Guitarist STEVE VAI has issued the following update:

"Hello Vai Fans in South America!

We are planning on holding the EVO Premium Experience at all shows on the South American tour, however we are requiring people who would like to take part in EVO to "pre-register"for these packages.

EVO Premium Experience packages are highly limited to 20 per show. In some cities, we will offer an extra 5-10 EVO packages as Upgrades – meaning that these passes DO NOT include show tickets. You MUST buy regular tickets to the show separately from EVO Upgrade passes.

EVO Pre-registration allows us to estimate fan interest in taking part in EVO, and make arrangements to hold EVO at each show. By pre-registering, you are not obliged to purchase EVO Premium Experience packages, however we encourage people not to pre-register if they do not plan on buying the packages.

Prices for EVO tickets in South America are:

- $225 USD (plus a $12 USD booking fee) for EVO Premium Experience packages
- $192 USD (plus a $10 USD booking fee) for EVO Upgrade packages (you MUST buy your own ticket to the show.)

For information about the EVO Premium Experience package visit the following pages:

- EVO Experience information in English
- EVO Experience information in Spanish
- EVO Experience information in Portuguese

Please note that the information on the pages above applies to EVO Premium Experience packages. EVO Upgrade packages receive the same items and benefits but MUST buy their own ticket to the show. If you buy an EVO Upgrade package without having a ticket, you will not be let into the show.

If you have friends who do not visit Vai.com regularly, but would also like to buy EVO Premium Experience tickets, please tell your friends!
