If you are a music lover, you love going to concerts and you really want to know how to meet a band so you can take some photos with them, get autographs or even have a little chat with them?
Well, you are reading the correct article.
In fact, you can find different ways to meet your favorite rock stars. It’s absolutely not an impossible thing to do, however your success rate will depend on how famous the gang is and how smart you do it.
So what you are going to read here are the “traditional” ways you can do to meet a band at a music concert. Basically, you’ll need more “luck” to make them work. But hey, “luck” is when preparation meets opportunity, right?
In fact, you can find alternative ways to do this, but more on that later. I recommend that you first read the tips here and put them into practice:
1. Wait for the band at the airport
Before the band members and their concert crew arrive, the usual way to meet them is to wait at the airport. Often you will be able to meet them at the airport the day before the concert. But in some cases, like when they have to do some promos, they can also arrive at the airport several days before. Therefore, always stay informed about their concerts by visiting the official website, as well as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc. band for more information.
Many times the band members will be happy to see the fans and will stop for a while to sign things or even take some photos if possible. However, of course, they will not be able to stop and chat for long, as they need to rest and prepare for the show.
2. Find where your hotel is
You can do this without acting like a stalker. Stalking is a no-no.
The way to do this is to go to the hotel they are staying at and wait outside. Many stupid and crazy fans just walk into the hotel and chase their idols, so don’t ever do that!
Since it’s often a secret about the hotel where a band will stay, you’d better check the most popular 5-star hotel closest to the concert venue. If you really want to meet them, go there and wait hours before or after the show. Remember to act normal, instead of acting like a stalker.
3. the concert hall
You can meet a band at the airport, hotel, and the concert hall.
The fans usually wait for the band members to come out and sign things after the show is over. But remember that most of the time, they take hours to leave and therefore you have to leave the place very late. What you really need here is patience.
Another tip, to do this is to find out where your tour bus is and wait there. If a security person tells you not to wait because the gang is never coming out, don’t trust him. Remember you get paid for it, so chances are you’re just trying to do your job.
