Anyone met the guys after the show?

Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 4:15 PM By: Alex

I was curious if they do come around after their shows to greet fans... and any 'particular' places?
I'm goin to a show in a bit, and was just curious if anyone sorta knew.

They must just LOVE fans like me.... and then hate them later when they actually show up to their shows…

    Ive met them b4 the show b4, they are awesome and so personable and friendly,, just down to earth real people,, no stuck up big heads there!

    I've been trying to turn in all my precious points from here for a VIP meet after the show (or before) for the Brat Stop event April 2nd....

    It would be so awesome and only take up 5 mins of their time! I hope it happens!!! Im bringin lots of friends to this event! Its like 20 mins from my house! And a small venue,, so it will rock! (As usual)

    I figured since I have the most points on here, and always have,, maybe it would be a reallyyyy nice gift!

    Ha! We shall see!

    i am hoping to meet them in toronto tomorrow... but who knows
    its funny now you can go thru ticketmaster and get meet and greet tickets for that show - yet a month ago i bought them the day they went on sale and there was no meet and greet option.
    weird how the fans get screwed over - let alone being a member of this page and the Jet street team also - you would think that the actual fans would hear about this stuff.

    i decided to buy 2 more tickets for tomorrows show with the meet and greet option - but of course now ticketmaster wants a password..... my question - what the hell is the password!! i do anything and everything to follow and support this band - yet it seems too many times its the people who dont care that much that actually get to meet them
    it's called presenting

    Yeah I got those meet & greet tickets for the Starland show last night (the password was "JKL" by the way, there was a link on Jimmy Kimmel Live's youtube page that led you to the password) but something got fucked up and I never got the email I was supposed to telling me when the meet & greet was. I felt kinda gypped because I already had tickets from presale and bought an additional pair so I could get the meet & greet. I ended up meeting and talking to their tour manager, who is the nicest, most amazing guy. He talked with the band, who let me and my friend come up and hang out with them after the show instead. It was ridiculous, the best two hours of my life. I got to talk with the guys (Crash Kings were up there too), take pictures, get autographs, and just hang out. They even recognized us from being in the front row! The guys were extremely accommodating and incredibly cool and even joked that we ended up getting a better deal through the "Jimmy Kimmel Package" than we'd originally bought. They said that since it was kind of a last second thing and because it was so close to the start of the tour that it just got all messed up and it wasn't supposed to happen that way. But I'm still pinching myself, last night was crazy and totally beyond anything I could've ever imagined!

    Ok, now I'm jealous :)
    Of course, I was the one that started the topic, haha.
    Nah, it's cool. I've always heard they're just really real, down to earth, pretty regular guys. And it totally seems like it too. Just sorta doin a job... a damn good one at that.

    Followed their tour bus down the highway for an hour after their show in Amarillo last October. Got my Dirty Sweet Vinyl EP autographed. Met them Tuesday (3/16) after the show in Baton Rouge, am going to post pics and the whole big shebang story later. Have they taken away our ability to add fan photos to this site? Can't find a link to post them.

    Guess I'll have to facebook 'em. :\

    I don't know how you guys get the chance or the courage up to meet them. Number 1 I would be to nervous and Number 2 I wouldn't even know how to go about getting to meet them. I have never really been into a band that much before that I would even like to meet them, but with Jet it would be great and I would like to but at the same time, I just don't know. I am a chicken when it comes to this sort of thing. But in real life I know I can talk to anyone from any walk of life, as my life and work have demanded that of me. But when it comes to something like this I just don't know what to do. I am a hopeless case. Plus I think they recognised me when I went to their last 3 shows in Syd, Melb and then Melb BDO, why can't I just blend in damn it! Sydney was fine but after that, I looked like a crazy person and they saw (so embarassed) I was almost at colapsing point at the melb concert (the girl next to me thought I was swooning over the band, if only it had been that, but I don't do swooning) and unfortunately they recognised me (I think. How embarassing). Then at Melb BDO, I was in the middle of a migraine (not a huge one just bad enough that I was in some decent pain, and over heating) I kept trying to get my hair out of the way and up with out it pulling on my head (as that makes the pain worse). All I really wanted to do was pour my bottle of water over me to cool me down, but I thought that would look really bad. And I am not that girl, I am laughing as I am writing this as it is so funny in retrospect ha ha ha. Just call me Calamity Jane . But I think they saw that and might have gotten the wrong idea .I don't flirt, well hardly ever, and if I do I mustn't be very good at it hello single (my sad attempt at flirting ha ha ha). Any way if I had the chance I think I would be to embarassed to meet them now. Man my life suck sometimes. Just Enjoy the Music thats what it is all about. Calamity Fee, Bye 4 now. Bye the way I love that movie (Calmaity Jane).
    Enjoy the simple things in life.

    Hey don't worry, I'm in the same boat as you, Fiona. I only 'met' Nic by chance... I'd hardly call it meeting. I got a picture and shook his hand, cause I promised myself that I'd be polite if I ever asked anyone who is busy enough to do anything for me, no matter how easy it might seem to the recipient. I sort of thought I might see em around, but I certainly did not want to be the girl hovering around the tour bus. I just don't like that approach, and didn't want them to remember me (if they cared to) like that. I don't need to be stuck in someones head for stupid reasons. And besides, it was some time during that encounter that I said something really stupid. The car they were driving, a really nice rental I'll for sure admit, and I pointed it out. After I realized it was a reaction to nervousness, although at least I wasn't shaking :) Oh well, at least I was telling the truth! It was a nice car that I've liked before I saw it right there!

    I know it should be easy and fine to just want to meet someone but I have never really wanted to meet anyone before where I had to go to some effort and ask if I could get a chance to meet them (now is that a dodgy secentance or what but you know what I mean). It kind of makes me feel like a stalker and I hate that feeling. Plus I am really shy in my personal life, which is a real pain in the ass. But maybe next time I will make the effort if I have a friend with me for moral support. Calamity fee. I think I might have to watch that movie again soon (Calamity Jane). You have just got to love Doris Day movies, love the classics.

    Yea I don't think I could go ask someone "Can they come out and sign this for me?" or anythin. It's just... invasion of their time and space.

    You know what Alex, after reading my last post here, it challenged me. When I say that I can't do something it makes me want to do it more. I love to be challenged, I will get up the nerv to try and see if I can meet them at their next concert, or buy tickets that are meet and greet ones (if I can get them). Making it a hurdle to over come will help me not be nervous (I hope) my mind is a tricky thing. This is part of why I went to Uni, I didn't think I could do it successfully and I needed to prove to myself that I could and I did and even got decent marks when I put in an effort (that didn't happen often, I hate to study but love to learn, once again I am a complicated individual, but fun to know)I am graduating on the 23/04/2010 yeah, I am so excited about that, I am ordering my cap, cape and gound today very excited. I challenged my self to go up the front at the recent Jet concerts I went to (this was a big challenge as I am a little bit clostrophobic when it comes to crowds). I have always stayed at the back or middle at concerts to scared to mix it up with alot of people in close proximity. But I had the best time at the first concert except for a 5min period where someone kept bumping into me and a guy who kept "accidentally" rubbing up against my breast hmmmmm. But I loved being up front it just made it so much more personal. So here goes next time the challenge is out there. I can only try, I will definetly need a friend for moral support, even if I have to drag them there kicking and screaming. Thats what friends are for right, lol.
    Enjoy the simple things in life.

    Done stage door tonnes of times for different bands and met some amazing people (Jay Mehler and Tommy from Kasabian are total darlings and the Manic Street Preachers are awesome guys too). It's great. A lot of the friends I tour with and I have a strict policy of not bothering anyone before the gig though, as they usually just want to potter around, do a bit of shopping and soundcheck. After it's a free for all though.

    A few of us went for stage door at Jet's Shepherds Bush gig, and after about ten minutes a security guy was sent out saying, 'Guys, we just want you to know that there is an aftershow party so if you're going to wait the guys aren't going to be out until about half midnight'. It was a really nice gesture, as often you can wait and be let down with no one from the band or venue bothering to tell you what's going on. That way we all knew not to bother and caught our last trains. So even though we didn't meet them, I still think they've got nice people around them to let us know. Saw Nic a couple of times wandering past before the gig but he was carrying shopping bags and it's never nice to stop them when they're 'off-duty' so to speak.
