maybe they should change it from 'meet & greet' to 'picture session'... that would clear everything up lol ;) *wingding '97 - los angeles '98 - west palm beach '98 - los angeles '00 - aventura mall appearance '00 - ft.lauderdale '00 - cambridge, mass '03 - orlando '03 - atlanta '04 - orlando '04 - orlando '05 - orlando members event '08 - orlando '08* |

QUOTE: UnluckyOnebut ive met the guys. alot of times. and honestly, i feel bad for some of the crap they feel like they HAVE to put up with just so fans dont post crap like this. and i've been to every fan event BESIDES the one in florida, so i know how THEY work too. at least they took pix in small groups. and meet and greets WERENT promised, group pictures were. same with mona. mona was the same thing "k everyone look at the camera, dont forget to get a shirt as you're leaving ADIOS!!" what do you really want from them? i mean honestly, what would they have to do to make you happy? private concert in your bedroom?
well if you've met them alot of times, id really think twice about lecturing people who havent had that chance. if you had never met them ever you're point of view would be very different. you're really exaggerating this whole thing, but whatever. i gotta go! *wingding '97 - los angeles '98 - west palm beach '98 - los angeles '00 - aventura mall appearance '00 - ft.lauderdale '00 - cambridge, mass '03 - orlando '03 - atlanta '04 - orlando '04 - orlando '05 - orlando members event '08 - orlando '08* |

QUOTE: UnluckyOneand a meet and greet was never promised. it was a fan club event, NOT a meet and greet. meet and greets are smaller and more personal and even at that, they usually get 3 mins with the guys TOPS. they're BUSY guys, mostly with stuff involving the band / the label / the causes / PROMOTING themselves so they have the MONEY to tour. i think you're entirely misinterpreting how much money they're making off the fans because its NOT as much as you think. ticket sales are down (as demonstrated by the fact that neither new york nor either chicago shows are sold out and they're ALWAYS the first to go) and gas prices are up. those buses take about 500 bux/each to fill up under NORMAL circumstances, i cant image the cost right now with prices how they are. you think hnet is cheap to run? doubt it. this is a BIG domain and i DOUBT they break even on it, no matter how many paying members they have. plus they mail out flyers to street team members, never asking for money in return, which isnt cheap. at one point they gave out stickers for free. the cards to sign up after the walks, you think those are free? no. god, get over it.
i think you're the one who needs to "get over it" and stop jumping to conclusions. ive had a meet & greet, i know how it goes.... i didnt even get 3 min with them i got like 30 seconds, but i didnt complain then, and im not now either. and yes, a meet & greet WAS part of the members event, and if you'd never had one how would you even know what to expect. i dont feel bad for hanson, there are people struggling all over this country... theyre doing ok. my reason for replying is because the girl who wrote this post is really being bashed, and its completely unnecessary and this kind of behavior is why we have a bad name as fans. now im being bashed for standing up for her. i never stay after shows to meet them, during the event i didnt try and talk to them, and during the walk i walked with my boyfriend, so don't judge me because you know nothing about me. *wingding '97 - los angeles '98 - west palm beach '98 - los angeles '00 - aventura mall appearance '00 - ft.lauderdale '00 - cambridge, mass '03 - orlando '03 - atlanta '04 - orlando '04 - orlando '05 - orlando members event '08 - orlando '08* |

QUOTE: UnluckyOneQUOTE: Alexandra83QUOTE: UnluckyOnewell if the fans would have respect for them as PEOPLE and not just as PERFORMERS, we wouldnt have this problme now would we?
but they ARE performers, we pay their bills lady. when its time to be with their fans they gotta get their game faces on. wow....so that means i should totally bow down to my boss at ihop cuz he gives me my paycheckand therefor pays the bills? and they're not JUST performers. people act like they're some sort of ROBOTS that were put on this earth for the fans with no real feelings or lives of their own. newsflash: THEY'RE HUMAN. its ppl like YOU that makes me ashamed to be a fan because i dont want them to think im as selfish as you are. what if your boss demanded ALL your time and you NEVER got to see your kids or get any sleep or even GO HOME? it would suck, no? WOAHHHH, that was super rude. actually , its you that makes me ashamed to be a fan because you jump all over people with a different opinion than you. no one ever said ANYTHING about them not being human, not being able to see their families bc of fans... give me a break. start a fight with someone else bc i dont have time for this ridiculousness. *wingding '97 - los angeles '98 - west palm beach '98 - los angeles '00 - aventura mall appearance '00 - ft.lauderdale '00 - cambridge, mass '03 - orlando '03 - atlanta '04 - orlando '04 - orlando '05 - orlando members event '08 - orlando '08* |

all they have to do is make music, sell cds and perform on stage. They dont have to be available to us in anyway at all, that's the point. They come outside after shows because they love us, not because they have to, so to expect them to do so much for us all of the time is just ignorant. They are people, they have lives outside of their job, we aren't entitled to their personal time.
wow, calm down. i dont understand why there is some crusade to make them out to be victims. hanson have been doing this for a looong time now, they know what to expect, they know how their fans are. my point is that when they are at a fan event, a concert, a walk... thats not their personal time, thats their job. the girl who posted this has all the right in the world to be disappointed, that was her FIRST time ever seeing them and she thought during a MEET and greet she'd actually get to meet them... i can believe everyone has jumped on her like this. She has a right to feel however she wants. Now if you expect hanson to have conversations and eat lunch with every fan, thats another story, and no one expects that. You dont need to stick up for hanson, they're doing fine. *wingding '97 - los angeles '98 - west palm beach '98 - los angeles '00 - aventura mall appearance '00 - ft.lauderdale '00 - cambridge, mass '03 - orlando '03 - atlanta '04 - orlando '04 - orlando '05 - orlando members event '08 - orlando '08* |

yeah i was there too... it was pretty awesome, but i kind of expected a little more out of the meet & greet. i felt bad for people who brought things to get signed and didnt get that chance. im not complaining bc ive seen them so many times, but i understand your frustruation. im excited to see the pictures too!
