Star Wars Celebration Jedi Master VIP Ticket Review

What’s Included in the Jedi Master VIP?

Exactly what comes with the Jedi Master VIP badge for Star Wars Celebration London in 2023 has not yet been announced, but we already know what to expect from previous iterations of Celebration. For example, at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in 2022, the Jedi Master VIP pass cost $900 and was advertised as getting you the following perks:

Premier Access to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim

Half Hour Early Access to Exhibit Hall each day

Half Hour Early Access to the Official Celebration Store each day

Exclusive Celebration Store preview experience (times and additional details to be announced)

Jedi Master Express Checkout Lane at the Official Celebration Store

Unlimited use of the LIGHTSPEED Lane to enter the Official Celebration Store

LIGHTSPEED Lane Autograph Hall line pass and checkout for up to six (6) Autograph Sessions or Photo Ops. (Purchase of autograph or photo op required)

Priority Access* to all Panels on the Celebration Stage

*Priority Access allows Jedi Masters to enter the Celebration Stage prior to general attendees. There is no guaranteed reserved seating section for Jedi Masters, but you will have first choice of seats for each Panel on the Celebration Stage. To take advantage of this entitlement, all Jedi Masters must arrive to the Jedi Master queue at the Celebration Stage before a designated time (to be announced, typically 45 minutes prior to the start of each panel). Due to high demand for panels, we are unable to offer priority access for Jedi Masters to the Celebration Stage within 15 minutes of the scheduled panel start time.

Is the Jedi Master VIP Ticket Worth it?

If you can acquire a Jedi Master VIP ticket then consider yourself extremely lucky because they have a tendency to sell out in seconds. Celebration is known for being incredibly tough on your mind and body as it is a days long all-day event that must be prepared for. The Jedi Master VIP tickets are the solution to that problem as it allows for an incredible amount of time savings. But it’s not without its problems. In some ways, the VIP experience was amazing for the lucky 700 or so Star Wars fans who were able to purchase one, but in other ways, many were left feeling disappointed.

Cons of the Jedi Master VIP Ticket

I’ll start with the main issues that VIP ticket holders experienced. For starters, what was initially promised when the tickets were announced was not delivered on. Namely, there was no meet & greets with the celebrity guests and no signed art. Although Celebration is supposed to be making up for that by shipping prints in the future. Communication was also a persistent problem leading up to and throughout the convention as many attendees found it to be abysmal.

If there was a concierge service as was initially promised, it was not made clear how ticket holders should have taken advantage of it. Many were left with no idea how to contact the supposed concierge to take advantage of their offerings. To make matters worse, the staff was very inconsistent with the information they provided. In the future, it would be a big improvement to see Star Wars Celebration do better with guest communication.

Another problem was that the “lounge” that Celebration set up for VIPs was extremely limited. It consisted of a room with a few round tables, a “coat check” (really just a couple of tables and a coat rack), a table with coffee, a water cooler, and occasionally soda. It was about as bare bones as possible.

Finally, some areas didn’t seem to have any special consideration for VIPs such as the Mando experience. Many of the main ones did, however, and VIP badge holders were able to get guaranteed access to front-row seats.

Pros of the Jedi Master VIP Ticket

One of the first benefits Jedi Master VIP ticket holders experience is early access to the Star Wars Celebration Store. The store is notorious for long lines and sold-out items. However, those who had the good fortune of acquiring a Jedi Master VIP ticket were able to get all the exclusives that they wanted from the store. The early access perks also extended to panels, autographs, photo ops, and half-hour early entrance to the expo hall which is amazing and makes things very easy.

For many attendees, the time savings alone makes the Jedi Master VIP ticket worth it. Time savings come in handy, especially for those with health issues. Combining ADA accommodations with VIP benefits makes experiencing the con to its fullest extent possible for anyone.

You as a fan are able to help us improve event security, fan safety, and the overall happiness of everyone at or near Star Wars Celebration. While everyone attending Star Wars Celebration knows about costumes and props, the citizens of Chicago may be unaware of Star Wars Celebration and mistake prop weapons for real weaponry. If you have a weapon or prop that might intimidate or scare people, please be mindful of it as you carry it throughout the city streets and on public transit. If you have a weapon that might be misconstrued as a real weapon, please keep it concealed and do not carry it out in the open as you travel through Chicago. We would hate to cause unnecessary panic, upset, or unwarranted calls to 911. We really appreciate you being mindful of this and using common sense when it comes to props and costuming!
