Anyone know how to get ahold of a meet and greet pass? (merged)

[gauerke]

me and a friend of mine are wondering how the hell to get a meet and greet pass, he works at germain amp. and might be able to get me one, we just need to know how

[Charles]

From what I have been told the WH randomly selects a few members to meet with one or two of the band members for the day of the show for like a hour or two. you are allowed to invite one person too.

So If your a WH member just wait for a call.

[Shannon]

Ann comes into WH chat during the summer, that's how a lot of people I know get them.

Who is this Ann?

[Dave L]

Who is this Ann?

Yes, and where are mine and Charles passes?:lol:

[Charles]

I know right Dave? haha


anyways i was going to mention this earlier but didnt have time. I know 2 people that got upgraded from the WH.. they both had tickets to the lawn..Megan got a call from the WH letting her know to pick up her pass at the ticket booth when ariving for the show. This was for night 2 hartford 02 7-26-02 she was allowed 1 guest. I beleive that was the same day she meet Debbie From DMBRR.com and last year my friend Mike got upgraded with a meet and great pass from Rudy. Thought that was pretty cool. He took in his girl friend. I think she helped him get the upgrade. and this was at Hartford night 2 7-17-04

[yin_yang]

you gotta have connections to somebody high up in the venue, good way of getting some, i know people that have gotten them from there.

[gauerke]

well i did meet and talk to the guy that runs the frickin place!!!! maybe he'll remember me, he has my phone number and address, lets hope he thinks 'hm that one kid loved dmb, maybe i outta hook him up'

[Shannon]

Ann is someone who works for the WH. Occasionally, she comes into chat during tour time, and asks if people are liking the tour so far, stuff like that. But occasionally, she'll ask if anyone is going to a certain show. If no one answers, she leaves, which is what's happened the 3 or 4 times I've seen her. But, from what I hear, if people do answer, they'll get upgrades or meet and greets.

I've also heard of instances when people have gotten upgrades and meet and greets from Rudy Arias.

I tried sleeping with Boyd for back stage passes.....all I got was VD

If it brings a smile to your face....then my job is done!

agreed

[HLShivers]

Come on people...It's a joke! I thought it was funny....But then again, I need a mental evaluation.

[Charles]

yes it might be a joke But this is NOT thos "other" DMB boards.

[MikeyCarson]

yes it might be a joke But this is NOT thos "other" DMB boards.:confused:

This coming from the person who has Dave grabbing his balls as an Avatar...it was a joke :lol: nothing more, nothing less...I'm sure if Boyd read it he'd laugh.....It wasn't a dig at Boyd his name was simply the first to pop in my head I could have said Carter....I could have said Dave (oh the backlash I'd get if I said Dave...{I shutter to think} but it was Boyd {come to think of it...why the F am I defending myself}....as for those "other" boards....while this is my favorite....I don't find the "other" boards users to be so freaking sensative....

:thumbsup: Thank You HLShivers for the support...
at least someone has a sense of humor!

Hey Guys, Going to see Dave this summer ,and wanted to know how to find out what hotel Dave would be at so I could meet the band people please help

yea great site for people that want to meet the band.. I have meet a few members by getting there early and not even reconizing them.. Im sure if its only a one night gig they are not usuing hotels. and if its a 2 night gig usually they drive a little bit away from the stadium to get their privacy.

hehe:biggrin:

[HLShivers]

lol...Stalking is a no-no. I would say just getting to the venue early and hanging around is a better way. I know if I were famous people randomly showing up at the hotel I'm staying at would kinda freak me out. There are some weirdos out there....lol

[CrazyEazy]

I dont think asking about how to meet the band makes you a stalker.

[dancingcanas]

Thanks guys! Im no stalker and I certainly dont want to freak or bother Dave. Im just a greatful to have Dave as a friend.

A lot of people do the tour bus thing outside the hotel. I'm personally against this, but it is a way to increase the chances of meeting the guys by quite a bit.

[mydreamingtree]

lol! funny stuff

[Shannon]

You can just close your eyes and hope to get a dream where you meet them. It's easy, and you annoy no one.

[DavesSweetWorld]

i was just at the same hotel with them last weekend @ SPAC. we probably would have had a better chance of seeing them if they didn't have to do live 8 in philly. the closest i came without being a pest is i saw them leave friday night from across the parking lot. i waved but chose not to yell. they didn't see me! :feelbette sleeping under the same roof as dmb was enough for me. everybody in the hotel(staff) were going crazy trying to meet the band too. they say they tip well. it was exciting!!!!!!! :boings:

[gauerke]

i should hope they tip well lol

[Trippin_dreamgirl]

I did a search so hopefully I'm not a repeater...

How the heck do you get backstage passes? In the search I saw a poll that "they gave you backstage passes" was an option.

I'm pretty much praying like crazy until the moment I meet the band then I can say that I did my number 1 on my "do it before you die" list

i dont know how you get them. there are probably some contests.

this girl once entered for VIP/backstage passes or something for the 5/30/06 show and she won them, but they didnt send her an email until a day after the show! thats got to suck


ps i like your screenname

[Bryan]

backstage passes arnt what you think. its really just lounge passes which get you into a VIP area where they have drinks and somtimes finger foods, the band is not at all often back in the lounge...if you lucky one of them might be meeting a friend there.

all i can say is know people. thats how i got backstage, for free soda and the depressing conversation that the band had taken off. got to meet the crew though.

[greystreetkevin]

Well, friend of mine her cousin bartends for Dave Matthews Band in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It is called The Abby. Her cousin knows them and all she has to do is call him up and tell him that she needs 3 or so VIPS and she gets them. I might have one next year for Alpine Valley. So its ways like that. Or through contests.

A friend of mine got to go backstage at Riverbend and got to momentarily meet Boyd.

[tmcavoy2]

I've gotten "backstage passes" and was really disappointed. I got them from a guy who is part owner of the Tweeter Center here in MA. You dont get access to backstage at all. You get to stand in a roped off area near the back of the stage, but only while Dave was on stage. Really infringed on my concert-going, so i split.

[Trippin_dreamgirl]

Wow so sounds like it's not even worth it. I'm just wondering how so many people meet everyone...it seems like everyday there is another "OMG I met ____" post in here. :pissed: So jealous!

Anywho...I had a dream that I had front row center for the ATL show and after the show Carter came up and was like "Want a stick" so I of course took it. I then asked how to get backstage to meet everyone and he had their security come get me and bring me back. I woke up so damn giddy until I realized it was just a dream then I sulked around

Anybody happen to have any meet and greet passes they'd be willing to sell? It's a long shot but hey, thought I'd ask! :)

[bergs]

I am curious to know how you would get meet and greet tickets if it is just only threw radio stations and things of that nature.

[spbuchmeier06]

I've recently acquired meet and greet passes for 3 friends and I to meet the band after one of the nights at the Gorge. However at this point this is all I really know and was looking for some more information on what this experience will be like. Needless to say, we're all extremly excited to meet the band and are just kind of wondering what we're in for...

Does anyone know the format of a meet and greet?
Approximatly how many other people will be there?
The amount of time we'll get to chat with them?
Anything interesting we should prepare for?
Has anyone ever been to a meet and greet at the Gorge before?

Thanks for your input.

[cartersgrl]

First off, How in the WORLD did you "attain" a meet and greet?????!!!

I am sooooooooo jealous.
Have fun!!

what will it be like? one word amazing

Honestly, this is just one of those things where I think you should just let happen. There are so many variables invovled that I would plan on anything. Let it happen and it will just be amazing, I guarantee you that.

Agreed but sneak a camera with you for sure.

[TheDaveHimself]

Well.. not sure how a meet & greet with DMB work..

But when I had a meet & greet with Willy Nelson, all we did was:

Walk onto his tour bus
Smell alot of pot
Get a picture with him along with autograph
Basically say one or two things to him
And that was that.

Pretty incredible though. It will be amazing for you I'm sure.

[steve666]

I'll be at that show,, or actully the first night at the gorge,, will you be my new best friend:)

Just phoned a friend of mine, back in 2005 she won tickets to Z100's "Jingle Ball", which is a concert with a bunch of different bands playing for the holidays, with that she also won backstage passes which included 2 different meet and greets... from this she had learned that its done as they say, they tell you where to go, what you can and can not do, they ask you have anything you want signed out and ready, if you want picture must be quick so that others can get pictures taken too.. its not as fun as you may seem, but as far as meeting the aritsts its incredible and worth the whole routine in which you must abide by to stay in the meet and greet area.

[davesdiva]

I went to a meet n greet with Bush, No doubt and Goo Goo Dolls several (and I DO mean SEVERAL) years ago. We had to sit in a group until they were ready for us, and when they called us in, well, it was wierd. It was a dimly lit room that was lined with folding chairs and the middle of the floor was open (it reminded me of a middle school dance) and we all had to wait there for the band to come in. We had to have everything ready to be signed before hand, but we were able to take all the pics that we wanted. Once they got there, it was pretty much like a free for all. There wasn't really any organization to it, just jump in and start talking when you got the chance. It lasted about 45 minutes maybe. But it was a very casual experience (the band was trashed by the time they got back there with us) but they were cool with conversation and what not.

Man, you're gonna have a great frickin time! Good luck and you better show us your pics from it, too! :lol:

[gaia3441]

wow, you are really lucky, enjoy!

[sbdmb_fanatic]

dude! that is awesome.

just let it happen...

usually DMB meet and greets are done before the show, not after.

I would so ask them about next album:::::::

[spbuchmeier06]

Thanks for the input so far, Im surprised that no one has done this before? I'll definitly ask about the new album.

[gracisgone]

in the past two years I met dave twice and both times I was speachless. After the 1st time my friend and I said if we got a second chance we would do this and that and say this and than......well lucky for us we got a second chance last year in Chicago and we were speachless once again.. What usually happens is you meet someone at the will call window they will let you know who by email. Its before the show and it almost always is only Dave not the band. you can take pictures. He usually walks around and signs autographs and then you get to take a photo or two with him. Its pretty cool last year he talked to us for about 5 or 10 minutes. We we orginally set up to meet him at RR the year before but it was at the end of the tour and his voice was shot. So it got changed to Chicago 07
Have fun and just enjoy the moment .

How in the world did you meet him twice? Have you ever won the lottery?

and how in the world did you pull off three passes? gotta share these stories people so the rest of us can live vicarioulsy :biggrin:

[bryanmoody]

I'm jealous myself. New album questions are good but would probably result in little. If you asked him about Best of What's Around farm or environmental efforts, etc. you would probably get something interesting and extra out of Dave.

A college friend won a lunch with Dave through a radio station in Philly in '98. He said Dave talked about his doctor telling him to "eat more carrots", among other random things. Very rock star.

Haha, exactly. I'd just let Dave do all the talking, because he would most likely do that anyways. I wouldn't care. In between his ramblings, I'm sure he'd give something incredibly insightful.

[gracisgone]

No, I never have won the lottery. but i am pretty lucky. I always get what I wish for....hmmm maybe i should wish to win the lottery! The 1st time i met Dave was in Colorado. He walked in to a cafe I was having lunch in with a friend. He was with his personal trainer I think his name was Adam. We said hi he came over to the table shook our hands asked us how we like show the night before chatted for a bit about random stuff. drank about 5 double espresso's and then left. Butch was also there. Now he is really a cool guy. Do your home work find out where they are staying and be patient., not in there face. We couldn't belive it it was a blast.

[gracisgone]

when we met him in Chicago all he talked about was how much he loved George Clinton he was opening up for the band that night. there where about 20 other people there.

[theponderousman]

Gracisgone: OK, so from reading your posts, you've met Dave twice, rubbed Boyd's abs, met the whole band, have had 1st row center for all shows last year, been listening to DMB since you were 2 cause your mother listened to them, turned 40 within this past year, got a black pic from Dave last year in Dallas?

Impressive

[spbuchmeier06]

I didnt recieve the passes from the warehouse. Fortunatly, I have a friend that works out west within the music industry and he was able to get them for the four of us.

This trip has a very special meaning to all of us because we ordered tickets for the gorge show 2 days after my brother was killed. While traveling to florida for spring break (from wisconsin), a semi-tire came out of oncoming traffic and went through the windhsheild of the van they were traveling in. My brother, along with a classmate of mine, were both killed as a result of this neglegent trucking company.

Ironically, both boys were named Jason, and both of them were also huge dmb fans. All of us have been to every Alpine Valley show since the band started playing there, not to menetion several other regional dave shows (chicago, twin cities, etc.).

The four of us decided (a day after both J's left us) that in honor of the two of them and their passion for dmb, that we would make a trip to Dave's favorite venue, The Gorge.

The trip is now planned as well, we've rented a 24' rv for a week to tour the upper midwest concluding at the gorge with vip camping, pavilion seats for 2 of the 3 nights, and last but surely not least, meeting the members of Dave Matthews Band.

At 23 years old, I've been fortunate enough to travel the world some, however I think this trip will surely top them all. Starting this saturday, I'll see the band 5 times in the next 9 days, Alpine (2) & The Gorge (3), culminating everything with finally meeting dmb out west.

I know for sure that my brother helped in putting it all together. I just wish he was still here to say thank you too. In light of everything that has happened, Bartender will now forever be my favorite DMB song.

Thanks for reading.

LOL it's kinda like the way I approach a ketchup bottle.....tilt it over....wait for an hour.....shake it....wait.....smack it...wait.....shake the S**T out of it....scream......break the bottle open and take what I want.

OK, maybe it's not kinda like that, but hey, you get the idea :lol:

How do I attain one of these meet and greet backstage passes? If anybody has any information on that, please let me know! I'm going to the Berkeley, CA show in September at the Greek Theater, so I was just wondering how the fan club deals with it.

Thanks!

It's completely random. And from what I understand the WH doesn't really do meet and greets anymore. You've got a bigger chance of just running into one of the guys on the street.

Hmm I haven't heard that they have stopped the meet and greets. I have never been invited to one, but it's for warehouse members that have been around for a long time. I would say at least 5-6 years. Warehouse will contact you to meet Dave. I have also heard that the whole band doesn't show up, it's usually Dave and maybe Boyd or Stefan. You're in a fenced off area behind the venue, and that's about it

I think this is just a joke inside the warehouse. People are always joking around on the boards in the warehouse saying that the warehouse doesn't even offer meet and greets, because it's almost impossiable to get invited to one by the warehouse and that you have a better chance winning the lottery rather then getting a meet and greet through the warehouse...

I didn't mean imply that they never do them, but I think they are very rare now.

yeah I've seen several pictures of people with Dave during meet and greets. They did them a lot more a few years ago and seem to have slowly died down. I know for sure that the gorge is one that goes on every year still.

This will be my 8th year at the Gorge and I haven't figured out WHERE people are meeting Dave outside the gate? When and where is this happening? I would appreciate any info, it's pretty easy to get "lost" in the desert on DMB Weekend! Thank you!

Never been to the gorge so I have no clue, but every picture of a meet and greet I have seen has been outdoors.

Meeting Dave and going to a proper meet and greet are totally seperate things. People just get lucky that weekend at The Gorge and bump into Dave, or any of the guys around. Dave and Stefan go biking around the area, I believe they stopped in the campground and chatted with a few fans. I talked to Butch for a few minutes (about patio furniture... don't ask) last year when I bumped into him. Very gracious. As for "the gate" I think that is close to where the buses park in the "backstage" area, but I am getting that solely from the Gorge DVD from a few years back.

Yes, as for the Gorge look for people on mtn bikes. Last year dave was riding around and stopped to take a quick picture w/ my girlfriend.

they come into the warehouse and ask whose going to what show or if they are going to be going to the next show coming up. It is completely random. they set up the meet and greets at the warehouse days prior to a show. I've yet to be asked, but I'm in there randomly as well. they should do a few contests - that would be fun. I think finding the hotel bar would be a good bet ;)

hope this helps - cheers!
