ChristmasFnatic Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 With the prices they charge for the VIP, there should atleast be a meet n' greet/pic taking with the big 3, or even just Slash and Duff. Aerosmith, you can have one with Steven and Joe, cheaper prices for Tom, Brad and Joey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 So let me get this right. If you purchase a VIP Meet & Greet ticket you don't actually get to meet Axl, Slash or Duff? You just made my decision not to purchase VIP Meet & Greet tickets a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a VIP "Meet & Greet" ticket....so yah. There are VIP packages, but none of them are entitled "meet & greet", nor do any of them if you read the description indicate any sort of "meet & greet". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have misunderstood the other post as suggesting the Big 3 don't participate in the Meet & Greets. Come to find out there are no Meet & Greets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's Live Nation controlled VIP tickets. It's basically their way of buying into the scalper market by offering fans with bigger wallets the opportunity to get premium seating and some extra perks while keeping the profits within Live Nation and out of the hands of scalpers. That's why you see the whole "VIP seating" option at almost any given show these days (and also the Platinum Seating on Ticketmaster's platform). It's not a fool proof method but that's why it's there. It's entirely dependent on the band whether they partake in any of the additional perks or not. As mentioned, absolutely nowhere with the VIP ticketing for Guns is it advertised or indicated that there will be a meet and greet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kula2006 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Paied Meet and Greets are bullshit anyway - know a lot of people who went to wwe tour, slipknot etc and all of them said that its not worth the money.. Another friend of mine is thinking about buying a VIP ticket for kiss next year - over 1000 euro and you can take a picture with gene. Would be interesting how much you guys would be willing to pay if there would be meet and greet tix (incl the big 3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nicklord Posted December 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2016 Meet & greet is the worst thing ever. I mean, you pay to your favorite artist to be with you like he is a prostitute or something 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolranchdressing! Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 OK, I'm pretty sure Duff and Slash did meet and greets while in VR... I'm not opposed to M&Gs...however, I personally feel like a MAN should pay me to meet me...lol... no seriously...I've met the band and it was an adventure to meet them and get invited to thier parites...if I had the chance I wouldn't pay to met them but I would definately waste a few hours *trying* to bump into them ... I have no qualms about bands selling M&Gs either...nowadays they gotta make $$ any way they can!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 They should just do meet and greets and sign stuff through the fanclub. Axl's done a few meet and greets, I think Slash had been doing meet and greets for people that wanted to buy guitars at the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 First of all, Axl has been on time for shows for a few years now. Second, he himself has said he does not like doing meet and greets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 They do do meet n greets, just not formally. We've seen many instances this tour of that, and including Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqleonardo Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think meet and greets are great, the KISS meet and greet is the best one ever, you can see a acoustic show before the big show, they play the songs the fans there are telling them to play, you get gifts, pics with them without make up, pics with make up, the guitar picks they used 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healy52003 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Payed €140 for meet and greet with Thin Lizzy in the Olympia Theatre Dublin a few years ago Got a shirt and guitar picks Got too sit in the VIP boxes for the show After the show we got invited into a bar where the band appeared for 20 mins and myself plus 20 others (every man for himself) got to chat to them. We all got moved on 20 mins later and that was the end of the evening Enjoyed it though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
