Al K Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi everyone - I'm told there was some confusion around contradicting statements made by the venue (imagine that!!) about whether there are any more tickets available that include both the concert and the Meet and Greet...well there ARE still some tickets left!! And this is the new and improved Meet and Greet, which will be held Saturday AFTERNOON. You'll receive an autographed 8X10 color concert photo from the first reunion shows last fall, you'll meet and greet the band and have your picture taken by our photographer. Then you're invited to STAY AND WATCH THE SOUND CHECK, which should last about an hour!!!This is a very cool opportunity - Get your tickets while they're still available. Due to time limitations the band can't sign items you bring to the Meet and Greet. Also because of time limitations there can only be a limited number of M & G tickets sold, so when they're gone...Thanks,Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 That is a great offer. Where or how do you get these M&G tickets? KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally G Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sound Check??? Yippee...but... how to get these tix? Not on Ticketmaster site or HOB AC site..Help, I need somebody, not just anybody...help, you know I need someone.. Bernieeeee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally G Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Someone told me to check the HOB site. They had 2 $100 tix Section 201 Rows A&B. Sounds like the seats are in different rows, not together. I bought them. I called HOB A.C. and they would not confirm what those tix entail. Told me to go to www.signatures.net. I did that and error, web page won't display. I called them back and told them and they still wouldn't confirm what $100 tix are, told me to go to www.raspberries.net. How do I find out what time m&g and soundcheck are? Go to HOB first thing in morning? We're arriving Friday nite...Thanks and All The Best,Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argee Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Are the extra tickets for M&G only or do they include seats? What if we already have seats? DO we have to buy more seats to get M&G? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 This sounds strange (i.e. typical HOB). The M&G tickets are $100 whereas balcony seating is $57? So the M&G premium is only $47? There is no indication on the hob website that the $100 tickets includes any perks. Great seat location, tho.I also noticed that today (Tuesday) they are offering 2 for 1 GA tickets: buy 1, get 1 free.Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 FYI,I haven't received any info on how any of this is going to work. I trust further details will be posted soon, but what about fans who bought Meet & Greet tickets that do NOT regularly visit this website? How will *they* know what to do? HoB has absolutely no information on their website, nor does any info accompany the MEET & GREET tickets. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally G Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Bernie,Thanks, appreciate your post. I realize we'll know when you know, and I thank you for that too.I luv Raspberries, but I hate HOB. I'll never see another show there.All The Best,Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally G Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Bernie,Sorry forgot to mention that someone pm'd me and told me that they bought similar seats a couple of weeks ago and that HOB confirmed that they were M&G. So at least I know I've got the right tix...All The Best,Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadie #3 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Just a heads up from the crew; Sound check is scheduled to be around 2:00 pm. I would assume that by Friday we will have everything in place regarding the time schedule. I would also assume that it will be posted on this site as well as the Raspberries.Net site. As for the HOB site, I wouldn't even want to assume anything. So those of you with the M & G tickets I guess we will see you Saturday afternoon. As yes, sound check is a really different experience. I know, I have been to them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally G Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Roadie #3,Thanks for the info, appreciate it lots! Very kind of you to try to help fill in the blanks for us...Soundcheck, yay! All The Best,Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'll be there the whole time... so, if someone misses their meet&greet, I'll be there if I'm needed later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Can you get SEPARATE meet and greet tickets? I have balcony seats that I bought day one, and they're really not bad seats, I wanna keep them... but if there's a separate meet and greet ticket, I'd get two... I'll even bring cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argee Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 We are in the same boat Julia. We have regular balcony seats and would like to get a seperate meet and greet ticket(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I just heard that an announcement explaining all of the details of the soundcheck/meet and greet will be posted sometime tonight or first thing in the morning.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally G Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thanks so much, Bernie. We'll be watching and waiting.All The Best,Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittie Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm interested in the meet and greet too. Already have balcony seats. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al K Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 To clarify - the $100.00 M&G tix anyone bought at HOB.com are the only way to get into the M & G. HOB totally runs the sale of these tix. HOB was (and still is) supposed to e-mail those who purchased tix with M & G details. The details I posted at the beginning of this thread are accurate. Here's some more details:I believe the soundcheck is at 2pm, so we're asking all M & Ger's to arrive at the club at about 12:30 (90 minutes prior to soundcheck). We'll get you organized for the M & G (give you a wristband, get you in line, etc.) which will begin about 1 hour prior to soundcheck (while Roadie #3 and co. are readying the stage for the band), or at about 1pm. You'll receive an autographed photo, get to meet and greet the band and have a photo taken by Gene. As with the NY M & G, the photos will be available about one week after the show in the "Meet and Greet" section of the "Raspberries" tab on EC.com.I hope this answers some of the questions and clears up some of the confusion.Thanks,Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thanks for the information, Al. Will it be the same in San Diego, and do the M&G ticketholders actually get to stay through the whole soundcheck?Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 So, once again, the people who bought tickets in the beginning are screwed. If they were only going to offer meet and greets with a $100.00 ticket, that should have been posted day one. I know this is the HOB, not the band, but this kind of constant "we don't know what the hell we're doing" excuse by HOB is getting old. They're keeping the band from making as much as they could on ticket sales, cuz if there were separate meet and greet tickets, a lot of us would buy them. I'm not going to buy two hundred dollar tickets in addition to the ones I have and *hope* I'll be able to sell the ones I have. Their policies suck.

aggiesjc Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 This does seem to be an unfair mess, once again. Why was this M&G announced so late? Bizarre and frustrating. No, I won't be there, but I feel frustrated for those caught in this predicament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 It IS frustrating. If they had posted day one that $100.00 tickets would include the meet and greet, a lot of us would have bought $100.00 tickets, but they just made it sound like "you'll get a better seat", and with stadium seating, we'll all be able to see the band pretty well, so the less expensive tickets were the way to go for some of us.Now, 3 friggin' days before the show we're told if we want the meet and greet we have to buy a $100.00 ticket if we don't have one. I think the LEAST they could do would be to offer to exchange the $57.00 tickets for the $100.00 ones as long as there are $100.00 ones available. I've been at yard sales that were more organized than HOB.Again, I know this isn't the fault of the band. I'm sure it frustrates them as much or more than it does us.

AnneG Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 How robust have the ticket sales been? Perhaps HOB has a ticket sale goal that must be reached before announcing the M&G tickets? Whatever their intent (max revenue..) it's grossly mismanaged.Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
