One Direction Backstage Passes Where We Are 2014 Tour?

[jollymagic448]

I currently have tickets to go to see 1D at Croke Park in Dublin in May 2014. Does anyone know where I could source backstage passes to meet the guys? Or any advice of how I could meet them? It is literally my dream! PLEASE HELP

Nope, but if you do punch each of them once for me, okay? okay.

On the subject of backstage passes.....

One thing backstage passes are NOT SOLD at the box office or thru any online ticket place like Ticketmaster. Or sold on any website for that matter.
You either have to be working with the band or the concert or know someone personally that is connected directly to the band, promoters or the concert....
or personally know a member of the band..

There are FOUR WAYS to get a backstage pass. From somebody that posted this information here on Yahoo Answers in the past. That is really knowledgeable
on this subject & some editing of my NYC experience on this.

1)
You must KNOW someone connected with the band or tour, more like a relative that works for the band/concert/promoters. Or, if you are lucky have a friend or a neighbor that has a relative that works for the band or the promoters directly. Or somebody you personally knows that
works for the band or promoters directly that has these connections.

2)
Be a news reporter. You would have to be one connected to your local newspaper or local TV/radio news team. Also, people that are internet news bloggers very rarely get these unless they are very well know in the news industry. I have seen a few teens that get a website
and claim they are a news blogger (Sorry, that just don't cut it).
Also, the news people can't just show up with their news crew and be let
in backstage. They have to arrange this in advance. Especially these days.

3)
A local radio station will sometime have a backstage pass or two of the concert
and offer it as a promotional prize.
Either you have to be the 7th or 10th or 12th caller.
Or hope that the entry form you filled out gets picked out by the radio DJ or whoever they
have in a random drawing at the radio station.

4)
Sometimes a person will have one and will sell it on EBAY online auction or Craigslist
and EXPECT to pay REALLY BIG DOLLARS (like hundreds or thousands) for one.
You have to be careful when buying these from these websites. Some people I have seen
that show up at a concert and pay $300.00 and more on one only to learn that
the backstage pass they bought is nothing but a laminated fake that someone made on
his home computer that security can easily spot.

Some of these backstage passes have bar codes or security strips on
them, depending on the agents and promoters.
On some concerts the promoters will give a backstage pass to a person. Sometime these backstage passes are not transferable. If the person is not the name on the ID code
on this backstage pass they could be in some trouble.

Those are the ONLY WAY you will get a backstage pass legally.

Thank the Lord for the copy & paste option on IExplorer so I don't have to type the above information again when people ask this question.

The only way to get backstage passes is to use the ultimate backstage book that they sell online.

From what I understand, and the people I know in music
shops that sell CDs tell me, You have to know somebody
in the music industry, especially know the band or the
promoters of the band to get a backstage pass.
