You don't even meet Britney though lol you say hi and take a pic and are expected to not touch her and leave. It's such a sad excuse for a M&G. And flu or not her M&Gs were always like that. Look at people like Rihanna who are genuinely excited to meet their fans and make their M&Gs worth it:

I wish they adopted a method of M&G like Taylor Swift does tbh; she has a team of people looking for fans who look like they're having fun and want to be there and invite them backstage after the show. The team literally gets to screen fans for it because they're picking them, talking to them and then inviting them! It might make the interactions more genuine than ''oh look, I have enough money!'' and honestly, Britney's best meet and greets come from the ones that seem like they were genuine.

Sure, even Gaga in 2012 used to pick fans to meet her afterwards, and they just chilled for a bit after the show.

The current M&G are a cashgrab, with no real pay off; You meet, you greet, you get your photo and go.

It's "meet and greet" not "meet, have a conversation with dinner and greet". They're not supposed to last more than 2 minutes max. And you can't blame her, she got the flu and got IVs backstage before the show.

I agree, and people blame anxiety. That's just a part of it, if her anxiety was truly that bad, she wouldn't (and shouldn't) be doing M&Gs for everyones sake. She's just very introverted and probably insecure so she doesn't necessarily like being around strangers. If that's who she is, that's ok, but M&Gs shouldn't cost more than $400-500 for it.

I hate it when they do this, purely because it makes everyone else wonder why they weren't chosen or what they did wrong. It's like there always has to be a certain criteria and if you don't meet it, you don't get to meet them. If you're at a Taylor Swift show and you're not a young girl/woman or a couple, you aren't likely to get chosen. (I'm waiting for someone to send me pics proving me wrong but I honestly believe there's a certain "look" you need to have). Obviously, it's great for the people who are chosen but with Taylor Swift, everyone knew about Rep Room and was desperately trying to get it to the point where some fans basically stalked her mum the whole night. A lot of the time it does go to the genuine fans but what's to say other people aren't deserving too? Just because they're not constantly waving their arms around the whole time and screaming like an idiot? When I saw Katy Perry, there was an annoying guy next to me who kept doing this and trying to muscle me out of my place at the front. He kept talking about how he was going to throw his jacket at her and email her after the show to let her know it was him (god knows how he would even find her email?) and when he did throw it on stage, she didn't even acknowledge it and the security guard took it away. I know that's just one person but I don't think it's fair when these obsessive, over the top fans claw their way to the front and step on other people just to show they're the "biggest fan" and if they're the ones who get chosen to meet these celebrities, it makes you lose hope. Not everyone wants to go nuts and some people might be too embarrassed to dance but because of that, people will think you're not having fun and therefore, you're not worthy to meet your idol. I also don't think it's fair to charge fans hundreds, even thousands of pounds/dollars to meet their idol, especially because not everyone can afford that but at least these m&gs are going to genuine fans. I can't see why someone who doesn't like a singer would pay that much for a photo with them. Even when people follow singers to their hotels and get to meet them, it still isn't particularly fair as not everyone lives in the big cities where they play and they can't wait around or risk getting lost for a one in a million chance they might get to meet them. Of course it is brilliant for the fans who get to meet them for free but not all of us get that luxury so some of us do have to pay for it and unfortunately it can be a lot. I don't have anything against people paying to meet their idols or people who get to meet them for free, as long as everyone is respectful in those situations and not crazy or scary to be around. I'm actually exhausted writing that and I wasn't having a go at you, I just hate when the only way to meet someone is to be chosen as it makes you feel left out when you're not but I'm sure this is equally true for people who can't afford or get m&gs. In an ideal world, we'd all get to meet our favourite celebrities.

So I just wanted to share my m&g picture and experience with y'all. I got to meet her July 27th in Hollywood, Florida. As you all know by now they gave us the backstage tour and we go to see some of Britney's costumes along with some little stories regarding some of her favorite outfits and whatnot. I asked about what exactly happened to the yellow long sleeve Victoria Secret top with the tie since its probably my fav and they just told me it was in storage. We got to get on stage, and see some props like a drum used during Circus. Overall honestly, it was nothing crazy, I think that the fact that the venue was so tiny, and they have so very little props really didn't make the experience super grand. The fact that a few people actually spent 1k over this alone boggles my mind.  Maybe in Vegas it was a little cooler since there is so many more props to see and the fact that she was performing on that stage for like 4 years back to back. 

Onto the m&g, we waited for quite a bit outside the room where Britney was, there was like probably 20 people overall in line. A lot of very friendly and nice fans, so that was good. Larry stood by us for a while, as he was speaking to some tall blonde woman and guy in a suit. They went in to see Britney first and came out, as we all continued to wait. Finally the line started moving and we were all let in one by one. I was a little nervous when I had first gotten to the venue, but by the time it was my turn to go inside I was super calm and ready to go meet her honestly.

The set up looks super cozy in pictures but in person its like a thin screen with a few things scattered around in an empty room lol My first impression of Britney sadly was that she was wearing that black coat again, but also that she seemed very tired and as if she did not want to be there at all. I wish I could tell you this great story about how I able to make her laugh and share a cute moment but that didn't happen.

I told her hi, and she said hi as I leaned in to take a picture with her. I tried to place my hand behind her back to appear closer in the picture and she looked at me nervously as if I was going to do something bad to her. I stopped myself and asked her if it was alright to place my hand behind her back for the pic. She said "sure sweetie" and I proceeded in doing so.  We snapped the picture and I told her I loved her and to have a great show, and she thanked me. 

My experience was not a BAD experience, I just wish we each could have had at least one minute to speak to her. It all felt very rushed and its not exactly Britney's fault. The staff seemed to usher us in and out very quick before we even had a chance to say anything. A fan from Chile told me that he tried telling her about him traveling all the way from Chile to meet her and that she seemed interested in hearing his story and they began ushering him out. I am very thankful and feel lucky to have met someone I have looked up to since I was 7 years old, and if I had to do it all over again I probably would because its not every day you can say you met the legendary miss Britney Spears. 

Some things I would have changed would probably be to let Britney interact with her fans a bit more, heres an idea, wouldn't it be amazing if she were to accompany the tour guide for the backstage tour and offer some cute backstage moments and experiences she's had thus far on the show? Overall the backstage tour is 20 minutes and its not like she's getting ready during that time, so why not have her do it? It would add A LOT to the experience tbh Also I would not have her wear that coat again, its almost as if she's hiding under it so her fans don't touch her.

Here is my picture y'all. :makeitrain:

 

 

I remember you, it was nice meeting you.

The M&G was really fast she met about 35 people in less than 10 minutes. I had thought about shaking her hand or hugging her but I got nervous and didn’t really want her to get nervous or scared. When I saw her my mind went blank and  I said Hi, nice too meet you and she smiled shyly, next thing I knew we took our picture and as I left she asked the crew “How many more?”. I thought my picture was going to come out bad since I was nervous but it came out better than I expected.

Was it like a "oh god, how many more?" or just a simple "how many more?" :decisions:

that's the same criteria to be the freakshow person. You have to meet a "look" under Britney's discretion

Yeah and all those bad ones you two posted are from 2011, 2013 and 2014. Meanwhile the ones I posted are from 2015 onwards. She still has anxiety and looks off every now and then but to deny the meet and greets have improved is just stupid.
