Rock in Rio's VIP area is described as a "parallel universe" reserved for the privileged few who gain access to the festival's most coveted space. The article draws a parallel between the experience of those who endure the grass field, balancing drinks and sandwiches in the middle of the crowd, and the luxurious life of those in the VIP area.
Until a few years ago, access was restricted to promoter Carol Sampaio's guests, who maintained an exclusive guest list. Currently, anyone can purchase a VIP ticket for R$3,300 for one day of the festival.
The area features 6,250 m² of structure that transforms the festival marathon into an experience with air conditioning, premium open bar, and fine dining. Among the mentioned perks are luxurious freebies and even pudding with gold leaf.
The major differentiator of the structure is the giant balcony, which offers a privileged front-row view of the Palco Mundo stage, as well as a good view of the Palco Sunset stage. The article suggests this is the dream experience for anyone who has endured mishaps in the general audience area of the festival.
