Have you ever had a bad experience at a meet and greet? Tell us your story.

Sandra Mylchreest

Yes, I have had a bad experience at a meet and greet before. It was a few years ago when I was really into a certain band and they were doing a meet and greet at a local music store. I arrived early, along with a handful of other fans, and we were all really excited to meet the band.

However, as the time approached for the meet and greet, the store staff informed us that we would not be able to take any photos with the band. This was a huge disappointment, as one of the main reasons we were all there was to get a photo with our favorite band members.

Then, when the band finally arrived, they seemed disinterested and distant. They barely spoke to any of us and just went through the motions of taking a quick photo before moving on to the next person in line. It was clear that they were just going through the motions and didn't really care about connecting with their fans.

To make matters worse, the store staff rushed us through the meet and greet, giving us only a few seconds to chat with the band before hustling us out the door. It felt like a complete waste of time and money, and I left feeling disappointed and let down.

Looking back on that experience, I realized that meet and greets can be hit or miss. You never know how the band or artist will behave, and the staff running the event can also make a big difference. I've since attended other meet and greets where I had a much more positive experience, and it just goes to show that you can't let one bad encounter ruin your love for a particular artist or band.

Overall, I think meet and greets are a great way for fans to connect with their favorite artists and show their support. But it's important for both the band and the event staff to make an effort to make the experience a positive one for everyone involved. Hopefully, my bad experience was just a fluke and other fans have had much better luck at meet and greets.
