I've loaded up my Magic Eight Ball, and I'm ready to give my predictions for which films and TV shows should do well in the upcoming season of award shows. Getting recognition from the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, SAG, EMMY or Oscars always has a big effect on box office longevity and overall profitability, which is what the business called "Show" is all about. So, without the aid of any performance enhancing drugs, expert advice or even the admittedly favorable effect of having seen all of the various candidates, [...]

VIP Concierge is the top dog when it comes to fetching tickets to the best events across the nation. Our team of searchers beats the bushes to find the best passes to the best shows. In most cases, these tickets also include tickets to the after parties, which usually are even more memorable than the shows themselves because the pressure of the competition is over, and everybody just wants to let their hair down and have a good time. But, how do you decide which award show is right [...]

Well, that was certainly unexpected, wasn't it? Of course, nobody knew exactly what to expect for the 2019 Country Music Association annual CMA award show. Even if you tried, it's doubtful you could have imagined what was about to happen that evening in Nashville, TN, just a few minutes from the most music on one block in the world on Broadway from First to Second Avenue. That's where many of the fans probably ended up after the show, unless they bought passes to the afterparty from VIP Concierge. In looking [...]

The nice thing about having your own awards show is that you can decide what awards to give and what a person or group would have to do to earn said award. Some award shows are little more than excuses for a good party (heck, all of them are, in reality). And, toward that end, when a show needs a little kick to get started or to reach a higher gear, it can always add another category. Or, it can add style to the list of awards and have [...]

Now that that's settled. . . . It didn't seem fair that Taylor Swift was denied permission to perform a medley of her old hits during the 2019 American Music Awards. This is the same problem that started when the rights to her music were sold suddenly to a new company by her ex-agent. Nobody wants to be on the end of the constant harassment sure to rain down on anyone who causes problems for America's reigning pop diva. Anyone with even a nodding familiarity with Taylor's work know [...]

What's Happening At The Oscars: The After Parties Think quick. Where can you see all your favorite movie stars, directors, screenwriters, musicians, and even lowly comedians at the same place, at the very same time?  Well, in all honesty, the answer is probably nowhere. However, you can get pretty close by hitting two or three Oscar parties in February.  Stars are just like everybody else, except they're adored and revered and exalted and cheered (that rhyme was too obvious to ignore, sorry).  But even though they're treated like royalty, [...]

Who's Hotter: CMAs or AMAs If you're a country music fan - I mean a real country music fan - then you know how special November is. If you don't know why that month is special, if you don't know what I am implying, then you're not a real fan.  That because everybody who IS a true country music fan knows that in November two award shows go down 11 days and 2,000 miles apart.  In fact, I have a calendar that only has one page--November, and only 2 [...]

Getting Into Red-Hot Red Carpet Events Isn't as Hard as You Think There’s a common misconception that you need to be a celebrity in order to get into red carpet events such as the Golden Globe Parites .But did you know that you can attend these super-exclusive events? That’s right! All you need to get in is a ticket, and here at VIP Concierge, we know exactly how to get that for you. We’ve supplied thousands of tickets to exclusive events such as the VMA’s, film premieres, the Country [...]

The Difference Between the American Music Awards and Americana Everybody already knows what the American Music Awards (AMA) show is so the easiest way to explain the difference between the AMAs and Americana is to tell you about Americana.  No, it's not the annual Dick Clark Productions spectacle honoring all types of music that is going to be held at the Microsoft Theater in lovely semi-tropical Los Angeles (which has a better climate than NYC--especially in fall) on Sunday, November 24. That's not the AMA, that's different.  The AMA [...]
