Being on the \"guest list\" at a concert
 

Fluffpop won tickets to Tool for tonight in a school raffle. The girl who aquired the tickets for the raffle is Melissa Joan Hart's sister and apperently knows the band members.

Jayrockets and myself are going tonight and basically the only info we have is that the tickets are at will-call under our name, and that we are on the "guest list."

Anyone have any idea what being on the guest list means? The girl who arranged it is not available to explain and I dont want to miss out if it means we have backstage access or something. (I think this is a long shot and its probably something more like being able to skip the line to get in or w/e)

Not sure what 'guest list' means. But I had backstage passes for a Phish show a few years ago. It basically meant watching groupies crowd around hoping for a glimpse of any band members, while me and buddy picked at the cheese platter and drank flat beer. Then a couple guys from the band would come in, look around, single out the cutest girls and take them to the "real" backstage area (where only the band, crew, and select people hang out).

In retrospect though, it was some pretty tasty cheese.

when ive been on a guest list, it just meant the bouncer had my name at the front and i didnt have to buy a ticket/pay cover.

It means something different every time. I've been on guest lists that varied from sitting in a VIP area w/free drinks, etc to skipping the line. With contest winners, a lot of times it entails a meet 'n greet with the artists - although that's more of a Jessica Simpson/'N Sync type thing and not Tool.

A friend of a friend was on the list for a Ben Kweller show. When we showed up, we said so, the bouncer checked, and then let us in without paying or anything. We showed up about two songs before the end of their set, so no backstage or anything.

Yeah go to the Will Call and they have a list with names, bring ID.

I was at a Phish show at Boston Garden once, and a backstage pass literally fell on me. I went backstage and drank some snapple. but I think being on the guest list just seems you get in, like you were at a regular club.

I'm pretty sure it means Tool gets to hookup with Fluffpop while you watch from a roped-off area.

Re: Being on the \"guest list\" at a concert
 

it just means you get in for free, you won't get any extra access.

Re: Being on the \"guest list\" at a concert
 

guys,

what does "getting in free" mean, knowing that we already have tickets reserved?

or does the being on the guest list simply replace the need for tickets?
