My friend and I decided to buy tickets to go see Bon Jovi in Saratoga Spring (I'm from Montréal) which is 5 hours away from my place. 

When we got there we went to a bar and we met a guy who worked for a record company.  When we told him we were there for Bon Jovi he told us he had backstage passes, I didn't beleive him.  But he insisted on giving me his phone number and he told me to call him back the next day. So I did, still not very sure he was serious, but OH MY GOD HE WAS, and he never asked anything in return.

So we got to the amphitheater to get our passes, we planned to get back to the motel to fresh up a little (we had spend the whole day on a boat swimming and all) but once we were in we couldn't get out. We were devastated, but we managed to get presentable. And there they were in front of me I swear I have and probably never will be as nervous as I was that day. 

We took pictures and when I came back I told that to my boyfriend and of course he didn't believe me but I had proof! Good luck in your project to meet them and don't forget Keep the faith anything can happen!
