Did a great job of taking care of securing our seats... Our seats at all shows were excellent. It could not have been made any easier... I did not have to stand in lines. I would recommend VME to anyone and certainly will use them again.

If you can't get to Sun & Stax this is a must see. If you can only see one thing in Memphis this is it.
