We have received many questions regarding the aftershow pass included inside one in four copies of the Sound Theories Vol. I & II limited edition digipak. We hope that the following information will answer some of our more frequently asked questions.
-- The aftershow pass does not grant you free admittance to the show. You must have a ticket.
-- The Aftershow pass is for ONE person to attend ONE aftershow meet and greet at any Vai concert in the USA. The pass does not allow you to bring a guest or guests.
-- Passes remain the property of Light Without Heat/Euphoria Inc. and can be revoked at any time.
-- Passes cannot be resold or auctioned on sites such as Ebay. Passes sold on Ebay will become void and purchaser will be denied entry into the aftershow.
-- Passes cannot be re-used.
-- The aftershow pass is NOT a backstage pass, and does not allow you any special privileges, backstage or dressing room access, or pre-show soundcheck access. It will ONLY allow you into the aftershow meet and greet at the end of the concert.
-- The Sound Theories aftershow pass is NOT an EVO Premium Experience pass. Please do not come to the show early and use it to try to get into the EVO Experience. You will be turned away.
-- After the concert, you will need to come to the front of the stage and show your pass to security. You will then be escorted to where the aftershow will take place. Your pass will need to be stamped or dated by a member of our touring management crew. DO NOT stick the pass to your clothing before we have written on it.
-- We reserve the right to cancel or cut short the aftershow meet and greet at any time, in the event that Steve is unwell; due to venue curfew; or band travel considerations. In the event that the aftershow is cancelled, you will be able to use these passes at a different show on the Sound Theories Tour.
-- We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone.
By using your Sound Theories aftershow pass to gain entry to the aftershow, you accept and are bound by these terms and conditions."
