As selfish as this sounds, it's good to know the original number of VIP guests for the meet-and-greet won't balloon by another 100 concertgoers.

sorry, but i do agree.

The email i mentioned a few days ago, about switching from reserve to floor must be the reason for this.

here i thought they might have over sold...

Floor is gonna be packed. I'll enjoy my seat.

This word gets overused these days but all i can think about is epic. A concert filled w hard core pj fans and montana natives sounds just about perfect.

Has anyone found out any more information on the meet and greet?

Just a time and location. Seems so top secret.

That information was included in the most recent VIP ticket confirmation.

I'm not sure if they plan on givin out much more info. I think it would be cool if they handed out goodie bags though, just a suggestion
I did get invited to have breakfast with Jon Tester when he visits Minnesota on the 16th,
at the suggested contribution price of 500, 1000 or 2500 :shock:

A goodie bag actually would be great and save time for the band. It'd be awesome if they gave us the poster from the show autographed.

Is this true? Got this pm from a friend about the meet & greet ..

"We haven't gotten the final word yet but right now it seems unlikely that there will be the opportunity for the band to sign things or take individual pictures with guests. I'm sure as the date grows closer we'll have a better idea of how the meet and greet event will work."

Have not heard anything about this, cannot confirm or deny.

I am waiting to hear back from them on this matter, as well as other things.

so we get to stare at them from a distance? sounds awesome! :?

I'm not sure what to expect at the meet and greet but it'll be awesome no matter what it is and I thank the music gods I was able to get m & g tickets with three of my best friends. I was trying to think of what will likely happen at it though and this is what I came up with;

1) I've never been to one of these but 180+ people in a room with the band mingling through the crowd seems highly unlikely. Even with senator level security there would probably be too many issues to manage this.

2) I don't have anything signed by anybody and I guess this would be cool but not sure what something signed really means? "Hey look at this thing this person once held for 5 seconds...," Having the band sign a crap load of stuff a few hours before the show seems unlikely as well. And this would take forever.

3) Did I miss something? I thought it said something to the effect of "a meet and greet with Jon Tester, Jeff Ament and friends" (not the band specifically). Maybe we get to meet Jeff's buddies from Montana? Maybe members of the crew? Mudhoney?

4) Photos with the band seems unlikely - that's a lot of photos for 180+ people and that's going to take forever to do as well...

5) Talking to the band members - what do you even say? Maybe someone else has great questions for them but I'd probably say something they've heard a million times or I'd just thank them. Can't imagine how many requests they'd get for play (insert song here) or play (insert location here)...which can get pretty disrespectful at times, no matter what they do people just want more and more...

6) A brief intro of Jon Tester followed by a 30-45 minute acoustic pre-set - basically a small fan club show. This seems like it would be the easiest for them, make the fans there ecstatic and Jon Tester gets the undivided attention of the people there for a few minutes. I saw PJ open for themselves in Toronto in 2009 when the opening act couldn't get across the border (each individual member came out and played a couple songs solo), and they've done this before as a band playing an acoustic set in Boston.

I hope that's what it is and think this is the most probable scenario. Anyone else have any thoughts/ideas/comments?

I think it said "members of the band."

..........it also said meet-and-greet
