Mixed feelings i suppose.
As you've pointed out.
Sure shopping with them sure is exclusive.
But the fans had much more/better interaction with the girls (Autographs/Pictures/video).
I mean for the 7 of us Diadem Staffers inside, it was a bit of mixed feelings, but most would agree due to the exclusive footage, the overall end result wasn't as worth it. It is to most others since only we got the pictures/footage, but to us definitely not and {not saying it to brag here} we definitely deserved better than what we got.
