This was my first one, and that's how it was.  I have friends in the business, so I do understand all to well the time constraints and logistics that can have an affect on this sort of thing.

I do believe that since these are being handled by a third party (Artist Arena) that they are the one's who are in  control over how the event is handled.  Most likely reason is to keep it consistent though out the tour.   There were a large number of people at the one in Indy and we missed Andy Grammer.  Yes, the tour manager took the photo's and we don't have access to them until Monday.

Double edged sword.

SIMPLE SOLUTION !!!

NO DOUBT about it "WE ALL LOVE TRAIN" we all have from the very first song and always will till the very last song!!! These 3 guys and their band are AMAZING!!! We got to stop this and all move on with LOVE in OUR HEARTS for Pat, Scott and Jimmy cause you all know deep down inside that's how we really feel !!! So guys please just step up to the plate and make a simple concession to everyone that was sold a bill of goods that they never received and maybe just maybe everybody can move on with a POSITIVE future with TRAIN. Don't leave us hangin with negativity from a bad experience. We can all forgive and FORGET!!! A simple suggestion.......send to all those that attended these M/G that were promised things not delivered a signed copy of your new CD as a token of appreciation and maybe just maybe the fans will forget and move on cause really guys if there was EVER a BAND that could CHANGE the WORLD it is TRAIN!!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

The posters are approximately 17 inches in height and 11 inches wide.

I have never been to a meet & greet.  I don't have any clue how to go about being able to go.  Can you veterans help this rookie?

You have to purchase a ticket w/ a M&G attached to it so it's face value plus the additional cost.  Usually you have to go to Artist Arena or whatever online outlet the band uses to get them.

Hey Pam,  All your posts on this subject have been deleted.  Was that something you did or was that done by the Train folks as the posts were less than complimentary (although true).  Let us know how your M & G went tonight.  (and perhaps re-post your one of a few days ago).

I'm thinking this is more appropriate as a private message...IMO

I think any time you would get with them would be terrific. These guys are on the road at a ferocious pace, and if you want the great show they provide, then shortening the process of the meet and greet is part of the way to save energy for what thousands of people gave their hard earned money to see, which is one of the best shows on the road. I, for one would LOVE a meet and greet and would be honored to be able to spend the smallest amount of time with them. I'm sorry, but I think you are being pretty hard on the guys and staff who give it everything they have every show. I actually heard a person sitting in front of me whining about the same thing. Holy Crap, you got what many of us would have given almost anything to get. How about being grateful for being fortunate enough to get to met the guys in person. I'm just sayin...

I attended the M&G Sunday night at Mohegan Sun. The email specifically told us we were not to use our own camera/ phone, and nothing would be signed. The instructions given to us before the guys entered the room was that we were not to hug them, try to use a camera, or ask for anything to be signed; if we did, our picture would immediately be deleted. While I don't feel like we were treated like crap, I do feel like the whole process was very mechanical, and almost defeated my enjoyment of meeting Pat, Scott, and Jimmy. We shook hands, hurriedly took a picture (although it came out great!!), and were ushered out of the room to get our pre-signed poster. It was definitely disappointing :(

I don't know about your comment that people would have 'given almost anything' to get what we got.  I did give almost anything.  I gave them $422.25 (about 15% of my monthly salary) because I thought I would 'give almost anything', too.  And I didn't event think it was crazy until I was threatened like a child, intimidated, rushed, and made to feel a bit like a fool.  We were misled about what we were to receive and experience which was disappointing to say the least -- and we should have every right to say so.  Under what other circumstances does anyone expect someone to be grateful for not getting what they paid for?  I'm just sayin...
