GlamGorgeousGG 220 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Some info from my show: When you check in you put your name, email, and a description of yourself so they know who is in the photo at the end. They said the email you photos in about a week. She came out and spoke with us for about 15 minutes or so, and she was just so amazing and honest. They were super strict about no camera / phones. They said you would leave w/o your photo if you took a photo of her during this time. For the meet and greet we just formed our own line. Everything went smoothly. For me I went in and the photo is taken, then I handed her something to autograph. Some people brought in more than 1 item, but I don't know if she did sign more than one thing or not. She asked for my name to personalize it. Then I talked very briefly as I was walking away. I did feel rushed to be honest. I was near the end. There were about 8 other people left after me. Her dad was there in the ARTPOP Zone and some people got photos, but we mainly left him alone. The seats are numbered and it's 2 people per bench, but once the show started no one used them. You get an actual ticket w/ your wristband that does have the seat # on it. She did let someone from our section sit next to her on the piano during Born This Way. She did invite someone from the audience backstage and told him/her to bring their friends with them. I will write more tomorrow as I think of it. Put any questions in here if you have any.

Wow thank you for posting your story :) A few questions: 1) Do they take your phones away from you or do you just have to keep it in your pocket? 2) Was the order of having the picture taken and having the personal conversation the same order as the seats? I have seat #1, so would I be first in line, or is it at random? 3) How "personal" were your words with her? Was it just you two alone in a room, were there other people there? Basically describe the setting of the backstage area if you can. 4) How was your view during the concert? Could you see the main stage clearly?

GlamGorgeousGG 220 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wow thank you for posting your story :) A few questions: 1) Do they take your phones away from you or do you just have to keep it in your pocket? We got told twice about it and then right before she came out her bodyguard made sure to tell us and scan around. Once she came out she had 2 bodyguards with her. One in front and one behind. Everyone was moved in front of her. It was a small room, and I lucked out that she sat down about 3 feet from me. 2) Was the order of having the picture taken and having the personal conversation the same order as the seats? I have seat #1, so would I be first in line, or is it at random? They asked for a volunteer to go first and surprisingly only one person put her hand up and then a line just casually formed. 3) How "personal" were your words with her? Was it just you two alone in a room, were there other people there? Basically describe the setting of the backstage area if you can. There is her, at least 2 bodyguards, the photographer, and at least 1 assistant. It was a small room cut in half by a curtain. I was thinking I didn't feel comfortable with others hearing me, but surprisingly you couldn't really hear. Just say what you feel. I'm sure the people who work with her have heard it all. 4) How was your view during the concert? Could you see the main stage clearly? Awesome at times but a lot harder than I would've expected when I got tickets. There is a bottleneck at the front of the zone and I squished in there but when she went to the piano you couldn't see her unless you whipped around. When she is on the main stage it was the hardest to see and mostly you see her top half. It was hard to see Hatsune for the same reason. If you're taller you may not have these issues. I'm 5 ft 2 inches. Standing on the seats not allowed. Someone tried once. Even though seating was not as good, the time backstage and the times you can see her on the catwalk walking towards you, etc are worth the price.

GlamGorgeousGG 220 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Did you get to sit in a lounge and have drinks with her? Yes Most of us were standing. She came in and walked to the bar and asked us if she should order Vodka. She did sit down and sipped her drink as she talked. You got one more drink ticket to use backstage after the show.

GlamGorgeousGG 220 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 same questions basically. :) and did you get to buy merch before the show, i would love to get a poster signed. After signing in and getting tickets, you're taking to the hospitality area with the food. You're free to roam so you can go off to the merch stand. It's also up to you when you want to actual go into the concert. I made it right before Hatsune went on which was around 7:30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
