badwolf Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Oh crap, they're doing that for our show, too. But I don't get it.
jnine13 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Ok,So I got this thing from verizon that includes access to the soundcheck and an autographed prize from the band. I was wondering if anyone else has got this too? If so do you get to meet the band and go backstage and whats the prize?How did your friend get it ahead of time? Did they enter a contest?
MassHysteria Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I don't believe that getting them from Verizon themselves is the only way to get them. Near the beginning of the tour I noticed a lot of local radio stations had contests for them, but those are basically impossible to win
KaitlinEatWorld Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 How did your friend get it ahead of time? Did they enter a contest?I have no idea reallyand for the autographs,You only get those if your on the list beforehand,if Im understanding corectlybut,since your all saying chris is awesome,and since hes supposed to call me before the show,Im gonna try to talk him into backstage passes or meeting the band or something
MascaraTears Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I have no idea reallyand for the autographs,You only get those if your on the list beforehand,if Im understanding corectlybut,since your all saying chris is awesome,and since hes supposed to call me before the show,Im gonna try to talk him into backstage passes or meeting the band or something but wait... do u know him personally or something? how did you meet him?
mad hatter. Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 im having trouble understanding, so (to ur knowledge) if u wait in line for ur tickets, u need to have verizon to get in 4 soundcheck, but for those of us that have, lets say, AT&T (me), we can wait by the buses, and wait for a guy named (probably) Chris, to come out, and he should give u passes, verizon or not. right? correct me if im wrong plz. first concert and i really want to see soundcheckThat's what I'm saying. (: That's what happened at my show. He literally came out with passes from the bus for the people waiting around, and everyone that was waiting in line down stairs had to have Verizon.
drumstick Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 holy shit!that's awesome. is that just for the american tour or?
Drew Holiday Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Ok, I have a Verizon Slider Phone.I am going to Orlando to see the band. I am spending the day at Wet N Wild, going to a steakhouse with my dad for dinner, then I am going to arrive at the stadium hopefully around 3:30.So to get the passes, I have to find the bus and stand by it, until a guy named Chris comes out? If so, I am going to approach any guy that comes out of the bus and ask if his name is Chris, I have a Verizon phone and could I have some soundcheck passes.Would that work fine?
KaitlinEatWorld Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 but wait... do u know him personally or something? how did you meet him?who Chris? no hes just supposed to call me to give me the passes

Drew Holiday Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 How many passes does Chris give out anyway?And if we will be playing Rock Band, then I will fit in because I play expert
mad hatter. Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 How many passes does Chris give out anyway?And if we will be playing Rock Band, then I will fit in because I play expert When I was there, he gave out about a dozen or so.
Drew Holiday Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Oh crap, I better mob that bus when I get there.Maybe I will be the only one asking for a guy named Chris.And where does this bus usually wait? Near the stadium, or in the parking lot?
MassHysteria Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Here's a pic of the pass:http://twitpic.com/c1vnn
GDM Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I borrowed my bosses' Verizon Blackberry to go to the soundcheck in NYC. I got in line for GA at 2:00 and they came out at 4:00 asking if anyone had a verizon blackberry. I was about the 15th person in line and got a soundcheck pass. Basically, they herded us into one area of MSG to another and then at about 5:30 thereabouts, we went in to see the soundcheck. The band really didn't talk with us, soundcheck is a personal time for artists to get their brain and shit together for the night's performance. After about 20 minutes, we left and were taken into one of the bars at MSG where we had drinks and food and some people played Rock Band. They took our pictures and gave us t-shirts. I think someone did ask about autographed posters, but they didn't have any.They never really checked the phone, just took a glance at it.

Starless.Eyes. Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I am getting to the venue around 3pm, do you think I will be too far back in the line to get soundcheck passes?
MassHysteria Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 oh. my. god.i got into the sound check yesterday...Yeah I saw that on your twitter! did you have to have a blackberry?
KaitlinEatWorld Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 oh. my. god.i got into the sound check yesterday...well can you share your story?
Insane&Insecure Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 say i go buy a prepaid verizon phone at walmart, will that work (as long as theyre not looking for only blackberries)?
