    Idea for Rebel Soul Fans only meet and greet
    rjl1969 says (17 Dec '12)

    Ok, Bobby if you read these things I would like for you to think about a special meet and greet available to Rebel Soldiers only. Stay with me here. There are many people like Tammy that would do anything to get the chance at a meet and greet. You need to keep your numbers up on the site and in your fan base. What a better way to do both. Maybe a Rebel lotto so to speak or whatever you can come up with. Use your imagination, I'm sure you could come up with more than just a few creative ideas. Lets see what the fans come up with?.???? Fans?? What do you think? Hang in there and brainstorm with me. Like people say, sometimes the billboards are just a popularity contest and its not just what you know but who and what you know, you know? Lol fans raise your voice in support and ideas!

Hey Ricky Bobby, I think Chris invited you to the Waffle House so he could learn what real is. Mmmm I smell syrup and somebody's about to wake up and smell the coffee. Hee hee. Do the Hillbilly Stomp, don't 2+2 it or 3by 3 it , 4by 4 to a place that's scenic.

rjl1969's picture

Oh, that's bad, Angie . Know exactly where that thoughts going.lol

Heck yea, that would be so awesome if the group would come to the pre party and shake hands. I also realize they are very busy before the show,. Great idea have a rebel soul member preparty in pcola. Prob wouldn't me that much of a security headache lol. I would love that and I know other fans that would flip if they just walked in and did a toast
Sorry around the way they call me bathroom bobby keeps popping in my head lol
Happy new year rocks

Pre show is tough if it's right before they go on, with anxiety, prep, etc. Maybe as a group then leave, but, wouldn't imagine most musicians would want to interact with new folks immediately before the performance. After, lol, nother story. Think earlier in the afternoon is better for them too. Unless you mean the cruise preparty?

rjl1969's picture

If it got me more chances, yes a dollar at a time. Worse than a stripper huh? Lol

had I known the meet and greets wer gonna be a non existant thing I'd of told Hope to set 3 alarms in Minnesota...Tangie was there and On time got her meet. I was absouletyly exhausted had very awful thing happen inside the venue LEFT with my daughter, took a bath...came out hope said MOM you look like a horse has kicked ya..lets go down to the jaccuzzi and relax a bit and go back. it was relaxing went back to the room with a few drinks in our hands ...and got dressed up again and laid down on the bed , Hope was tired too she laid in hers and the only thing that woke me up was a MIDSNORE...and yeah I was late by 10 minutes...lol...

yep blue a raffle idea or even better just having him pick a seat number from random..wouldn't that be a hoot. but the meet and greet should be for how much time BOB wants to spend with the prize winner. if he wants to clear his schedule to spent time with the prize winner NOBODY should get all Up in his GRILL about it...

bluesuedeshoe's picture

Don't think you'd like interacting with him when you get "up in his grill" since he has a temper. LOL. Think all folks are doing here are suggesting ideas that maybe he could work in as he can. Never want to "meet and greet" an unhappy Bob, that's for sure.

How about an auction for a meet and greet? Proceeds to charity.

rjl1969's picture

How about a charity event and for every donation your name gets put into a drawing and the money goes for a good cause.

jszalaj's picture

That wouldn't work cause what would you donate...a dollar at a time?

rjl1969's picture

You guys are too funny. Love that idea Bex .i would love the thought of you coming to get me to sit up front and then we could have a couple of badass beers cause Santa has to sit up front too. Lol

My idea is not based on meet and greets, but in keeping with the raffle type thing... I think it would be awesome for Shazaam and the band to save a few seats right up front (maybe 4 - 8 or by the pit) for folks who may have purchased seats in the nosebleed section. Then, have a member of his staff (like a secret Santa) go grab enthused fans that may have not had that chance to be front for a once in a blue moon front row experience... perhaps a free bad ass beer could be included... but that's something nice and doesn't take much effort imo

jszalaj's picture

Nah that wouldn't be fair. Go to the House of Blues and you can be in the front row. Also pulled front row tix in the presale.

Beckxy's picture

Also, I'd be honored to be appointed as the "Secret Santa" at shows I intend to go to... at this point that's none..lol. But just in case ya need someone to go pick out a handful from the way backs... I'm your girl 0:)

A raffle of fan club members here online would be excellent. I couldn't get a decent seat with my presale so i went on first day of sales and got a better one then i came up with fan club presale. THERE is something definitely amiss is all i will say.

HELL even if they had a random raffle type of draw on here for fan club members i probably wouldn't win. But it would be fun to think about. WOULD be cool to get a bonus or something with it like a laminated backstage pass, free t-shirt of your choosing @ the concert, dinner out, over night stay @ a swank hotel,a copy of every cd he has made, $100 spending cash. Something along those lines for the grand prize winner. Then maybe 4 or 5 who just get meet & greets as runners up. YEAH i dream big in ways!

If you are gonna put it out there why not paint that whore up and put her on the corner ya know? SO top that you guys!

BUT remember...since i came up with the idea i get to be the grand prize winner for NASHVILLE!

Raffles don't work. Was at Rock USA wondering how the people won the meet & greet. It was never announced. AND it could be fixed (have seen that unknowing to the artist with tix being given to friends). I still think an auction.

littleoldwtf's picture

with ROCK USA it wasn't rigged but ya did have to literally be on the local rock stations every word..I think they did a trivia event or something. I didn't participate I had so much to do that day in OSHKOSH and a event I recently said I'd attend so...I got there just before motley crew and left and just before Kidrock (to make it fair) and left .

jszalaj's picture

We did get a meet & greet for another band at Rock USA. My friend caught them giving tix to friends and he gave her 2 to shut her up. That was a radio station but supposedly for buying tix you were automatically entered for "the act of your choice". We had no clue who won.

One idea send members a code and before the show light up a message for members to text the code to specific number and if they receive a txt back they would go to a VIP area and after the show have a chance to meet with Bob & the band or even receive the code prior to show via email and meet before the event with a shout out during the show!

littleoldwtf's picture

kinda neat idea..but wonder if someone doesn't have a cellphone? YES there are people that resist the cell phone. I have one (never use it) I prefer face to face interaction or the occasional hand written letter now. you can touch thier words , I have one loveletter I am going to put a match to may 12th, 2012 my 50th.

I think a meet & greet is a fabulous !! Idea. I am taking some gals (5 of us in all ) to their first ever KID ROCK event! They are in for a kick ass time and to be able to meet Bob would be the ultimate fan experience!

rjl1969's picture

I guess there's just a few of us that would really like a meet and greet, so I say just give it to us devoted ones. Are ya with me?

rjl1969's picture

I think I would even pay for a meet and greet, assuming its semi affordable.

rjl1969's picture

So ,so far most people like the raffle idea. That's what I'm hearing. Anyone else?

jszalaj's picture

I'll stick with the auction. That way you know where you stand.

To show respect for his fanbase, which is diverse and enormous, I love the raffle idea at the start of the show. Even better, if Shakes would come out and announce the fan club "addys" of folks who won at the beginning of the show. I understand the need for privacy and pre confirmation, thus the addys. If I were a first time goer and saw the RS show, and saw that fanclub members were raffled back, I would run to the official site and join.

I think the meet and greet idea is AMAZING! Too bad it couldn't be for every member of the fan club. They get one m&g to their choice of show for the year. I had a chance to speak with Bobby on the boat last year and it was the best 30 seconds. Although, I did see some fans act "crazy" when they got super close to him. I almost got trampled by a lady that was physically pushing herself through the crowd. lol.

Anyways, I like the idea of a lottery type drawing. For each member who bought a ticket through Rebel Soldiers for each city gets put in a drawing . And however many ppl can get picked. As much as I would love a meet and greet. . . What I would really love is front row seats to a show. I've been to about 12 shows and I've never been within 50 rows of the stage. This year I am determined to buy VIP (even if I can't afford it) to get a decent seat!!!
