A concert backstage pass is one that grants access to different areas of a specific concert. Backstage passes are available for all kinds of concerts, such as a stage performance, fashion show, film festival, or music performance. These are usually desired by fans of the artist or one of the performers of the show or concert in question.
These can come in many types of formats, two of which are laminated, usually card-shaped designed to be worn around the neck and with the type of card written on top (rarely with a photo ID) and wristbands (the color showing the type of access allowed).
How many types are available?
There may be several types of backstage passes available. However, only four are common. These are: – an all access pass, a crew pass, a VIP pass and a press pass. All-access passes provide the greatest possible exposure to the artist; including pre and post performance parts, backstage and all.
Crew passes, for crew members only, also cover all or most of the area. The press pass may have various restrictions depending on the organizers. And a VIP pass is one that gives a VIP permission to enter and enjoy the areas that are not restricted by the organizers.
Where to find one?
Free backstage concert passes may be available from a number of sources. The individual or group, hosts, organizers, show managers, press or radio partner covering the concert can provide you with these passes, which are primarily used to promote the concert or increase popularity.
What is the correct way to behave?
Attending a backstage party has several codes and ethics that must be upheld. If you don’t do this or misbehave, the guards can throw you out the door. Probably the first is to dress well and speak intelligently. It’s unnecessary and often disturbing to talk like a kisser because artists usually know they’re cool. It’s also important not to feel hysterical or overzealous.
Showing restraint on your part is also often important. While it’s natural to be a little excited to see the person of your dreams right in front of you, it helps to make a show of respecting her boundaries. Getting drunk is never a good idea and this is no exception. It would also be better if you don’t eat all the food that is served.
What are the advantages?
If you’re too crazy about an artist (or a star), you certainly appreciate the sight of being with him/her/them. These passes can be a form of photo shoot, dating the person you admire so much. You may even get a chance to meet who the real person is, under all the glamour. Look what is hidden under the veil!
