Have you met Avril? When was your first meet with Avril? How was it to meet her?
I have never met Avril but I want to meet her so so much! She's the best!!! I have some questions I want to ask her too.

I'd have liked to when I was younger but like, it's not something I'd pay for or anything now. I'd like to meet her at no expense to me basically, haha

I met her in June 2014 on The Avril Lavigne Tour. Overall, I'd give the meet and greet a 6/10. My picture came out great and from what I could see, Avril was really sweet. The company that ran the meet and greet was really rude. They didn't want us to do anymore than take a picture with Avril. A girl even asked if Avril could sign her tattoo and the photographer said no when obviously, Avril would've had no problem doing it. I think if we're paying $500, we should have a bit more time even though the line was kinda long (we still had an hour or so before the show). When I met Avril, she said "hi how are you?" and all I can really remember is kind of hugging her, the photographer yelled "ONE, TWO, THREE" and I had to pose on the quicks. I told her how much I loved her and she said "aww thank you so much". I've heard other stories of Bandaids members meeting her and they say she's really cool, I assume the little reply was due to the company rushing her just like they were rushing us.
Anyways, I would buy another meet and greet just because it was a great experience and I love Avril but I do hope on the next tour she switches companies.
EDIT: I also remember that a really die hard fan was in front of me and while he was meeting her, I could hear him telling her about how he's been to every show in Chicago since 2003 and the photographer was rushing him even though Avril was listening AND responding to him.

Yeah it's ridiculous how much those companies are charging for fans to only spend like 30 seconds with her. I'd recommend anyone who wants to meet Avril to pay attention to this space and look out for when Sharifa and the crew arrange meet ups with her because many times they will help other fans get a spot with them and they don't just get to meet Avril, but they hang out with her, drink, talk, give her gifts. Last year they asked fans to send their letters to them and they put them all in a big book and gave it to Avril, so we could be sure she actually would get them. They also got to attend the AL album release party. Because of where BA is at right now I don't know if these meetups will be possible in the future but they've done it many times in the past and helped lots of fans meet Avril and really get a chance to speak with her- and it doesn't cost anything, except maybe a ticket price or something. They were also there at the Boathouse launch of Abbey Dawn and got her to give a greeting on camera for BA and Devon got to do a 10 minute interview with her backstage during rehearsal for the MMVAs. We have some pretty decent connections with Avril, more than some other fan bases.

For $500 I'd want nothing less than a date with Avril. Seriously though, I knew those meet & greets were expensive, but not THAT expensive. That's just criminal, especially when everything I've heard about them has been pretty negative, at least during the AL tour. Fans are herded into a room, their gifts are thrown onto a pile, they get 10 seconds to say "Hi" to her and have their photo taken, then they have to GTFO. I know those 10 seconds make it all worth it, but it doesn't sound like something I'd pay $500 for.

As much as I love Avril and maybe after the experience you don't even think about how much you spent, to me it's just crazy to spend that kind of money, especially for such a rushed and impersonal experience.

If I meet Avril sometime, do you think I can ask her some questions? I would like to ask her about how old she was when she got her first drum kit and her first guitar and I want to tell her that she is the best artist in the world.

Yes I met her in 2008 TBDT, I had a VIP package and it costs 220 Euro's (very expensive) and it wasn't that spectacular cause she said not much and then I heard: PICTURE!! And after that I had to go and another fan came up. But on the other hand, I would pay it again if I can choose again for a VIP package My profile picture is with her!

I didn't meet her per say, but I was one of the lucky ones who won the Google+ hangout for her latest album. It's not exactly like we were just able to sit there and chat with her since we were chosen to participate because of the question we had submitted. Still super cool nonetheless, I wore my Abbey Dawn shirt and she looked happy to see I was wearing it. Then a few months later I was front row at one the the christmas radio tours she performed at in my city. So I haven't met her in person yet, but I plan to hopefully go to a meet and greet whenever she goes on tour again.

Haven't met her but she waved at me when I was the only Gringo in the audience down in Brazilia on the AL tour. I was second row and she kinda did a double take and looked right at me. Haha. I wish I'd brought a dozen roses cause I was so close I could've handed them to her! Did anybody hear who won (or if it even went down due to her illness), the grand prize last year? They were supposed to get a dinner with her. Thought I might have a chance until someone dropped like 20k to take the top spot at the very end.
