Yucko said:He's worked at Fleet for a while so he knows what he's doing. Considering he works at Fleey and has good connections I'm sure he'll get me something. Just don't know what though. He says this happens al the time when acts come through. I did n't even ask to be hooked up. He offered so he must know the right people.

U2
R.E.M.
The Clash
The Rolling Stones
Smashing Pumpkins
Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Blues Traveller/Neil Young
Grateful Dead
Metallica
Tragically Hip (more times than I can count)
and a slew of others.
The trick is (at least the trick used to be) "Where there is a will there is a way" - that and some good old fashioned luck. Try to look like you belong. In the case of Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Blues Traveller and Neil Young it was thanks to Daniel Lanois. Hopefully old Danny can come through this year??? Don't think I won't try.
Super_Fan said:I hate these types of threads. Backstage passes are for people that work for the band, friends of the band or the venue or Stagehands( yes stagehands that make fun of most people in the audience and on the trusts above the stage ). . A Meet N Greet pass does not county as backstage. Its an escort pass that allows you into a special room to meet the artist briefly for a few minutes speak to them and get an autograph and head back onto the concourse or to your seats. Anyways if there are passes its VIP and thats another way of just free food and limited access to special areas. A Real Backstage pass is a Tour Laminate with the other passes needed to go anywhere you want. I have had working satan passes and one laminate for the Foo Fighters (it was aa VIP laminate) for the MTV 2$Bill show.
