kerrie Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Sweetness.Why do you have to buy 4 tickets for a M&G? For me we always buy 2 tickets for anything x.x My guess? Because the band wants to sell lots of tickets in advance. That proves their drawing power to the venues that they're playing. Smart, is it FBR thats running this M&G? It wasn't Paramore's choice was it? Sorry if I didn't read this stuff earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanne Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 so basically if you didnt prebuy a meet & greet ticket there is no way of meeting them? ughh =[ im trying to talk my parents into bringing me to the CT show bc the M&G isnt sold out yet or the presale tickets.. i really need to go =[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it sells tickets in advance, which is what Paramore wants to do if they want to keep headlining. My guess is that the success of this tour is very important to them - it proves their drawing power as a headlining band if it's successful.

Since they're headlining this tour, my guess is that they'll have less time to do that stuff and the meet & greets will be the primary way for fans to hang with them. That doesn't necessarily mean you won't still be able to find them outside the venue or meet them somewhere else, but I think it'll be less common than it was in the past. Just my thoughts on it though...I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i just Got RI ones thank god they worked. Maybe the Boston one is sold out and they just haven't changed the main page of the site yet... Seems like the meet and greets are selling pretty fast, especially for the shows up north where they seem to have the biggest fan base. I wonder how many meet and greets they're selling for each show...my guess is 40-80 tickets or so... Quick question for you guys - how did you all find out about the meet and greets? Some folks have mentioned that they got an email, but I never got that...and I know I'm on the Paramore email list. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThePressure25 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 so i realized theres 2 links for the shows that have meet and greet tickets. for the one at axis, theres links for show tickets and M&G tickets. so i clicked on the M&G ones and it says there isnt 4 available, but theres 2... which i dont think would count cause it says you have to get 4 anyways. so im pretty confused with the whole thing and frustrated if their sold out. the 2nd closest is in CT and its a 2 and a half hour drive, i already mapquested it =/ so pretty much, to make a long story short. i dont know what to do.

I'd call the folks running the ticket sales (there's a phone # somewhere on the presale site - I saw it) or email them and ask if you just buy the 2 tickets if you'll still get the meet and greet info and tickets.

thebrowncoat Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 ^I think that Long Island show will eventually show up on the presale thing.

So, you'll get 4 tickets to the meet & greet and 4 tickets to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they may very well still do that on this headlining tour as well...no one knows for sure. I guess the meet & greet is a way to make sure you get to hang with them for a little bit.

thebrowncoat Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 ^LOL. I bought 4 tickets for the MD show and I only needed 1 I'm hoping I can find someone interested in the other 3, but if I can't, oh well...it's supporting the band... Buy your 4 tickets from the VIP Meet & Greet link for the show you want to go to...you'll either be able to choose to get the tix mailed to you or you'll have to pick them up at will call, depending on the show. The tickets will get you into the concert; they're going to email the people who buy the VIP Meet & Greet tickets a week or two before the show with info on when and where the meet & greet will take place, how to get in, etc...
