Talking To Spirits With Ozzy

Sometimes a specific piece of artist merch comes along that’s so obvious that you gotta wonder why no one ever thought of it before. Like the Ozzy Osbourne Ouija board.

Yeah, we know what you’re thinking. You’re probably cursing all those times you had to use a common ordinary Ouija board for conversing with the departed. An Ozzy Ouija board is a no-brainer and should have come out years ago. What took them so long?

Actually, it’s not just a board but a game. “Ouija: The Ozzy Osbourne Edition” comes to you from Live Nation via a license from Hasbro, Inc.

The game comes with Ozzy’s lovable mug on the box along with the Prince Of Darkness’ official logo. But you’re not going to find this brilliantly conceived piece of merch in your local Toys “R” Us. The only way you can get your hands on “Ouija: The Ozzy Osbourne Edition” is to purchase a VIP package for one of the Prince of Darkness’ 2010-2011 U.S. tour dates.

What kinds of perks come with one of the VIP packages? That is other than the Ozzy-fied Ouija game? The Ozzy Osbourne Meet & Greet Package, limited to 30 tickets per show, includes premium seating within the first three rows of the stage, a meet & greet and personal photo with Ozzy, VIP access to the pre-concert party and various Ozzy-related items.

Another option, called the Ozzy Osbourne Possessed Party Package, includes pretty much everything the first package offers except for the meet & greet. Available to the first 200 buyers, the package includes seating within the first 10 rows, VIP access to the pre-concert party and plenty of merch items.
