A Le Ciel member has helpfully confirmed, on another forum, that presale tickets, VIP or otherwise, have nothing to do with Le Ciel membership, first, because members got no such announcement, and second, because of the most helpful description for the Paris site, here:
https://tickets.neotokyo.de/?lang=en

I suspect the reference to fan club members was just a mistaken reference to those of us fans registered on the mailing list for this event.

In that link above, for Paris, https://tickets.neotokyo.de/?lang=en, and in the upper right of the London ticketing page, where it says, "Please Note," and you can click on "See More," you can see exactly what VIP tickets include, which appears to include separate entry. It *is* a nice package! But, gah, $200? for one or for two tickets??

P.S. ~ I'm a little confused, myself, about the concept of buying the ticket being separate from the VIP purchase. Short of a miracle, I haven't plans for Paris, yet, so I haven't bought. Wondering in anticipation of NYC. Can someone else clarify how that works?
