pre-show party passes come from jimmy, the band & staff. meet and greet invitations come from jimmy. only authorized personnel are allowed backstage during a show. jimmy considers the stage his office and he's working.

I've been backstage pre-show several times, but not since 2005. Forget about meeting Jimmy, I never even saw him.

I've only known two people to get back stage AND meet him. One was a contest winner and the other was very good friends with someone in the band.

On my trip backstage, I got to meet almost everyone in the band (except Jimmy) pre-show, but they were pretty restrictive about where you could go and what you could do after the official "Meet-and-Greet" was over.
