Wait... what? OMG that's terrible! I'm not going to die or anything. I just have a melanoma looking purple spot on my leg that has only just appeared which looks like skin cancer but it's small and probably hasn't progressed into anything serious yet so ill get it removed before it does. It first appeared a couple of months ago and thought it looked strange but then it started going away so didn't think much of it, only last night I noticed it back again, this time it's a lot darker than before and now has a white ring around it and is now giving me a bit of pain so now I'm a bit concerned so will get it checked out.
Still terrible. I hope it hasn't spread.

Clearly this is a very personal subject for some fans, though I still think these M&Gs are absurdly overpriced. A small fee to cover the costs of the venue etc is understandable I suppose, but hundreds of dollars??? Too much. ShiningStar_x I'm very sorry to hear that, even if it turns out to be operable. I hope you get better soon.

Ten years ago I'd have said yes I'd love to meet her. Nowadays no, I wouldn't pay for it. She's just someone who makes music I like to me now, not someone id pay to or go out of my way to meet.

Omg that is awful!! It's good that you react quickly! Let it check as soon as possible indeed cause in a later stadium it could be worse. I hope that the doctors can fix this. I wish you all the best
Your meet and greet seemed very nice tho, I met her too, I paid for it and would do it again. But I was also too shy and nervous to really talk to her so I stand there and gave her my present and before I knew it was over but it ment a lot to me that I met her that day back in 2008 ^_^ At least I can say I met my idol! I have other singers I like but she'll always be my number 1.
Edit: I must say the price of the meet&greet is very expensive tho.. I paid 220 Euro's for the concert and Meet&Greet. I lived back then with my mom and I live on my own now and have bills to pay so it would be a lot to pay such amount again when she would offer Meet&greets. It could be less expensive I think cause the duration was like 5 minutes or something.

There are people who I like 10X as much as as Avril who I wouldn't pay for a meet and greet. What would I possibly have to say to them? As for her she would only be interested in the measly (by her standards) $300 I could give her.
Personally, no matter how much I admire and respect certain artists, I have never felt any real personal "connection" to any that I would have anything meaningful to say to them. I never dream of meeting my idols. What for?

I think meet and greets would be great but for the price and what you get maybe not. first off OK about no touching but stand closer not like your 2 people just standing in the same room. Also meet and greet for one i had i got to talk to them for a min and we exchanged words. She always wasn't so cold cause i saw 2002 she was friendly to fans. Its like when she died her hair straight blonde her brain died. Also about security concerns, well lets just say once your wanded and everything sharp is taken away. you can still do some damage to someone even 2 feet apart before security gets to you sooo i don't know what they are taking about safety wise.

I also wanted to ad that Meet and Greets were longer back in the day. You got to hang with others and talk and when all the pics were done they walked through and talked a little more and made some inside stuff and left. Now its like a checkout line really.

Well i for one thought and know that Avril sets the rules, I mean she wont back down and gets whatever she wont's if i remember. I read countless interviews where she beams in saying that and others said that in interviews too. It was part of making her image buildup as this rebel and now your telling me that that she takes orders and or is afraid of her fans. the person who started fights in a bar over nothing and gives the finger to people. I don't think so cause if anybody is near you they can harm you even if its 3 feet away.

Avril is the only artist I really would love to meet. To get a photo with her would be amazing. I am fine with not touching her (actually don't feel the need to do so) or not having a longer Q&A chat, but at least a personalized autograph on one item you took with you for these high prices should be included too... She did this at her 'Best Damn Thing' tour. My friend had a Meet & Greet ticket.

She did this at her 'Best Damn Thing' tour. My friend had a Meet & Greet ticket. When I had a M&G with Escape the Fate back in February there wasn't any touching either, and not too much time but we did get autographs. On a tour poster and I brought my copy of the latest album, I didn't really feel like touching them either, one of them laying an arm around me for the picture got me so high! Actually the only one I talked to longer was Ashley Costello but I guess my luck was that I had met her before when I only got a photo so I was nervous as hell but comfortable enough to talk to her after the show, and she was the only one I hugged (she hugged me) What I'm trying to say: I guess the wish for body contact, such as a short hug, might come when you meet someone you look up to and they turn out to be as nice as you thought (or even better!) But paying as much as people did at Avril's last tour is too much for me, that back in February was like 40 or 50€ plus the venue ticket. So in general about 60 or 70€ per person, but a three-figure sum would be too much. (Also one of the reason I didn't go to the 1989 tour...)
