hi Passion Pit community!
\
Caitlyn and Madeleine here (the rulers of this mini Universe) want your genuine input! We are diligently working here to define the tiers for all of you and as we bring this together we’d love your input when it comes to the tiers. What are things you’d love to get as a paid subscriber, and Founders…. what extra special perks do you think would be rad to get!?
We’ve got some amazing ideas already brewing…. but tell us what DO YOU WANT!

I believe I mentioned this to Caitlyn in DMs before, but the most extra special perk I can think of would be the option of either a meet-and-greet/VIP experience at an upcoming concert *OR* a 30 min casual video call with Michael just to say hi and chat about whatever!
Letting folks pick an option based on show proximity and/or ability to attend a concert seems really nice and accommodating!! There's a lot of neurodivergent folk in the community and often that doesn't mix with super loud places/large crowds.
As far as other perks in general, I do love the idea of song stems/instrumentals, behind-the-scenes tidbits into Michael's creative process...I can also second the idea of some kind of exclusive swag, it feels like it'd be really cool to have a unique t-shirt that you can only get by being a paid subscriber 😎
Customized and/or signed merch too...I'm recalling when Michael did those little custom drawings and messages on a set of vinyls around the time Kindred was released and those were hidden around or given away! Something like that also might be worthwhile!!
It's honestly almost so hard to think of stuff, because the community itself is such a big perk to the Substack, and whatever Michael feels like giving us feels like enough to me already 😂🖤
But maybe that'll help spark some ideas!!
I missed out on the top tier when it was cheaper, I'm now in on the basic tier. I'd be willing to save up but $705 is a phenomenal amount of money to drop. I guess, my only suggestion would be, that it truly is special to sign up to the highest tier. I can't specify how, I'm not sure, I'm also not sure how much energy can be spent on the highest tier alone without making the other tiers feel too left out. At a cost like that, it has to knock your socks off, though. I hope it isn't rude for me to say that, I don't mean it to be.
