Meet & Greets ?

Bubba Fleetwood · #1 07-13-2012, 09:29 AM

Has Stevie stopped meeting people backstage? To be honest, I haven't been to a concert in a few years ( always seems to be a money issue involved), but I haven't heard any stories or seen any pics in a long time. So, has Stevie stopped doing the Meet & Greets ?

not sure about that anymore, I would think only if they were giving it away as a contest on the radio station or TV station in the area she is performing in and haven't heard of any contests like that since 1998 Enchanted Tour they did it hear at the show radio station was broadcasting live at the concert grounds before the show.

She's definitely doing selective meets and greets; check out the Hershey thread for a link to pictures. And unlike some other musician (who shall remain nameless), she doesn't charge for the privilege.

But how do you find out about the selective meet & greets ahead of time? I'm gladly paying more for a guaranteed meet & greet with "another musician" and I suspect many Stevie fans would as well if it was offered.

It's probably done through some of the promotions like giveaways, raffles and auctions that come with a meet and greet. In that sense, they have been paid for, in one way or another. Although, I'm sure that a few charity organizations can arrange them for free if veterans or the disabled want to meet Stevie, something along those lines. I don't think regular people can have one though.

Here's one of the meet and greets with an auction that I saw:

agree. it's fair and square - you pay what is basically a symbolic amount and everybody gets a fair chance. no pre-selections.

I'd spend my life savings (which at the moment is.. not a lot) to meet Stevie.

.... I should probably reevaluate my priorities.

Thank for the tip. I saw the pics and Stevie is looking so good these days however, did you notice her expression did not change in any of the pics.....I found that amusing.

Seriously! Me too! You gotta wonder how these people get those VIP passes. I get so bummed when I go to a concert and see those passes. You would think after 30+ FM/SN/LB shows a die hard would get an opportunity, but it has yet to happen. I feel like it is something I have to do!

Most people backstage are close friends/family and radio contest winners

VIP passes are guests/friends of the band. I haven't seen radio contest winners backstage at a Stevie show in years. Even the people who pay for the meet and greet are ushered into a separate holding area and are far away from her dressing room.
