Lame

Well, we definitely have pit tickets.

On the other hand, call me ungrateful, but I'm pretty disappointed that we don't even get the early entry tickets or any chance to meet the band. At all. Not even at the Meet & Greet.

What is the point of sending us all that way, even if it is in a nice hotel, if we only really get the same benefits as we would buying the tickets ourselves (which we seriously considered doing if we didn't win). I'm an Overcast Kid - I could have been entered for a Meet & Greet draw if I'd known.

It's actually kind of gutting. Especially considering the fact that there is now a competition - exclusively for US fans - to meet the band. How much hardship would it have been to just give us ten minutes or Meet & Greet passes?

Back when I was still getting girls' magazines and things, competitions would always be, "Go and see Boyzone - you'll meet the boys and get a free t-shirt and loads of signed stuff!"

:(

I don't think it's our contact's fault - she was really nice and is going to pass on our thanks to the band for picking us, but I can't help but feel a bit short changed after all the effort we made to get into the top ten.

That's such bullshit. The point of winning a contest is to get more than the average person who got tickets to see the show.

I'm sorry.

I can't even believe I'm going to say this but the boy's management needs to take a lesson from pop bands. When you when a contest for NSYNC, you freakin' meet them and got priority seating.

Not that you should do anything to "get stuff" but, for fuck's sake, it's a contest! You should at least get to meet them!

Thanks hon.

I mean - it's not that I don't appreciate the posh hotel and the fact they're flying us there at all, but it's a bit like giving someone a lift a hundred miles and then making them walk, ten from home.
