Gene Simmons — and his face-painted band Kiss — then the rocker stands by charging $12,495 to be his personal assistant and band roadie for a day.That’s the cost of “The Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience” — a pricey package that is being offered to one fan per show on his solo tour, which kicks off in May after he postponed multiple April dates until 2026.Simmons, 75, is giving fans a chance to roll with him and his namesake band for the day, from planning the show-day schedule and loading into the venue to sitting in on soundcheck and hanging out backstage.For the extravagant sum, you’ll also get to have a meal with Simmons and rock with him on the stage while getting all sorts of memorabilia from your day on the job.“When I was a kid and went to see shows, I was always curious, ‘What’s it like when they’re in a hotel? What’s it like when the stage is set up? What’s it like being onstage when they’re performing and seeing the audience from the stage?’ ” Simmons exclusively told The Post.“I decided, ‘You know what, nobody’s ever done it. Why not open the idea to be my personal roadie for the day?’ ”For Simmons, it’s a dream experience that is worth it for the most diehard Kiss Army members — no matter what the price tag.
