Not really related to Avril meet and greets but since others have mentioned other artists they have met, while I haven't met anyone yet, I will be meeting Dalton Rapattoni in October (3 weeks from today actually). Unfortunately the general admission tickets were not included with the price of the M&G ticket so I had to purchase those separately. But they were extremely cheap, only $18, so I didn't mind it that much. Just thought it was odd because usually a regular ticket is included with VIP packages. The M&G tickets were $50 each which includes photo and autograph opportunities. Dalton doesn't mind touching (as long as it's not inappropriate touching) and he enjoys giving hugs and is a pretty good sport about taking silly photos with people if they want to do something else besides just stand next to each other. Im not sure how much time each person will get with him, but since it was limited to 50 people, maybe we each can have a minute or 2 with him, would be nice if he could also open our gifts in front of us, but there may be no time for that. But basically I would like to at least say hi, get a hug, give him his gift, take a photo, and then have him sign a couple things for me. Everyone who has met him says he's so nice and makes you feel like you have known each other forever so I'm very excited about it and looking forward to it.

I respect people who pay to get in touch with their idols in meet and greets ( everyone is free to spend their money in what they want) but I would never do (or at least the amounts we are talking about in this thread. WTF 300, 400. 500$$!!!)
I'd rather to go to the back door and pray to have the oportunity to get close to her or him and steal an autograph and a photo.
Or better wait 30 years and when, for instance Avril, is 60 years and less famous, go to her house and have tea while we talk about those wonderful years

He talked on the show about all the meds he's on and what happens if he stops.

Yeah he suffers from bipolar disorder. He struggled in the past but I think he's been doing well for a few years now and it seems to be under control.

I've never been to a concert in my life, but I'd love to go to Avril's next. I don't know if I'd spend that amount of money for a M&G, I'd rather meet her by chance... for instance if I visit LA (or wherever she lives), and I'm at the grocery store, or at the beach, and I see her, I'd ask her for an autograph and a photo. At M&G everything is always rushed out, so I don't think you have the chance to really appreciate the moment... just my opinion

I've never met Avril Lavigne, but I'll like to meet her someday. I'm not really sure about the Meet and Greets since I'm financially broke as a person. But I'll probably give it a shot if I ever get the money.
I honestly agree of what BogoGog24 said, probably the reason why Avril's M&G's were strict because of those reasons. I didn't really go against it since I knew there was something behind them. Hopefully the Meet and Greets will improve in the future.

I'm a fan of Avril since I was 11, I'm almost 26 and I still dream about meeting her I saw her 8 times live and the prices of tickets here in Brazil are absurd, her M&G was absurd for me as well (800+ reais, our money), but compared to Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber it was "fine" (theirs were more than 2.000) I'm thinking about, when she comes to Brazil again and if she comes before I move from here, I might go to less shows and then pay a meet. It will be expensive and I know how awkward some meets are, but might be my only chance to say a hi in person to her, and to some people might be weird but to me it's something I really want in my life. And as someone said maybe next time will be nicer cause of the bad meets on the last tour
In 2014 when she was touring here she did something with a store, in a city was inside a mall and I went there, I was with my friend and when she passed by really close she waved at me and my friend, but still I wanna say hi hahah
I paid meets before, for 3 drag queens of Drag Race. Adore Delano I paid twice, and even tho it's fast she's so amazing it's worth it. Alaska I wouldn't pay again, I prefer her show only. And in 2011 I won to meet one of my fav bands, The Used, was said 15 minutes but we had like 5 minutes. But we could talk, walk among them, ask for pics, hugs.. was super nice and as I said I won so no charges at all

Revisting my first thread 😂
I've sort of changed my mind about meet and greets 😂
If given the choice between an Avril M&G and 1200 chicken mcnuggets (both the same price), I think I'd go with the mcnuggets now 😝
With a M&G that requires me to sell my left kidney to afford it I'd expect Avril to at least comfort me as I die of renal failure.
