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.

OMG! That really fucking blows. I totally agree on the pointlessness of it all.

How hard would it be to have you added to the guest list for fuck sake? I managed that for Westlife on my own, without contacts...sheesh.

I don't think you're ungrateful at ALL. I seriously expected this to be backstage meetings, free merch, etc etc... Especially since it was in conjunction with MTV, so I'm pretty surprised that it's sort of bare bones? At least you're making the most of it!

:( I'm sorry. We can just hang out after the show and hope they come out to meet people. After all, it is their hometown. I'm just excited that my mom is letting me go! :D I can't wait to see you there!

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.

[hug]

I'm sorry.

That's fucked up.

I'd make a post on OCK perhaps. Maybe someone on there will see the irony of the situation.

Boourns on that. :\

I would be sort of crushed. You won a contest! It should be more than something I could stand in line and pay for. I wonder if the boys have been told anything about this. I think that they'd see it as a tad ridiculous as well. Plus, I remember being able to get backstage passes to the Backstreet Boys from my scholastic book orders. Would Fall Out Boy want to be beaten by the Backstreet Boys? I think Pete would rather stab himself.

You should drop by Connecticut and see me on your way home. I'll dress up like Patrick for you. :)
