Charleston makes us swear not to tell...rich_big wrote:does anyone know if JB does backstage passes? not go to the dressingroom kind of thing, but a hospality area pass kind of thing? I know a lot of people make fake backstage passes and wear them as a trinket at the show, but does he have a hospiality area and a meet and greet or anything? anyone been? any stories? please do share....

again.. Charleston swore us to secrecy...rich_big wrote:I am not in any way saying I want to do any dirty tricks like that. just want to know if they have passes for meet and greet, or hospitality kind of thing. not working crew, not band, just like VIP kind of thing....

uh I can tell you.. that if you get caughtThe Grim Reefer wrote:If you knew someone on the inside that could get access to what backstage passes look like a day or two in advance, you could easily make a convincing duplicate and sneak in. Every concert passes out more backstage passes than get redeemed (I know from personal experience), so unless the odd occurrence of every single pass getting redeemed occurs, you'd probably be in the clear.
The tough part would be knowing 1) where to go, 2) what time to show up and 3) the code word. Most tours use a single backstage pass for every show, but have a secret word for each show they write with Sharpie on the validated passes, so that they know which pass is for which show, and to keep someone with a pass from selling it to others for future dates.
But, it could be done. Depends on how bad you want it and the risk you are willing to take. If you got caught, more than likely they'd just escort you to your seat (if you're a smooth talker or are really pretty, you might be able to get in backstage anyway). Worse case scenario, obviously, is getting kicked out of the venue before the show starts. Then you'd be double-screwed.

You are exactly right Larry, I have been backstage at 2 of Jimmy's shows and 2 other artist shows and none of them were handled as above statedLIPH wrote:None of what you describe is how Jimmy's crew does it.The Grim Reefer wrote:If you knew someone on the inside that could get access to what backstage passes look like a day or two in advance, you could easily make a convincing duplicate and sneak in.

Just putting in my two cents of how it's done where I have worked. Guess I should've kept my mouth shut.LIPH wrote:I've been backstage at 4 of Jimmy's shows and that's not even close to the procedure.

Heather and Louisa came off stage for a quick costume change. They don't bother to go into dressing rooms....
