The $1199 top tier is platinum seating in the front two rows that includes the same as the VIP tickets with the addition of a signed and framed event item, a personalised item signed and a selfie with van Damme as well as a one hour pre event party with the actor in attendance.

“The very special evening offers attendees an intimate and unique night of entertainment with the martial arts action icon who redefined the action genre in the ‘80s and ‘90s,” the ticketing website reads.

“The event will see the ‘Muscles from Brussels’ live in conversation on stage. During a 60 minute interview the actor will cover a range of topics from his rise to fame to his martial arts career with a focus on his early career classics such as Bloodsport and Kickboxer.”
