Q&A for How to Meet Band Members at a Concert

If you want to meet the band at a concert, it's best to buy either a VIP pass or a Meet and Greet pass. Sometimes you can buy them through the website where you purchase your tickets, but sometimes it has to be through either the management or the band itself. Sometimes you can even just email the band's management and ask nicely and they'll give them to you.

First of all, I hope you can get that transplant as soon as possible! As for meeting the band, I would suggest contacting the band through their official website and making your case. You could also check into local or national charities that grant cancer patients such wishes.

It would probably say so on the tickets if it did. If it's a smaller venue and a lesser known band or artist, it's possible.

You could always wait outside for the band/artist you want to meet. You'll have to try to avoid security and figure out where they'll exit, though.

This would be a great idea. Nowadays bands, celebrities, etc. post updates about where they're going and what they're doing. If you know who their manager is and/or what record label they are signed to, follow them as well.

The front is better because the celebrity hasn't met anyone yet. So they should be more happy to see you.

Try giving the gift to the band preforming before them (if there is one), and see if they would get it to them for you.

Normally only the V.I.Ps have access to that area and the guards will kick everyone else out. It's possible if you beg them enough they will let you hang around. It happened to a friend of mine.

Some festivals, like the Warped Tour or Download Festival, have free signings or meet and greet opportunities. Sometimes there are also paid-VIP options. At any of these, you might be able to get an autograph.

Yes, V.I.P. passes include a "meet and greet" session.

Station a person at each exit and supply everyone with walkie-talkies. Whoever spots the celebrity can quickly communicate the location to everyone else.

It all depends on how many people are at the meet and greet, and how much time has been agreed to by the artist.

This is less than likely to happen, but if you have someone even a little bit famous in the family, make them ask if you could meet your fave band.

Well, if they're too busy, you just won't get to meet them.

Do it as you would any other celebrity. Follow the tips in the article, and you'll have a chance.

If they ignore you, they probably don't want to meet anyone. Please give them their space.

Some VIP tickets might have an option to meet bands before the show. You should arrive at a concert early anyway, so it's always a slight possibility but it is more likely they'd schedule meet-ups in advance, so they can fit it into their busy schedules.

You can get paid VIP tickets that include a meet-and-greet. Sometimes, the guards will even let a couple of people wait backstage without a VIP ticket but don't rely on that.

Try waiting at a stage door or if it’s a lesser known artist talk to their guards about a chance to meet the singer. Keep your eyes out around the area their preforming, you may catch them in a store!

An autograph is the signature and possibly a short message from a celebrity, famous or important person, or even your friends. "Autograph books" were a favorite among schoolmates from at least the late 1890s. They were still used up through the 1960s for signing, especially at the end of a school year.
