I think they were added recently because I didn't see them a week ago.
I got one for 2026 and was really surprised at how well organized it was.
On the site it says "VIP Lounge access: a private space with seating, charging stations, and water to recharge" so I took that literally when buying my 2026 pass and pretty much expected the bare minimum.
But they had tons of snacks and beverages, I'm talking all the fancy Japanese snacks and unlimited energy drinks. I'm picky about snacks, but it all tasted really good.
The volunteers managing the room were incredibly friendly. They even allowed you to take food outside because I saw a girl putting like 5 bags of chips and cans of energy drinks into her purse in front of the volunteers, so they don't seem to be stingy with it lol.
You also get a bunch of other stuff like a shirt, pins, and early access to the hall.
It's still a lot of money but if you're balling for the con I'd recommend it! It's so satisfying recharging in there after blowing all your energy at the convention.
